THE SAVING HABIT

There are several reasons why you
should have bank account, however
modest it may be. First of all, some
day you will need some ready money.
Sickness, loss of work, a slight turn
IN the wheel of fortune-what will
you do? Another reason may be
found in content and peace Of mind
He who has some savings feels more
secure than does the spendthrift. Dis
content and worries dog the footsteps
OF the man who lives up all his in.
come. But the big reason is this
The saving habit is relax in it's action.
1t is easy to spend money. 1t requires
effort to save it. The fiabby minded
man lets go his money cklessly
the strong resists the strong tempta-
tlon to spend more than he can afford
and in resisting this temptation,
grows stronger. Nor need one grow
stingy and hard hearted. There are
many inducements for a young man,
especially, to let go his money. He
Is urged in hundred ways to squan-
der his hardearned dollars foolishly
He who resists is laying the founda-

The newspapers about the country
have quite deal to say about their
home people sending away to city
department stores and mail order''
houses for goods they see advertised
in theacity papers. There is no doubt
the city houses rake in quite lot Of
money that the local merchant might
get and ought to have, if the local
town is to be kept on the map. We
have no doubt the home merchant has
just as good bargains as those adver-
tised IN the city Sunday papers, but
the home merchant neglects to let
people know what he can offer them.
and can not reasonably complain if
the trade, naturally his, is allu1ed to
the city houses which take great pains
TO proclaim their bargains. The
country newspapers can sympathize
very deeply with the home merchant
along this line. They are required
TO compete in prices on printing with
the best equipped printing offices in
large cities. Nearly everybody is a
free trader when it comes to this. If
the home industry or the home mer-
chant can't compete with the city
fellows. the home man loses the bust
ness, in spite of all the nice senti
ment of building up home indus
tries' which has been preached SO
eloquently and long by the high tariff
apostles. Still. if the home mer-
chants were as vigilant and judicious
in buying stock, and as proclaiming
it, as are the city houses, he would
hold much Of the trade that is now
diverted to the cities. If any mer-
chant in Durant wants to try it the
News has the space to advertise
catchy bargains. Durant News.

STAR.

SIAR.
The commencement exercises of the
Star high school embracing the and and
grid of this month, was decidedly the best
in the brief history of the school. On
Tuesday, at II am, DR.. Lowery, in his
usual eloquent style, preached very
broad and enlightening sermon. At ago
in the afternoon very elaborate program
by Misses James and Lowe of the primary
department, very pleasantly entertained
the large and attentive audience for a
short time. The precise and graceful
manner with which each of the little ones
performed their respective part, decided all
that such exact and skillful training is
only eonsummation attained by "Blue
Mountain" girls. At 1890 pm. occurred
the annual contest in which three young
men detained and seven young ladies re-
cited for gold medal. Miss Bessie Clark
was the successful contestant. On Wed
nesday, at II am, S. S. Graham, of
Mllsaps College, delivered very able
and instructive address. His natural
talent as an orator, with that choice ma
terlal constituting his address was quite a
literary treat. At 2:3o in the afternoon
the "Ihalian' literary society entertained
the audience as discussing the subject:
Resolve, That intemperance is of more
evil in general than war" The discus
cussion favored the affirmative. AS a
compensation for the persistent efforts
manifested by each debater, gold medal
was offered the one who merited the
highest mark. The medal was awarded
Miss Maude Didlake. At 7:3o pm. the
large audience was awaiting in eagerness
and with anticipation the grand concert,
which was nothing short of success, and
was enjoyed by all. Master Albert Ross
was awarded the scholarship medal.
Little Miss Ora Morgan was awarded
the handsome medal offered by Miss
James in music. For second honor in
music little Miss Henry Walker was
awarded nice music roll.
Misses James and Lowe departed
Thursday for their respective homes via
