who has capital enough to afford to
wait ten years for returns can make %
large profit by planting rubber trees In

We talk about the care-free days OF
childhood. why do we remember these
days with such delight? Was 1t be.
cause we had nothing to do but to
play? No. Many Of us had crrands
and chores that kept us busy from
morning until night. 1t was not idle.
ness that gave us happiness. What.
then. is the secret of the happiness Of
childhood? The question Is answered
in one word, Hope. AS children we
hoped for something new, something
| better tomorrow than tho good that
came to-day. Or II to-day Glanced to
have more Of tears than Of smiles we
hoped for u brighter tomorrow. As
children we believe In people and In
the world, we trust that tomorrow
will bring right the trials of to-day.
Hope smooths out the wrinkles Of to-
day and prepares for beautiful to-
morrow. Hope works hard at the task
at hand and never worries. IVORY IL
fear. Fear Is the devil" Hope fin.
ishcs up tho duties of to-day and be.
licves In tomorrow. Hope goes to bed
TO sleep. not to toss on wakeful pill
low. Hope has steady nerves and
courage. Hope never fears. Hope
never wecps. Hope never llags. Hopes
efforts are always healthy. vigorous
and In some measure successful. Hope
is the life-savlng quality. Fortunate
Is he who passes from childhood Ia
manhood with hope. When hope dies,
then dies strength and courage. Then
do we perish.

a man in one of the Eastern States
recently wrote to one Of the newspa'
pers that his income was $50 a week.
he had nobody to care for except has
wife and himself and yet he could not
save anything. He asked for advice as
to how he could set aside something
for 1.-THE rainy day" that every man
says he expects. but rarely acts as II
lie did. He had many replies Of ono
kind or another, but hardly one OF
them could be called helpful advice
For tie most part men told him what
they lad done In saving out Of sala'
rles many Of which We're much smaller
than his. One man with nearly the
same income told him fatty that III
ought to save One-third Of It because
he himself had done SO, and ther
showed a schedule setting forth bill
expenses. Another cheered him witt
the Information that out of an income
OF 500 a month he had himself KEEP

appeared to think that the inquiries
