GOOD, SOUND
ADVICE.

1t is the young men and young
women of today with practi-
cal education, who will adorn
our hest homes in the future.
1t is the manager and finan-
cier who is practical one.
II is the young man with
good habits who has a hank
account, who shows evidence of
becoming a financier.
It is the young woman, who
trains herself with the duties Of
home work, that will become a
manager.
1t is the observing, the prud-
ent, who will be the practical
one.
The majority of oul young
friends of today are beginning
a the wrong end. Instead of
beginning at the bottom and
training themselves for t Ii e
future, thereby making accumu-
lations by patiently and stead
lily sticking to one issue, never
deviating from the one purpose
and establishing a good charact-
or besides, they begin, as it
We're, at the top, with ideas that
are obtained by lack of proper
training, and in the course of
time find themselves where they
should have begun years ago,
What a Young man neglects
before his tlirtieth birthday, he
can never redeem.
1t is the early dollar saved
that is the valuable one in later
years, and the earlier one be-
gins the sooner he will have a
financial standing.
The dollar judiciously invest
ed at the age of twenty, will
have accumulated at the age of.
sixty about sixteen dollars,
whereas the dollar invested
III like manner at the age
Of thirty, will have accumulat.
ed at the age of sixty only about
eight dollars.
The most Important thing OBJ
tanned whilemeeting with finan-
cial success is an established
record, which is worth far more
than wealth. A young man
with a record is sought for
everywhere. There is plenty of
loom at the top. The demand
is growing ever in these string
ent times.
These self made young men
and young women are not as a
rule among our so-called society
people. Society encourages ex-
travagance and dissipation, and
that means ruin more or less,
sooner or later, morally, physic- |
ally, and financially.

In Cooper County, seventy-five
years ago N. Leonard started the
first herd OF pure-bred Shorthorn
cattle. That herd became known
as the Ravenswood herd. It has
been kept up ever since, ownership
passing down through three gener-
ations of the Leonard family. The
Ravenswood farm has increased in
size until at the present time it in
cludes 2,200 acres.
Out of this herd of pure-bred
Shorthorn cattle have come indi-
vidual cattle that brought prices
among the highest ever paid for
single animals. From 1t came a
herd exported to Argentina by J..
H. Miller of Peru, Ind. One of the
descendants of the exported herd
won the national championship at
Palermo in 1913 and afterwards
sold for $4,000 pesos or $3S,9SS in
gold.
