THE LESSON
OF FRANKLIN
The anniversary of Benjamin
Franklin's birthday, is, quite
appropriately, also, one day of
National Thrift Week.
We say quite appi*opriateIy
because of all the many virtues
possessed by Franklin none of
them is more worthy of emu
lation by the people of this
day and generation than the
practice of thrift—a practice
which enabled him to start as
a poverty-stricken tramp print
er and end his days as one of
the wealthiest and most influ
ential men of his time.
One might properly ask,
“What is thrift?" and “Why
do they try to persuade me to
start a bank account, own my
own home, make a budget,
carry life insurance, pay my
bills and make a will?" These
are fair questions and here is
a fair answer:
“Thrift is vision. Vision is
thrift."
At times the idea of starting
a bank account or taking out
life insurance or buying your
own home, or making budgets,
or wills, occurs to all of us, but.
with our usual human frailty
and procrastination, we lack
that quaility of decision and
determination to crystallize the
idea into concrete action.
Therefore, a number of nat
ionally prominent men and
women have banded them
selves together to concentrate
the minds of Americans on the
things we ought to do—things
that we owe to ourselves and
to our relatives to do-and for
the next seven days they will
preach the gospel of thrift,
which is the gospel of good
sense, so as to focus our at
tention on our plain duty.
Throughout National Thrift
Week you will find the bank
ers, insurance men, real estate
dealers and others whose ad
vice you will need ready and
willing to be of unusual service
to you.
THE SMALL TOWN.
One frequently hears the com
plaint voiced by the very young
members of the community
that they are fed up with the
email town and that they long
to get out into the big world
where they could do things
and enjoy life to the full.
Only experience can teach
that these juvenile hopes and
aspirations are in the majori
ty of cases doomed to bitter
disappointment in the realizat- j
ion of what the great outside |
world holds in store. The ma
iority of this juvenile army
)f longers after life and ex
citement come to the stage
where they would give any
hin to get back to the sim
pler pleasures and real friends
?f the small town only to find I
hat they are carried by a cur
rent which renders the back
ward swim a feat impossible
)f accomplishment.
Perhaps the restless young
sters are old enough, and big
enough, and know enough to
are for themselves, but it usu
ally is the case that those who
>rag about being able to care
'or themselves are the- ones •:
who need the most restraining.
While those who have gone
hrough the experience can
•ympathize with those who
ehafe at the confines and re- \
rtrictions of a “little burg,” yet j
hey can assure the young
people of today that they have
n that “little burg” nearly all
the things and nearly all the
>pportunities which the young
folks of a couple of decades 1
ago thought they had to go to
the big city to get. Young folks
ef today have pleasures and
opportunities manyfold greater 1
han those which were present
sd to the young folks of yester
day. In the “little burg” today
are all the things that would *
have made contented the <
young folk of yesterday.
When those now in middle
age were young there were no
moving picture theatres and <
unless they moved out of the
“little burg” they had no
chance to see a good show. But,
looking back through the
years, the little family parties
and taffy pulls, almost never
heard of now, seem to have
been far from unpleasant af
fairs and can be recalled with
genuine pleasure by most of us.
We got along pretty well
with all our handicaps and
there was far more sociability
when there were fewer places
to go than there is now, when
even staid folks who were
raised under the most prosaic
conditions of a couple or three
decades ago have been partial
ly carried away by the grow
ing craze for amusement, to be
entertained, to be doing some
thing and to be going some
where.
Just for Fun
Our guess is when a worm
turns it is merely to contem
plate where he was and not to
see where he is going.
Eventually there will be ma
chines to do almost all of the
office work except the gum
chewing.
Be cold toward your job and
you’ll find yourself fired.
Waiter: “Spoon, Miss?”
Boy Friend: “Say, whose par
ty is this?”
The Golfer-They’re all afraid
to play me. What do you think
my handicap is?
The Girl-Oh, I don’t know,
ft may be your face.
Wife- The doctor says that he
has given you a new lease on
life.
Hub-That so? Well, he didn’t
leave me much with which to
pay the rent.
Interesting College Figures,
leadlines the Ohio State Journ
al, and we suppose it means
;he co-eds.
Customer: “I’ve brought that
last pair of trousers to be re
seated. You know I sit a lot.”
Tailor: “Yes, and perhaps
you’ve brought the bill to be
’eceipted, too. You know I’ve
stood a lot.”
Some girls xwork too hard to
jet married and others marry
lecause they have to work too
lard.
Its time to make a resolution
o keep your resolutions.
Every time we get on our ear
iomebody steps in our face.
It is strange, but when a man
ows his wild oats he just raises
:ain.
Many a man keeps his nose
o the grindstone so he can
turn it up at the bill collectors.
What the modern girl is fitted
for: One-piece bathing suits.
Employer: “How long would
you stay with me if I could not
pay you.?”
Engineer: “As long as you’d
keep me if I couldn’t run the
power plant.” *
“What’re you doing with that
red lantern?”
“I just found it. Some darn
fool left it beside a hole in the
road.”
ROUGH AFFAIR
y
The bride was downed with
a charming white georgette
crock trimmed with white satin
over which fell a full length
veil.
Social Item Willard (Ohio)
Times.
Eddie Haddon says the first
broadcasting station of them
all was ODR standing for Old
Dame Rumor.
Too often the “little fairy in
our home” turns out to be only
a butterfly.
Say boys, isn’t it a fact that
eyes now know how overwork
ed the imagination used to be!
“I’d give anything if my wife
wasn’t so wishy-washy.”
“I’d be satisfied if mine just
wasn’t so wishy.”
Religion ought to make folks
kind and charitable. But the
worst and unkindest critics
we’ve had, boasted of their
religion.
“Bobbie, why did you take
your little sister’s candy and
eat it?” Why didnjt you ask
her if you could have it?”
“Why, I did, mamma, and she
said I couldn’t.”

Reliable Information
Relative To
PORTLAND CANAL
MINING DISTRICT
In former times the young
man left home to make money.
Now he goes away to spend it.
Jim Roberts tell of a fellow
v.ho walked into the doctor’s
office and said: “Say, Doc,
I wanted to know if it was
possible for a person to have
halitosis of the feet? Anyhow,
I believe I’ve.got it.”
Prospect for a perfect hus
band: Gene Tunney says he is
not going to marry until he
stops fighting.
Recent newspaper advertise
ments illustrate an a.lmost per
fect kitchen, the only thing
lacking being a can opener that
will really open cans.
Hint to doctors: If the young
lady insists that she be vacci
nated where it won’t show, try
her ear.
