DRAWING OF JURORS

The manner of drawing the jurors
is very interesting and strange to the
uniformed.
City clerks, township clerks and SUI
pervisors send in ten or fifteen names
from their respective districts, of
qualified voters and taxpayers, to the
county clerk Immediately after the
assessment of the previous year. The
list of names are then placed in box
by the county clerk in the presence OF
the sheriff and two justices.
The jury in Gratiot County consists
of 80 jurors who serve one term. They
receive a salary of $500 day and

When Buying Luxuries Consider How Old
You Are.

The July American Magazine includes
the beginning OF new little department
called Family Finances" in which vii
appear short articles dealing with tbs
moeny side of family life in its variou:
phases. The first little article in this
department is entitled, "When Buying
J.uxuries Consider How Old You Are
Following is an extract from this little
article:
Zone day young man 25 years of age
told me that he had just fallen heir 10
$500. He was going to spend the whole
sum on a pure luxury. He said that 81
500 was not much money anyway, and
that he might as well have good time
with it-even though the-good time last
ed only little while.
"When / told him in a general way
that he ought to save that money ] made
no impression on him. But when | ex-
planned TO him how $500 invested at 6
per cent, and compounded annually,
would double in ~ years, he began to
wake up. At 81 he would have 5000,
at 40 $4,000. and at 81 $4,000. The
$4,000 at 81 would be yielding him ST.
200 year--a little more than his pres
tHb cdldi y
Il had aroused his financial imagna-
tion TO the first real work il had ever
done--so far as ] know. He hung onto
that money and invested il at per cent.
II told him that when he is 81 and has
that $4,000 maybe somebody else will
give him $500 and if so TO go out and
spend IL If he wants to. Money spent
at 81 by a man of some means is not
like money spent al 25 by young man
Of no means. The man at 81 has com
paratively little chance left for his pile
70 grow. In fact by 81 he is supposed
IN have his pile.
Always when contemplating Injuries
consider how old you are before buying.
The price of luxuries is much higher in
early life than later. II is very high in
youth. II you want some comforts and
a few Injuries in old age control YOUR
