Narrow Escape
Roliert Doane's woodsawing crew,
while engaged in sawing wood al Frank
Gibb's place Thursday, first escaped a
dangerous accident by falling wood, and
afterward a horse twisted around,
backed up and got it* tail caught on the
balance wheel shaft which was rapidly
turned into a spool of horse tail.
After
*om litliculty the inacbine'waa stopped
and toe horse saved the embarrassment
of losing its tail, though that useful

the experience. We might enlarge at

LOOK HERE YOUNG MAN yon who are still at school—you who are ready to
make a start in life. Suppose the President of a large manufacturing concern, a
wholesale firm, a transportation oompany, should step up to you and say "I need
a man to manage my business who can lay aside a little more for the stockholders
to whom I will pay U*X) per month." lie almost invariably picks on a man who
baa made hie way from youth. Suppose he should ask "how have you succeeded
this far in life? Have you laid aside any portion of your income?"
Could you
say to him that you had? If not you could not even hope that he would stop to
consider you.
Thousands are filling such positions and started early in life on the principal of
laying aside each day, each month a portion of thia income which liecame a re
source to them. The demand for such men is greater toil ay than ever before.
There ia no better way to accomplish thia than denoaiting your whole income in a
good lank and |iay by cheek being careful tn see that your reserve increases.
At
regular intervals you can draw on reserve and place on time deposit on which we
pay 4 per cent interest.
