March 9, 1918, from
the editorial page of the Hickory Daily
Record
Col. Geo. H.
Rights, local editor of the Union
Republican, tells the young folks that they may learn something by economy
as a result of this war. The veteran philosopher of our old friend happened
along about the time of the War Between the States, and he learned a few things
about thrift. Children of today know nothing of self-denial or of not getting
what they want. We are old enough to have known a boy who thought he was lucky
when he had a red cent to spend on each birthday anniversary until he reached
10 years.
