YOUR BANK ACCOUNT

Have you little money in the
bank? If not, why not? We will as
sumo, in the first palce, that you
haven't. Do you know that you are
depriving yourself of a feeling of
security that nothing else in the
world equals? The working man with
a little bank account, say, just enough
to tide him over for month or two.
isn't afraid of sickness or non-employ-
ment He is free man, and can look
his employer and every other man in
the face without the fear that, with
out the favor of the 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, or hap
piness. Rich men in their places.
their yachts and their automobiles
are no freer, no more Independent,
than the man with the bank account.
Every great economist bases his sys-
tenn of economy on the fundamental
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 luxuries. The net savings of the
year are the years sole earnings. The
bank account, however small, has a
peculiar way Of making a real 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. It's ten
to one bet that the man is penniless
and talks about the great thing he
can do, is bob-tailed flusher. Money
may be the root of all evil. Certain.
ly it is the root of solid independ-
ence, of character and golden happi-
ness, even though you have a very
small amount of it.

other business Of importance to that
session was transacted.

gin the work of laying out the pro-
gram. The Valley City association

early start which will be made. as
sures these four associations of abso-
lutely the best talent to be had.
According to present plans the
work of the boys and girls encamp-
ments is also to be given a wider
scope than in previous years. This is
recognized as one Of the distinctive
features of the Valley City work and

RESPONSIBILITY FOR ACCIDENTS

The Good Roads committee of the
Grand Forks Commercial Club has
watched with interest the progress of
a case involving responsibility for
a road accident into which rather
new element has been officially intro
duced. In a western North Dakota
county, when the roads were slippery
after a rain, an auto skidded into the
ditch, where it overturned, killing it's
two occupants, local farmer and his
hired man. There was no deep hole,
broken culvert, or other obstruction of
that character, but at the inquest it
was stated that the road was in a
dangerous condition by reason of its
having been made so high and narrow
that careful driving was necessary to
pass in safety when the earth was
dry. The coroner adjourned the in
quest in order that he might make a
personal inspection of the road at that
spot, the presumption being that the
findings would be influenced by what
he found. There is thus introduced
the principle-for the first time in this
state, it is believed-the principle that
there rests on the road authorities the
duty, not merely to see that the high
way is free from casual distractions,
but to provide road so constructed
as to be passable and safe under all
ordinary conditions. If this case should
reach the courts their attitude on the
point would have an important bear
ing in the entire highway situation
throughout the state.

HAD TO TAKE HAT
OFF TO HIS SON

In the September American Maya
zine appears a remarkable article en-
titled, youth Leads the Way" which
gives an account of the tremendous re.
cent advances in agriculture which are
directly attributed to the work Of
boys and girls who are members of
corn clubs, and other agricultural
clubs throughout the United States. In
the article appears a brief story of
Jerry Moore, of South Carolina, who,
at the age of Is, became world cham
pion corn grower. How Jerry's
achievement affected another boy is
told in the following extract from the
article:
"Dr. Bradford Knapp, who succeed
ed his late father as head of the Farm
Demonstration Service, tells another
story of reluctant parent: A freckle-
faced South Carolinian of the Young
Generation type teased for an acre, to
emulate Jerry Moore. But the father
thought there was some trick back of
Jerry's achievement. He at last con-
scented to allow the boy to grub an acre
near forest, pull the stumps, remove
the stones, and work it. u
when the crop was harvested, the
boys measured 80 bushels, and the
old mans adjoining, measured only
eight! Ever since then said Doctor
Knapp, the old man has been going to
farmers Institutes with that boy, sit
ting on the front seat and saying:
Look what me and John went and
done" But he is growing more corn,

world at large the announcement
about the glaciers is of more import
ance. When glaciers such as the Muir,
named for John Muir, the naturalist,
and the Mendenall, named in honor of
the former superintendent of the coast
survey stations, begin to move they
bring down great masses of earth with
their treasures of ore. Beneath the
ice of Alaska there is perhaps more of
copper and gold, silver and other prec-
ious metals than anywhere else in tho
world. 1t would be surprising if, in
the moving of mammoth glaciers, the
ripping of mountain sides, the wash
ing of hills and valleys there should
not be brought to view mineral veins
and placer gold enough to bring about
another rush to the north such as that
of Dawson or of Nome.
