Here's to the men who proved so true,

They suffered for the human wesl;
They washed away the black ming stain
OF slavery from our fair domain;
They bore the flag on many field,
Their hearts its royal battle shield;
And when their mighty work was done,
The flag without q missing star,
The flag so honored near and far.
In splendOr DER our country shOne.
May blessings rest on their heads so gray.
May flowers brighten and cheer their way,
May our grateful country their memory keep.

The program closed with singing
"Aald Lang Syne," all the persons
on the stage joining hands in singing
the closing chorus.
After the program the people en-
joyed various sports, or chatted with

The HABIT OF SAVING

individuals who save and c.cunu
late sums of money for lucrative in.
yestment are individuals who form the
habit of saving.
To be prodigal of your resources is
natural. Ii Is a survival of the primal
nature Saving is an acquired trait.
Ii Is necessary, therefore, to form hab-
its that are conducive to economy
Many men and women who work for
wages or salaries find 1t difficult TO
save. unless some circumstances
forces them to it, The fact that this
indulgence only means a dollar or a
dime, as the case may be, is regarded
as a sufficient excuse TO spend the
money. Ii will take long TO acquire
fortune by laying up the odd pieces of
change. Yet many great institutions
derive their entire patronage from
dimes, nickles and even pennies. The
habit of saving means the saving of
the little denominations II is to
curb the inclination to spend money
simply because the denomination is
insignificant. Any one can save the
dollars. big bills and gold piece.
That the prodigal side, of man is
understood is found in the devices for
catching the pennies and the dimes
To Offset this and TO encourage him
TO- lay by portion of his earnings,
savings banks and the monthly pay
ment plan for real estate, property as
surance, &c. are in existence. Our
wealth is our property. In the pos
session Of property is centred o,n ma
terial well-being, our prosperity. The
habit OF saving. if persisted in. will
make all men possessors of property
The value of that property and the
measure of our well-being will depend
upon the amount OF our accumulatlons
and the measure of our desires. A
thrifty people is a contented people.
Improvidence results in want and suf-
fering. Habits of saving will contri-
butte to individual happiness and TO
general prosperity in proportion as the
habit of saving, thriftiness. becomes a
habit common to all the people.-Se-
