make one dime. ten dimes one dollar,
So the old adage goes. Small things
lead 10 great things. 1t is the small
things in life we should take the greatest
pains in. no matter how great our aims
may be. 1t Is the watchfulness oy6r little
matters that leads to success in life. In
other words take care Of the penny and
the dollar win take care of itself. The
lonesome penny being so small in value
causes lack Of deep consideration by the
majority of people, In which they commit
q vital error unconsciousIy. For instance,
to realize the value OF a penny. take four
pennies and board trolley car Offer
the four pennies for your fare TO the
conductor. What will the result be: The
conductor Will proceed to see that you
make your exit or give a good reason for
your remaining aboard bis ear. N5w, had
you possessed that lone penny the missing
penny, the one that would complete the
fare. a very embarrassing predicament
could have been avoided and you could have
travelled as independent as a millionaire.
simply by having the penny. SO. the little
penny. Insignificant as 1t Is, is one Of the
little things Of life which must he care
fully guarded.
Again, penny is the means sometimes
OF our securing positions. For example.
a penny buys The Call. The Call has
help wanted ads. One looks over the
ads. sees job. applies for it and is
accepted On what does that position
hinge.
Originally it hinges upon the purchase
of the paper by being in possession Of the
penny. Had there been no penny to buy
the paper there would have been no paper
TO look in FOR job therefore it is up to
us to take care of the little things.
especially the little pennies The pennies
are the small things Of life and need our
greatest consideration. And IT'S a penny
a day thai brings The Call to my bunk
Just think, a wee penny

cHILpREN NEED MONEY

Children need a little spending
money; they don't care what it is
called, as long as it will buy some
thing. states this man. His argu-
ments are pithy.
Penny Contest Editor: The Call is
more than all right on the penny ques-
tioh. Force the penny into general cir
culation here in California. Make the
penny respectable, that it be not looked
down upon and despised unclean
thing unworthy Of notice. Plenty OF
pennies Will mean innumersble penny arti-
cles put upon the market All sorts OF
eatables win be put up in penny pack
ages. A good cigar will be sold for a
penny A nickel's worth of pennies will
provide a spIurge for your five kiddies.
and the pennys worth Of candy will not
upset the digestive apparatus nearly so
much IL they each invested dime.
Children need little spending money
They don't care what 1t is called. just so
1t will buy something. They Ike to go
shopping. Then. again. penny can be
bestowed upon q tramp. or the heather,
without shame. provided II be not made
conspicuous by its rarity Furthermore.
The Call probably will force its eompeti-
tors also to become popular priced jour
nails. and we may yet ride on the cars for
a penny. including transfers. By ali
means, give US the penny. The only rea-
son we Californians have heretofore de-
ability to spend It. But with The Calls
campaign OF education and circulation Of
pennies, will rapidly pass into more
thrifty and saving age. and the penny
will be held in the same high esteem now
commanded by it In the great financial
centers Of the east

Pennies are certainly not lacking
for hackers. Just a glance over the
pile of letters from contestants in The
Calls big penny contest is proof posi-
tive of that
And every one of these letters is
filed with arguments favoring the
advent of the penny in San Francisco.
Arguments written by babes and
graybeards-and they're sound. too.
The ideas, we mean.
Last week The Call printed the
signed statement OF one of San Fran
cisco's leading merchants, Mr.. David
Livingston. Mr.. Livingston was the
first man to introduce the penny in
San Francisco, and today, after 20
years, he still has unbounded faith in
the little copper coin which he and
many others as well believe has come
to stay.
And The Call is going to have more
statements of the same character to
show what the men who know think
of the penny. and also that the state
ments may serve as a stimulus to
many persons who are still debating
with themselves as to whether they
should enter The Calls big penny con-
test
Here are a few samples of the let
ters that are pouring in daily:
