Seheerer, Inc.. 35 East Wecker Drive Chicago 200 F.fth Avenue, New York SAVING:— W hile a good deal is today being I. said of the desirability of economy |, in government, it seems to be felt'. that economy in individual expend!- j. turcs is almost criminal. The man' who saves Is vury likely to be de- ■. | 1 nounced and sneered at as a tight- j wad by those who sport motor cars . and leave their grocery b.lls unpaid. l . Yet it Is the part of wisdom to save,l] as, even in these expansive days, J ( many people realize, as savings ac- | counts show. It really is not pleasant to live too close to the margin of income. For while it is exciting ( to play life’s game just so as to "keep , ahead of the hounds,” th e business t after a time gets on the nerves, and | one begins to wonder how close is the ] nearest dog of the pack. A wider j interval between pursued and pur- , suer is highly desirable. j But the game o.f saving is not with- , out its thrills—indeed a real game , can be mode of it. Not till a man ( earnestly tries to save, not in a pinch- , lag, but a reasonable and gentlemanly way, does he realize how much money has been wasted. And this is true t even when the man admits that much f of what h e ceases to spend was really i not wasted, since it gave innocent t pleasure—tobacco, for example. But < nevertheless it is discovered that 1 there is a wide margin between in- a come and expenditures within which a large savings may be made. These 1 savings are of course just so much t additions to income—as much so as though wages had been increased to that amount. t One of the prizes of a rational and i well-ordered campaign of saving is a t pecuniary and ethical. Not ti*l people f . sen f the t ruth t cf the saying a penny saved is a i penny got.” The addition to income t is as real, and as truly earned as it j ■would be had it come in the pay envelope. There is in truth no easier 1 way to increase income. For no in- . vestment is required, except, of ' course, a modicum of good sense. , There has been much preaching of the ' gospel of thrift, which is well, but too often if is thought of as thrift for its own sake. It will help somewhat to consider the practice of saving in its relation to common sense and selfrespect—the latter in particular. It wotild be a great thing if all people could be made to understand that it is not respectame for them to have what they can pot. with honesty and dignity, afford (o nave, and that both honesty a nd dignity demand that they save the money that may be tempted to spend for such things. Thus character is strengthened, and the power of selfcontr-ol greatly reinforced. It is a great mistake to slouch through life, spending without a thought of the future —or even of the present—and for things which one would be better off without, forth a time may come when saving wijl be forced, and perhaps there will nothing left that can be saved- It is not of money in itself, or for its own sake, that the wise man thinks, but rather of the decency of life and elevation of character. —Indianapolis News. The teacher's retirement fund is short, It is claimed over a million dollars and the Hoosier State Automobile Association is trying to discover vfhat has become of the 000 automobile theft fund. And in the meantime the 514,000,000 fund in the.

I state troaaury has now been reduced to 33,000,000 and tne fact remains that during the last year of the Ralston administration the entire amount of taxes raised by the state was but $8,000,000 as compared to more than six times that amount this year. A\vakeu voters before it's too late. Wisconsin has taken another slap 'at President Coolidge and his administration, Governor J. J. Blaine defeating Senator Leuroot for the nomination for senator. Blaine was endorsed by Senator Bob LaFollette and Lenroot by the president. Its so ser-l Jimis that Senator Lenroot says he] will not support Blaine in the November election. It certainly will take a lot of courage for Mr. Coolidge to ask a third term in the face of the mandate of the people wherever it has been tested. Patriotism seems to have dwindled. I The sesquitenial celebration in Philadelphia, celebrating the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence has been so ! poorly patronized that it is necessary to stage a prize fight between two big bruisers, Dempsey who dodged service in the World war and Tunney. Supporters of the fair are banking largely on this event next week producing enough cash to save them from bankruptcy. Comparing the tax levies in this city and county with those in others' near here should satisfy every one that our officials have, done well. Portland has a rate twenty-five cents higher than the Decatur rate, Bluffton is eight cents over this city and carries a fifteen cent sinking fund. In nearly every county efforts have been made to cut the appropriations as much as possible but its a difficult' proposition in this rapidly moving age. The rains are becoming serious and the bright outlook of a few weeks ago for a splendid crop in this section I now looms dark. The oats has been ■ washed away on many farms, the corn cannot ripen, every crop of the late! harvest is in danger and indications' are that the farmer will again be up against stiff odds to make e..ds meet. I It may be hard to smile through it . boys, but its the best thing to do. Germany has become a member of I the League of Nations and Germany , is a smart nation.
