Much is now being said on the sub- ject of preparedness—preparednes for war, with all of its horrors, dis- tress and human 1 A measure of preparedness for individual happi- ness, content, old age and the future welfare of dependent ones is equally, if not more, important. If we are impressed with the idea of prepared- ness for a possible exingency, we will be all the more impressed with the y of making provision for those things which fall to the lot of all individuals who continue to live. Now is the opportune time for every individual to enlist in the movement for a thriftier nation. Our country has entered upon an era of prosperity which promises to surpass any we have hitherto enjoyed, and while good times in themselves do not of necessity mean that thrift will be practiced to a larger extent, yet it is at such times that individuals are better able to give time and at- tention to the devising of ways and means for their continuance. It is generally recognized that the fundamental basis of all national prosperity is a bountiful crop produc- tion. The ops of the past year have broken all previous records, commanding good prices, with a big foreign market open and ready to re- ceive all those not needed for home consumption. Large earnings do not necessarily of themselves represent thrift. It is a fact borne out by reliable statistics that while our country is the wealth- iest country in the world, we have a lower percentage of individual sav- ings accounts than any other of the foremost nations. It is also often illustrated in our everyday associa- tions that many citizens with incomes five times those of the average work- er are far less constructive and bene- ficial to the upbuilding of the com- munity than their fellow-citizens of more modest earning capacities. Let us turn the constructive thought of every individual, irrespec- tive of his particular vocation or nece earning capacity, in our nation of one people toward the of waste in hundred million elimination form. its ~every THE ROAD MAKER. The civilized man makes roads; the savage does not. That is the safest test of civilization. Among us, in all communities, are individuals who are not really civ- ilized. They do not take any terest in roads. A man’s scale in civilization is very correctly tested by his attitude to- ward the stone which has rolled into the road or the tree which has blown down across it. The man who drives around the obstacle day after day is one sort of man, the one who stops his team and rolls or drags its away is another. And a person passing along a road which he does not ex- pect to retrace who removes the ob- struction for the sake of the stranger who comes after him responds to a very high test of civilization. He feels socially. ‘When the snow piles up in the road the man who goes ahead and breaks the path for others bears the burden which he who has made progress al- ways must bear. There is snow in every road—to co-operation, to better schools, to better business methods. There must be road breakers for every path. The road maker is the great civilizer.—Farm and Fireside. in- JEFFERSON ROAD SECURED. Securing the Jefferson highway to traverse Minnesota means something more than the bringing in of a single competent roadway, though even that would be worth striving for, says the St. Paul Pioneer Press. It means; the setting of an example that will be followed generally, a first step to- ward good roads in a territory in which good roads will mean more than any other section of the state for the reason that it has fewer of them. It is inconceivable -that a competent arterial roadway can be operated without stimulating the building in every direction of con- neeting roads. Onee the value of a permanent, all-weather road is im- pressed upon a community, at once it is a convert to the profession of good roads generally. The Jefferson highway will mean a boulevard across the state, from Albert Lea to some point on the northwestern border. It would be a godsend if we could have a dozen such.

HOOPS AND HOOPS AND HOOPS AT CHICAGO STYLE SHOW TODAY Chicago, “Feb. 7.—From Chicago tonight messages of hoops and hoops and more hoops; and short jackets, and tight bodices, will be flashed to New York, London, even to Paris it- self. Beginning tonight, Chicago gar- ment manufacturers, hatters, milli- ners and jewelers will stage for a week “Nothing to Wear but Clothes,” the clothes extravaganza around which Chicago’s 1916 spring style show revolves. Pretty girls from the Chicago Grand Opera company will wear the feminine togs. A peep behind the scenes today showed that some of the skirts tend- ed toward hoops and ran down over the ankles after being worn almost up to the knees all winter. The crinoline s t, too, was on the job. They were worn in fabrics such as failles, tafettas, grosgrains, and even gabardines and serges for the promenade; and in ninon, mar- quisette, tulle, and chiffon combined with flimsy lace and the snuggest of bodices in materials of dilferent tex- tures and colors. In spring dresses the light delicate shades prevailed. Over-dress effects, full length sleeves and hoth high and low collars were worn.

Spangled and beaded .trimmings:iof high quality were pronounced. Many of the finer dresses bore iridescent trimmings and: nets. There’s no relief for poor Hubby. for spring waists were . featured by buttons in the back, though a few hutton-in-front styles were shown. Milady’s early spring millinery seemed largely a :.combination of straw with satin, Georgette crepe, or hatter’s plush. Shapes were smail and medium. Flowers, fancy feath- ers, ribbons and malines -were the trimming effects. Evening cloaks -like Grandma’s, were full to take in and hang grace- tully over the hooped skirt. These in beautiful shot taffetas or soft bro- cades trimmed with fur, proved popu- lar. In men’s clothes exhibited, light stripes in dark suits were more than ever in vogue. The cut of the coat and trousers has undergone but lit- tle change over fall suits. Men’s hats for early spring will be soft felt made up in light greys, sil- vers, olive greens and moselles. Shoes will be both tan and black, with tan predominating. Chicago merchants predict an un- usually heavy sale of Palm Beach clothes and other outing togs this spring, and have put in stocks with the expectations of selling more of this kind of clothes than ever be- fore.
