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 ana happy nation." The United States possesses every one of these qualities but frugality. Now we must seek that. First, let us be 6ure that we know ! what we are seeking before we be- 1 gin our quest. Frugality or thrift means only good management. Sensible management depends upon considering 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 tor 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 * hatter citizen: increases the gen era] 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 Ugher and opportunities are great American people are not generally Individually classed as well-to-do with the neonle 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 persons dying in this country have absolutely no estate. Of every one hundred persons who reach the age of sixty-five there are only three w^ are not partly or wholly depend en upon friends, relatives or charity for food, clothing and shelter. This cor dition is not the result of anything but extravagance. The future of our nation depends j upon the boys and girls of today. The j way they are taught to spend money i now is the way that they will always j spend it. It is impossible to succeed ; unless one can live with less expendi- j tures than their income will easily cover. Teach the children to spend wisely and conscientiously. Washing ton said "Economy makes happy ? 1 TncHll -if I homes ana souuu uauvun. m..... .. deep " QUAKER ACROSTIC. (Read both ways) The man who saveth money Hath his future cuaranteed.

ESSAY ON THRIFT. m Not only did the gallan'ry of oui American soldiers help win this great Europ? r.n TV.:.-, hut the thrift of the Americur. people p:ayed one of tho most Important parts. It not only kept its own massive army going, but it has helped to feed and clothe thousands of starving peo pie in other countries. Thrift among us was first begun when our forefathers first came tt America, for besides liberty this wa? 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 the great war with England, and so gave us our liberty and freedom. George Washington, the founder ol the nation, had his thriftograms foi the nation as well as for his personal success. Here are some: "Econmakes happy homes and sound na A a art " "MntMn* hp* 11UUO. iuo Will IV UW|>. ivv?xt) ?. harmony, honesty. Industry and fru gality are necessary to make us j great and happy nation." Now oui task has been so great In this grr war, and we have had to lend se much money that thrift means a great deal more now. We are being taught more about ii than ever before. Thrift means success and to mak< a success you have to bare system with everything you spend and see that you always bare Borne of your in come to put in the bank. Let each member of the family do a part ol the work and encourage them to be saving, allow the children a fee for their work and encourage them tc ? ron will soon see still more Thrift Stamps sold; they wtU grow to be War Savings Stamps. Just becuse the war Is over doesn't mean that we have to stop conserving our food, bnt we must raise all that Is possible, can all the surplus, us< all perishable stuff and save the imperishable. To be economical doesn't mean nol to have wholesome pleasure, nutritious 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 ion mine- each dav to be more saving and are doing their house work and all their other work In a more business like way. One-half d zen noil-makers decided to go Into business with a little money they had saved from their earnings. This ts now the $25.000.00C Steel Corporation of Steubensville, Ohio. "The practice of thrift will cause c new era in American life."?Wm. Q. McAdoo. So let all the towns and communities work together at the homes and so make the whole nation a thrifty and more civilized world. There's a "V" in every War Savings Stamp. If you don't believe it ?look again. Or hold W. S. S. until ' maturity and be shown. i The holes in a sieve are small but | water runs out mighty fast Do*s your money dribble away ? Save It.
