Webster's dictionary tells us
that thrift means "a thriving
condition; prosperity; success;
Rood fortune" It also means
"irood husbandry;' economical
management; frugality. "Instant
ly one can see that those qualities
are capable of application to the
indivinual, business or communi
ty problems.

AN OPTIMIST'S PRAYER
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray , 0 Lord, that you may
keep
My constitution free from dile
So I may wake up with a smile.
That pleasantly I may proceed
To spread the happy, hopeful
creed
That whatsoever may betide
Haa somewhere got its brighter
aide
That worry never did pi event
The coming of some fell event;
Or. if by chance, we miss the
pain,
We've had the worry all in vuin.
Endow me, therefore, with the
grace
To ever wear a smiling fact;
And if mis fortune comes along,
0, let me meet it with a song.
Let not Suspicion's poison find
A breeding place within my
mind,
To make wonder if old friends
Are meiely serving selfish ends,
If I, unjuHly am abused,
Or other wise denied my dues.
Or made the butt of falsehoods
vile,
Still let me "carry on" and smile.
If in return for good deeds done,
Ingratitude is all I've won.
Let me not harbor bitterness,
But keep on doing none less.
To keep me human, now and
tnen.
Please let me fin like other men,
So I may not presume to pass
In judgement on some fellow ass.
I'd hate it but I shall not wHn.e,
If time enlarges much the line
That marks my waist;and though
I care,
I shall not mourn the loss of hair
My teeth, tis true, I grtatlt
prize,
And, most of all, of course, my
eves;
But one thing more I'd keep -this
then:
My sense of humor, Lord, Amen.
THE DIFFERENCE
'Twixt optimist and pessimist
The difference is droll;
The former sees the doughnut
And the latter sees the hole.
COURT PROCEDURE.
Authorities on jurisprudence,
great assemblies of the legal fra
ternity, publicists in genersl and
the great man of the public are
anre"d that court proceedure
should be reformed in the inter
est of justice and publie safety.
But the reform does not come.
Lwayers inthe courtroom are
prone to asume a position tht
very opposite of that taken ir
the state association or on tht
public plat form.
In the, free air of public discuf-
on, a'l are for reform, but in
the murky atmosphere of tht
courtroom, dilatory mot ion?, end
less red tape, disagreeable condi
tions of jury STvi:?, all combin
ing to block Jhe free action ol
justice are exalted as essential
elemsnts of judicial proceedure,
THRIFT
Pay rolls form the foundation
of community growth, and indus
tries are established and pay
rolls created oy the investment
of money,- funds saved by the
people of a community who have'
appreciated the value of thrift.
The pactice of thrift is the foun
dation stone of success of the in
dividual, the family, the corpora
tion or the community.
BIBLE READING
THE WEEK
FOR
Vice President Daws isTestrain
ed by the prohibitions of his of
fice from saying anything about
the advisability of a reform of
a reform of the Senate rules but
the batta ion of aVath is doing his
work for him,
A supermajotity of the Senate
is ready to vote adhesisn to the
World Court. Not so the bull
headed an fanatical minority. We
have therefore the unedifying
spectacle of national legislation
held at a standstill while Senator
Cole Blease of South Carolina
reads hour on hour from the
musty pages of his campaign
speeches of yester year, not in
the hope of changing the vote but
with the purpose of preventing
a vote and only yielding the floor
in order that another member of
the battalion may take up the
chain of obstruction and read on
from the writings of Washington
and Jefferson, Paine and Lincoln
and if need be the Encyclopedia
Brittanica.
AMERICAN LECION
R03EBURG. Ore. Jan. 20.
Special "Though our goal is a
13,000 membership for the Amer
ican Lgion in Oregon in 192G, I
would rather see 5,000 members
in our state for what th'y can
give than 20,000 members in the
American Legion for what they
can get!
With this ringing assertion,
striking tne key note of Ameri
can Legion ideals. Dr. E. B.
Stewart of this city, departmant
commander of the American Le
gion, this week set in motion-a
membership campaign which will
contnue with gathering momen
tum up to March 1. The present
of the Legion in Oregon is 9.200
and in fixing the 1926 mark at
12.000. Commander Stewart has
set a goal which it is not impossi
ble to reach.
Pre campaign reports reaching
department headquartershave in
iicated an increased interest in
the Legion this year with rapid
payment cf 1926 dues ond the en
rolment of many new members
before the drive started.
