It combines the practical and ideal and should have the earn est attention and full co-operation of every thinking person. Sharing with oth­ ers, one of the card inal principles of thrift as j program med by the Y. M. C A., the Oregon Bank ers' association and Robert Tucker the other fine organ­ izations affiliated with the movement, features the thought that it is more blessed to give than to receive. Then there are other phuses worthy of adaption, such as careful saving of funds; maintaining a home budget making housekeeping more business ' like; prompt payment of bills; keep ing in force life insurance; owning a home and making safe and conserva tive investments.
