A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By H. r. DANIEL

One of the practical lessons which
S. w. Straus sought year in and year
out to impress upon the masses of the
people of this country was the value
of what he termed patient thrift"
1t was his doctrine that eagerness to
get ahead too rapidly was responsible
for the financial hardships of many
persons. ITO many" he once wrote,
''the processes of systematic saving
and prudent investing seem a little
slow. Experience, nevertheless, has
shown that advancement through
thrift is in many cases rapid
because of the opportunities that
are unfolded for those who pre-
pared themselves in every way
for these circumstances. Thrift
is the happy forerunner of improved
opportunity"
With most persons the chief OBJ
jective of their thrift habits is to
have enough to live on when they
shall have reached the age of retire
ment or the period of life when they
will be able no longer to earn live
lihood. 1t was always the doctrine
of S. w. Straus that, with this OBJ
jective in view, no one could afford tC
| take chance with his savings in ar
effort to obtain abnormal returns
such as might be derived from specu.
| lation or from any investment Of
funds where promises of unusually
large and alluring returns were hel(
| out. 1t was better, he always pointed
| out, to be satisfied with what might
be called fair return on ones saw
| ings and investments.
While this might seem a slow pro
cess the result of patient thrift
along these lines is in reality some
what surprising unless one has made
a close study of possible results. Fol
example, young man starting at 2!
and saving $50 a month until he is A
would have approximately $4,000
provided his savings were invested
and the proceeds re-invested at PEI
cent. What this really means is tina
while he is saving only $500 year HI
is adding $1,000 year to his capital
and, If he should keep this up unit
he reaches the age of retirement sa.
at 60, he would have a sum from
which he could derive very livabl
annuity for the rest Of his years.

who is being prominently mentioned
as the probable recipient Of this years
literary Nobel prize-is often referred
to as an author who has been
moulded" in America. He has been
in this country on several occasions,
and several of his works derive their
motifs direct from his American i'm
pressions. His principal work. a
three-volume novel, THE Long Jour-
ney," published in English in this
country a few years ago, is mentioned
as the book which the prize distribu-
tors may favor with the Nobel award.
Theodore Dresser and o. E. Roel-
vaag Norwegian American) are also
mentioned as candidates for the
Nobel prize this year. No one will
know the result of the deliberations
before December 10.

Mrs. Laura Bratager of Minneapolis,
supreme president of the Daughters
of Norway, a few days ago celebrated
her SEVENTEEN birthday anniversary
and was given many tokens of the
respect in which she is held through
out the country as one of the out
standing women of her race in Amer
lea. This summer Mrs. Bratager was
an officially invited guest at the nine
hundredth anniversary festivities in
Norway, and she was received in au-
dience by King Haakon who bestowed
upon her the gold medal of merit.
She has written considerable poetry,
and is a frequent contributor to Nor

The movement toward branch bank
ing has attained considerable proper
tions in recent years. The big bank
ers are trying to get congress to
change the banking laws so as to
permit branch banking. The argu-
ments in favor of permitting the big
banks to establish branches every
where throughought the country are
plausible but when analysed they
simply amount to an appeal to per-
nit the GENERALIZATION of banking
wealth in the large cities. We do
not believe that the people generally
favor any such movement. AS mat
ter of fact consultations in all lines
of business have become a good deal
of a menace. The last straw would
come when the banking business is
centralized in a few hands. The
coming session of the state legisla-
ture should take up this matter Of
branch banking and protect the people
by doing what can be done in state
way to prevent it.
