Never in the his tory of the nation has there been such waste of time, labor, money and materials. During the war, the people of America were told that thrift would win the war, that we should save food, clothing and money. The people responded to the drives that were made and saved, some- times till it hurt. It is evident, however, that the practice »f thrift has not been carried over. On the contrary, there has been a reaction that has now reach ed the point of danger. We therefore feel that a concerted effort should be made to check extravagance and promote thrift as a life habit. Thrift is the saving of four things- -time, talent, health and money. It needs no argument to show that those things are essential in the life of the nation. The world will not be safe and stable until there is greater con servation of these things. Our nation is facing a winter of un preparedness. Unless the prices of shoes, hats, milk, butter, eggs, potatoes, flour, fuel and other necesaries are reduced the child ren of the nation will suffer. At such a time it is alarming that people of small means should make extravagant and unneces sary purchases, and even antici pate their income by making such purchases on time. Child ren growing up under such con ditions are certain to develop false ideals and form extrava- gant habits. GILBERT county fair at Canby last Fri RECEPTION GIVEN TO day.
