to be hehi at Gresham, Oct. 6, is “The
Furrow.” This is already assured of
set era! limes the display given at last
year's “Fnirow." Scarcely a ‘lay pas-
ses but some new feature is added.
There will be a street
extending

iiibit building. All the wonderful fea-
lures that work so many surprises will
cluster along this.

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. It is now an as
sured thing that Mr. Hchellhonae will
have charge of the poultry exhibit.
Work is now progressing on the poultry
house. 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

It is worth while to know that a lot of
very fine prises have been secured in all
departments, especially in the livestock

LOOK HURL VOVNO 4fA<V you who are still at school—you who are ready to
make a start in life. 8np|<oa* the President of a large manufacturing concern, a
wholesale firm, a tranaportation company, 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 *.'liio |>er month.” He almost invariably picks on a man who
has made his way from youth. 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.
