Following every war there comes a period of reconstruction. This con dition prevails even in the United j States at the present time. The course which we take now will great ly determine tho part which we will be able to take in the yfut&re. Wash ington said "Nothing, but Harmony^" honesty, industry and frugality are necessary to make us a h 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 be gin our quest. Frugality or thrift means only good management. Sensi ble management depends upon con sidering the needs of yourself, your family and your nation, nbt only at the present but also for the future. Tt is not only a man'*- duty to save for himself but it is his patriotic duty. Are you patriotic? Undoubted ly your answer wilJL be .in the affirma tive. Then ho^f'do you show it? Do you sing the 8tar Spangled Banner | and display silk flags or are you a real patriot who without much dis play works for the good of the nation?

The United Statfes Is a wealthy na tion. It Is, however, a nation which is known by the world as an extrava gant nation. Although wages are higher and opportunities are '.great American people are not generally Individually classed as well-to-do with Ike people of other nations where op portunities are smaller. Money Is easily earned, and as readily spent. Government census statistics show that sixty-six of every hundred per sons dying in this country have abso lutely no estate. Of every one hun dred persons who reach the age of sixty-five there are only three wh' are not partly or wholly dependen' upon friends, relatives or charity for food, clothing and shelter. This con dition Is not the result of anything but extravagance. The future of our nation depends upon the boys and girls of today. The 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 expendi tures than their Income will easily eover.

Not only did the gallantry of our American soldiers help win this great European War, but the thrift of the American people piayed one of tha most Important parts. It not only kept its own maeslve ^trmy going, but It has helped to feed and clothe thousands of starving peo ple in other countries. Thrift among us was first begun when our forefathers first came to America, for- besides liberty this was one of the great causes of Immigra tion, as It didn't count for anything in the countries of bondage. The thrift of our forefathers helped them gain *he groat war with Eng land, and so gave us our liberty and freedom. ' , George Washington, the founder of the Nation, had his thriftofcrams for the nation as well as for his personal success. Here are tome: "Econom makes happy homes and sound na tions. Instill it deep." "Nothing bat harmony, honesty, Industry and fru gality are necessary to make us . ? a great and happy nation." Now our task has Jjeen so great In this great war. and we bare had to lend so much money that thrift means a great deal more now. We are being taught more about it than ere r before. Thrift means success and to make a success you hare to have systea 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 yon will soon see still more Thrift Stamps sold; they will grow to be War Savings Stamps. Just becuse the war is over doesnt mean that we have to stop conserving our food, but we must raise all that is possible,' can aH the surplus, use all perishable stuff and save the ftn perishable. To be economical doesn't mean not to have wholesome pleasure, nutri tious food and proper clothing; we must see that our income is enough to more than cover our expenses and have enough for raipy days. * We Americans are naturally ex travagant people, but our women are learning each day to be more saving, and are doing their house work and all their other woVk in a more busi ness like way. One-half dozen nail-makers decided to go into business with a little money they had. saved from their earnings. This ia now the $25,090,000 Steel Corporation* of Steubensvilla, Ohio. "The practice of thrift will cause a new era in American life." ? Wm. O. McAdoo. So let all the towns and communi ties work togcthsr at the homes and so make the whole nation a thrifty and more civilised world. There's a "V** in rrary War ?av ings Stamp.
