George. My sister Mayme has a old

Would you kindly advise me how I
could meet her without flirting, as L
know a few girls with whom she is

tn HE experiences of Mr.. and Mrs
R. R. Hankins of Los Angeles,
Cal, who lost all their savings
by not depositing the money in saw
ings bank, ought to be a warning to
anyone who is taking similar foolish
chances.
The savings of two years of married
life, the fruits of many privs tons and
denials. which were to be used in pay
ing for little home, were taken away
by the ruthless hand of a thief. The
savings amounted to $500, mostly in
gold.
TIE money was in a little box hidden
in a bookcase. Often the husband had
cautioned his wife to place the money
in a bank, but nc one knew the money
was there, she reasoned, not even her
husbands parents, with whom they
lived, and it was far safer And so
every week Sle duueu a lew pieces VI
gold to the hoard and visions of the
little home grew brighter.
Every morning when the couple
awoke Mr.. Hankins looked at the
bookcase to see that everything was
safe. One morning ne discovered that
the window was open, the books were
lying on the floor and the money gone.
The matter was reported at once to
the police, but detectives. who were as
signed to the case, have vet no cleW
to work upon. a reward of $500 was
authorized by the loser.
The building on the little home is
stopped, and unless the money is re-
covered the house Will be turned over
to the builders.
The couple both declared that they
had learned a dear lesson. They will
now start to save again, but each week
their savings viii be recorded in a lit
tie bank book issued by one of the
very large and strong savings banks
for which Los Angeles is noted.
Similar examples of the folly of dis
trusting banks occur frequently in all
parts of the country. None of them
would occur if everybody realized that
the number of depOsitOrs who have
lost anything through a bank failure
in the United States, as compared with
the total number of depOsitOrs is so
enthusiastically small that it scarcely
can be figured at all.

WILL NOT SERVE ON
STATE PROBE BOARD
Austin Fontenot Announces
He Is Unable to Serve
on Commission.

Hon. L. Austin Fontenot, of
st. Landry, has announced that
he will not serve on the state
probe commission. He informed
the Governor of that fact in New
Orleans last Monday evening.
when it was rumored that Leon
Locke, of Lake Charles would
probably be Governor Halls sec
ond choice.
Mr.. Fontenot was defeated by
representative Bauncheaud, of
Pointe Coupee, as a candidate
for member from the House on
the probe commission. Governor
Hall thereupon chose Mr.. Fonte-
not as one of his appointees.
The St. Landry man gives as
his reason for not being able to
serve on the commission as too
much legal work during the next
couple of months, when some
very important cases, which he
is handling will come up before
the district court.

COILS p.

A Connecticut boy-one of nine children
born in 1921. His parents were poor but
thrifty. At a very early age he was COM
PEELED to do such work as he could. Ex-
cepting four months in the year, when at
school, he worked hard all the time. He
was "A years of age when he went to
work for a neighbor. at 81 per month and
board. At the end of the year he had
saved all the money thus earned. At the
age of 81 he had saved enough money to
go into the general merchandise business
with his brother. When the news Of the
discovery of gold in California came,
he drew 81, 200 from his business and
started west via the IsthR1us of Panama.
For want of shipping facilities he. with
many others, was detained on the Isthmus
for three months. During this time he
traded in commodities and made $4,000,
to add to his original 81, 200.
He located in Sacramento and engaged
in the hardware n miners supply busi-
ness. In a few years he had sufficient
capital to undertake uniting the two
coasts with a railroad.
To his untiring efforts are we indebted
for the first trans-continental railroad.
He amassed a fortune OF over 50 million
dollars.
