The Relay Race
of Life
Are you exerting all the energy pos
sible to beat the wolf in the first lap,
or are you depending on your part
ner Fate to win in the last lap after you
have allowed the wolf to gain two
thirds the distance, when you should
rightfully be in the lead ? You bet
ter see where you stand with the wolf
and if you are behind-speec up.
In most cases foolish spending is far in the lead of earnings.
This condition should not exist.
V
Should be the slogan adopted by every family in Bend, and lived up to rigidly. Every business house and
industry that is interested in Bend is interested in the financial condition of every family in the city. All
sober thinking men know that to save is the only road to a bright future. The man who spends his to
morrow's earnings today, or that even spends this week's pay check before the next one is due, is ignoring
the dreaded ghost of an impoverished old age. If you do not prepare for the future now by laying awav
a small portion of your earnings each week or month, as sure as you live you will spend the autumn of
your life cursing yourself for not heeding the knock of opportunity when the possibility to save offered
itself. Your earning capacity is large now because your physical and mental condition is at its height.
With the coming of old age your efficiency will decrease until you can not earn your daily bread if your
livelihood is dependent on your labor.
TODAY IS THE TIME TO PREPARE FOR
THE LAST YEARS OF YOUR LIFE
Many who read this talk will no doubt say: "That's old stuff. I know all that without being told." But
do you? Yes you do. So do we, and so do the majority, of people, just as we know right from wrong.
We are taught it from childhood. In fact it is so common that you have neglected to heed. You knew
about it yesterday and believed it, and told yourself you would save and start tomorrow, but TOMORROW
NEVER COMES. Today its always tomorrow, until you have slipped from sturdy manhood to the feeble
ness of old age. and ycu are still waiting for TOMORROW.
TODAY IS THE TIME TO START
Forget some of your petty needs buy only when it is necessary and when you do buy, judge your pur
chases by quality, not cost the most costly is not always the best. When possible, mend in place of throw
ing the worn garment away. You may not think it looks as well, but it pays in the long run. And above all
DON'T THROW YOUR MONEY AWAY
ON RENT
OWN YOUR HOME !
Again I hear you say: "It sounds good." Yes it does. And its possible and profitable. If you arc interested
in owning your home, your capital is small and you don't know how to go about it, see any reliable real
estate man, lay your plans before him, tell him your possibilities, and he will advise you how you can either
BUILD OR BUY A HOME
