Financial independence

The nation this week has been educated to
the subject Of THRIFT. President Roosevelt
added his endorsement to it, thereby giving It
the flavor Of the NEW DEAL.
THRIFT is not so much mater Of fru-
gallty as it IS in SAVING SOMETHING O1T
OF WHAT We EARN. The man who does
not save SOMETHING is menace to himself
and to society. No matter how neager his earn
ings man can SAVE SOMETHING.
He may have only the bare necessities in
his food and only clothing enough to keep warm,
but if he is made of the RIGHT STUFF. he
win SAVE SOMETHING. Otherwise his lot
is hopeless.
First Of all comes his LIFE INSURANCE.
No man is honest to his family who does not pro-
tect his loved ones, against the possibility Of
his death. But that is not ALL If man does no
