Andrews Talks—
(Continued from page 1)
time and money. To others it means
saving for the purpose of hoarding.
Thrift is none of these. Noah Web-
ster defines it as “economical man-
agement, frugality, prosperity, suc-
cess." Thrift is the opposite of being
extravagant and wasteful. A great
many think of thrift only as pertain-
ing to saving or hoarding money. In
practising thrift, you not only save
money, but you save time and acquire
the habit of saving anything you
might possess, or that might be en-
trusted to your care.
Regarding thrift of time. Gladstone
says. “Relieve me when I tell you,
thrift of time will repay you in after
life, with a usury of profit beyond
your most sanguine dreams; and that
waste of it will make you dwindle
alike in intellectual and moral stat-
urq, beyond your darkest reckoning.”
Thrift is not only saving. Thrift is
mostly spending—wise spending.
Spending for life insurance. Spending
for a home. Spending for sound in-
vestments. Spending for the educa-
tion of your children. Spending for a
reserve fund which may he used later
young people of this day and time to
save, is that today’s wants and needs
seem so much more peal and necessary
than those that will come with middle
and old age. Things that used to be
considered only as luxuries are now
if misfortune or adversity should ov-
ertake you. According to Henry
Ford’s philosophy lately expressed
and discussed, thrift is only spending.
I believe he meant only wise spend-
ing.
The thing that makes it hardest for
thought of only as necessities, and
the attractions offered in this day and
time are so numerous and alluring
that it is very difficult for the young
or old to resist the temptation to en-
joy some of them.
It is within our power to make our
old age the most pleasant and con-
tented period of our lives, if we would
only pause a moment and think when
we are about to spend and consider
whether or not we are spending our
time or money wisely. The most
satisfied and contented people are
those who realize that as a result of
their earnest and conscientious effort,
us a result of their wise spending and
plans for future spending, they are
each year adding to their reserve
fund. Saving strengthens character.
Any person who saves is bound to
possess the qualities that make char-
acter.
It takes a strong will and a resolute i
purpose to be able to resist the temp* j
tations to spend foolishly. An -em-
ployer seeking help, for positions of
trust and responsibility, first finds
out an applicant’s habits, how he
spends his time and money, if it is
found that an applicant has a savings
account and is saving regularly, no
further recommendation is required.
Any successful man knows that to be
able to save in this day and time, one
is bound to possess the qualities
which make success, and if a person
is successful in his own endeavors, he
is going to work for the prosperity
and success of the man, or enter-
prise, employing him.
Many large employers, realizing the
greater value of thrifty employees ov-
er the wasteful and careless, are edu-
cating and assisting boys and girls
acquire an education, but manifest
the habits of thrift. They know they
can make good assistants out of
thrifty boys or girls, but will take no
chances on the boys and girls who
have had the opportunities afforded
by education, but do not manifest the
h:.bit of thrift.
One of the Rothschilds, years ago,
s.bid it was ten times as hard to keep
money as it was to make it, and I be-
lieve it is ten times harder today.
Statistics gathered by insurance com-
panies and others show that 84 per
ivi.t of all men who are still living
at (he age of (55 are dependent upon
others. Out of 100 men starting out
or leaching middle life, wealthy, rich,
or what might be termed in comfort-
able circumstances, only one will be
wealthy and four will have incomes
at the age of 65.
If inexperienced investors would ad-
vise with their bankers before spend-
ing for investments, millions upon
millions of dollars would bo saved
annually.
The success of any business is not
based on its volume of sales, but on
the amount of net profit, or saving,
after deducting expenses from its in-
come. The same is true of individu-
als. To say that a man hus a good in-
come does not mean that he is a suq-
cebs financially.
When a man earns only $1000 and
spanris it foolishly he does not add
anything to the capital or wealth of
tnc community in which he lives.
Who na man earns only $lu00 and
saves $100 he Is adding to the wealth
of bis community and nation, an! is
laying the foundation for the better-
ment of his financial condition and
opportunities, he is, in consequence,
a better citizen and enjoys the re-
spect and confidence of his fellow cit-
izens.
