To Save Is to Have
Suppose you save 23 cents a day. That
does not mean much to the average man.
You won't miss it
Yet that 25 cents a day in ten years grows to nearly
a thousand dollars. And the interest, which we pay
you for saving your money, brings the total to
well over eleven hundred dollars.
Think of what you can do with this.
Realize Your Dreams
Just a few years of small but steady savings will
bring you many of the things you are lonk,i. for.
Perhaps you want a car. Perhaps you wsnt to buy
the farm next to you. Perhaps you want to start a
son in business, or to go traveling, cr to educate
yourself or your children.
Saving will do all these. And test of all, you will
have formed the saving habit and will never be one
ot the nine men

last years penni-less-in

ing to Mr. Harvey and we shudder
with horror as we read of their pre
niciuus activity and with eagerness
pass over page after page in quest
of the sovereign remedy that will
hog tie the two and render them
powerless to commit further dam
age. It is a sort of anti climax to give
the remedies Mr. Harvey suggests,
for after getting your feelings
worked up to a scheme for abolish
ing interest, to merely reduce the
rale to two per cent, you feel does
not answer the purpose at all. For
if ordinary interest is a crime, two
per cent interest would still remain
crime. Such a remedy would
probably appeal to the shiftless and
incompetent and this is doubtless
the class to which Mr. Harvey ap
peals. And as for the substitute

is a poor substitute. Next to try

While other cities in this section

something different to offer the

Chester H. Rowell, editor of the
Fresno, Cal., Republican, worked
up a"strong lecture on "The White
Man's Last Frontier" which he de
livered when the occasion presented
itself. He showed that the course
of expansion fir the white: man has
been invariably westward, as each
center has become populated, the
surplus had sought new homes until
now all available land ha.d been ab
sorbed and we pause on the Pacific
coast, with our frontier extinguish'
ed for to the west we aru confront
ed with a civilization older than
ours. Here our fror.tinr merges
with the frontier of the'mongolians
and the fact is bringing up some
serious problems. Doubtless the
story of the next fifty years of the
world's history will deal.'largely
with the incidents arlsing'out of the
clashing of two civil izations and two
sets of ideals. ,
