FRENCH THRIFT > \ France is making a wonderful r^ overy. Out of 1,400 miles of railway detroyed in the war, more than 90 per , ent have already been replaced. Of the 550,000 houses destroyed, ome 160,000 have been reninrorf epaired. More than one-half of the 1,986 fac ories destroyed are now re-estahlishi d nd producing. In every line of activity the French ave demonstrated wonderful recupertive powers. What is the reason? There is no question as to the anwer: it is thrift?not only thrift itself ut the HABIT of thrift which is an mmeasurably bigger thing. France belongs to its people. In a opulation of 40.000.U00 some 12.000,00 are householders of whom <i fifth non wn their own homes. Nearly one-half** he area of France is under cultivation nd there are few laudhogs. I have one more car of coal. All ho are going to need coal this win;r, give me your order# now. First ome first served. W. P. ODOM. il III Jl ifft Mi bp fivfw . \V\v k ' % ' :amel t!
