A collection of aphorisms attributed to Ben Franklin about thrift, wealth, time, and prudent living. The text blends proverbs with scattered historical notes and a stray 20th century dispatch about Bolsheviki activity at Buenos Aires, creating a jumbled, decades-spanning snippet. The intent appears to be a miscellany of moral maxims with an unrelated cable mention.
Extracts from a May 27 1918 letter express family concern for Looney and support for Red Cross drives. The writer notes many boys leaving for France and training camps, pledges food and money, urges perseverance through hardship, and hopes for the recipient's safe return. Included are farm and community guidance on wartime farming, watch as compass anecdotes, and booster rhetoric for Liberty Loan subscriptions and patriotic duty.
Government urged thrift in 1919 to fund war obligations through saving and investing. Campaign aims to teach thrift in schools and workplaces, promote War Savings Stamps and Liberty Bonds, and make saving a national habit. Emphasizes self interest and postwar patriotism to boost personal and national prosperity.
