The writer and Jesse Brouhard bad a collision Saturday afternoon with Sol Norman's Studebaker while on their way home from Rensselaer. We started out of town past the depot and entered the range line road from the west, and, when we had lined up after we had turned north, we noticed Mr. Norman coming down the west side of the road and naturally we pulled across to the opposite side, which was our side, and had gotten Hear to the grass line when he ran into us. We can see no reason for the accident If Mr. Norman had held bls own side. He bad as much as 40 feet to turn his car back, but from the time he first turned his machine he made a bee line across the road, hence the collision. If he had been driving fast it might have been difficult to have turned back with safety but the cars were both moving slowly.

GALLS THRIFT GOOD FOR ALL BUSINESS

R. E. Springsteen, W. S. S. Director for Indiana Outlines State Campaign for Present Year. Indianapolis, Ind., June—Thrift Is not only good business for business, but is good business for every city and every county in Indiana. This is to be the text of the 1919 campaign for War Savings stamps sales in Indiana, according to State Director Robert E. Springsteen. “We are able to show, from results obtained here in the state last year," said Mr. Springsteen, “just how the thrift campaigns work out for cities and counties, as well as for Individuals. These campaigns help not only Individuals, but whole communities. “Marlon county’s savings banks and trust companies last year Increased their deposits almost two million dollars. These deposits, representing savings in the main, were made despite the fact that Marion county subscribed vast amounts to the Liberty loans and bought large quantities of Thrift stamps. What is true of Marlou county is true of the other counties. “These added. deposits Increase the business strength of the community. It was the savings habit, embodied in the War Savings stamp idea, that produced the Increase, and we expect to hammer this Idea home all over the state.” Mr. Springsteen called attention to the record of Jackson county, as described in the Columbus, Ind., Ledger. The Ledger, editorially, said In a recent Issue: „ “The thrift that enabled the country to buy the stamps and bonds Is now going ahead to keep the country on a stable business basis. People of the United States did not content themselves with buying the billions in government securities. ~They added to their bank deposits as well, with the result that now, after two years of war conditions, the country has more money on deposit In banks than ever before. This Is true of the nation, the state and Bartholomew county. “Jackson county, our neighbor on the south, Is a good example. With 125 War Savings societies busy putting over government securities In the amount of some four million dollars, the county increased Its savings bank deposits from approximately $1,800,000 at the beginning of the war, to some $3,300,000 at present. These added savings will MAKE BUSINESS for Jackson county.”

WISE SPENDING THRIFT PLAN.

Charles F. Coffin, the insurance man, and president of the Indianapolis chamber of commerce says: “Thrift means wise spending, as contrasted with hoarding. Thrift means the avoidance of waste; it means intelligent savings and safe Investment. That is why the business world welcomes the national, state and local campaigns for the promotion of thrift with the W. S. 8. used to form object lessons. “Every alert business man agrees that thrifty communities afford him his best market. Every advertising man asks for no better audience than people who, having money in hand or possessing good credit, spend thoughtfully. Merchants nowadays work with a view not only to today’s sales, but to the sales of tomorrow, next week and next year. The day when the merchant was glad to take away from a family its entire pay envelope on pay day is past, because the merchant wants business every day Instead of only on pay days. “Business men expect to find a sound reaction on their sales campaigns, in the government’s savings campaign. This reaction should be thoroughly wholesome. They may be counted upon therefore, to do all they can to assist agencies worklng'wlth the government tor the promotion of thrift.’’ •. - -
