There is habit common among
the young men much more dang
erous than it appears and which
may lead to results extremely
disastrous-the habit of borrow.
ing money. 1t is a habit con
tracted with ease and oncestarted
there is no knowing where it will
end. "A few dollars are borrowed
to please some passing fancy
with every intention of returning
the loan in a short time. But the
thoughtlessness which caused
the purchase of an article beyond
ones means likewise allows the
interval to elapse without any
provision having been made to
meet the obligation. Perhaps
half the debt is ready, but more
money is borrowed from another
friend to complete the amount
and so it continues Indefinitely.
Soon a number of debts are con-
tracted and however small they
tend to burden life and make it
unpleasant and almost invariably
leads to dishonesty. Young men
with small salaries should by all
means avoid the habit. To do so
will necessitate perhaps many
sacrifices, but no dangers are run
in living within ones income.
And, besides, the habits of econ.
omy and frugality learned when
the income is small, will bear
fruit in abundance when it is
larger. 1t is a safe rule in youth
at least to borrow not"

Why should a community go
forward? For the very good and
simple reason that if it does not
go forward, then it is going back
ward. With cities or states, as
with individuals, there is no
middle ground, there is no stand
ing still, they are either alive and
growing and developing with in
creasing conveniences and activi-
ties, becoming more worth while
all the time, or they are marking
time, slowing down, losing vital
ity, live citizens leaving thsm,
values decreasing trade decreas-
ing and on the quick road to be-
ing dead ones". No city or
state can rest on it's oars and
hold it's position. The minute
rest begins and it's activities
slacken, that minute decay sets
in. Modern active men demand
modern active cities with modern
government. modern convent
ences, modern health facilities
fully equipped cities, up and COM
ing. The kind of men that cities
want naturally seek their own
kind and get into the live cities,
with live men. It's the citizens
that make or break a community.
The right kind of citizens would
build a city in the middle of a
desert if they decided to do so
and organized for that purpose.
Organize and make your city and
state what you should want them
to be. Brains plus energy plus
organization, totals success.

the Bottom

Educational, Novel, Thrill
ing Greatest Piece of
Photography Work
Ever Shown.

The Bijou will feature in the
near future From the Bottom of

triumph was just released by the
Imp. Co. Monday, Nov, Goth, and
is costing the Bijou management
a good round sum for the one
days rental. This Aim is one of
the most magnificent triumphs
ever scored by any film company.
1t is educational, it is completely
novel, and is more than that, it is
indescribably thrilling from
start to finish. Through the
courtesy and cooperation of the
United States Government the
Imp. Co. is enabled to produce
this neutrality-suspicious.. Uncle
Sam loaned one of his torpedo
submarine boats and it's crew,
and let the stage director have
full sway in the evolutions of the
boat. The photography is per-

the U. S. sailors and officers
gasping for breath in the SUBJ
marine boat which has been sunk
through treachery, when you see
one of the actors Gmpersonating
a U. S.Naval oficer)shot through
a torpedo tube that he may send
for rescue; when you see the
rescuing party pumping air into
the boat at the bottom of the sea
when you see these and other
features of the thrilling plot you
cannot help but pronounce it as
one of the greatest pieces OF
photography ever produced.
Watch for dates of this special
feature, which will be some time
the middle of December.

found floating islands, which are enor-
NOUS RATS of bamboo oyerlatd with
earth and bearing on the surface Of
the water pretty houses and gardens.
They are, in fact. aquatic farms, bear
ing crops of rice and vegetables. The
rich bottom mud, utilized as an artif-
cial soil, Is extremely fertile and yields
bountiful harvests, though on a small
scale. In a country where there is a
lack of available land the floating
plantations are most serviceable, large
sails being attached to the dwelling
house as well as to each corner Of the
island whenever 1t is desired to move
about. After gathering a crop Of
grain or garden produce from his farm
the floating farmer casts his nets into
the water and from their depths brings
up a supply of fish for his family.

there was a slight deficiency in the
thickness of the rough concrete in
places. Owing to The long delay in

This Moves In Chess,

In the number of possible moves
chess stands alone among games, and
not only is it perfectly safe to say that
no living man has ever made even
nee every possible move, but 1t is
highly improbable that in all the cen
turies of the history Of the game has
every possible move been made. The
different ways of playing the first four
moves on each side are SO numerous
that If every man. oma and child
in a city Of half u million population
were to set to work playing them at
the rate Of four moves a minute night
and day it would be more than a year
before any one would be able to leave

MOTORCYCLE COP HITS
BOY ON A BICYCLE

A young boy, whose name could
not be ascertained, was run into and
knocked down by Mounted Police
man William T. Hartmann, on his
way to the fire on his motorcycle this
morning. The youth was riding his
bicycle across State and Smith
streets, running directly in front of
Hartmann, who was going at a fair
clip. But for the prompt appliance
of the brakes of his machine by the
officer, the boy would have been Sc
riously injured, being thrown from
his wheel as it was. More scared
than hurt, the boy jumped on his
bike and proceeded up New Bruins
wick avenue.
