Character has a commercial value.
/ wish every young man could real
ize that fact. Character, industry
and personal conduct have a cash
value at any bank. 1t takes some
people a long time to realize this
fact. and some never realize ii, but
it is a faet-suseeptible of proof in
any community. Most people under
stand that the business of the world
is transacted on credit-that the
banks are a medium whereby the
credit of one person is transferred to
the account of another person. Fer
instance: You owe me ten dollars
and pay it with a check on the bank,
take that check to the bank and de-
post it. The banker transfers ten
dollars to my credit. | give check
for that amount in payment of debt
I owe. and the bankers again trans
fers that much to the account of the
one | paid. and so on. If one has no
cash in the bank he has deposited Sc
curities there to back up the eheck.In
the value of these securities is
where your personal character, in
dustry and good conduct count For
investment purposes you can get
cash at the bank if you have good
character and the banker has conf
dence in your ability-the securities
you deposit have an increased value
when backed by industry and good
conduct. Every young man in every
community is watched and sized up
by the business men of that commun-
ity and as he grows to manhood he
is building up a reputation which is
valued in dollars by business men. A
good reputation has a commercial
value the same as stock in a prosper
Gus business. Make capital out of
YOUR reputation. Reputation has a
cash value. Increase it and you in
crease your working capital. Men,
fathers. impress this thought on your
boys. And remember that the loafing
boy who spends his time on the
street corners, and stays out at
nights. will have to have cash to
do business because his reputation
has no cash Value.=Eagle Pass

DOG MANS BEST FRIENoa MOI
Worst of Domestic Animals, Declares
Kansas AgrSculturist.

Topeka, Kan.-The dog, till now
credited with being mans best friend,
has been pilloried as the embodiment
of all that is evil in a string Of adjec-
tives compiled by F. D. Coburn, secre-
tary of the state board of agriculture.
This denunciation was called forth by
a farmer in Norton county writing to
Mr.. Coburn for advice on sheep rails
ing. Read an extract from Mr. Co.
burns reply:
Norton county in 1905 had 1,7O9
dogs and 152 sheep, increasing the
dogs lead IS the following year des-
pite the fact that no other county
would prove more profitable for sheep
raising. The dog is a worthless, sy-
cophantic, lawn-def1ling, flea-breeding,
f1y-snapping, porch-loafer by day,
equaled by no other domestic animal
in unspeakable habits of nastiness and
a sneaking, murderous coward, prowl-
ing all the countryside by night, har-
monizing with the harmless, benefi-
cent sheep only after the sheep is In
side his stomach, its wool in his teeth
and his jaws dripping with its blood.
And now the Norton county farmer
has doubtless learned how to raise
sheep and sees the foolishiness OF
raising dogs.
