And when Mr. Ilaya realgna. who shall

ien who oomea to mind Is Senator Nejv
of Indiana, II could have had a cab

Ireaidenr Harding thinks, a great deal

pick him at once for poetmaater gen

On the, other hand. Mr. Harding la not
at all anxious to make It easier for for

from Indiana to tha national capita. So,
In more waya than one. the president

to lose Will Ha a, but if he shifted the
cabinet It would mean training men In
two poult ions instead of or.e. If the
plana for reorganisation of the govern
ent. which are being worked out by
Walter F. Brown of Ohio, were com
pleted It might be that Mr. Harding
would shift Secretary Den by to the post
office department from the navy and put
Veeretary Weeks In charge of the new

would nave jurisdiction over bout the

THRIFT, some one has said, is
amply a matter .of spending
less-than you earn. In other
words, managing money efficiently
to get the most out of it
It require only system and determination
to accumulate capital for future opportu
mtiei TT emergencies. And if you were
tmon i the more than 7000 people who re
cently opened Savings Accounts at the
United States National, youVe made the
start.
Keep at it. Deposit something each pay
