w
an ARGUMENT FOR THRIFT.
The Treasury IJ- rtluent liu: issued a little book
let that i:oill(1 lie 1 -nil by < very young man :und
woman In the n.intry and it would not hurt if it
Tilt >• id by thore who are older. It bears the title,
“Hew Other People Get Ahead," and it is devoted
! , the com r rf tlirif: urging thrill and condemning
alike the sv-tern if me tightwad and the lack of syi>
ttm of the spendthrift. In lining thrift it says:
Thrift means 'good management; vigorous
grew tit. "Thrift is the lust means of thriv
ing." Thtlft means t pending less than yon
earn. it does not mean that you should
Hep spending. Thrift means securing inter
on your savings. Money kept in hiding
never earns anything. Put your money to
work. You work for money; mak< it work
for you.
Knew what you buy hr lor, buying it.
Read advertising. Get acquainted with trade
matkp, brand- and their significance. Weigh
expenditures. Put-on your thinking cap and
keep It on.
The wise man is he who so regulates his
income and cutgc. that ..-gencles" are
provided for automatically. lie knows the
meaning of "peace of mind," because he has
money laid by. lie is master, not the slave,
of circumstance:?.
To get ahead you must have a simple and
definite plan. Idet or miss methods won't do;
.in the accumulation of money they are posi
tively fatal.
There is no reasonable desire that the
average person should not he able to gratify
.11 Uu will practice thrift, it Is remarkable
how quickly money accumulates when laid
h.v regular and cynteuiarlcully.
Referring to the effect of thrift on the Nation the
book says:
A country of thrifty citizens makes a
f.lrcng and healthy Nation. National thrift
is a protection against war; an assurance
of low'er living costs; a guaranty of good
employment. Why? Because the Nation is
but an aggregation of individuals, whose per
tona! imhi:s become national habits.
Andrew' Carnegie's advice, always given to those!
seeking it and often proclaimed to the world, is.
quoted:
The best way to accumulate money is
resolutely u bank u fixed portion of your
income, no matter limv small the amount.
Also Benjamin Krnnklm, who said:
Rem ember that money in of a prolific,
genu a ting nature. Money can beget money,
and its offspring can beget more, and so on.
The nit.ie there it; of it the more it pio
duci every turning, eo that the profits rise
quicker and quicker.
The Treasury Department booklet points out that
thrift does not mean spoiling the present in order to
have money for the future. It says:
Thrift does not look toward the future
alone. Thrift meanr better living now. Bet
ti r foods, better clothe#, greater enjoyment
< f ri.-i eatiens, greater dividends from life
itcclf. Why? Hi a use you have put your
financial affairs on a »imi(l basis.
All of which is true and logical. The thrifty man
!s the one who hut money to spend. Too often there
It a clc.tr kinship between the tightwad and the
spent hlrti't than hitw'c n either of them and the
thrifty man. '1 he tightwad won't spend money and
'he spendthrift can t. lie hasn't any to spend and he
fk in debt to the limit. The result is the same. It
is the thrifty man who helpt make the Fourth of
July fund or the civic enterprises a sucec-a. He is
the man who can give his; family a vacation and good
clothe: and foods’ In season. lie is the man who is
pie pa red to take advantage of a business opportunity
tor he it; the ono who has the money to do it. Ho
is the man w ho has credit when he nitty need it tit
the bank or the s ore. He is the useful and pros
perous citizen, the provid’ lit father and husband,
the happy nian who enjoys life.
REACTION COUNTING IN FAVOR OF
GOVERNOR SMITH.
The New York livening Poet, which supports the
Eighteenth Amendment and the Volsteud Act, says
the it act ion trim the repeal of the prohibition en
forciment law in New York is in favor of Governor
Smith and that the opposition loaders admit it. The
Republican Parly of New York, it rays, is split over
the que.lion, but the fact that u majority of the
Republicans in both houses of the legislature voted
against ihe repeal bill makes it so it would be im
practicable for tlie Republicans to nominate a wet
candidate next year aprinet Governor Smith, whom,
it is believed, w-iil be the Democratic nominee again.
The twe strongest Republican candidates for the
nc ml n at Ion. Speaker Maehold or the House of Rep
resentative.-, and Theodore Roosevelt, Assistant Secre
tary cf the Navy, are both wet, and it is now be
lieved by the Republicans that it would bo suicide
to nemfnate either one of them. They declare that
would divide the ■ prohibition vote and thut nothing
op eirth can prevent Governor Smith from getting
tip wet vojo. < , ,

lias taken a lot of Ltie wind out of the sails of those
who opposed the measure. The circumstances that to
many able lawyers and judges have agreed with the
reasoning of the Governor and that the answers to
lii.s arguments have not carried conviction to the
people are counting strongly in favor of the Chief
Executive according to the New York paper.

