Geo. w. Snyder.

George w. Snyder, cashier of the
Topeka State bank, says:
1t IS my observation that with
the majority of children, money burns
hole in their pocket and they ap-
pear restless until they can reach
a candy shop or soda water fountain
ana OF course no one can have any
serious objection to the children
having some pleasure in this life and
the writer recalls what a pleasure it
was TO have an all-day-sucker or a
pocket full of gum-drops when he
was a kid, but if parents would in
still into their children the necessity
of saving at least part of their spend
ing money and stick everlastingly at
IL, there would not be as many back
door callers asking for bite to eat.
1t is often said, and / believe it to
De true that, it is easy to make money,
but almighty hard to hang on to it
and for those affected in that manner
guidance and advice should be given
the younger generation as to why even
a rev dollars should be laid away
for emergency purposes. There have
been cases where a child developed
an unusual tendency toward particu-
lar branch of study and had saw
ingS account been started early
enough, it would have reached such
proportions thai this same child
would have been able to specialize
and had career worth while, in
stead of becoming a day laborer as
has been the case.
ANY bank is willing to help chill
dren get started off on the right foot
and could the children take a peep
into the future, they would readily
see the advantage of having a snug
little sum to their credit in the bank,
but as it is so much more important
to them to run and chase and spend
the whole dime, when they have
dime that mothers and father should
take it upon themselves to educate
and even insist that at least a nickel
should be put into the little home
bank until a dollar or more has ac-
cumulated and then open a regular
savings account with the bank
It's surely worth while

Tine haDlt or saving should be one
of system and should be begun with
a strong determination to keep it up.
The grocer, butcher, gas company
and the landlord get portion of your
salary every pay day, and you should
put aside a certain portion of your
earnings into your savings fund for
future use, the improvement of your
condition, and the broadening of your
influence in the community.
The child should be taught to save,
as the future of the children depends
upon their knowledge of the value of
money. and no matter how small the
give the child a small allowance out
of which it may form the nucleus for
better things to come.
Many parents lay aside for the child
each month a stated sum, not to be
drawn until time to start to college.
when the amount thus saved with
compound interest for nearly twenty
gears will at least be enough to pay
for the first years course, and after
that the college boy is well able to
help himself.
The employee should save a little
from every check, for if he is faithful
his employer may give him the chance
to buy into the business later on. This
opportunity is generally given but
once. and may be the turning point in
ones career.
ALSO if you save regularly it will
not be long before you can make the
first payment on the purchase of a
home, and having once acquired the
savings habit, you will experience no
great difficulty in meeting the princi-
pal, interest. and tax payments.
''At the present time many banks
are using the Christmas Savings club
method of helping a vast number of
people to pay their taxes just before
Christmas. and in addition to this the
checks received help to bring joy and
happiness to great many, coming as
they do before the holiday season.
These clubs start early in the year
and as the weekly payments are very
small the amount is not missed at the
time, but appears as a very pleasant
surprise in the form of a check re-
ceived at the most opportune time.
DO not wait to accumulate one
hundred dollars before going to
financial institution to start your saw
ings account, for the temptation to
spend it is too great while you are
counting it over at home.
Begin with the small amount first
and it will grow to the one hundred
before you know it.
I'VE should always remember in
starting to save that effort always
brings results and the results of the
saving habit are very much worth
while

George A Guild, cashier of Central
National bank.

we will call it saving for Christmas,
with the final hope that you may
learn to save for your declining years.
Nothing is so pitiful a man who
has reached the age of seVenty-fiv

The Importance of educating chill
dren to save is being recognized all
over the world. Christmas is near the
childs heart. Let us then make
Christmas savings the object lesson of
the savings habit.

ton of the fact that it is more blessed

in its real meaning.
There are many reasons why To-
peka children should save money, and
they will find there are many ways in
which they can do so and be happy in
the doing. The different ways will be
suggested to all who sincerely wish to
save.
1T would be useless for one to at
tempt to enumerate, Us they would ap-
pear so commonplace in print, but if
they get results what if they are old
ways. "A penny saved is penny
earned is a trite saying, but its real
value is great to the child in the for
native period of it's life.
1T will be much better for each
child to map out a plan and then go
to it, than for anyone to tell it to do
this or to do that. Let each one be
independent and original if possible,
actuated by right impulses and using
reputable and honest methods"
