YOUR BANK ACCOUNT.

Have you little money in the bank
If not why not? We will assume in
the first place that you haven't. Do
you know that you are depriying your
self of a feeling of security that nothing
else in the world equals? The working
man with little bank account, say,
just enough to tide him over for a
month or two, isn't afraid of sickness
or unemployment He is a free man,
and can look his employer ia-the face
without the fear that without the favor
of that employer or that friend, he
would be reduced to desperate straits
to make ends meet. The bank account
is the breeder of self-confidence. of
efficiency, of happiness. Rich men in
their palaces, their yachts and auto
mobiles are no freer, no more indie
pendent, than the man with the bank
account. Every great economist bases
his system of economy on the funda-
mental fact that it is not what is made
that is the foundation of fortunes, but
what is saved. A man has earned in
years time, just what he has at the
end of the year. The rest has gone for
expenses whether for necessities or
Injuries. The net savings of the year
are the years sole earnings. The bank
account, however small, has peculiar
way of making man of it's owner. It's
pretty hard to stand up straight and
defy the world with nothing to back
up your bluff but two or three meals
ahead. 1t is ten to one bet that the
nan who is penniless and talks about
he great things he can do is bob
allied fiusher. Money may be the root
If all evil. Certainly it is the root of
solid independence of character and
golden happiness even though you have
/ very small amount Of 1t.

Secretary Garrison said there is no oc-
casion for hysteria or fear of compulsory
services. When the garrisons in Hawaii
and at the Panama canal were manned
he'said the mobile army in the United
States would number 5000 men. Mr.,
Garrison. said that in his opinion the
regiments should be increased to their

thereby making mobile army of 5000
men ana that congress should make pro
visions for 1000 additional officers
Need of Trained Reserve.
'"The National Guard, the secretary
said lis still far from what 1t should be.
We must get a reserve of trained men in
the states, reserve of army officers to
command the men. We should have the
truth told in the public schools. The
scholars should be told of our years of
travail and prepared to deal with the
problem of defense in later years"
Mr.. Garrison asserted that 1t would be
of infinite value to have the thousands
of enlisted men annually discharged from
the army and the resigned or retired
officers where they could be found and
recalled to service in the event of their
being needed
Mr. Stimson said Americans should be

Gated that the standing army be Increased

coast artillery, and TO more than 100 900
