short. Better be making a visit to the collector’s

THE REAL'.MEANING
THRIFT
By COLLINS k COLLINS
By MRS. ROBT. FUTCH.
For a long time before the World
War the term "thrift” meant miserli-
ness, stinginess and parsimony to us.
And such traits as those were consid-
ered unbecoming to liberal and gen.

LET’S HAVE A CAUSEWAY
Llano is in need of many things of a public nature,
but one (rf-rts greatest needs at the present time,
and one which there is a great possibility of secur-
ing. is a causeway across the river here^in town.
We have a bridge which is able to take care of the
ordinary traffic, and for years lias served the gran-
itte interests, but this in only a limited manner.
In the first place, the large trucks, loaded with
stone . which are continually crossing this bridge are
bound to have a certain amount of damaging effect
upon it; then again many and many large orders of
granite are lost each year bv the local dealers, sim

the greatest good for both the pres,

that sees only the present and neg-
lects the future fails in its mission.
In fact, real thrift means devoting
more and more attention to the de.

creatine material products but his ca-
pacities for enjoying and creating
higher qualities of life.
