If the government could employ a lot of men at fair wages, he thinks there . would be less need for folks to conI tribute to charity every winter.”

The water was over the road at the Borum Run bridge south of' the •ity. evidence sufficient that the rains stopped just in time to avoid a very serious flood in this section. The jitney has not been in operation or a couple of days, owing to the bad condition of the roads. In many ounties operation of automobiles has been suspended under orders be•ause of the gyeat damage done to the highways. The jitneys can get hreugh most.any kind of roads, but he rains of last week made it next to impossible. A former Adams county resident, vhose veracity we have no reason to loubt, sends the following from his iocal paper in South Dakota, and says he is willing to subscribe to the truth hereof: “We know it’s cold—but one day last week when the thermometer was hanging below the zero mark one of the hustling business men of New England was hurrying down to catch the Milwaukee train going east to Mott, and when about thirty feet from the depot he stopped sudlenly, puffing deep and hard from his •xertions. His breath blown out in a vhite thirty-foot streamer, froze at .the end. and broke a window in the Milwaukee depot. The man hurried down and while he found a cracked window could not find the frozen breath. Upon inquiry the agent informed him that the electric light construction gang had carried it off for an electric light pole.” -o WANTED TO RENT —A modern house of about seven rooms.

THRIFT DAY. February 3rd Planned JI the Date for Observance. Days for the observance of special ceremonies designed to call attention to meritorious purposes are growing more numerous iu this country year by year. Independence Day. 1 Memorial Day and Flag Day are some of the days devoted to patriotic pur- ' poses, and we have Arbor Day, Moth ■ ers' Day, and so on; but it has re- ■ mained for Philadelphia to propose . tha we have a Thrift day, devoted to , bringing before the people in a strik- • ing and definite way, the advantages of implanting in the minds of the people a better understanding of the ’ value of economy and thrift as affecting *»oth the individual and her national life. ’ The value of setting aside one special day on which public attention shall be Invited to this important sub- • ject is, of course, obvious. It means ■ that through newspaper articles, lec--1 tures, addresses, talks, advertisements and other avenues of publicity the popular mind will be directed upon i it for the one day at least, that considerable permanent interest will be aroused and taken in many cases that will lead to a wider and permanent cultivation of this economic virtue. Perhaps one result that may be expected to follow' an educational campaign of this sort will consist of a clearer realization of what the word “thrift” signifies. Certainly the word as employed by those who are behind the Thrift Day movement does not mean merely tho saving of money, much less the parsimonious habit which borders on the miserly acquisition of gold for Its own sake. In its widest and best sense thrift signifies the wise adaptation of one’s income to getting the very best out of life, and in addition making careful provision for the unforeseo-’ able contingencies and against the inevitable coming on of age. In speaking of thrifty people we all doubtless have in mind those who live in comfortable houses, who dress well, educate their children, who pay their bills; who, if farmers, have well-tilled farms; if merchants, have their .stocks of goods cojrtly arranged, and their stores kept clean -in short, the people who see that there are no loose ends, no ragged edges, in their domestic or business Thrift, however, is not a virtue that appertains exclusively to the rich or even the well-to-do; but it may be learned and practiced by those in the humblest circumstances, and is the one sure method by which to rise in the world. Every capitalist becomes such only through the exercise of thrift on the part of himself, or of some one else, and all capital, in the first instance, is the product of thrift. But more than this, the cultivation of thrift—the habit of wisely caring for one’ seamings—develops the sterling qualities of citizenship by making hotter men and better women, for it calls for some degree of self-sacrifice as well as for industry and prudence. Thrift Day, February 3, should be appropriately observed by our banks, schools, stores and homes —in short, by everybody, for it aims to develop qualities of inestimable benefit to the individual and to the nation.
