what the boy on the turtles back does
for the turtle.
The turtle does not like it, but he is
made useful in spite of himself.
The man who keeps his head up and
fights against difficulties does not like it,
but in later years-when others are poor
wage slaves taking orders and he is the
man GIVING the Orders-he is glad that
he had fighting courage.
For this beginning of the year we shall

When you read the lessons in books,
or take in through your eyes and ears the
story that nature has to tell, does this
mental food turn to mental fat or mental
muscle?
1t is mental muscle that holds up a
mans head, keeps his courage working
and prevents his sinking into the mud of
failure and h0pelessness.

The men who take the trouble to think
might wish that in another sense they had
some power. riding on their backs-a
force like ambition-strong enough and
persistent enough to hold their heads
above water.
Almost every human being starts in
life with his head held high. He means
to do something and be something. and
contribute his share to the work that men
do in this world.
His head is up, his glance is straight
ahead, and he believes that he will keen
his head up until the last day, when his
chin drops and his eyes clOse-to STAY
closed.
The trouble with nearly all of us is we
get tired. Ambition becomes weary. no
longer drives us, and no longer holds up
our heads.
You can see the men around you that
are beginning to sink; the courage is
gone out of them. They have Joined the
class of those who talk about '1uck."
They are getting ready to join the great
army called 'th0se that do not amount TO
much"
The question for us all is, How can we
keep out of that army of failure?
You can ask yourself one question that
will test you, and the question is:
ARE YOU MAKING MENTAL
MUSCLE OR MENTAL FAT?
Almost fifty years ago w. X. Clifford,
the great mathematician, put that ques-
ton to the young men who heard his lec-
ture at the Royal Institute.
He quoted to them Herbert Spencer's
Principles of Biology. He made them
understand that the mind eats and digests
like the body.
And he impressed upon them, as
we now impress on our young readers,
the important fact that the mind should
develop mental and moral muscle, just as
the body develops muscle.

Y the Southern seas, where
they have big turtles,
powerful enough to carry
a man, you may see In
life what you see in this
picture.

The boy catches the turtle asleep,
climbs on his back, with his legs just be-
hlnd the turtles flippers, and goes for an
exciting ride over the salt water.
The turtle would dive if he could.
But the boy who rides him has in his
hands stick.
He holds the stick under the turtles
throat, keeps his head in the air, and the
turtle cannot dive.
His method of diving is first to put
his head down and then send the big,
heavy body following the head. If he
cannot dive in that way, he will not dive
at all.
1t is very amusing for the boys who
ride the big turtles, steering them, and
finally, after good ride, setting them
free.

Very dull and uninteresting are the big
truths in life. But, dull as they are, they
alone help to solve the real problems.
Here is one truth:
If you get out of debt
And stay out of debt
And begin to save, however little
THE MATERIAL SIDE OF YOUR
LIFE PROBLEM WILL BE SOLVED.
If you can keep your head up in re-
gard to money matters and debts, if you
can look straight ahead without fear of
meeting the eyes of some man who
OWNS YOU because you OWE MONEY
TO HIM, you can look without fear into
the future that worries so many Of us.

1t is a matter of congratulation
that the student body of the county
high school is to be guided and di-
rected in educational advancement
by Mr.. A. b. Lightfoot, wisely en-
gagged as principal by the board of
education. 1t will prove no expert
ment. Mr.. Lightfoot is an educator
of experience and his ideas and
methods are known through the good
work he has done throughout the
state as deputy superintendent of
public instruction. To the principal
ship of the county high school he will
bring his thorough training, ripe
experience and practical and sensible
ideas. The school was in need of a
man of his type and future results
will prove the wisdom of the choice.
There will be progress, wise and just
discipline and mutual respect OF
motives and endeavor. There will
also he action, as Mr.. Lightfoot is
not one inclined 10 laxity and laggard-
ness when Things can be obtained by
going after them. The increased at
tendance at the school this fall OF
students from the outlying districts Is
enc proof of the new principals
methods of keeping the educational
machine working to capacity. Thu

spicously, a large attendance in a
fine new building and with a princi-
nal in charge worthy of the name.

THE BANKS AND
THEIR DISPOSITIONS.

