To The Forum: The new baby has
just arrived. There it lies with its
tiny bald head cuddling closely in the
hollow of the mothers arm. 1t is real
~ a fine baby; unquestionably the in
est baby that ever was. Such a
plump, shapely little body, such a well
shaped head, such bright eyes that
already show unusual intelligence! The
mother fondles it's tiny fingers loving
ly and plans great things for it's future.
Her mental vision is keen and she
can already follow her sons progress
through the various stages of his ca
reer. In school he is always at the
head of the class; in college (for of
course he will go to College) he car
ries off the highest honors; in a BUS
mess of his own, he prospers and be-
comes a great and wealthy man, and,
last of all, is ser to congress, then
to the senate, and perhaps even be-
comes president.
How clearly she can see it all and
how proud she is even now in antici-
patton!
Savings Account Is Best.
Best of all, this dream may all be
fulfilled. 1t rests entirely with the
father and mother to give the new
baby the right start in life. The start
Is everything. Put the little baby's
feet on the right road, guide him
gently with a firm hand, and when
he cal walk alone he will not disap-
point you.
The best start a boy or girl can pos
sibly have is a saving account. You
may have wealth now, but by the time
the child is ready for college or bust
ness your money may have taken
wings. Then your boy or girl will lose
this chance.
Begin right now and put SIS in the
bank every month for the baby. That
Is only $1.25 a week, and no matter
how small your salary you can spare
that much for baby's sake. Keep this
up steadily until the child is II years
old and he will have more than $1,700
in the bank to make the first real
start in life for himself.
It may seem impossible for you to do
this just now with so many extra eX-
penses, but try it for a few weeks, and
| you will find it quite easy. If, however,
you cannot save SIS per month a " 50,
| or even 81. It really does not matter
much about the amount. The one thing
essential is the bank account itself,
BY saving 81 a month, Carnegie, when
a boy, got his start in life, and can
now spend millions.
Child VIII Help Later.
Talk this over with the child when he
is old enough to understand and you
will find him ready to further your
efforts and to add to his bank account
whenever the opportunity offers itself,
How many times do we hear men ex-
planning their. dad luck'' in business by
saying: 1T is all my parents fault;
they never taught me the value OF
money. I was never made to ave q
4 penny in, my life" Not very pleasant
for the father and mother to hear, is
it, especially If they have not ben saw
ers themselves and are dependent or
this son for support?
Young father, talk this over with
your wife; you will find her ready and
willing to cooperate with you. Start
a savings account today for the baby
Lay the foundation for his future. II
there are two babies, start two ac-
counts, mi in this way sow the seeds
that will in later years, enable you tc
reap an abundant result.
