Thrift lesson from a Kansas pocket change finder
The Smith Center correspondent relays a Smith Center Kansas tale of Mrs Bhiy who saved 14000 buffalo nickels worth 700 dollars by dropping coins into a cellar chute. The passable joke is a sermon on thrift and the wartime lesson that saving matters more than income. It notes how small daily savings add up and urges readers to invoice their resources. The piece frames savings as practical and accessible, even without large sums.