When a man spends more than ho
earns, he is a failure financially;
when he spends only as much as he
earns and just comes out even each
year, sooner or later, he will be a
failure financially. The easiest, thing
in the world is to spend money, any-
one can do that. To spend wisely Is
not so easy; it requires thought and
careful planning. To create a reserve
for future spending requires vision,
strength of character and a deter-
mination to get ahead. Spending w'ise-
ly does not mean that wre must prac-
tice self denial to the extent of doing
without essentials, but that we should
practice self control in the matter of
spending.
The wise spender saves first. IIow
much more cheerful Christmas
would be if we had the money to pay
for the things we would like to buy.
We know about how much we spend
each year; then why not put in the
bank each month enough to aggregate
the amount we wish to spend for
Christmas gifts, also the amount nec-
essary to pay our taxes and insur-
ance and for emergencies.
It should be our duty as citizens to

be thrifty; every Americau should
feel that he la doing something to-
ward the progress of the country in
which he lives, and that la just what
you are doing when you are saving
your money, buying insurance, buying
a home, or buying a good bond or a
good security. Money put in banks,
building and loan associations, or
sent to insurance companies or invest-
ed in bonds, is not hoarded or kept
idle, but is Immediately loaned to peo-
ple or institutions for the promotion
of worthy enterprises interested in
the development of th pc sources and
increasing the prosperity and wealth
of the citizens making up our town’s,
cities, country and nation.
President Coolidge has said, "it is
not too much to say that almost the
whole of what wo call civilization is
the difference between saving what
we make today for use on the morrow,
and exhausting it at the time we re-
ceive it. And whenever we find a
people with sufficient self control,
sufficient balance, sufficient thrift and
industry to save their money and in-
crease their capital, there you may be
altogether certain that civilization
will make progress.” if no one had
ever produced more than he consum-
ed. we would still be in a primitive
state.
The more we save and Invest, the
more industries there will be and the
larger they will grow. The more and
larger the industries, the more em-
ployment, the greater our savings and
investments should be. This is how
civilization has developed and pros-
pered. It, should be a great satisfac-
tion to a thrifty man to know that ho
Is conrtibuting to the development
and prosperity of the community and
the nation in which he lives.
Thrift is a habit a habit is a thing
you do unconsciously or automatically
without thought. We are ruled by our
habits. When habits are young they
are like lion cubs they grow day by
day and eventually they rule you.
Choose ye this day the habits you
would have rule over you. The 'habit
of thrift is simply thehabit that, dic-
tates that, you shall earn more than
you spend. In other words, thrift. Is
the habit that provides that you shall
spend less than you earn. If you are
a thrifty person you are happy when
you are earning more than you spend.
When you produce more than you
consume, •your life is a success, and
you are rilled with courage anima-
tion .ambition, good will; then the
world is beautiful, for the world is
your view of the world, and when you
are right with yourself, all’s well with
the world. The habit of thrift proves
your power to rule your own psychic
self. You are captain of your soul.
You are able to care for yourself, and
then out of the excess of your
strength you produce a surplus. Thus
you are not only able to take care of
yourself, but you are able to take
care of someone else of wife, child,
father and mother; to lend a hand to
sick people, old people, unfortunate
people—this is to live. The man who
cannot make a living for himself is
something less than a man.
Loving labor and thrift go hand in
hand. He who is not thrifty Is a
slave to circumstances. Fate says
“Do this or starve,” and if you have
no surplus saved up, you are (lie
plaything of chance, the pawn of cir-
cumstances, the slave of some one’s
caprice, a leaf in a storm.
The surplus gives you power to dic-
tate terms, but most of all it gives
you an inward consciousness that you
are sufficient unto yourself.
The principles governing private
life rule the State and Nation, and
we speak of them as political econo-
my, to distinguish them from every-
day common life .which i» shaped by
our habits.
Therefore, cultivate the habit of
thrift ,and the earlier you begin the
better. And n omatter how old you
are ,or how long you have lived, be-
gin this day to save something, no
matter how little. Let thrift be your
habit. As Benjamin Franklin said,
“Save and Have.”
Don’t Let’s Import This Idea
Applauding a movie actor is safe,
says a paragrapher, because he can’t
come back and give an encore.
Is that so? In Germany a little
while ago, as a result of prolonged
applause, a movie manager had the
film rolled back and the applauded
scene shown over again.
