LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT By 6. W. STRAUS, Prident of th American Society for Thrift.
Rochefoucauld onco said "The defects of the nUad, like thosa of the face, grow worse as we grow old." This is particularly true in the matter of thriftlessncis and its truth emphasises the importance of acquiring hablU of
a state of mind.
thrift early in life. Thrift it merely
What is one man's luxury is another man's necessity. After a man has drtvea an expensive oar for a while it comes to be regarded by him as a necessity, although when he first acquired it he considered it a great luxury. A woman gets in the habit of baying gowns from the most expensive modiste, shops in the most exclusive places, and orders the most expensive cuts of meat and the rarest selection of foods for her table. Although these newly acquired habits may seem very pronounced examples of laxury to her at first she soon gets into a state of mind where she considers tUem absolutely necessary to ber happiness. In. saving money, therefore, one must remember that a great deal depends n the state of cnlnd that is created and cultivated. First of all one must learn to 'be satisfied with such conditions as are necessary to be endured. Li rln a" in a very modest way and
denying oneself many of life's pastimes and gayeties may seem difficult at first, but the mind changes with the flight of time and we soon learn to accustom ourselves to the needs of circumstance. Children should be given lessons in thrift from the very first days of mental perception. An appreciation of the value of this virtue should bs implanted so early in life that it becomes a part of the very, blood and bone of the child, so to speak. Nothing within the power of the parent will bring more happiness into the life of the child nor mean more for its ultimate success, and the realization of the fondest parental dreams. If defects of the mind grow worse with accumulating years the reverse is equally true, and the beauties of the mind grow more charming with the passing of years. Nothing is more to be admired than a finely balanced, well-poised intellect, and the Inspiration and good that it creates are beyond the power of human computation. Nothing has a more stabilizing effect on the mind than thrift. No motive or action can go far astray from what is best and right when thrift is made the guiding principle and the basis on which all decisions are made. Like the needle of the mariner's compass pointing through sunshine and storm alike at the fixed star of the North, so the sturdy principles ef thrift remain steadfast and true through every condition and circumstance.

NO REVOLUTION, BUT
FAST EVOLUTION, IS CLAIM OF ENGLISH
' (By Associated Press) LONDON, July 29. (Correspondence of the Asociated Press). The
word "revolution." which foreign ob
servers sometimes apply to the present transitional stage of British
Industrial and political life, 1b not pop
ular here. Revolution savors of bay
onets and bloodshed, and the British people do not predict that. Reconstruction Is the current term, even though general result of what is being done and agitated for may, In the opinion of other peoples, amount to an Industrial revolution. A brief summary of the changes nnder way should show that reconstruction in Great Britain comes roughly under two heads, the official and the unofficial. The principal projects which the government is grappling with are these:
Nationalization of the two great
basic industries, coal mining and the railways. Government support for all persons out of work through war conditions.
Schemes for government bouse building for workers, and land for the
demobilized soldiers.
A colossal system of electric power
plants for manufacturing.
Increased pay for everybody in the
government service which already has
been granted to the Navy and Army,
with further increases for postal and
telegraph workers and the police
School teachers and other classes of
public servants are demanding in creases.
Short Hours; High Wages. The unofficial reconstruction calls
for higher wages and shorter working hours for all in the organized industries. These are being obtained partly by amicable negotiations between employers and workmen, but also largely through strikes and threats of strikes, of which the idleness of half a million from the cotton mills is an instance. Proceeding simultaneously with these movements and sometimes complicated with them are political agitations, which now and then reach xthe point of crises. The principal political issues are: Nationalization of mines, railways and otheressentlal industries; abandonment of the old British free- trade system for protection, (Involving the question, open to endless discussion whether British commercial prosperity has been because of free trade or handicapped by it), the position of Ireland whose present condition has come to be recognized as a millstone on the neck of the
empire; and the proposal to clear off!
the wardebt by a levy on capital. Also there is a campaign of organized labor, backed by talk of a general strike, for the immediate abolition of
conscription, withdrawal from all interference in Russian affairs, and bringing home the soldiers from Rus
sia, India and Egypt. Anti-imperialism, the democrats call thi3 propaganda.

WHO OWNS AIR? QUESTION TO BE FOUGHT IN COURT
KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 29. Whether a property owner is also owner of the air above his land is to be determined through a court action brought by Frederick Hoenemann, a farmer. He seeks to restrain a company owning airplanes from using the air above his farm. Hoenemannn contends that sight of the machines and the noise of their engines disturb the livestock. There is said to be no direct precedent to guide the court, and the case is causing wide discussion in legal circles. Some lawyers contend that freedom of the seas and freedom of the air are the same, while others assert the courts have held that ownership carries with it light and air above the property as well as the earth beneath. It is pointed out that when the steam engine came there were many law suits, the plaintiffs contending that the noise as well as the danger jeopardized their stock. The Massachusette Supreme Court, rendered the opinion that the locomotive was lawful and in keeping with progress. Attorneys say a similar condition arose when motor cars came into use, but the highest court of Indaina ruled in their favor on the grounds that the law must keep pace with progress.

Physicians Warn Against
; Use Of Wood AUohol
(By Associated Press)
MUNCIE, Ind., July 29. Warnings have been issued by local physicians and life insurance agents against drinking wood alcohol. A number of men arrested here recently have said wood alcohol caused them to be in the condition in which they were found. The use of the liquid as a beverage will cause certain and incurable blind
ness the physicians say, although it may be some months before its effect is noticed. If any considerable amount of wood alcohol is drunk it will cause death. Physicians admit they cannot understand why death did not follow
drinking enough of the poison to cause Intoxication, if the stories told by the men arrested are true.

School Purchasing Slogan
INDIANAPOLIS,. July 289.--"Made in America" haa-bxen adopted as the
slogan for purchases of equipment and
materials Used in the public schools of
Indiana. .The state.board of education and the state board of accounts have gone on record as desiring the purchases be American products whenever possible, and L. N. Hines, state superintendent. In a letter to school officials directs their attention to the
action of the board. For years, according to Mr. Hines' letter the chemical apparatus and supplies used in the schools came from Germany. Mr. Hines letter in conclusion reads in part: "Salesmen for supply houses who visit me advise me that very few teachers are placing orders for their supplies at the present time, and that they are expressing their intention of waiting unil they can get the dutyfree German ware as in former years. On the contrary, the chemists in our manufacturing institutions are unanimously committed to the use of domestic ware."
Hopperdozer Kills Many Grasshoppers In Morgan
Ten bushels of grasshoppers were captured in two hours on a farm in Morgan county by the use of a hopper-( dozer which T. C. Cravens, county agricultural agent, built in order to contiol a serious outbreak of the pests. Continued use of the device has resulted in the eradication of hundreds of thousands more of the insects. The catcher is about 15 feet long and 6 feet high. The upright part is covered by bright tin. At the bottom of the upright section Is a trough leading into a big screened cage at the back. Two horses were used to
pull the catcher over the field after the clover had been cut, and at times
the pests were so thick in front of it that they presented the appearance of a cloud. When the cage is well filled the hoppers are killed with kerosene cr similar substance and then removed.
