Benjamin, Franklin The anniversary of Benjamin Franklin's birthday next Saturday will be signallized by the beginning of a Thrift Week, in which particular attention will be called to the advantages of savings and of safe investing. The war credits converted the American people into a nation of investors. Many, however, instead of retaining their government securities, sacrificed them for luxuries or sold them at a discount to use the money for present needs. We are far from being a nation of savers. Comparatively few of our citizens shape their lives so that old age finds them with a competence made during the years when they could save for the purpose of investing. The forthcoming week is designed to call forcible attention to this phase, of our national life and of the prosperity and individual welfare that is closely associated with saving. Benjamin Franklin was the first great apostle

of thrift in the United States. At the very founding of our republic he was telling. Americans that national prosperity depended primarily upon individual thrift. This part of his great contributions to the American nation will be discussed fully in the next days. J .... If some of us believe that Franklin was onesided in the emphasis he placed on thrift, it might be well to remember that he was a sound philosopher on other topics, too. Franklin "kept books on himself". This means that he set before himself precepts and principles which he followed. If he transgressed them, he put a black mark on the debit side of his moral ledger. He tried to lead a clean life. Here are some of the principles which he espoused: Resolution Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.

FrugalityMake no expense but to do good to others or yourself; waste nothing. j Industry Lose no time; be always employed in something useful ; cut off all unnecessary) actions. I

Sincerity Use no hurtful deceit ; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly. Justice Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty. Moderation Forbear resenting injuries as much as you think they deserve ; avoid extremes. Tranquility Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable. Humility Imitate Jesus and Socrates.

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK

it

FOR HE -HAD OREAT ' POSSESSIONS" '

There Is no more Inspiring character In history than that of Jesus. The manner of His birth, the way He worked, and the things He said tho all are a matter of two thousand years each day become more imperishable. ... It is entirely natural that the most eminent and distinguished men of His day were sincerely attracted to Him. I One day a rery accomplished young man came to talk with Him. This man was aristocratic, of fine birth, and with an education that was the product of the best schools of that time. Jesus was very much taken with this young man and talked with him for a long time. It must hare been a most interesting meeting. And Jesus, who was a wonderful Judge of men, was immediately at tracted to the splendid qualities that stood out so prominently as the Interview went on. But it wasn't a one-sided liking. 'The young man liked Jesus very much so much bo that he Impulsively and enthusiastically declared: "I want to become your pupil! I want to help you in your great work of helping people." It was here that the penetrating mind of Jesus sought to make his friend truly great, so He said: "All right, sell all that you have and come and work with me." At these words, however, the young man who was a rich young ruler became very sad and went away, "for he had great possessions." It is an undying law of life that he who would have most must give away all that he has. Jesus left nothing at His death but all that He was! -

Good Evening BY ROY K. MOULTON

PILGRIM'S PROGRESS IN SOCIETY IV. It would be fair to warn the beginner to refrain from any discussion of automobiles in $5.000-a-year society, such as is affected by Luella and myself. Now the fact is that Luella and I own and operate an automobile, though how we do it we have wondered. The fact is that Luella and I both have incomes aside from our $5,000 a year, I from my writings, which often bring me in as high as $300 a year, and Luella from an old estate, somewhere in Virginia, which includes a cranberry swamp. Some of the other members of our set own automobiles, but many do not. Each faction envies the other. There is a great middle class in our set. These people own automobiles

and yet they do not. If we may be permitted a Samuel Johnson paradox. For Instance, Mr. Jerome Bellincourt Smith usually opens the evening's festivities by stating that they had to come to the party in the trolley because their car is being repaired. That car seems to be a friend for surgical operations. It has had everything taken out of it except its reputation. Nobody has ever seen the car, but it is one of the best advertised cars in our set. It is always mentioned early in the evening in a loud tone of voice. The fact isMr. Hedry (Ap pleton Frisby tells me, Mr. Smith's car exists only in his mind, but I pass this information on for what it is worth. Mr. Frisby is by way of being catty tomcatty, if I may use the expression. The trouble with the Mr. and Mrs. Anson Stuyesant Purdy's automobile is that the children are always using it. The Purdy children are motoring fiends, and they are always using the car when their parents want to come

to our functions. No matter if it is midnight and raining cats and dogs, the "children have the car out." Luella has often Bald she should think the Purdys would worry about having their children skilhooting around in the car at all times of night, but Luella is a trusting soul. I always say if it doesn't worry the Purdys it shouldn't worry us. Mr. Wilton Cholmondeley Brown always says that he expected to bring his car, but his business partner had borrowed it to go to Red Bank, N. J., to see a dying relative. So beginners in our set are on thin ice when they mention motoring. It has caused many to become so submerged that they have drifted off down stream under the ice and have never been heard of again. (To be continued.) SHIP NEWS S. S. Onionitanla arrived at quarantine this morning from Europe. The passenger list was as follows: 247 writers returning from Russia

to tell us the truth about the Soviet government. 112 occult mediums from India with new snake dances, crystal globes and tambourines. 76 eminent European financiers looking for American loans to save the world. 1,346 actors, actorines and actorettes. Jugglers and ventriloquists come to elevate vaudeville and the legitimate stage. 367 original members of thexczar's Imperial court ballet.

19 famous English novelists, 27 poets and 68 playwrites. A couple of regular Americans who had to go aboard on business and arc glad to get back. "To effectively prohibit" is the language of the Supreme Court decision. Apparently willing to let the country split its lnfilnitlves, if not its bottles of beer. All bottles are non-refillable now.

It was the hope of the committee in Charge of the annual Y. M. C. A banquet to get overnor Stubbs, of Kansas, to speak. ' Announcement of the marriage of Charles Haughton, son of Mrs. Elizabeth Haughton, of this city, to Miss Rose Jenney, of Oberlln, Ohio, was announced.

We have a neighbor whom we knew to be greatly devoted to her own family, but until we had our first California thunderstorm, writes a friend, we did not know that she was entirely

lacking in a proper sense of humor. I heard her calling in the midst of the storm and opened my window. "Is Mr. Hunter at home?" she said excitedly. "I had a dreadful 6hock when I took down the receiver, and I want him to come over and put it back on the hook." "Isn't Mr. Roberts at home?" I suggested. k "Oh, yes. He is in the garage with the boys, but you know I think it Is very dangerous to handle the thing, so I don't want to call them." "Say, pa, I had a fight with Jimmy Green today." "Did you whip him?" "Gee, pa, ain't I tellin you about it?"

OU know these trade names. Your

father and grandfather knew three of them. They knew in their time, and you know today that these names stand for the highest quality farm machinery

in the world. McCormick built the first practical reaper, Deering sold the first twine binder and was a good-twine pioneer, and William Parlin was one of the first steel plow pioneers. The lines of harvesting machines and plows started by these farm ma

chine builders have been growing and developing ever since. Other machines have been invented and developed by the same manufacturers, and every new machine and implement has had built into it the years of manufacturing experience and farm knowledge accumulated by McCormick, Deering, Parlin and their successors. Now all of these machines and implements have been merged into one line the International Harvester. The reputation of every machine and implement in this line is the same.
