Another week brings ns many rt*- sons for feeling encouraged by th« prog ress in the construction work and fur ther evidence of public interest in the coming exhibition.

Next week will see a lot of im provement in the way of cattle and other stock sheds. These will be ar- ranted along the north line of the grounds and will provide for whatever may be brought into the grounds for ex hibition purposes«.

Suppose he should ask "how have you succeeded thia 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 atop to consider you. Thousands are tilling 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 Imlay than ever before. There is no better way to accomplish thia than depositing your whole income in a good bank and pay by check being careful V> 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.
