About the Saosk Systsan a
Savines.

Our whole commonwealth is inter-
ested in the matter of impressing upon
the minds of the present generation the
importance of accumulating savings.
The Stork System of Savings is SO
novel and interesting that upon its
adoption in community everyone is
desirous of knowing what it is and how
they may avail themselves of its OPP
portunities. The P. Petersen Mercan.
tile Co., has secured the exclusive use
of the System for Julesburg and vicin-
lty, and its operation and benefits may
be briefly explained as follows: Upon
procuring the name and date of birth
of any baby born since Jan. l, 1909, a
deposit OF one dollar will be made in
the Citizens National Bank and regu-
larly entered to the credit of the baby
in the Stork pass book; the pass book,
with & miniature bank will be delivered
to the parents in name of the baby and
thereafter, the depositor will receive
per cent on all purchases of merchan-
disc from the p. Petersen Mercantile
Co., made by the parents or friends of
the baby by giving the pass book num-
ber.
! The fund so accumulated will insure
the child an education.
These deposits belong absolutely to
the child and in case of death or other
emergency, may be withdrawn by its
parents or legal guardian, the account
may BE- added to like any other savings
bank account Independent of the regu-
lar percentage on purchases and will
accumulate the regular interest as al
lowed by the bank on other savings de
posits.
The educational features commend
the idea to every good citizen, and
where in use is strongly endorsed as
an important factor in the up-building
of the community.
That large percentage of the grow
ing generation of children will be pro
vided with sufficient funds for an edu
cation seems like fairy tale but the
system will surely accomplish this re-
suit.
1t is fully protected under the new
copyright law of 1909 and is the great
est idea of the age for the education o.
the people in the Savings habit. -

A FINE FIELD FOR BOARDING HOUSES.

Mr.. r. B. Cousins, President
of the West Texas State Nor
NAL College, has just returned
from a trip to Austin and other
parts of middle Texas. He at
| tended teachers meetings while
he was away and had numerous
inquiries about the work of the
normal while on the trip. Scores
of young people asked about the
board, fees, etc.
Upon his return to his Office
he found a large number of let
tiers requesting information
about the proposed work of the
school and especially about
boarding facilities. There can
be little doubt, Mr.. Cousins
thinks, that crowds of young
people will come fiocking here to
attend school next September
The question is, what will the
people of Canyon City do with
several hundred young men and
women when they Gomez Who
will take them to board?
Canyon City offers the best
field for large private boarding
houses of any in Texas. People
who are of the righ) sort and
who have had experience in the
business and a little money to
invest should be invited to Can
pun City. Owners Of vacant
would do well to sell at
reasonable rates to people who
will come here and build houses
and help to take care of the
great body of students that will
be sure to come if the people of
Canyon want them and will pro
vide for them.
The Commercial Club should |
take up this question and see
how many students could be |
cared for at present and then |
proceed to devise plans neces-
sary for increasing this capac- |
ty.
If the people allow this matter

town to become congested, what |

we offer no apology, most of you

this water are plants which, by means
Of their roots, absorb water from the
