KEEP ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF IT

TTTUH III STTTISHtTU UHTOH.
Young man, it is a good thing to
keep on the right side of yonr dollar.
1t makes a great difference in your
comfort and prosperity whether you
spend n%incty-five per cent or 100 per
cent of it, but it is a positive insult to
the dollar to spend 10 per cent of it.
You will be sorry enough for it when
the dollar gets a fair grip upon you.
A dollar rcsents a mortgage upon itself
II will never serve you ch%eertnlly ii
you dispose of it before you get. it.
Always wait till you get your dollar
before you spend it. Then don't work
it to its fullest capacity, and the dollar
will be your friend.

such venture If carefully made. To

on any safe loan. In Kansas and Neb-
raska especially lands are raising in value
very rapidly and with steady growth
which gives assurance of stability. The

grafton into these states has made invest
ment there doubly safe and desirable.
The climate of Southern Nebraska and
of Kansas, free as it is from the long
RIGOROUS cold winter, added to soil
unsurpassed for richness and productive
capacity. has made possible the wonderful
development of these states. To the far
