Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. “Os course we’ll finish the job."’ Just remember that a part of the money to be raised by the bond sale will be used in keeping the wheels of prosperity moving. The rest goes to pay honest debts and bring the boys homo from “over there.” Step and think it over a minute. What will happen if we do not meet the government’s request for a five or six billion dollar bond issue? It’s perhaps a mere serious question than you imagine. Just now we are traveling along cn the high tide of prosperity, paying but little attention to affairs. That prosperity will continue if you permit it, otherwise it will fade over night and this country will ruff or for years to ccme. You can well afford to put every dollar you p: wss that the nation need not repudiate is debts, that we can continue to go forward, that the very overnment may live. These are more serious days than you imagine. If this jdrive fails the government would 1 have but one resource, that of imposing a tax on you. This means legislation in congress, a long and tedious quarrel, dangerous in the extreme. Make up your mind right now that you are going to buy bonds and then do it for the country you love. Clocks will again be advanced an hour at midnight on March 30. to remain on the daylight saving schedule until the last Sunday in October. This schedule was adopted as a war measure, but there was no clause limiting it to the duration of the war, and. as congress did not repeal the law. it stays in effect. City people like the daylight-saving schedule because it lengthenns their outdoo. s time. When the city worker quits for the day, at 6 o’clock, it is only 5 by the sun, and the daylight in June and July last for three hours after that. Having set their clocks ahea.l,

the people of the cities and towns adjust themselves to the new time and soon forget that there has been any change. With the farmer it is different. The farmer was the original day light saver. His day begins at sunrise, or earlier, and ends at sunset. The sun is his clock and he cannot move it ahead. Some complaint has been reported from farmers on the setting ahead of the dock, but evidently it was not general—at least it was not strong enough to cause congress to repeal the law.

THRIFT SCHOOL PLAN OUTLINED BY EXPERT i Dr. Shailer Mathews Explains : Scope and Purpose of Great • U. S. Educational Move- ; meat for Saving. By DR. SHAILER MATHEWS. < [Chairman of W. S. S. Educational . Committee for Seventh District and ; Vice Director for Illinois.] Thrift will be taught in the schools J of the states constituting the Seventh • federal reserve district. ■ The children of lowa will help pre- ; pare the Little Lessons in Thrift which . are being written by Prof. Macy Camp- J bell of the lowa State Teachers’ col- . lege, under the general direction of an J educational committee of the district. ■ Besides the chairman the educational , committee consists of W. E. Larson, ■ department of public instruction. M is- , consin; J. V, McNally, Detroit public • schools, Michigan, and Macy- Campbell, , lowa State Teachers’ college. ; The Little Lessons in Thrift appear . fortnightly on printed sheets. The les- ’ sons are prepared for the different . ! grades in the schools. They are ill us- • | trated and interesting. Thby teach • savings as a phase of good citizenship. * give problems of arithmetic in terms of « thrift stamps, chewing gum, candy . and other things a child buys. • It is a new field which is thus being . opened up and the war savings organ- * fzation is rendering a great service to . the rising generation. Nor is it all ; mere t leery. The teaching of the prin- ■ cfples of thrift is combined with a sort * of manual training in thrift, through • the sale of War Savings Stamps in ' schools. ; Along with these Little Lessons in . Thrift the educational committee fur- ■ nlshes the schools with pupils' thrift . cards, on which the teacher keeps an ‘ account of the amount, however small, . which the pupil brings to her for the ; purpose of buying stamps. This prac- < j tlce Itself becomes educational, be- J cause the pupil gets introduced to < simple bookkeeping and banking. ‘ These plans have received the hear- ■ tlest co-operation of the school admin- J istratlon in the various states aud - cities. The parochial and private J schools also are co-operating in die use • of the material and plans prepared by ! the committee. ’ The young men and women of the , ' next generation will have a higher re- j spect for thrift and a better understanding as to how to spend their money, for they will learn even in the, primary grades that thrift is not miserliness but away of spending money sc I as to make it for them.
