Thoughts For The Day They that be wiee ehall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and t hey that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.— Dan. 12:3.. To be wiser than other men is to be honester than they; and strength of mind is only courage to see and speak the truth.—Hazlitt. SAVE WHILE YOU CAN The. pillion, (S. C.,) Herald has given to its read ers softie sound advice in practicing economy and saving while they have something to save. It says: Our people know how to earn but they don’t know how to save . That is one of the South’s faults. We are sadly lacking in thrift. When times are hard we economize because we are compelled to, but the moment the tide of pros perity hits us we begin to spend with lavish hand. For three years we practiced rigid economy in Diiiion county. The 1923 crop was one of the cheapest in the country’s history. We made twice as much cotton as we expected to make and the prices were higher than we expected to receive. The shock was too great for the weak and we are witnessing another orgy of spending' similar to that of the fall of 1919. Agenta you find everywhere. The agent follows the trail of prosperity and people are spending money for things that they do not need. If there was any assurance of bountiful crops and high prices year after year it would be all right, but what about next year if we should happen to have a ' crop failure? Now is a good time to lay by a few of those surplus dollars. They might look as big as cart wheels this time next'year. ... r -•>. ,i ; - Tl-.e Herald is absolutely cotTect and wise in its advice. Another year may bring forth a short crop and that whiih has been saved this year will be re quired to tide over until conditions Improve. How ever, the prosjfccts for 1924 are most encouraging and it is generally believed that a bigger and better crop will be made. Every farmer is feeling good over the crop of this year and now that it has been demonstrated that cotton can be raised under boll weevil conditions, a reasonable crop should be plant ed. Diversification of crops has been the saving of the farmer and it will save hlm and make for him prolitahle returns, if followed. Foodstuff in abun dance, poultry, hogs and cows will make this section of the country rich and prosperous. ,■ THE FEMININE BANDIT (■ It is interesting and strangely’truo that the femi- I nine bandit is the more daring than the mnle bandit ; She seems to put a-touch in her work which has a p hypnotic influence over those whom she chooses 'to hold up and rob. Recently In a bank robbery out west, a bobbed-haired young woman appeared nt> tno cashier’s window and demanded of him all the , money laying around loose. She was so nice about l. it and displayed so much coolness, the banker seemed loath to comply with her request when she “fired up” and said, “Make it snappy before I fill you with some hot lead.” Her remark brought action from the man behind the window and all the money In his possession was produced without delay. Quietly tak ing it over and tucking it under her arm she walked from the window as though nothing out of the ordi nary had occurred and mysteriously disappeared. She was hot the least excited nor did she seem to be a debutante-in the business, but her every movement In ti icatd that of an experienced and old timer in the business. ■ j - • The-gentler sex can-lay claims to nerve and grit equal to their most hardened brothers in crime. Al most daily there are reports of some'woman bandit holding up a bank, automobiles and even passengers jn trains. They seem to know how to go about the lusmess and the easy and unexpected manner in r Hitch they introduce the act of robbery is not only surprising, but it is alarming to the unfortunates held up. Well, after all, the day is coming when women will • prove their worth and ability to meet and cope with nun in all walks of life. Many of the newspapers in the state continue to howl over the seven dollars a day paid to the legisla ture during the extra session. It* * is too late now to S ew oyer “spilt milk.’’ , Congress Is bickering over the election of a chair man of the Inter-State Commerce committee, that is the upper house. Unless something is done when congress convenes next month, the session will be as expensive jts that of the extra session of the Georgia legislature. > Savannah is not ashamed of the publicity received •over the arrest and convictions of a large number of dealers in whiskey in that city recently. The Morping News believes that it is a wholesome reputation .for the city to have in that its officials are tracking the law and seeing it to its enforcement. There is milch to be considered in,this view and we do not know but that the reputation gained will prove beneficial to Savannah, after all.

RANKERS say that saving money is largely a matter of habit— of systematically putting away something every pay day—of consistently thinking in terms of thrift. \ ' The bankers are right. But remember that thrift embraces buying as well as saving. It is “penny wise and pound foolish” to saVe ty scrimping and yet spend money needlessly in making your every-day purchases. Has it ever occurred to you that every day you can save some thing simply by reading the advertisements in this paper? Do you realize that the advertisements tell you just where and when to buy to advantage—that they tell you how to avoid regrettable expenditures. * Thrifty folks realize that advertising has reduced the selling costs of thousands of factories and stores. Many of the things that today count as necessities or simple luxuries could not' be sold at anything like their present prices had not advertising created a broad market for them. It has made millions of sales at small profit where otherwise there would be thousands of sales at large profit per sale.' So, you owe a great deal to advertising. And you owe it to yourself to read advertising. Advertising Helps You Save Money Read It Systematically
