A SAVINGS ACCOUNT.

employer. and II no Is worth more and
more TO his employer he Is worth moro
and more to himself. But the only way
to realize this worth to himself Is by
saving some Of the money he receives
for his daily wo.i. The time has

ness. That Is read of In fiction, but It
Is seldom or never seen in fact. And
1t Is better so. If the man who is work.
Ing Is really worth money to his en-
ployer and to himself he will prove it
by saving money from his wages and
the very best way to save that money
is by starting savings account.
That savings account, young man,
should be started at once. Next Sat
urday, or next pay day, when you re.
ceive your envelope or your check,
carry it intact to bank, deposit part
of the money and get bank book.
A dollar will start savings account.
Then, each week. put part of your
wages in the bank, build up your &C.
count as fast as possible and the bank
er will help you by paying you inter
est. 1t is surprising how fast a savings
account will increase under good care,
and it is surprising, too, that the
owner of the account will be living
just as well and enjoying himself just
as much as before he started saving
He will, in addition, feel more indie
pendent, self-reliant and worthy OF
trust than ever before in his life.

Herrick, talking of savings deposits
and savings banks, said:

AS to what the standpat papers will

townships would furnish the other
third. The law was so framed that
local jealousies were developed and
the appropriation was unused. At this
years session the legislature passed
another good roads bill, with an ap-
preparation of $6,356,232. This time
the state offers to pay three-fourths of
the cost, If the county and townships,
or one township alone will bear one
fourth. The new law provides for a
department to promote and supervise
the highways of the state. A highway
commissioner, with staff of assist
ants, will make a survey of all the
roads in the state, and allot a share of
the state appropriation on petition
from the. townships, or from any town
ship that applies, to the state direct
without reference to the county com
missioners.
This liberal state appropriation
should test the disposition of rural
communities to make a practical start
in building good roads. Pennsylvania.
like New Jersey, is favored with a
large surplus in the state treasury.
New Jersey has made fine beginning
in general road improvement, almost
equaling Massachusetts in this respect.
1t will not be the fault of the Penn
sylvania legislature if that state fails
to get into the same class.
Iowa might well profit by the ex-
ample of these eastern states. The
system now employed in the care of
country roads Is not what 1t should be
in Iowa and there could be no wiser
provision made than the appointment
Of a special commission or the empow-
ering of present officials for the pur-
pose of arriving quickly at sensible
and economical plan for improving the
roads all over the state.

Skull Fractured by Little Fellow.

Kansas City, Mo-, March 49,
Because she kicked at his dog
while she was walking With
several women, Charles tYeager,
a 5-year-old boy, threw a stone
with a sling at Mrs. Maude F.
Ingram. The stone hit her on
the head and fractured the skull.
Physicians believe the woman is
dying.
Mrs. Ingram is 27 years old,
and is the wife of a veterinary
surgeon. Her husband asked
the prosecuting attorney to issue
a warrant for the arrest of the boy,
but was told that no prosecution
coull be begun because, under
the laws Of the state, a child
under seven years of age cannot

NEW PARDON RULE.

Gov. Davis has announced the
following new pardon rule:
81 have recently been over
whelmed with applications for
pardons where the defendants
have been convicted of carnal
abuse, seduction, rape or some
kindred offenses, and | have
this determination: That here
after will not, consider, neither
will | open the papers for the
consideration of any application
for any defendant in any case OF
rape, seduction, carnal abuse, or
any other case where the chastity
or good name Of a woman IS
involved.
II make this statement so that
attorneys and friends of defend
ants may not bother me with
these applications.
eff sixteen grand jurors indlct
man for either of these offenses
and twelve jurors convict him,
and the trial judge refuses to sci
aside the verdict, so far as this
office is concerned, the transac
ton is a closed incident. How
ever, this rule does not apply tc
applications now on file."
This rule by Governor Davis is
all we'll and good, but why con-
fine it to a class of crimes such
as are mentioned. Why not ap'
ply the same rule to illega
whiskey sellers, pistol carriers,
and in fact to all classes of crime!
If sixteen grand jurors indict a
man for any crime and twelve
Jurors convict him, and the triaI
Judge refuses to set aside the
verdict, why not apply this rules

Where Mission Money Is Needed.

Foreign mission talk makes us
tired when we look around and
see so much need of home mis-
sion work. Build respectable
churches and school houses at
home, make your own homes
comfortable and educate your
children first, and then if you
have any spare change left, after
paying your under-paid preach
ers and teachers, you might send
it to the heatben Chinee, who
wouldn't swap religion with you
for twice the money. We are
not SO religious as some OF our
intimate friends think, but we are
getting anxious to hear church
bells ringing in this town. Calico