Hiffh School Wins
Over Cotton pickers
Coach Ogan’B Brahmas completely
outclassed the Cottoupickors from
Robstowu here Tuesday night and
had little difficulty in piling up a 30 j
to 13 score. The local boys displayed j
a marked superiority in every depart- j
went of the game, their passing,
shooting and floor work dimmed the j
rather feeble efforts of Touch Man- J
niug’s charges at every stage of tho i
game, which was featured by the ;
rough and tumble style of attuck that
they were forced to subdue. Numer j
ous personal fouls were chalked
against the visitors, cramping their
already rather limited ability, ruffling
their good natures and otherwise
making the game a rather hotly con-]
tested affair, despite tho one-sided J
score,
Donohue and Spear went out of the j
game early because of their ability to!
draw a line of distinction between the]
football rules with which they are I
exceedingly familiar, and the inter-
pretation of modern basketball rules,
by Referee Elmore.
Koemae, at center for the visitors, j
was the outstanding point, gatherer,1
and despite the dose guarding of the
Brahmas, succeeded in ringing up 7 ]
points, to score more than half of the]
total gathered by bis teammates. The
play of the Cottoupickors in general
showed lack of practice, inability to
handle the ball, and poor form
throughout.
Cornelius, at center for the Brah-
mas, was the outstanding scorer for
the home boys. 11 is night’s work to-
taled five field goals and one free
throw, giving him high point, honors
with 11. The Brahmas have shown
much improvement all the wruy
through, and their floor work and
guarding, featuring Cornelius. Hunter
and MeNabb, is ;i credit to a school
of this size. Hunter not only played
a good game at standing guard, but
took advantage of the fouls called
against him to score five free throws.
The guarding of MeNabb and the im-
provement that he is showing mark
him as a valuable man to tho suc-
cess of the home hoys, Pierson at
forward had an off night, but still
managed to show quite a bit of basket-
ball ability. The third quarter found
an entire change in the lineup of the
Brahmas, for Coach Ogan was giving
them all a chance. Hodges, Pulln,
Pope, Johnson, Miller, West, Mc-
Cracken and Faulkner all look part
in the contest without placing the
home boys in any danger of being
scored upon with any consistency.
Aransas Pass Wins
From Independents
Manager Auld’s Golden Sandstorm
went down in defeat before tho on-
rush of Carl Houghton and his war-
riors from Aransas Pass. The game |
was largely a. contest of dribbling and j
erratic passing ns well as the inability j
of the Sandstorms to register a field i
goal. WinCim Walsh Jr. was the i
high point man of the game, the
splendid teamwork of his colleagues I
and his uncanny shooting were the
greatest assets to his piling up the
impressive amount of one field goal
to lead the field with two points. *
Sims of A. & M. ran him a close
second with one free throw. Rose-
bud should also have much credit for
the beautiful free throw’ chalked up
in the early part of th game.
The Sandstorms consist of the fol-
lowing men: Mcklln, Patrick, Walsh,
Elder, Simms, Auld and Rosebud.
Anyone wishing to play fast and
furious basketball, see Auld.
Harrel Drug1 Co. Bid*?.
Is Being Remodeled
With the remodeling and rebuild-
ing of the large frame structure oc-
cupied by the Harrel Drug Company
and the adjoining property owned by
W. M. Mconnack and formerly occu-
pied by tho Lieberniann Dry Goods
Store, two of the few remaining frame
mercantile buildings In the business
district of tho city will be replaced
by modern brick buildings, adding
greatly to the appearance of the main
thoroughfare and lessening the fire
hazard.
Workmen under tho supervision of
Contractor George Tillman are con-
structing the brick partition wall that
will separate the Harrel property
from that of Mr. McCormack, and wil
soon begin tho construction of an at-
tractive store front for each of the
properties, replacing tho old frame
landmark.
Although construction work that
will transform its place of business
from a frame to a brick structure is
fully under way, tho excellent service
that the Harrel establishment is In no
wise impaired ,all of the articles In
a very complete stock being accessi-
ble for immediate delivery. In fact,
while building a now house over his
old store, “Nick" Is doing business
as usual.