Germany ia new issuing marks at the rate of more
than 125.000,000,000 per day including Sundays —
alm<*M u trillion a week This Is (lie climax of one
of the moat stupendous swindles ever perpetrated by
a nation. It Is equalled only by Soviet Russia. The
middle of June there were about ten trillion marks
In circulation.
Tlie bears have succeeded in wiping out the gains
made by stocks on Wall Street during the first week
in June and at last accounls they were registering
at about the same figures as the May low, showing a
paper loss of $1,700,000,000 since the May high was
passed.
Livestock in Yukon.
(Dawson Nows.)
I The success attending the raising of rattle, sheep
[and hogs in Yukon is striking. The experiments made
to date are such as to encourage with a growing
population also an increase in the breeding and rais
ing of such stock in this country. In fact, with the
present t>opulation there is a far greater demand
for meats than any local production for years can
hope to supply.
Many tons of beef, pork und mutton annually are
bi.'.light to this Territory from outside points and con
sumed here. For ull of this a big sum of money an
nually is tent out of the country.
Every time u home-grown hog sheet? or steer is
consumed in this country, the money which it ri pre
sents is kept in the Yukon. When the money is
sent out to buy such products it is removed from
circulation here. The same principle applies to the
shipping out of money for any article of consump
tion which can be raised in this country.
Home produced vegetables’, poultry and eggs have
kept much money in Yukon during the life of the
Klondike camp.
It only recently has been discovered that cattle
can be bred, wintered and brought to% marketable
age in Yukon to a profit. New sheep aro V'olng
raised. Hogs have been raised to some advantage for
yea rs.
The trcsli killed local meat.1 have been wonder
fully toothsome and much appi eclated when put on
the markets mid-winter, and It is to be hoped the
Dawson, Mayo and Whitehorse markets in time will
lie ubii to get the bulk of their supply from local
growers.
In the meantime everything that can be done to
encourage local -production of livestock will be along
the lines of substantial development and permanent
occupation for Yukon.
New Y'ork Not Wet.
(San Francisco Bulletin.)
Governor Smith has not made New York legally
wet. The repeal cf the Mullan-Gage law merely
leaves the State in the same position that California
was in prior to the operation of the Wright law
When Governor Smith was debating the question as
to whether lie should sign or veto the repeal he was
presented with the following opinion signed by four
eminent New York jurists:
'The Eighteenth Amendment imposes upon the
States no constitutional duty to pass legislation in
aid of a Federal law passed to enforce the consti
tutional provision, although when Congreve has oc
cupied the field by legislation the State:-: may not
thereafter pats legislation in conflict therewith."
The jurists signing that statement were E Henry
r.acotube, former judge of the United Stutrs District
CourtWillard Bartlqtt, former chief judge of the
New York Court of Appeals; Aimet F. Jenks, former
presiding Justice of the Appellate Division of the
Second Department, ancf Austen G. Fox, a leader of
the New York bar.
But high legal authority, is not necessary to in
dorse a statement obvious to ail save what Governor
Sni.tli describes as "fanatical wets and fanatical drys.”
Now i ork is still a member of the Union and is at Hi
constitutionally and Congtesrional dry.
Marriage Laws.
(San Francisco Bulletin.)
The California Congrer, of Mothers will doubtless
be pleased to learn that Nebraska has just enacted
the very type of new marriage law that it is urging
upon the legislature of this State. Henceforth in
Nebraska all that want to marry must wait ten days
after taking out u license, and during that period
he license must be displayed on a bulletin board in
tile clerk.* office where everybody may read it.
No more "spur of the moment” weddings in Ne
braska and no more elopements. To elope a couple
must cross the State line. But this is precise I v what

friendly Philosophy
The truly "Ureat" are invariably
the last to learn that they are great,
and even then, believe their admir
ers to be laboring under a mistaken
idea. J.E.F.
But Not Al! the Plays He Puts
On Are
“A. Frost" is the name of a theatri
cal producer in London.
If It Fits—
At that, we guess it depends as
much upon how a woman looks its
it does on how she cooks to hold
her husband.
It's all right for girls to like
things to match, but it strikes us
they are going too far when they
wear shoes and stockings to match I
their lips.
When a young man becomes known
aB ''Home sheik" our guess is that
he hasn't any more chance than a
rabbit of ever getting into the Hall
of Fame.
Going through life without com
mon sense is about as dangerous as
driving a high power car without
a brake.
A man should live for his wife
unless he Carrie* a big life insur
ance, and then 'maybe she would
rather he would 4t« for her.
We can’t thin* of anything fun
nier than a bald headed man buy
ing his wife a hair net when she
has bobbed hair.
Marriage never is a failure unless
you make it so.
Even if the Itihle was rewritten it
would be just as hard to get some
people to read it. so why bother
about rewriting it?
Really mean people, never have
any trouble making either the mean
ing or meanness clear.
When we meet a man who is tak
ing a cynical view of life be makes
us feel he Is having a heck of a
time trying to jive with his con
science.
When we see the number of peo
ple driving machines these days we
can’t help but wonder if anybody
but makers of can and accessories
and owners of filling stations ever
had any money to deposit in the
bank.
Another man we never believe is
! the one who boasts that lie never
rhas done anything of which he is
. ashamed.
