THRIFT AND SUCCESS

Opportunities come to everyone, but
often the greatest opportunities can not be
grasped because it requires q little ready
money to enable one to take advantage of
them.
This point is emphasized by q we'll
known financier, who in an article on
thrift, says: Chose who became leaders
in the business world found the turning
point in their careers when they were able
to take advantage of great opportunity
because they had the money at hand. In
most cases the sum of money involved was
small, but coupled with vision, ambition,
clean living and self-mastery, these men
were able to turn their nest eggs into
colossal fortunes
It is undeniable that the habit of saw
ing comes hard for most people, but hav-
ing once made a start it is comparatively
easy to continue. Nothing inspires the con-
fidence of business men in young person
more readily than the knowledge that he
or she is able to save money, even though
the amount saved from month to month is
not large. Many a young man has been
enabled to make most desirable business
connection through reputation for thrift
and having little ready cash.

MOTHERS DAY

In accordance with a national custom
just 20 years old, Sunday, May Is, will be
observed as Mothers Day throughout the
United States, in response to proclama-
ton by the President. who annually desig-
mates the second Sunday in May as a day
of homage to Motherhood.
The day had been observed in some
cities as early as 1910, the idea having
been originated by Miss Anna Jarvis of
Philadelphia, and the custom spread
rapidly. National recognition was given
in 1914, when Congress authorized the
President to designate the second Sunday
in May of each year as Mothers Day, and
the first proclamation under this authority
was issued by President Wilson the same
year.
The object of Che day, as is well
known, is to recall memories of the
mothers who have passed away, and to pay
special tributes of affection to those living.
The badge for the day is the white car
nation, emblematic of the purity, beauty
and fidelity of mothers love. By some
the red carnation is worn in homer of living
mothers.
Few of us reflect as often as we
should on the debt of love and gratitude
we owe to our mothers. By1thoughts and
acts of sincere affection on Mothers Day,
and on other days as well, we h6rof diem
and do credit to ourselves.

SCHOOLS AND MCKEE MOUSE

II. /. Phillips writes of America-"A
land which shouts about its SPLENDID school
system and finds by poll of the pupils
that Mae West, Joe Penner and Mickie
Mouse are the three most popular Amer
lean characters today:
"A land which was once swept to the
heights by such phrases "a Give me liberty
or give me death and Don't tread ON me,
can now be swept by such phrases as
Wanna buy duck?' and "Yowzir'."
There are other contrasts in his list,
equally nnflattering, but those two convey
the idea Mickie Mouse is all right i'm his
way and has been boon to America i'm its
darkest hours by making people laugh
Yet, IL public school education were
thorough and weli-rouaded, Some of those
kids would have had different list of
favorite characters. It is the restricted
outlook and Understanding taste that
are disturbing in these current fads.

CWA men PAINTING :
SCHOOL, ADDING TO
FAIR All BUILDING
Commissioners Approve New
Coal Room at Court House
Subject to State OK.

When Redwood Falls grade school
children go back to school Monday af-
ter a two weeks vacation, they will
find freshly painted rooms, the work
of CWA employees.
Twelve painters have been busy all
vacation on the project. Time will not
permit finishing all the halls and
woodwork before school starts but
the work will be continued until fin
ished.
Meanwhile, several CWA men are
at the Redwood county fair grounds
erecting an addition to the All club
building. County commissioners in
session Tuesday and Wednesday stat
ed that not enough room was avail
able for all All club members at the
fair and they feel that more accom-
modations were badly needed.
The board Wednesday approved a
coal bin for the court house subject
to approval by the state CWA COM
mittee. The bin would be built und-
erground on the north side of the
building. The room across from the
county agents which has been used
as a storeroom will be converted in
to office quarters and the goods in
that room will be stored in the old
coal bin.
Lyle S. Garlock, certifying officer
in charge of CWA payrolls, stated
Wednesday that the government is
purchasing clothing for CWA en-
ployees who need it. The goods in
cludes caps, shoes, overshoes, under
wear, socks, n1ittens, overalls and
shirts and is purchased from business
men in the city in which the employee
works.
Some workers, including men at Lu-
can, Milroy, Seaforth, Wabasso and
Vesta, feeling that they are earning
enough to buy their own clothing,
have refused to accept goods. Others
are taking only small part Of IT.
John w. Lauterbach has started a
survey among Redwood Falls CWA
men to determine the amount of
clothing needed here. He will inter-
view each worker.
