ENRIcHING OUR GRANDCHILDREN

THE average citizen would DENY vehementlv
L that he wastes enough in twenty or thirty
years to make family quite independent, even
wealthy in restricted sense, but it is never
theless true. The principle of small savings
with the ultimate almost amazing result, has
been lost sight of in this day of quick fortunes
for others. A person of even small income. can
without depr1ving himself, save considerable
sum by the time he has reached old age and
needs the money most. Almost every parent
longs to see his children well to do: but, receiv
ing only moderate salary himself, dismisSes
the thought with sigh. He fails to consider
the principle of small savings and compound
interest.
One cent day seems too small a sum to
bother to save: but if youns man of twenty
saves one cent each day and invests the money
at six per cent. interest, the total will be nine
hundred and fifty dollars when he is seventy
Years old
If the young man at twenty had started to
save ten cents each day, and invested the ac-
cumulation at six per cent, and had when
he was twenty-five, he could present to that
son on his forty-ffth birthday if he wished, the
tidy of ninety five hundred dollars.
Twenty cents day would amount to nine
teen thousand dollars Thirty cents saved each
day would have amounted to twenty-eight
thousand dollars, and forty cents day would
come to thirty-eight thousand dollars. Fifty
cents day would amount to forty-seven thou
sand dollars, while dollar day saved would
aggregate in fifty years the considera BILE fortune
of nnety-five thousand dollars, of which seven
ty-seven thousand would be interest.
1t will thus be seen that the saving of a
small sum each day would make the old age of
children free from worry, or make our
grandchildren wealthy, while the same process
if repeated for two or three generations, would
amass large fortune, though none of the per-
sons contributing to it had ever received a
large salary or, the other hand, made any
great sacrifices in order to save.

Too Big TO Land by Hook and Line,

Startling Experience.

New York--Captain Charles Penny,
Of Flanders, L. l., is probably the first
man who has successfully ridden a
bucking porpoise.
The porpoise was a big bull, head Of
a herd Of twenty, which had interfered
with the fishing of Penny and his asso-
ciates. They decided 70 shoot him and
did wound him. Then they found they

broad back Of the fish, twisted his feet
around his body and his arms around
the neck and hung on.
The fish found a new spark Of life
when this unlocked for enemy landed
on his upper deck. He gave a snort
and dived for the bottom Of Peconic
bay.
This did not brighten Penny, for he
is about as much at home IN the water
as the porpoise, and, as to speed, he
had attempted some of that on land in
running an automobile. He knew, too,
that the fish would have to come to

And now Kamiah has the county

secured and presented for the new
county Kamiah would be the county
seat Of the new county Of Kooskia, y
as the Kamiah boosters are wont to

are as follows:

serious objections from the part of the
citizens Of Idaho county if such a new
county was formed.

the first part of the year 1911, but we
do not believe this to be true. How

declaration Of prophesy, it will be true
We trust that the new creature will

How often do you
eat this food?

A short time ago there appeared in
the columns of one of the prominent
magazines an article on building brain
and muscle by the proper selection of
the foods you eat.
A good many people were surprised
to find oatmeal placed at the top of the
list of foods recommended; but if the
article had appeared in an English or
Scotch paper every reader would have
expected to see first place given to
good oatmeal.
As matter of fact Great Britain
and Europe come to us for tremendous
quantities of Quaker Oats because it
represents to them perfect food, being
the richest in flavor and best in clean
illness and purity, of all oatmeals.
Americans should eat more Quaker
Oats; the results would soon show
themselves in improved conditions of
health and strength. IS
