To Eat BelEIan Hare.

The Tri-City Belgian Hare associa-
ton is planning a Belgian hare ban
quet. to take place at Turner hall in
Davenport next Wednesday evening.
and of which, of course, the hare will
be the piece de resistance for most of
the meat courses The members of
the club and few newspaper folks
who have indicated a disbelief that
the hare was good to eat are to make
up the gathering, and the practical
demonstration of the claims of the
hare as food is expected to prove it
to be toothsome and savory.

Put Money Aside.

Take 10 cents to the nearest avail
able savings bank and deposit it to
your credit. Keep it up until you have
a dollar.
Don't wait to do this until you have a
situation. Do it now. If you have
change for car fare, walk.
This is the only way to save money.
If you wait until your salary is raised,
or until you happen to have an errand
near the savings bank, you may be
dead before you lay by cent.
There is only one way to save money.
That is to begin now.-New York
