WHAT REAL THRIFT
WM ACCOMPLISH
?cccoscful Men Began By Saving
Their Money AB a Matter of
. Fixed Habit
j Abraham Lincoln was a notable ex
emplar of the value of thrift of time.
We can picture him trudging forty
miles to borrow a grammar.' We can
SM him prone before the pine fire at
night after a hard day's work log
esttfag, reading and re-reading the
statutes of Indiana, the -only book he
earned, or learning to write and figure
with a piece of charcoal on the back of
a wooden shovel, as he had no paper
or Ink.
Another example of what a boy can
do who does hot waete time ls that of
a Milwaukee man, Nels Anton Chris
tensen, recently appointed by the
Ufcited States government, through
Secretary of the Navy Daniels, on the
inventors' staff of the new United
States Naval Board, which includes
the greatest inventive . ninds in the
mation.
Born in Denmark, Nels Christen
sen's school days ended at 14 years.
Alfter that he worked in a machine
atop days and attended a technical
school in the evenings. From his
savings he defrayed the expense of a
.oarse at the Copenhagen Technique
Institute, from which he was graduatr
sd at 21. Prevtoift to that he attain
mational prominence as an engineer,
. baring designed, when 19 years old,
Hie Danish lighthouse at Kanstholme,
one of the largest in the world.
During the three years he spent on
aa English steamer engaged in Med
' aterranean trade he learned enough
English to secure a position with an
English manufacturing concern. Since
coming to the United States he has in
Tan ted many compressed airbrake
starters for railroads, aeroplanes and
Ire engines that have brought him
world-wide fame.
Thoma? Edison began to save be
fore he began to Invent " The success
ful magazine editor, Edward Bok,
started saving on a salary of 60 cents
a week. Grover Cleveland's wages
tor his first year of work totaled $50.
Garfield could not have become pres
ident had he not saved early in life.
Horace Greeley and Cooper founded
their careers on saving.
Ex-Governor Ferris of Michigan,
BOW a college president a life-long ad
vocate of thrift, telis of his own thrif
ty training: "In my youth If I had a
?toy, I made it, and made it not to
mit myself alone but it had to suit
ny father as well His examination
af my work and his Insistence that I
should put the best there was in me
even into my toys put into my back
a spine and sufficient lime to last a
.lifetime."
Thrift was the keynote of success in
tb? life of tbs late James J. Hill. He
was one of the country's most con
sistent exponents of thrift, ons of the
! greatest examiners of what this vir
I tvs combined with energy and high
parp?se, can do. He preached always
that the man who cannot save money
wlH be a failure; that though he may
I bave education, talent and ability,
Jwlthost thrifty habits he cannot suc
ieeed.

The new Treasury Savings Certif

funds of fraternal societies, labor ur

The public auction of Augusta's
first bale of cotton for 1919-an oc
casion which is always looked for
ward to by the local cotton men

of the Cotton Exchange. The bale,

pound, bringing a total of $113.50
Mr. David Nachman, of Nachman
& Co., was the highest bidder and se
cured the much sought after bale. Mr.
E. A. Cutts of Savannah, one of
Georgia's foremost cotton men, was
present to conduct the sale and de
livered a short and interesting talk
in praise of Augusta. The cotton was
received in Augusta Sunday after
noon and carried to the firm of E. A.
Cutts. "
The first bale handled in Augusta
last year reached the city on the af

13 State Have Ratified Suffrage
Amendment.
New York, Aug. 3.-With Arkan
sas's ratification of the federal suf
frag amendment on Monday, July 28,
it is pointed out by' the National
American Woman Suffrage Associa
tion that one-third of the states neces
sary to make the federal suffrage law
operative in the United States have
already swung into line.
Montana's ratification on July 30
rounded out a baker's dozen of states
for the amendment.
The association also calls attention
to the fact that more than a majority
of the total population of the country
is now represented in approval of
votes for American women. With
New York's 9,000,000, Pennsylvania's
7,000,000, Illinois 5,000,000, Ohio
4,000,000 population, it has been easy
to run up the figures of those who
have ratified the amendment through
their representation to a respectable
majority.
Using the figures of the 1910 cen
sus as a basis, nearly 49,000,000 out
of a total population of 91,972,266
live in states which have already
stamped their official approval upon
the amendment to the United States
constitution, which will give political
equality to American wom*n.
