RETURN THAT ROOK!
A gentleman with a trace of sadism in his make-up suggests
that one day a year should be observed in the literary world
by' the return of borrowed books. He believes that more
wandering books would find their way home if there were
a publicly recognized time for sending them back.
Scrutinizing the scheme with an unfavorable eye, a liter
ary critic believes that it would for the off days of the year
simply give borrowers an excuse for not tying up their par
cels. He objects, also, to saddling any day with a perpetual
nun.
No plan which might tend to limit book lending would have
his approval, for most books, he says, are too little read. He
hazards a guess that half the pages to which print is applied
are never read. His lack of enthusiasm, may bo better ex
plained by his statement that if all of his own books were
returned he would have no room for them on his shelves.
While this plan may hnve its merits, the percentage of

distinction between keeping money belonging to another and
keeping another's book. Perhaps another commandment or
a new amendment covering the situation would help eliminate t
this social, or rather unsocial, evil.
BLESSED RE DRUDGERY i
It is hard to believe. So many of those whose work is some
form of drudgery complain about it, instead of being thank
ful about it, that the notion that drudgery is something to be
escaped from if possible has become widely diffused.
' Men conimonely yearn to become rich not because they j
may use their riches as a means of serving their fellows but
because by means of riches they may be relieved of the ;
necessity of work. . j
Even tho Scriptures themselves seem to trout work iis.an
evil. In the so-called Mosaic account of creation, it is the.
penalty that the Lord Imposes upon the rutin and woman in !
the garden for their disobedience.
In spite of all this in spite of the seeming opinion of the
author of Genesis that the ideal stale is one of idleness, in ;
which bread may be eaten otherwise thnn in the sweat of
one's brow, it is because we have to go, and go, morning
after morning, through rain and through shine, to the ap-
pointed spot and do the appointed work; because, and only ;
because, we have to slick to that work through the eight or
ten hours, long after rest would be so sweet; because the
schoolboy's lesson must be leu rued at !) o'clock and learned
without a slip; because the accounts on tho ledger must
square to a cent; because the goods must tally exactly with
the invoice; because gootl temper must be kept with children,
with customers, with neighbors; -in sort, without much mat
ter what our work be, whether this or that, it is because, and
only because of the rut, plod, grind, humdrum in the work
that we at last get those necessary self-foundations laid
namely, attention, promptness, accuracy, firmness, patience,
self-denial and all the rest.
The whole make-up of the human being shows, as some
body has aptly said, that we are intended for activity. Heboid
tho millions of nerves, and the thousands of muscles, in the
body !
Work, work, work! I'roduee, produce, produce'. This was
tho cry of Thomas Carlyle, and Curlylo was but echoing the
mandate, of tho natural law. Nature is not slow to punish
the shirkers. Those who live by their wits; those who de
spise labor (and the laborer) ; those who undertake to over
work the workers in order to be able to live in the greater
luxury without any work these are the men whom Nature
delights to dishonor. They may build themselves king's
houses and surround themselves retinues of servants, 1ml
they cannot deceive. HKR, ami unless they come to her
obediently and consent to do the allotted task, their diseased
bodies and their unoccupied minds obtain a frightful revenge
upon them at last.

IU'iijamin Franklin . . . statesman, philosopher, sage counsellor of Thrift! During Thrift Week

cne or two of the maxims he left to jruide the destiny of generations to come . . . brilliantly
worded creations of his master mind that Time will never reletjale to a forgotten past.
Of the many accredited to him on the subject of Kconomy, probably none is more lo the point
lhan his simple quotation . . . "Save and Have!" Three little words but they speak a volume of
Truthful Advice! It is not what you earn . . . what financial remuneration Hie world pays you
for your labor and skill . . . that counts. It's what you SAVE . . . how much of the fruit of
your efforts yuu reserve for the future . . . that brings you the blessings of Success and Ilappi
ness! . ,
A substantial accumulation of money gives you the confidence and courage to forge ahead
lo your aims in Life ... to realize your fondest ambitions! With il, you don't have to wait for
Opportunity lo knock . . . you have the power to MAKE your own Opportunity! And, best of
all, its the inateriid that builds for a happy, contented old age . . . free of all worries!
So during National Thrift Week . . . a movement in keeping with
Franklin's teachings, we urge you to visit our hank anil open a Savings
