We ate, drank and were merry without a thought or caie for the morrow. Of late years conditions have changed, thepopu-lation thepopu-lation has increased to nore than 100,-000,000 100,-000,000 and we have, periods of depression depres-sion in business which bring on ('hard times." Loss of employment ofttimes means real hardship and in some cases much suffering before another job can be secured. - We should follow the example of the people of many of the European countries coun-tries and lay by something for the " rainv day" that is sure to come. When France was compelled to pay Germany a billion-dollar war indemnity, iu 1S71. it was the peasant class that furnis-hed the money in exchange for government bonds, and France recovered from the effects of a disastrous war in a remarkably remark-ably short time. The Germans are also frugal and always manage to save something some-thing out of even the smallest wages. While it isn't the nature of the average American to deny himself anything so long as he has the price, it is time to change the system aod patronize the savings banks. A3 the report from Chicago shows, there is likely to be plenty of work in the United 8tatcg for some time to come, and it should be harvest "time for all clasps of society. Those who fail to profit by it will have no excuse for railing, at the government or whining because they do not get on in life. |
