For I have no pleasure In' the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord Gpd - wherefore turn yourself aud live ye—Ezekial 18:31. 32. Dear Folks: The more we have, the more we want of goods upon this earth. The more we S have of laughter too, the more we want of mirth. The more we haye of happi ness and all the joy it brings, the more we want some more of it and ether pleas ant things. It seems we're never satisfied with what we have on hand, the more we have the more we want right under our command. This fact is true in little things as well as In the great. It seems to be a trait in us that's handed down by fate. The more we earn the more our wants are always multipled. and hard it is for us to keep our wishes satisfied. We'd like a cur that's better than the one we drive today, we’d like more time, for resting and more time for fun and piay. We’d like a better place to live no mat ter where we are. Our wants are al ways rising up, they never stay at par. We're wanting this and wanting that, our lives \yith wants are tilled. The cry for more within our hearts is never bushed nor stilled. But after ail is said and done, our wants are realy few, compared with all there is in life that comes within our view. And progress comes from, want ing things, it keeps us plugging on. when wants we had are satisfied and over with aud gone. Cordially yours—T. V. It. THE COST OF THE WAR. So stupendous was the World War that various authorities are still at work, six years after the armistice, trying to get some estimate of the cost of the conflict in money and men, and even now we have only “approximate” figures-. The Charlotte Observer quotes some very in teresting data from Public Relations, published by Ivey L. Lee ft Associates, es New York, this publication diseussing the recent report made by the London Morning Post as to the cost of the war. The Post carries tables bf all kind giving details es the war and its cost, but it warns that although it has made exten sive search and has had many experts on the work, “it is impossible to guarantee that the figures are meticulously correct to the last digit.” Preliminary researches, it says, resulted in collection of several ■roups of figures for certain countries which on analysis did not agree. Fi natty, the figures collected are those pub lished by Carnegie Endowment for In ternational Peace .were selected, aDd from these statistics the tables were prepared. I The sum of one billion pounds has been subtracted from tbe cost of the war to the tT*ited Btates, as Great Britain is now repaying this sum, representing the. principal and interest of the Amer ican loan to Great Britain during the W The advances to other Allies by Great rZu a L fe?ZuThalf£tiJn ' a life is estimated at 828 pounds. The British estimate for tbe United States is 944 pounds; for France 680 pounds and for Russia 404 pounds. The exjfiauation is made that if a capital value can be assigned to human beings at a i, this val ue today would be greatly above that of before the war. owing, in the first place, to the scarcity of men, and, secondly, to the depreciation of the money in which the value, is estimated. The toll of the war in known dead and “presumed dead,” reveals the heaviest loss on Russia, though that country has lowest value. The loss in human life dis closes these figures: For England, 938,- 904: United States, 109,740; France, 1,- 664,550; Rusala, 4,0ft,064; Belgium. 2711,000; Italy 1,180,660; Serbia 757,343; Rumania ’ 391,117; Greece, 81.500; Por tugal 4,100;. Japan 301. WHAT IS THRIFT? What is thrift? This is a pertinent question in view of the forthcoming an nual observance of Thrift Week begin ning with the anniversary of Benjamin Franklin’s birthday on January 17th. “Care and prudence in the manage ment of one’s resources,” is the answer given bj .one of the standard dictionaries. Recourses consist hot only of materiel possessions, but also of those personal abilities which are exercises to obtain them. A man can become thrifty before he has saved a single dollar or put it to work. He becomes thrifty when he has transformed into habit the practice of utilizing his resources in such ways as his best judgment directs him. The spendthrift can become thrifty before he has succeeded in paying off all the debts of his former extravagance. Thrift is an inclusive word. It ap plies equally well to matters of the mind and of morals as to material things, but the man who practices thrift in any de tail qr department of his life soon dis covers that is a contagious virtue. It finds its way into other of his activities, bringing order and purpose and clear vision—and many benefits. Thrift may also be defined as efficien cy, for certainly a thrifty man is an ef ficient man. When we give order and energy to our own pursuits, we contrib ute intelligence and vitality to the whole structure in which we move. This reacts beneficially upon ourselves because it broadens and fortifies our opportunities. Thrift is as truly a basis of national and international strength as it is of in dividual strength. Great resources- must be developed and administered wisely if a nation's greatness depends, therefore, up on the practice of thrift by its citizens. Lies We Have Heard— Monroe Enquirer. Below cost.

There were other columns de scriptive of the gold-braid and -tin sel .decorations dolling up the rep resentatives of the diplomatic corps, and the cocked hats and epaulettes of our own navy officers. But the real he&rt'-ioterest story of the occasion was tucked away on an inside page, as though printed grudgingly, for fear its telling would jar the sensibilities of'the official social set which did not have to stand long in line be fore getting its chance to shake the presidential hand. • • • BUT while officialdom was be ing received, Samuel D.

Little Excavation Done, as Natives Ap parently Have No Use for GoM or Money. Ghosts there may not be, but buried treasure is very much of a reality on , Sable Island (known ax’* the most dan , geroux island in the Atlantic, a bleak , stretch of sand. 180 miles east of Hall . fax.

In addi tion to loot burk'd by old-time pirates f rieli treasures must at various times have , been cast upon these treacherous bars I and beaches. Every little while ancient . coins are exposed by the shifting sands. Even while I was there East Light Keep , er Grcgorie's little daughter picked up a , big Spanish coin of the long ago, sand polished like new.

What I hate Is staying cooped up there between times.” “What did the lady want who just telephoned?” inquired the hardware dealt er of his new inexperienced clerk. “Rhe wanted a stove-lifter, sir.” re plied the young man, “and I told her there was no one here that was strong enough.” An Extra [’lambi,t.
