Save Money

The saving of money not only means independence in the future, but 1t means better use of time in the pres ent
 Think this over today. Think of your own case. Look at the men about you who have money Remember that with few disgraceful exceptions among the gamblers. thieves and poli- ticians, the average man has money BECAUSE HE HAD THE STRENGTH OF CHARACTER TO SAVE. Even John D. Rockefeller has q thousand millions now BECAUSE HE WAS ABLE TO SAVE THE FIRST DOL LAR. IF HE HAD SPENT THE FIRST FEW DOLLARS HE WOULD HAVE SPENT ALL THE OTHER DOLLARS. AND WHILE HE WAS SPENDING THEM HE WOULD HAVE MISSED THE OPPORTUNITY THAT HAS GIVEN HIM THE MIL LIONS PILED UP.
 True, Rockefeller should not have those millions He WOULDN'T lave them if the other people of the nation eaualled him in concentration of pui- pose, if they took an interest in their own financial welfare and their own government. Let few millions of men develop the concentrated determina- tion of Rockefeller, and YOU WILL HAVE MILLIONS OF PROSPEROUS MEN. AND NO ROCKEFELLER
 As to how THE money should be saved. the simple recipe is BEGIN AT ONCE.
 The savings bank, of course, is the simplest beginning. There are other ways. The man who has the intelli- gence to select the means of making one dollar produce another quickly is, of course, the lucky man.
 All of us should watch for the op- portunities that are offered in this day of extraordinary commercial and other developments.
 The real estate field especially with wise selection, offers a very great op portunity. We shall impress con stantly upon all our readers, IN THE HOPE OF MAKING MANY OF THEM RICH, the fact that the problem of transportation Is entering upon an ab- solutely new phase.

OUT resolutions. But We can at least TRY. We can remain hopeful, earn est and this is the day for us to begin again.
 Let us question ourselves, accuse ourselves, investigate our weaknesses, recognize them. AND DETERMINE TO CORRECT THEM IN THE COM ING YEAR.
 Every man and woman must decide what she or he neeas, individually. With many of us lack of will power is ene great -procrastination, self indulgence.
 With others it is easy good nature, extravaganza. With others, various bad habits that sap the vitality which could mean success, not mere amusement or physical qualification.
 We recommend to you today res olution illustrated in this picture.
 Desiring to give the best possible advice to our readers we advise them most earnestly TO SAVE MONEY. Every man with child or any human being dependent upon him owes it to his sense of decency to save his money. For only money saved and accumulated can mean permanent safety for the weak.
 We do not advise saving merely for the moneys sake, merely for gratifi- cation or enrichment. To have money and have nothing else is to be poor indeed.
 But money MEANS INDEPEND- ENCE. Remember that the man whose dollar you must get from day to day is the man THAT OWNS YOU.
 And as long as you must deliver each day of your life for that mans dollar you do not own yourself.
