on South street, has ventured into the

also money to be made from the sale
Of the oil obtained from the animals.

time The society has funds availa-

Adopt a
Plan

A definite plan is the foundation
OF success in saving.
1t doesn't make much differ
ence what the plan of saving is,
so long as it's systematic. Some
people never spend the dimes
they get-they put them in a con-
venient home savings bank.
Some men shave themselves
and drop into the bank the money
they would have to pay the bar
Der. Others walk to the Office
and save the carfare.
You can select any plan which
suits you. Regularity in your
saving is the essential thing,
One dollar opens an account
and starts your savings earning
interest. BEGIN NOW.
