MAKE THRIFT A HABIT
( Editorial)
Practice thrift habitually, make it as much a part of your
routine as eating and sleeping. Get yourself systematized.
W ork on a definite schedule. Save regular amounts Plan
your work and your actions so that you will have no lost
motion—no wasted energy.
flie-e are among tlte secrets of success, happiness and
progress.
I lie most important message that can he carried to the
people of this nation today is, "t let the thrift habit." 1'rac
tice thrift, not for a brief interval or intermittently, hnt Itahi
ually.
Disraeli said, "The greatest secret of success in life is to
|>e ready when your opportunity comes. 1 his brief sen-
tence furnishes one uf the best reasons for practicing thrift
that has ever been given. It presents a phase of the i|iicstiuit
to which not enough attention is paid. Ordinarily thrift is
looked upon as a means of safeguarding one against possilile
emergencies or of building up an accumulation of money lor
some definite purpose. Hut there are many unexpected turns
in the pathway of life. \\ ltile it is true that we never know
when trouble or disaster may befall its. we likewise cannot
fortell what great opportunity may come into our lives from
an unexpected quarter. If we read the lives of the men of our
country who have risen front poverty and obscurity to the
greatest heights of success, we find that there were certain
times in their lives when great opportunities presented them-
selves, that much of the success of these men was due to the
fact that tliev were able to take advantage of such opportuni-
ties when they came.
W hen bestiny called they were ready.
Now often.-on the other hand, have we witnessed the un-
happN spectacle of some man failing to rise to the complete
possibilities of opportunity as a result of thriftlessncss. •
Thriftless IkJuIs will undermine any character and even-
tnullv lead to ruin.

COTTONWOOD TREE
AN OLD LAND MARK

That the Indians sheltered under

tree came to be there no one knows
but now that it is passed and gom
its history will soon be forgotten.
