HI? Monty, Spending Nothing.
A modern Mldu of Ohlsago, who
had accumulated >SfO.OOO by nrror
spending anything, recently was de
clared incapable of handling his af
fair*. Hi became tneapafcls not be
cause ho smsssod $300,000 but because
of Cho way ho accumulated it. He ee
1 ?igml fcfts fosntty. vent to bod wt
tbo ehlckens to avoid ?pending money
co lights and h red on $86 a year.
Then ho re* afoul oI tfco pus s ling In
come tax law and now his children are
to handle his beloved savings. This
modem Midas was not a thrifty m?
Ho was a miser. Trne thrift enhances
and to or east? the wealth ot the world.
Hoarding money benefits neither Cho
miasr nor his fellow?. Wloe spending
1? as ssseattal as wlo? earing, and
win? Investment is as Important as
either; wise spending for the ountfryts
and pleasure? of hie as well as the
necessities makes for the thriftiest
Itte and etlmulates production. W1
tawsstmsnt makes poasitols the am
tion erf new wealth.
The mteer sares bat spends noth
ing. He secureo only the meager sat
isfaction of watching his pile of money
grow. The wise exponent oC thrift
and sound investment has the ootn
tarta and pleasures of Ufa and saves
at the same time. The foolish man ,
spends hia money for what he neither .
needs nor really wants; does not at- j
tain the comforts and lasting plea#- i
urfs of life and saves nothing.
If the modern miser of Chicago bad ;
s^int wisely he would have had years {
of v-omfort and happinees Instead of
yetn s of squalor and want. If he had \
saved wisely he would have had the |
love and respect of hi? family and as
sociates. If he had invested wisely ;
ho would have boon competent to han
dle his own affairs. *
"Waste not?want ?of Is still the
modern axiom of thrift but ^ant not"
must not be interpreted to mean not
wanting the things that make life
worth the Hying. Don't be a modern
Midas.

The War Loan Organization of the
Fifth Federal Reserve District at Rich

of a course of thrift for elementary
soUrxvia. It is designed especially to
meot the needs of teacher?? beginning
with chapters for the smallest young
sters and continuing to those for pu

of thrift.
The summary of tfre alms of the

of the outline
1. To give the child a broad under
standing of the specific facts and
underlying principles of Chrlft.
2. To train the child In the habits
of conservation and the wise use of
all his resources.
3. To create through the schools a
public sentiment in favor of thrift and

habit of thrift
