Many people think of thrift aa lim

does include saving money, but only
in so far as saving reflects efficiency
in the handling of money. It epplies
wnu equal rorce whether efficiency,
be exemplified In earning, planning,
spending or concerving income.

Here It must bo also clearly under

ing does not mean depriving oneself
or one b family of those things which
they are netltled to enjoy and expect.
It simply Implies discretion In the ex

Telephone Smile or
the Telephone
Did you ever say, after com
pleting a telephone conversation,
"I'll bet that man is a regular
grouch," or, "I'll never buy an
other thing at that store."
Why did you make such a re
mark? It was probably because
the party on the other end of the
telephone wire failed to use tela
phone courtesy.
Here is the proper way to begin and end a telephone conver
sation: The telephone bell rings, and the person answering says: "Mor.
ton & Company, Mr. Baker speaking." The person calling then
says: "This is Mr. Wood of Curtis & Company." Mr. Baker re
plies: "Good morning, Mr. Wood," and the conversation has
started without a series of unnecessary questions.
The business is transacted. Mr. Wood says, "Good-bye, Mr.
Baker," and he receives the reply, "Good bye, Mr. Wood," and
the conversation ends without the feeling that one or the other has
been cut off abruptly.

Discriminating Against Nebras
ka?" To Investigate
The car shortage in Nebraska haa
leen Just aa bad in the past six weeka
a It has been during any period since
he beginning of the famine, says a
viiter In tho State Journal. Dur-
ng the past two weens it nas own

ge of stock cars, ndded to the un
hanging shortage of grain cars. The
Vmericau nUway ssTchit!on reports
how thai during the mouth ol De
ember the car shortage of cars In ,
he United States decreased nearly
ne-half.
The question naturally haa been
aUcd: "Are the railroads discrlniin
iting against Nebraska?"
Thorne A. Brown, secretary of the
S'ebraska railway commission, wired
he Interstate commerce commission
requesting an investigation of the
possibility that tliia state 13 getting
he worst of a generally bad situa
tion. His telegram to the interstate
commission follows:
"According to press reports the
American railway association states
net shortage of cars decreased from
107,000 on December 1 to 59,700 on
Pecemtbr 31, and that cars are now
being moved from congested sections
to relieve shortage In other sections.
"Shortage in Nebraska fully as
acute as two months ago with no in
dication of relief.
"If A. It. A. statement is correct
Nebraska is being discriminated .

The conclusion necessarily followed
that Nebraska has not been reached
In the car shortage relief that is Bald
by the reports to obtain generally.
The state commission would like to
know why.
One railroad traffic man is quoted
saying when Informed of the request
i of the railway commission for an in

that 10,000 cars, in addition to th"'
number that will be furnished in the'
usual course of business, could be
used In this state during the next

Fanners' Political Movement to lie
Organized In TIiIh State Is
the Announcement
The announcement Is made from
the national headquarters of the
newest political movement among
tho farmers that Nebraska is on the
list of states to be organized during
th" next year. The organization is
distinct from The Farmers' Union,
which has been causing politicians in
Nebraska to wonder what would hap
pen when the organization grew a
little stronger. It is known aa the
1 aimers' Nonpartisan Political
lc.15.uu, and its objects nre to recast
economic conditions entirely for the
benefit of the farmer.
The movement began in North Da
kota, where the farmers were pinch
ed by the monopolistic grain eleva
tor systems aided by the railroads.
North Dakota runs heavily to farm
ers, and it was not a difficult task to
get them organized and to carry the
last election. The league . entered
boih primaries, named both sets of
candidates and then picked the ones
be.'t .-quipped for election. State
socialism with the farmer the most
favomd individual is to bo worked
out there.
So instant and complete was the
victory in North Dakota t at it has
beeu decided to nationalize the
movement. Headquarters have been
moved to St. Paul, Minn., and the
wink of organizing Iowa. Nebraska,
Michigan and Wisconsin is to be un
dertaken in the next six months. Or
ganizations are now under way in
Minnesota, Montana and South Da
kota. A standardized program has been
prepared for all states, and A. C.
Townley. the president, states it In
these words:
"They call the strict state super
vision of marketing conditions and
public ownership of important in
dutsries which relate to the 'market
ing of the far...er's products, such as
grain elevators, by which it Is pro
poned to establish a fair system of
grades and marketing, hour.efe, pack
ing houses, cold storage plants and
flour mills.
"Ultimately." said President
Townley, "we shall have federal
ownership of grain elevators and
other important and necessary ed
juncts to marketing, which are now

controlled by monopoly, to tho great
injury of every citizen of the United
States, consumers of farm products
as well as farmers."
In Minnesota the league has made
these demands of the legislature:
A law making the principal of the
state school fund available for loans
to farmers.
A law making Improvements on
farm property exempt from taxation.
A tonnage tax on iron ore.
A law giving farmers absolute con
trol of thj marketing of grain.
State hail insurance.
IjMik Out for Fanners
This is what the league Intends to
accomplish where the program is
possible:
Build state terminal elevators for
handling grain on Lake Superior and
at tidewater, presumably In Now
York city or Brooklyn.
Build stock yards, packing houses
and cold storage plants, all to ba
owned and operated by the state for
the benefit of the farmer and stock
raiser.
Enact state insurance against dam
age from the elements hail insur
ance, blight insurance, black rust In
surance. Bring about the exemption of farm
improvements from taxation.
Create a system of state inspection
of dockace and grading of grain.
Establish credit banks operated at
cost.
The new movement started when
the North Dakota legislature ignored
a referendum direction to appropri
ate money for an elevator on Lake
Superior to which growers might
ship direct and avoid the extortionate
toll of the middleman.
Townley. the leader, is less than
forty years old. He was once a
school teacher and then a farmer. He
organized an automobile squad that
went out and told the farmers how
"th'j interests" had caused the legis
lature to repudiate the direction of
the people. So secretly was the
thing conducted that the opposition
never waked up till too late.
Every farmer who Joins gets two
years' membership for $16, but he
pledges himself to vote just aa the
executive committee of the league
tells him to vote. During the next
two years the Minnesota league will
either get its propositions submitted
In amendment to the constitution,
which will make them live questions
in the 1918 campaign, or it will meet
defeat in the legislature and "ap
peal to the people."
