THRIFT ESSAY.
Following every war there comes a
period of reconstruction. This conAtlon
prevails even in the United
States at the present time. The
course which we take now will greatly
determine the part which we will
be able to take in the future. Washington
said "Nothing but harmony,
honesty, Industry and frugality are
necessary to make us a great and
happy nation." The United States
possesses every one of these qualities
but frugality. Now we must seek
-that.
First, let us be sure that we know
what we are seeking before we begin
our quest. Frugality or thrift
means only good management. Sensible
management depends upon conb
, sldering the needs of yourself, your
" family and your nation, not only at
the present but also for the future.
It is not only a man's duty to save
for himself but it is his patriotic
duty. Are you patriotic? Undoubtedly
your answer will be in the affirmative.
Then how do you show it? Do
you sing the Star Spangled Banner
and display silk flags or are you a
real patriot who without' much display
works for the good of the nation?
By saving you Increase the capital of
the nation and promote the thrift.
Saving promotes character; makes
a better citizen; increases the general
happiness.
The United States is a wealthy nation.
It is, however, a nation which
is known by the world as an extravagant
nation. Although wages are
higher and opportunities are great
American people are not generally
individually classed as well-to-do with
th* oeople of other nations where op-1
portunitles are smaller. Money Is !
easily earned, and as readily spent.
Government census statistics show
that sixty-six of every hundred persons
dying In this country have absolutely
no estate. Of every one hundred
persons who reach the age of
slxty-flve there are only three wh'
are not partly or wholly dependen'
upon friends, relatives or charity for
food, clothing and shelter. This cor
dltion is not the result of anything
but extravagance.
The future of our nation depends

way they are taught to spend money
now is the way that they will always
spend it. It is Impossible to succeed
unless one can live with less expenditures
than their income will easily

ESSAY ON THRIFT. |
Not only did the gallantry of our
American soldier3 help win this great
European War, but the thrift of the
j American people played one of the
most Important parts.
I It not only kept its own massive
army going, but It haa helped to feed
and clothe thousands of starving people
in other countries.
Thrift among us was first begun
when our forefathers first came to
j America, for besides liberty this wan
I one of the great causes of immigration,
as it didn't count for. anything
in the countries of bondage.
The thrift of our forefathers helped
them gain the great war with Eng
land, and so gave us our liberty and
freedom.
George Washington, the founder of
the nation, had his thriftograms for
the nation as well as for his personal
success. Here are some: "Econor
makes happy homes and sound na
tions. Instill it deep." "Nothing but
harmony, honesty, industry and fru
ftoiiv/ ?? c urvcijfoi; iv uianc ua r
great and happy nation." Now our
task has been so great In this gre^!
war. and we have had to lend so
much money that thrift means a great
deal more now.
We are being taught more about it
than ever before.
Thrift means success and to make
a success you have to have system
with everything you spend and see
that you always have some of your in|
come to put in the bank. Let each
member of the family do a part of
the work and encourage them to
be saving, allow the children a fee
for their work and encourage them to!
save It and you will soon see still:
more Thrift Stamps sold; they will
grow to be War Savings Stamps.
Just becuse the war is over doesn't
mean that we have to stop conserving
our food, but we must raise all that'
is possible, can all the surplus. use J
all perishable stuff and save the un-1
perishable.
To be economical doesn't mean not
to have wholesome pleasure, nutri-j
tiona food and proper clothing; we
must see that our Income is enough
to more than cover our expenses and
have enough for rainy days.
We Americans are naturally extravagant
people, but our women are
learning each day to be more saving
and are doing their house work snd
all their other work in a more bml j
nesa like war.
One-half dozen naJl-imV*rs decide
to go Into business with a little
money they had aaved from their
earnings. This la now the l2S.O00.00f
Steel Corporation of Steubensvflle.
Ohio.
"The practice of thrift will cause ?
new era In American life."?Wm. G
McAdoo.
So let all the towns and communl
ties work together at the homes and
so make the whole nation a thrifty
and more civilized world.
There's a "V" In every Waf Savings
Stamp. If you don't believe It
?look again. Or hold W. S. S. until
maturity and be shown.
The holes in a sieve are small but J
water runs out mighty fast. Do*s
your money dribble away? Save it

STATISTICS SHOW A
WAVE OF CHIME
Commitments to .tail on Various
Charges in South Carolina for
Three Months.
A clear idea of the number and
character of crimes which have been
charged against individuals during
the quarter ending June SI, 1919, is
conveyed in the statistics which have
recently been gathered by G. Croft
Williams, secretary of the state board
of charities and correction. These
statistics were presented to the conference
of sheriffs which was held in
Columbia a few days ago.
They show accurately the crimr
wave which is sweeping over the
state. The table is made up of commitments
to jail as reported by slier
iffs over South Carolina.

The New Boy.
On the first day of school in an
Ohio town the teacher of the first
grade was securing the names of her
pupils.
She came to one youngster whose
father was noted for his profanity
and said: "What is your name.?''
"Bobbie Hughes," was the reply.#
"Do you know your a-b-c's?'
"Hell, no! I hare been here only
fire minutes," was the astonishing
reply.
o
Captains of Industry.
"Do you want the leaves raked off
your grass?" asked the incipient captain
of industry, aged ten, as he
stood at the door of a house.
"Why, we have not got any," re
plied the woman. "We have not a
single shade tree in front.'
"Oh, but you have got four big
baskets of leaves out here", protested
the boy. "Me and another bov dumped
'eni here early this morning, and
I will carry them away for a nickel."

The Use o? Flavorings Determines
Difference In Brands
J
! The Encyclopaedia Britannica says
; about the manufacture of smoking to1
bacco: "... on the Continent and in
! America, certain 'sauces' are employed
! .. .the use of the 'sauces' is to improve
the flavour and burning qualities of the
I leaves." Which indicates that a smoker'3
| enjoyment depends as much upon the
1 flavoring used as upon the tobacco.
Your nose is a eu-e guide in the matter
of flavorings. Try this simple test
, with several tobacco brands: pour some
: tobacco into ycur palm, rub briskly,
and smell. Y en will notice a distinct
1 difference in the fragrance of every
brand. The tobacco that smells best to
you will smoke best in your pipe, you
can rest assured, w -*
Carefully agpd, old Eurlcy tobacco,
plus a dash of pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance
your nose can quickly distinguish from
any ether tobacco. Try it and see,
