Spending Money.

To keep money. set it down as an in
variable rule that you will never try t.
get something for nothing.> That is tn,
commonest way. that a fool and hi
money are soon parted.
To sum up:
Do not oyer estimate money.
Learn to appreciate money for iti
real worth toward human happiness.
DO not buy anything until you haye
the money to pay for it,
Never borrow.
Never lend unless you can afford to
lose the sum you lend.
Never go on any ones note.
Be generous. but not spendthrift.
Be careful, but not stingy. q
Never join company in having a
good time, going to an entertainment
or an excursion, without knowing first
that you can afford it. And when you
join it be sure to pay your share.
Do not accept gifts, as rule, unless
you are able to return their equivalent.
Be straight, scrupulously exact and
honest, in all money matters.
Start bank account.
Keep little money in your pocket
and learn how not to spend it.
In all money dealings Insist on a
clear understanding before you enter
into any agreement.
Keep account. keep account, keep &C
count Of every cent that comes and
goes, even in money you get from your
parents.
By just being careful in these affairs
you will save yourself a world of un-
happiness.
A boy that keeps no reckoning'of his
money is undertaking to walk through

that appeared in last weeks issue.

things in the Wendell district Is
plenty good enough. Mr.. Pcake

The Farmers Association.

Since time immemorial it has
been said that farmers could not
unionize and combine for the pro-
motion of their mutual interest,
that such associations always break

good. The North Side Canal Users
Association has proved to be the
exception to the rule. This asso-
citation was formed for the purpose

with other railroad facilities the en-
tire North Side tract will be in a
position to enter into an era of pros
perity that will exceed the widest
dreams of any of our citizens.
In view of these things, why does
the Irrigationist maintain its posi-
ton of opposition to- the one thing
that will bring about such Il great
future for this tract? Even though
Mr.. Clark is personally distasteful
to the editor of that paper and
granting that the policy of that pa
per is controlled by people who
have no interest in WendellS flu
ture, it still seems that it would be
the part of wisdom and of business
sense to not antagonize every person
here who has the welfare of the
community at heart. We don I
say Mr.. Clark will build the road
but it is very obvious that Mr..
Clark is the only person who is try
ing to build it and he should receive
our unanimous support as long a. he
conducts himself in a creditablt
manner. The Irrigationist, in it:
support of the electric line for Lin
coin and Gooding, at the expens'

OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM.


The close of this school year will |
mark new era in the history of
our public schools. The shacks
that have been used for school
buildings for the last two years will
be relegated to the past and forgot
ten and school will be opened next
fall in thoroughly modern and
up-to-date building. This will be
another mile post in the path of
progress in the campaign that the
settlers of this district are making
for the subsection of this desert and
the making of it over into fruitful
land of productive farms and pleas
ant homes.
Two years ago there was not Il
dollars worth of taxable property
in the district, now there is nearly
5000 900 worth. Such progress rs
this was never known in the settle
ment of the Mississippi Valley
states, and i only possible in a
country with SO many natural adj
vantages as this. That it is posi-
BILE to build school building cost
ing upwards of $40, 900, giving the
school population of Wendell dis
trict superior educational advant-
ages over that enjoyed in like com
munities in the east which have
been settled a. long as fifty years,
il a condition of which We are just
