lit is said THAT
Prosperity ruins
Mem quicker than


He couldn't stand prosperitye' How
many human wrecks do you know that once
held honored positions or were making money
hand over fist out of their own business but
who allowed prosperity to turn their heads,
and as an inevitable consequence fell by the
wayside?
If things are prospecting with you that is the
time to take firm hold on yourself and build
solid foundation for your future.
Don't think because you are making good
money now that you will be able to all your
life, and that you afford to let the future
take care of itself. Far from it. You must
plan for the future or it is likely to hold UNI
comfortable surprises for you.
Husband your money carefully. Save all
you can. Put it in this strong bank where it
will earn go compound interest, until you
have enough to invest in some enterprise that
you are convinced is absolutely safe and more
profitable
Don't let prosperity ruin you.

CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, February 13.-Big receipts
northwest and lower prices in foreign
markets acted today as a weight on
wheat. The arrivals credited to Minneap-
oils and Duluth were nearly double those
Of year ago. Increasing world ship
ments and cheaper offers from Argentina
formed the chief reason at the bottom of
the weakness shown in the cables and
were equally effective here. The opening
was Is to AaA down. May opened at
1.O2k to 1O2zs. drop of 3s to aaA and
fell to 1.O21s.
Corn declined and buying was only OF
a scattered sort. May opened 1saN to
Aas off at 6ss to 6Sh and slid down
to 6S1sa6S,4.
Oats proved relatively steady. There
was a fair amount of purchasing on the
part Of commission houses and not much
selling pressure. May started unchanged
to " lower at 521a to 52M and held at 52aas.
Absence Of demand appeared to be re-
sponsible for a backset in provisions.
Sellers were in the majority. Initial
transactions varied from Saturday
nights level to ~ below, with May OPP
tons 1915 for pork. 925 for lard and
S.75 for ribs.
