THRIFT
Marian K. Wills
Benjamin Franklin was a
great teacher of thrilfc Ho said,
“A penny sa\u d is two pence
earned ” During the Revolution
ary War Franklin was sent to
France. The French were aston
ished at his simple homespun
clothes. He told them he would
never wear anything else till
the great war was over. The
French respected him more
because of his simple’ ways and
wise sayings. He showed the
Colonists how to - conomize dur
ing the war. He was one of on;
greatest Thrift leaders.
He Wrote “Poor Richard’s
Almanac.’’ which contains his
wise sayings. One time John
Paul Jones went to France to
get a ship to fight with during
the Revolutionary War. He sent
a messenger to ask the King lor
a ship. White the messenger
was gone lie [licked up “Poor
Richard’s Ini nao” and started
to lead. This wise saying caught
his eye, “If you would have a
thing W' li done, do it yourself.
If not, send. ' He put on his hat
and in shed n >wn to see the King
himself i he King had refused
the inessi nger, but when Jones
pieaded with him he consented.
Jones caned tiiis ship tlte “Bon
Homme Kichard,” wiiich means
Poor Kichard.

bookkeeping out-ins consist of a

Blanks and S;t;i > Paper.
This C ir.s.ijj i>, the children
instead of getting toys etc., ret
eived Bank Accounts. Mrs
Harrais gave us all bookkeeping
and thrift outfits. So I suppose
the year ll)2(> will be a year of
saving and economy.
At the first of the year we
all started our bookkeeping. We
all had the ten dollars of our
Christinas money to start out
with. Many of the children had
much more, including tin; bal
ance of the money they saveu in
lb2.>. We all like our outfits
very much, and enjoy keeping!
our accounts.
Its greatest value is that we
!
must classify every expenditure,;
as to whether it was snenl for
necessities, luxuries, charity or
gifts, to increase our own ability,
or for permanent investments.
Then at the end of the month
we compare the totals of each
column to see a,7 hat kind of
characters we are building, if
we have spent more for luxuries
than for necessities it means we
jack self control. If we have
spent nothing on charity or
gilts it means we are selfish, if
we have made no permanent inv
estment it means we lack fore-1
sight.
We have adopted the follow
ing thrift creed:
1. It is the foundation of a
strong character in that it builds
up self denial, will power and
>elf confidence.
2. it promotes the growth of
individual industry and respon
sibility.
3. It calls for intelligence in
spending and results in scient
ific management of one’s person
al affairs.
4. it develops forethought
and removes one of the greatest
causes for worry.
5. it puts one in line for the
best positions.

Kiiby Silver mine, near Chulitna
j expect to see certain interested
jpaities visit their property in
jJune for the purpose of beginn

Johnson and Wertz have
prospected and carried on the
development work on their
ground for the past two years
and have it now opened sufficie
ntly, for anyone to make a fair
appraisal of the ledge. It has
long been a known fact that
their claim bore all indications