(By Eugene Hector, Financial Editor
of the Chicago Tribune..)
: There are a few plain things which
the people who have money in the
banks, more especially savings banks,
should understand. The banks are
asking thirty and sixty days notice
before paying deposits in full as a
of self-protection and also
in the interest of the depositors
themselves. 1t is wrong to think
that a bank can or should pay on de-
mand all the money that it owes Its
depositors.
II it could do that 1t would be a
warehouse and not a bank and would
not be able to lend money or to pay
interest on deposits.
On the contrary, IL 1t We're a ware
house the deposition would be re-
luired to pay for the privilege OF
putting his money in a safe place,
just as he has to pay for the use OF
a safe deposit box. That is the kind
Of an institution a bank would be IL
Il were in a position to pay at once
all the money that 1t has taken In.
Suppose a bank be started and
have 100000 deposits. Being a

bank II undertakes II serve the
community by lending out a part of
this 81. 900. 900. 1t may lend $4,000
of this sum to those in need of credit
to carry on business. 1t accepts the
notes of the borrowers and may also
have additional security. These notes
are presumed to be as good as the
money loaned on them. But when
the bank has loaned $750,000 of it 3
81, 600, 900 deposits to borrowers, it
has placed the money out of its own
reach for thirty days, sixty days,
ninety days, or possibly six months.
That $4,000 cannot be returned
to depositors until 1t has been paid
back to the bank by the borrowers.
That is the reason that a bank can
not pay every depositor on demand
all the money that it owes him.
When all the borrowers have repaid
their loans, then the bank can pay
its depositors In full.
lue OF u D8uk lies IN llS
ability to lend to John Jones to help
him in his business the money which
John Smith does not need in his and
has deposited in this bank. The
money loaned to John Jones brings in
sufficient interest to enable the bank
to pay 3 per cent interest on savings
deposits.
Requiring sixty days notice before
out savings deposits enables
o bank to collect at least a part of its
loans.
But In panicy times the sixty days
serves a still better purpose. |
is a guarantee that every deposition
will be treated alike. No one can 60
TO the bank ahead of o and get
your money, nor can you go to the
ahead of any one else and get
his money. The money of all is kept
safe and all are treated alike.
This should give the greatest de-
greece of confidence and comfort in
stead of creating a disturbed state of
mind.

see floating upon the surface of the
sea of human fate the huge sill
houette of a nude woman. She is
with her beauty, her poise, her smile,
her jewels-a super-Venus. Nations
rush madly after her, each of them
eager to attract her especially. But
she, like an eternal courtesan, firts
with all. In her hair ornaments OF
diamonds and rubies is engraved her
name, "Commercialism". AS allur-
ing and as bewitching as she seems,
much destruction and agony follow
in her wake.
And behold, she has three gigan-
tic arms with three torches of uni
versal corruption in her hand. The
first torch represents the fame of
war, the second torch bears the fame
of bigotry and hypocrisy, and the
third torch is that of the law.
'The great conflagration will start
about 1912, set by the torch of the
first arm in the countries of South
eastern Europe. 1t will develop into
a destructive calamity In 1913. In

The end of the great calamity will

The Norwegian steamer Gottfried
has been blown up in the North sea
by a floating mine. Eight members
of her crew lost their lives.
The captain of the trawler and
three others were picked up from
floating wreckage and brought into
Shields by the fishing boat Norden.
Officers of the latter say they were
alarmed all through the night by dis
tant explosions which followed each
other at intervals from 8 p. m. to 4
a. m. At about 6 o'clock in the
morning the lookout on the Norden
sighted and picked up a man floating

crowd of Belgian refugees has grown
to $500, has taken on the aspect of
a human stable. The floors Of wide
foyers are all covered with straw,
which has become wet. and the home
less and poverty-stricken people may
be seen lying about. many in attitudes
of sad detection. Trained nurses of
the Red Cross, priests, soldiers and
doctors are constantly moving among
the crowd, m~inistering to their wants.
At the entrance to the hall a large
cask containing beer was placed and
a soldier % was apportioning the
beverage to a waiting line of men
and boys.
Inside the amphitheater were chill
dren of all ages, sizes and descrip-
lions. The scarcity of baggage was
noticeable, everyone apparently hav-
ing taken only the few things that
could be carried easily in their hasty
flight. The evening meal consisted
of huge slice of bread with a piece
of beef on the top, and afterward
