THE HARK OF THRIFT One does not have to hark many months to recall the period when industrial workers were pointed out as the best customers of the stores that, dealt in silk shirts ; rid other articles of apparel that were oiue icgarded as among tha luxuries. There io no consolation to persons out of employment in telling them that they shouli rave saved part of their money when they wore earning the highest wages in the history of American Industry, yet that is exactly what should have been done. Thousands of persons permitted themselves to be deceived by the Industrial activity which prevailed dur'ng and immediately after the world war. But the M-called "rainy day" arrived in spite of tha optimism, or perhaps indifference, of a large number cf workers, ami they find that they are poorly prepared to stand (he effects of industrial depression. A few dollars paved v hen employment was at high tide would enable ilicse persons to maintain themselves now in reasonable comfort. It is too late now to provide against the present financial emergency, but is there not reason to believe that other emergencies will arise in the future, just as tiicy have ia the past? The practice of thrift is ccrui.,endabie at all times. ft becomes a principal with the s iccessful man, and in the case olj wage earners especially it provides a safeguard against the day when emu'oyment may not be so remunerative, or. as in the case of. many thousands at present, It ceases entirely.

MORE BUSHELS PER ACRE Fewer acres -bigger crops. That was the double locoid established by torn pnnvrrs of America in J0"u. 'I ho crop was S,:M2.;:i; 7 ,0ti bushels, and the average per acre 'Jn.f) bushels. It it not of the great bulk of the crop that America i, red be the prouder, but c f the fact that our farmers are learning, ia this largest of their crops, ihc. value id" a. little more in! ensue fucniipg. Vermont leadu the country with the highest averise. :7 btii-hels to the acre It is curious (hat New

The land can be. made for more prcTlu'tlve oor i ide areas I ban ever it hat? been. The American farmer is not losing si'.;ht of the possibilities of intensive agrieulturc. PUPS AND THE KIDS An educator says that up to the age oT four or five years children are just like puppies. Spank tuem'to make them miud. Don't reason with them, for they don't know what jou are driving at. he advises. Hoing an, educator, be ought to know, but one mother says that she's not so sure he's right. The ether day the family dog snapped and jumped at a man walking on the sidewalk in front of the house. So she called him und gave him ;t good whipping, and said, "Tommy, get right in your kennel and stay." And Tcirany, being an unreasoning dog, slunk in. Xot long after that she had to punish little four year old T.obby. "Now Hobby j ou go right upstairs to bed and stay there until I call you. But Bobby did not want to gn. Vie much preferred to stay downstairs nd play and have a good time. And he didn't hesitate to try all his charms to get mother to change her mind. Now maybe it wasn't reason that told Bobby he could get mother to let him off by a few hugs and kisss: maybe it was just instinct. But, being a mother, she says she knows it was reason, and she's glad her boy doesn't obey like an unreasoning puppy.

BURYING THE DEVIL It is curHms that the spring carnival custom a relic of pagan days, has fastened itself firmly. in America in only one place---Louisiana. The Mardi Gras celebration, which is held annually in New Orleans in February, is famous the country over. But it is not very generally copied. Mardi Gras marks, of course, the ending of worldly pleasures for a time, and Ash Wednesday, the next day. Is the beginning cf Lent. Qirnival. the very word in fact, signifies a farewell to the floFh. The time of austlnenee is upon us. And the chances are a little reiC-denial wouldn't hurt a good many folk who don't Intend to practice it from Ash Wednesday until Easter. In F-urcpe the Mardi Gras cclcgration is a joyous .nd comic ones In Madrid, for instance, it is the occasion for the annual burial of the sardine. This plsifuorial dainty is laid In a paper 'ofTia ani paraded j. hour, the tt refits. Crowds throng the banks' of the Manzanares river, and when the poor little sardine is buried, the world, the flesh and the devil are supposed to be buried with blni. rw the world, the flesh and the devil come to life ;gain when Bent is passed. They won't stay pertnan-

THE RACE FOR THE SEAS The United States cau place, upon the seas, if it desires, the largest fleet of merchant vessels of any of the nation?. There was sent forth front cur shipyards b.st year 2. 470. 000 tons of shipping, 400, oao more than was launched by Great Britain, second nation. But -while there is ro doubt of our ability to obtain ships, cur ability to use them properly is another Miestion. However, the Yankee energy and resourcefulness that enabled us to acquire a large merchant fleet in so short a. time may be depended upon eventually to overcome tins obstacle also. American ships are

now a factor to be reckoned with in the world's ocean !

4 tSP Builds Railroads

MANY New York Central stockholders own only one or two shares a savings nest-egg. But the holder of a few shares of stock has the same satisfaction as the larger investor of taking part in the development of an important public service while providing an income for himself. In his classic study of "Lombard Street," Walter Bagehot, the brilliant English economist, asserted that a citiren of London of Queen Elizabeth's time would have thought it no use inventing railways because he would have been unable to conceive the possibility of collecting the vast sums of capital needed for their construction. Even Bagehot, writing only fifty years ago, probably would have been amazed by the thought of attracting the capital needed for the building and development of a thirteen-thousand-milc railroad system like the New York Central. Nowief ring a century of public service, the New York Central Lines represent a property investment of $1,720,000,000. Against this investment stocks and bonds have been issued to the amount of $1,543,000,000 that is, the actual value of the property is greatly in excess of the outstanding securities. Scattered throughout the United States and in. many foreign countries are more than 120,000 individual investors and institutions who have become partners in this great enterprise. The number of owners of the stock of the New York Central Railroad Company, the parent company of the system, has increased by forty per cent in the past four years. The growth of railroad facilities, to keep pace with the ever-increasing demands of American industry, depends upon a continuance of this public faith in railroads as investments, which is so strikingly shown by the widespread ownership of New York Central securities.
