horses to digestive troubles on the
pastures rather than to attempt to
carry them in the barns.
The feet of the work animals
should be examined frequently during
the summer, in order that accumula
tions of dirt may be removed. A few
moments devoted to scraping out the
hoofs each morning and evening will
add to the comfort of the beasts, as
often such foreign materials as nails
or stones lodge in the wall or sole of
the foot or are collected In the clefts
of the frog or between the bars and
the frog. If the hoofs are excessive
ly dry or brittle, they should be
softened with some good oil or hoof
ointment, and if they are ragged or
tend to split, they should be rasped
on the edges and trimmed until
smooth.
It is advisable to clip horses when
the weather warms up in the spring
and heavy work begins. When clip
ped, they work much better, and they
do not become chilled after work from
having thoroughly soaked the heavy
coat of winter hair with perspiration.
Horses that are clipped as soon as
heavy spring work begins should be
blanketed at night.

I have bought a grand piano and
a sumptuous sedan, and a lot of
other doodads, on the monthly
payment plan. On each thing I
paid a dollar, and 1’11 pay a month
ly bone, till I'm laid away and
sleeping underneath a sagging
stone. It is true I didn't need
them, and I haven't coin to burn,
but I see my neighbors blowing
every kopeck that they earn, and
if they can have pianos and fine
motors and such stuff, I will go as
far as they do, though it makes the
sledding tough. Every month I ll
pay a dollar on the junk I do not
need, till I limp around on
crutches and my whiskers go to
seed; and when I have crossed the
river to the shining golden shore,
I will still be owing money to the
Jinx installment store. And 1 fear
the recollection will destroy my
peace of mind, when I have a harp
before me and a pair of wings be
hind. But my neighbors, they keep
blowing every rouble, every red,
and I'd be a sort of piker if I let
them get ahead; so I’m buying cir
cus wagons, and I’m buying costly
gems, and my wife is wearing
sables and has diamond diadems,
and I bought the whole caboodle
on the monthly payment plan, and
I'm riding to the poorhouse in a
super-eight sedan. —Copyright,

HABIT
"Ben Franklin is our great exampl 2
of thrift. He wrote more on it and
wrote It better than any other man we
know. He began practicing thrift when
he was 12 years of age, and he prac
ticed it and wrote on it all his life.
He became the richest man in Amer-
lea in his day, richest not only in
money but in health, brains, sanity,
good cheer. influence. He was a scien-
flat, a business man, a linguist, a diplo
mat and a philosopher. He always
paid his way. He founded the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania, founded the first
public library in America, organized an
insurance company, pretty nearly cap
tured the lightnings, invented spec
tacles, manufactu. ed the first cook
stove, went to France and borrowed
money on which Washington fought
the War of the Revolution and the
basis of all the strength and excellence
of Benjamin Franklin lay in the fact
that very early in life he acquired the
habit of thrift.
"Thrift is a habit. A habit is a
thing you do unconsciously or auto
matically without thought. We are
ruled by our habits. When habits are
young they are like lion cubs, soft,
fluffy funny frolicson little animals.
They grow day by day. Eventually
they rule you. Choose ye this day the
habit ye would have rule over you.
The habit of thrift is simpl; the habit
which dictates that you shall earn
more than you spend. In other words,
thrift is the habit that provides that
you spend less than you earn. Take
your choice.”—Elbert Hubbard. Start

Startling Figures.
8t. Louis, Mo—There are 27,000,000
savings bank depositors in the United
States, according to figures published
at the convention of the American
Bankers' Association here. In com
piling these figures d te allowance was
made for duplications. Investigation
by the bankers has proved that these
savings bank depositors are, with
few exceptions, people of small means,
but they are the people who absorbed
in large measure the war issues of
government securities, Thrift and |
War Savings Stamps, Savings Certifi
cates and Liberty Bonds AND ARE
KEEPING THEM.
Not only did they buy and hold gov
ernment securities, but those invest-
ments led to additional savings, con-
solldated the habit of thrift and in
creased bank deposits throughout the
entire nation. These 27,000,000 depos-
itors now own $10,573,971,000 of sav
ings.
This is the money which has built
up the railroads, municipalities homes
and industries of the nation. These
savings represent over twenty six per
cent of the total resources. These
savers financed the war successfully,
and on their continuation of the pro
duction of new capital through sav
ings rests the solution for financing
reconstruction and for the increase
of production necessary to check the
high cost of living, bankers agreed.
The government savings securities
and Liberty Bonds offer ideal means
for the production of this new capital
in the opinion of progressive bankers.
They are adapted for investment of
all sums'no matter how great or small.
They are the safest security possible.
They are profitable and readily con
vertible Into cash should necessity
arise. Their purchase not only aids
in financing the government, but re
leases correspondin; capital from the
banks and financial institut.ons for
expansion of industry and develop
ment of production.
The figures compiled by the Bank-
ers' Association show that in the five-
year period ending January 1 of this
year, savings deposits In state banks
inci eased 59.47 per cent; in mutual
savings banks, 12.96 per cent; In I
stock savings banks, 33.04 per cent; in ,
trust companies, 24.32 per cent, and in |
national banks. 118.36 per cent.
It also was announced that there
were 35,000,000 policy holders in Lie
insurance companies in the United
States.
