The Moral influence of Saving.

The Moral Influence of Saving.
Make all you can; save all you
can; give all you can. john Wes-
ley.
.'Extravagance, If not crime,
very naturally leads to crime
Hugh MCCULLOUGH. first comptroller
OF the currency.
The true measure of a mans
ability is the power to help Others
and to contribute to their advance
ment The effort to make money is
an important incentive to social ser
vice and industrial progress. =
Presidet A. T. Hadley, of Yale.
Saving has beneficial moral ef-
feet. but Extravaganza, as 1t usually
is acting a lie, is. essentially immoral
and breeds many other Irregularities
and sins. On the other hand, TEN
perance and integrity go hand In
hand with thrift. This course is the
harder one. but it is doing the hard
things that develops strength and
character.
Successfully resisting the tempta-
ton to extravaganza, at the same
time that II sttnens your mehtal anu
moral backbone. increases your ma
terial resources.
A savings bank account represents
more than SO much money saved. It
stands for purpose, decision, firm
ness. persistence. unselfshness, pru-
dence. forethought. courage, temper
ance. confluence. ambition and
achievement on the part of the one
vino has it.
The actual amount of money ac'
cumulated and earning interest for
you in such an account is a very val
liable. resource. but it does not ex-
coed in value the lifelong benefit you
will derive from the exercise of such
qualities of character as those men
toned.
Reckless extravagance is the pace
that kills. A fearfully large number
or men and women in this country
are today running a neck and neck
race with ruin in their desperate ell
forts to keep up with the demands
of fashion and foolish extravagance
Can you doubt that the opposite
course is the one more conducive t
the moral welfare of the individual

The Rev. DR.. James r. Day, the
able and eloquent chancellor 0t
ssracuse University. IN baccaL
Laureate sermon said:
The balance which self-denia4
holds in the home is balance or
prosperity and peace. Here woman
has her place and her ONCE. is she
equal 20 self-denial? Can she wait?
There IL nothing 30 persuasive. 50
Irresistible ,as the love Of man for
wife whom / he loves. No money Is
spent with so much Joy as the money
that goes TO her and the children
Happy, a thousand fold happy, is the
man whose wife loves him too much
too permit him to be foolish when
he should be wise, who Is 50 judicial

her domestic economy. as to add her

or coasenting to support. There viii
be two OF us. II can not earn as
much as you, can save more. we
will plan together. will be the
home side OF your life.
There is a division somewhere be-
tween expenditures that are wise
ana those which are foolish. Each
individual must discover that line
for himself.
whatever may be said OF the drink
habit, there is certainly point
where it becomes injurious. The
same is true OF smoking, and Of eat
ing. also
Amusements swallow up millions
annually A few afford pleasurable
entertainment and mental and phys
icaI reIaxation. The great majority
of them are vapid, inane and SHY
entaillng a waste of time and money
Fashion in It's ever changing forms
exacts its costly toll from the purse
or men and women. Vanity in end
less varieties demands a larger and
larger share of our earnings each
year.
Were il possible to direct the food
or wagteful and harmful, expendi-
lures into channels OF Legitimate pro- ,
ductive industry-to the furnishing
of comfortable homes. the production
OF food and clothing should
hear less Of the high cost OF living
and there would be less poverty.
but it seems impracticable by les
istation or by any sudden revamping
of human nature to make the mass
OF men spend money wisely instead
of foolishly. Yet each individual
can for himself Immediately examine
his expenditures, classifying those
that minister to mis- real welfare and
those which do not. BY diminishing
the latter, or by cutting them of al
together, he will be most sure of al
ways having at his command the
means OF satisfying mis- actual needs
and of expending his money in the
manner best calculated to the uplift-
ing Of himself and of others.

1t may not have occurred to some
OF those who are busiiy engaged in

PREPARING FOR
 NEW YEAR RACE

The fourth annual New Years day dog race will be run next Thursday.
 This race, which has become yearly feature in the sporting events of the camp is always looked forward to with great interest by those who enjoy lively short contest-one that does not require the ex- ercse of too much staying powers" The committee of the Iditarod Kennel Club who sclicited this citys share of the purse found ready response on the part of all ap- roached on the sub. .ect, and more than $2OO was subscribed within very short time
 On account of the splendid showng made in the recent race by Nels Glantz team, these dogs will be handicapped in the New Years event therefore 1t is necessary that Ill entries should be in by o'c,ock next
 uesday evening, in order to give the club $ han, Icappcr sufficient time to make suitable arrangements The rules of the l. K. C. will govern the race, and as they are ia miiar to nearly ali our people their re- printing at this time is entirely unnecessary.
 The boys at Flat City raised in the neigh 5~rhood of s100 for the purse, and the Discovery chaps, who always keep up their end good and plenty in events of this kind, but have been too busy to get out and gather in a similar amount, are going to get busy today.
 At present it looks as though the purse 7 tie New Years race will be at least
 50 S,.m sufficient to bring out the a-test running teams in the camp. In all .robabi ity the race will start at the usual hour-1 p. m.

 McIlhenny, the Louisiana millionaire, IS now here organizing group which will op- crate on a large scale throughout Alaska, and independent of the Guggenheims. This company will exploit quartz and placer on a gigantic scale. They are said to have ac- quired immense interests in various sections of the country, including the Idltarod and in the Tuluksak, which will be the begin ming of their placer work. They are also interested in immense quartz propositions, but they are maintaining a rigid secrecy as to these latter, although 1t Is rumored that they have been quietly endeavoring to ac- quire large gold-bearing rock mines in the vicinity of Nome and on the Seward penin' sula.

LITTLE EXCITEMENT
 ON THE BIG HOLIDAY

Christmas day in Iditarod was celebrated ,ery quietly. Many private dinner parties were given, but nothing in the nature of 8 public observance of the day was held. On Christmas eve messengers were in great de mand to deliver gifts. Nearly all the bus- ness houses made presents to their patrons, na it is doubtful if there was a resident of he city who was not remembered with gifts of some kind The spirit of the day vas manifest in the general good nature and pleasant greetings of neighbors and friends, and the cheery Merry Christmas vas heard on every hand. Altogether the ay was an enjoyable one, and the weather vas ideal.
 Many residents of the city took occasion to participate in the celebrations on Flat and Otter creeks, the weather being mild and travelling enjoyable.

Vasrant Who Escaped From Chain Gang
 Made Fortune in Alaska

Oakland Cal, Oct. 30.-In February, 1912, William Walker, serving three months on the Alameda chain gang for vagrancy, escaped with 30 days of his sen tence yet to run. Today he returned, mar ried and wealthy, and surrendered himself at the central police station. He explained that he haI ~ora to Alaska and struck 1t
