Senator James Couzens of Michigan, now 55 does not care to live beyond the age of 65 years, he says: “ 1 hope I do not live more than ten years long er. That would be about right. 1 will have had enough of life bv then. This, of course, applies to me only. I would not presume to judge a span of life for others.” While Senator Couzens states hat he is speak ing only for himseif. yet it is m >st unbecoming of a United States senator to give expression to a sentiment of this kind even tho'.gh he may se cure some public notice, which he did not crave so keenly a few years ago when he entered the American senate. He is one of the wealthiest men that ever held a seat in the senate. A contrast to this opinion is expressed by Count Ilya Tolstoy, son of a distinguished father, who is visiting America, who says: ‘‘At the age of 65 I am as active mentally and physically as I was 20 years ago. I expect to re main so for at least another score of years, al though I am looking forward to thirtv-five years more of life. Every normal person has tre right to expect to live a whole century.” The harm done by the senator’s statement is that many elderly people will get the idea that they are iooked upon as ‘‘has been” after they reach the age of 65. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The greatest statesmen of all times have been men beyond the age of 65. Hun dreds of examples of men and women could be cited, who have made their greatest successes be yond the age of 65. No, Senator, you have another guess a coming even about yourself made privately and express ed publicly. You should read the lines of Brown ing’s “ Rabbi Ben Ezra,” which run as follow s: “ ‘Grow old along with me— the best is yet to be.” And don't throw out the gloom about being through at 65. Don’t you know that we are all as • old as we feel, or as our friends think we are? ADVERTISING COMES INTO ITS OWN “ Public utility companies will spend $28,000,- 000 for advertising this year.” Here, in this news item, is food for thought. It makes one wonder if there are still reactionaries who insist that ad vertising is useless and a waste of investors’ money. Statistics on the strides that advertising expen diture and space have taken, would be of tre mendous interest to the studerit of modern indus try and business. In the past twenty years it has unquestionably doubled itself many times. Through the various mediums, and most import ant of all, the newspapers, advertising and pub licity have grown to proportions where they are among the greatest forces known for furthering home from Little S ’»a «» where home from Tule Lake last week. they attended the funieral of lit The Ladies 1 id met Thursday tle Lloyd Melliase Sou He. afternoon at Jt he home o f Mrs. Mf. and Mrs. Waltei • Smith >f \t alter Bitty.

Back in 1*74, Jackson county had 8,810 per pn gross and forwardness. The recent unprece dented grow th of the public utilities are directly traceable, in a large degree, to the effect of wide and intelligent advertising. Far from being a waste of investors’ money it is a safeguard in that if the company or product advertised is honest and worthwhile, that company’s business or sales will increase in direct proportion to the amount of advertising. Progressive business is learning that the only thing better for business than extensive advertis ing is more extensive advertising plus a good product or service. sons of school age, fix m 5 to 21 years old. Now there are but 5,2*7 persons of school age in the county. It is true that the population has also de creased, being approximately 22,000 in 1872 and only 10,250 now, but at the same proportion, there should be at least 7,500 school children in the county now.

She Ci uldn’t be bothered with budgets and records of money spent, she said, and felt that they were un necessary so long as expenditures were never allowed to interfere with savings. Many people share this woman’s antipathy toward keeping a daily rec> rd of small expeditures, but few can so definitely tell of the plan for savings, regularly carried out. A checking account to provide all the records o f expenditure nec essary’ to the average household, and a savings account for accumu lating your weekly savings, form an ideal arrangement for a system atic household.
