There is at the present time being conducted In this country a campaign which is worthy of the deepest con sideration by every man, woman and child, because upon its successful on- eration will depend our increased na tional, community and individual Dro gress. It is the movement which has been designed to bring into greater evidence and practice everywhere the inestimable quality of thrift a qual ity which has more to do with ulti mate success than any other one fac tor. Educators, economists, and, in fact, all constructive thinkers have long recognized the erowinor necessity for the practice of greater thrift on the part of American citizens if our na tional welfare is to be permanent and substantial. One only has to glance at history to realize that extrava gance, in its disastrous effects unon national welfare, may be likened to the rapidly spreading parasite vine which, wrapping itself around the mighty oak, draws upon the very life and sustenance until the grand old I I Mil I II IliU HV Millie aataMsVh. Mi; tree decays, crumbles away and finally topples over. , Without thrift, failure, dissatisfac tion and discovient are inevitable, whether in the life of the nation, cor poration, home or individual, and in dividual thrift is the foundaton upon which is established community and national thrift. TTnfore th indivdual can be ex. pected to practice thrift, however, he must understand in what it really con sists. Perhaps the foremost reason that the word thrift is a distasteful one to the ears of many of our citi zens is that for years in thia country there has been a general misconcep tion of the term.. Thrift is not, as many suppose, nig gardliness or stint in the necessities and sane, enjoyments of life ;in real ity, it makes available more monev for the things which make life really worth while through the elimination of unnecessary and useless expenditure. It is something more than saving. it means "earning, working planning and increasing, "as well as conserv ing." ft is common sense In actual operation in every iphase of human endeavor and activity, Rightly understood, the practice of inrixt oecomes a positive pleasure, for it is a wise adaptation of means toward a beneficent end the constant maintenace of a fair standard of com fort and an increase of life's entnv- j j ments and a lessened share of its burdens with the flight of years. The earning power of the neonl of the United States is very great, out their saving propensity is less fully developed than could be wished. though we are far from being a na tion of spendthrifts. No doubt, by a j proper utilization of the ODnortnni- ties of Thrift day, much valuable ed ucational work could be done, and the suggestion to set aside one day of tne year ror the purpose of showing our people how their welfare would be advanced by the practice of greater thrift and economy is one that should receive the active co-operation of all.

Conley F. L. Meyers H. E. Coolidge It is almost impolite for the gov ernors of Arizona and California ti talk about annexing part of Mexico, at this time. But that is what they are doing. Governor Hunt of Ariz ona has written Governor Johnson cf California on the subject of buying that part of the Mexican frontier around the head of the Gulf of Cali fornia. Tho idea was launched hv ir rigation interests of the Imperial val ley, and Arizona mining men. 1 Tho Colorado River, be it known, has a bad habit of bursting its banks and inundating the Surrounding land scape which in many places is lower than the river even lower than the sea. It did this down in southern California and left a rich and fertila valley, which is irrigated from the still rampageous Colorado. The point where the ditches leave the river, and the point wnere tne river must be held in leash to prevent a recurrence of the flnnH. is in Mexico. The farms ara in f!nl ifornin. Governor Hunt of ArW.rma and Governor Johnson of California want to buy up that part of Mexico containing the key to Imperial Val ley's prosperity. It remnims tn v seen whether tho deal be put through wnemor mere will be any responsi ble Mexican government with. nutw. ity to sell the stirip, which contains :,ouu squnre miles.

If there is any objection, however, sngnt, m Mexico, to the sale of land, we nope the government in Wn.l,i.- ton will put its foot down good and iiura on tne whole project. Not all the wealth in 20 Imnnrinl Voiu,,. would be worth while if it brought flistrust of Uncle Sam's in tentions, beginning to disappear in Latin America. No doubt the Imper ii vauoy would be better off with this territory under .tha star stripes. But if it is Imperial Valley versus i-an-American, we are for Pan- America.
