THE MAN WHO STAYS RIGHT.
Is the Man Who Tries and Does Live
Within His Means.

Somebody lately asked the St.
Louis chief of detectives what type
of man it is that goes wrong most
frequently.
His answer showed him to be a
shrewd observer. He didn't even try
to answer the question directly.
There is no particular type" he
said. But there is a clear type of
man who is never in trouble, how
ever. This is the man who lives
within his means, who saves a part
of his earnings each day and week
and year. 1t does not matter how
much, just so he lives within his in
come and saves"
Now there's good sense.
There is type of man who goes
wrong. 1t is the man who lives only
for today and who gives tomorrow
no thought. 1t is the type of man
who lives beyond his income so long
as he can find credit, and when cred
it is gone "borrows" from his en-
ployer-taps the till.
To save part, even a small part,
of ones earnings is to do more than
just to lay by little money. 1t is
to avoid the class of expenditures
that leads by the pathway of dissipa-
ton to the abyss of crime.
Even thrift is not enough in itself
to make a good man. A thrifty man
may be mean, greedy, gasping,
stingy and even crooked.
But thrift is a sound quality, too
little practiced, and one that it pays
to cultivate-pays the individual and
pays the community.
The spendthrift's money has the
wings of bird and is ever on the
flight. The thrifty mans money
gets into tidy little wads in the bank,
where it is available for business
and industry.
The spendthrift is no benefit to
the community, may easily be a nuis-
ance, and often becomes a menace.
The thrifty man attends to business,
lays by little, buys himself home,
invests in sober, decent enterprises,

WILL HELP SELL STOCK.
". Il. Barney, State Dairy Commits
siCner Offers Services of His
Department.

Owing to the heavy demand on
Iowa now for grade cattle, w. B.
Barney, state food and dairy commits
sioner, is offering farmers the serVi-
Ces of his department in selling their
cattle. He is sending out letters to
breeders asking them to notify his
Office what cattle they have for sale.
1t is his idea that a big market for
grade cattle can be developed in Des
Moines.
The proposal to make the office
of the food and dairy department a
free bureau for SAFE of stock will go
to the farmers in the agricultural
Journals to be published this week.
One county of New Mexico has
agents in Des Moines buying dairy
cattle. So far four carloads have
been purchased. The prices paid av-
erage from $50 to $120 each. In ad-
dition the buyers are taking pure
bred bulls. The New Mexico men
will take 100 cattle at this time. Lat
er they will return to take 400 more,
they told the commissioner.
Reports were received that there
are cattle buyers from Texas working
in Iowa county, purchasing Angus
cattle.

GOOD NEWS.

Older BUT STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
znent of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger wher older, keep your

Question at Issue.
THE question" says the Lokal An
zeiger. was not one of granting favors
to British goods and interests, but
whether it was possible to give greater
protection to the justified interest of
neutrals without abandoning in princi-
pie a method of naval warfare of DEM
onstrably greatest efficiency against
the British enemy"
The Lokal Anzeiger and other
papers, therefore. greet with satisfac-
ton the German proposals. laying
stress upon the statement that they are
of a practical nature. The hope is ex-
pressed that the United States will
consider and appreciate the sacrifices
which Germany makes in the use of
this, its most effective weapon of
war against Great Britain. Tor the
sake of continued peace and friend
ship with the United States, and the
fact that Germany's wishes regarding
the on-transportation of contraband
on protected ships were not even pro-
posed as a condition. but as an appeal
to the fair play of the American peo-
Pile"
A general survey of the editorials
would indicate that the German gov
eminent, II negotiations ShOuld con-
tinue, will have far less difficulty with
the press in arranging a settlement
along such lines than the publicity

Expects Complete Understanding.
Capt Persius. the naval expert of the
Tageblatt, says that the note shows
that Germany will follow her present
course with the greatest regard to
Americas interests. He expresses the
belief that the note offers the basis for
complete understanding with the
United States.
America" he declares, has chance
to show devotion to the principles of
humanity by guaranteeing that no con-
traband be carried on passenger ships
True humanity" he concludes, re
qu1res that America stop the munition
sales. which are postponing peace"
The Tagliche Rundschau and the
Kreuz Zeitung express dissatisfac-
ton with the concessions regarding
new ships under the American flag de-
claring that Great Britain would be
certain to initiate any special marking
in order to disguise it's ships carry
ing contraband and thus render the
task of submarine commanders more
difficult. The concessions in this regard
