ATLAS BUILDING AND
LOAN ASSOCIATION

The records of the Probate Court
of New York show that of 10000
persons above the age of rs dying
last year, only 1851 left any estate
whatever, and only SS4 were worth
100000.
Sc per cent. of them left no estate
whatever.
25 per cent. left estates which av-
eraged $1,292.0O.
8 per cent. left estates of over
100000.
This is rather sad commentary.
$500 out of the 10000 died without
having accumulated anything for
their families, without building or
buying home, without having laid
up any money for a possible day of
privation or want.
Bring the matter home to yourself,
take an inventory of your situation,
and then make your decision. If
you are in the 66 per cent class,
pause, There is absolutely no rea-
son why you should remain there.

of the Atlas Buildin~ and Loan AS

method of saving your money that

place you in the 9 per cent class,

gate the plan of the xtlss Building

Packard, Cartoonist, at City Hall To-
niuht

Alton Packard, the famous eartoonist
and humorist, who comes to city hall
tonight, transfers to canvas much
that he sees upon the streets.
In st. Louis not long ago a n,ischiev-
Gus breeze lifted a large and gorgeous
specimen of millinery from the head of
fair lady, bore it aloft and rapidly
down the street. Packard saw it COM
ing, caught it on the fly and quickly
returned the gay bunch of fuss and
feathers to it's thankful owner.
That night the audience Was laugh
ing uproariously over cartoon de-
plotting a new style of aeroplane, like
a feminine headgear. with mere man
dangling from it.
The noted eartoonist is constantly
besieged for souvenir sketches and au-
tographs, but the climax was reached,
Packard thinks, when a lovelorn maid
en- wishing to embroider a handker-
chief for her lover, asked the cartoon
list to design for it a bleeding heart
of pansies around the words Hearts
LoYe." Packard pleaded too busy to
tackle the Bloody job, but suggested a
border of spoons around the word

programmes, All of which" he face

cartoonist tonight. but thanks to the
size of city hall there will be room for
