poor picking when you take his

Ask the banker: Would you go

Years ago a Western concern
organized a bank and offered the
stock broadcast. 1t was a clever
scheme a good scheme. and a
profitable one. 1t had much
merit and should have come to a
better end. But it was too good,
and the promoter could not stand
the prosperity it brought him.
Two hard working miners got
interested and sought the advice
of their banker. He advised
against it. But it pays ten per
cent. and you only four; and be-
sides, they say the stock will
double in value in a year." Yes
all that may be true said the
banker, "but you're not strong
enough to take the risk and fol
the possible profit you can't
afford to chance probable loss
They went in and in less than SIX
months the bank went broke, anc
the miners nearly went broke

day that stock lies somewhere ir

happens when you go against tht
advice of your banker.

SCHOOL NOTES

We wish the readers of these
notes a prosperous and happy
New Year.
Elna Petersen came back to
school Monday after an absence
of nearly a month due to illness.
Most of the pupils who were
sick before the Christmas vaca-
ton have now returned to their
work.
The Board Of Education went
to Bruno one day last week to
inspect the new building there.
We understand they were well
impressed with the building.
Thorvald Clausen and Alexan-

half he earned. The secret may
have lain with the wife, or with
him, or with both; but the result
was there just the same. What
this man did you can do. He
stuck close to the bank: bought
his home and paid for it by de-
grees, carried a fair amount of
insurance, never tried any
schemes, and held fast to what
he got.

compound interest grows apace;
but if you work it too hard, il
will, like the faithful old horse,
keep going for a time, but
eventually fail you. Do not try
the impossible. Four per cent
with safety is better than ten pei

principal trying to bet big in

of two things: principal or in

TAKE THE PROPOSITION TO
A BANK MAN

Unless all signs fail, the one
certain result of the European
war is going to be a general
stimulus to American industry.
Our mills are running to full
capacity; our crops are bumper
ones; our hanks are gorged with
money; our people employed at
good wages and constantly
shorter hours, making things for
Europe to eat, and wear and
shoot. We shall have great pros

the thousand will follow the wake
of prosperity, all seeking to
separate you from your money.
The warning is particularly
opportune now: Beware the
promoter.
If you are offered any scheme
to make money, take it to your
banker. If it offers over six per

HOLD FAST TO WHAT
YOU HAVE.

YOU HAVE
Ii there is anything more
pathetic than the man who never
had home, or friends, or money,
it is the man who had a home
and did not appreciate it; friends
and couldn't keep them: money
and lost it.
The world is full Of derelicts,
and every town has it's has
beens" who once were had and
could not keep. 1t is a sad COM
mentary on human life that men
must work and sacrifice and save:
practice thrift for years; accumu-
late a competence, and for one
reason or another lose it all, and
begin over again worse by far,
except for the experience.
Men who were once citizens
of affiuence will be found in the
bread line, sleeping in the parks
at night, living on relatives. in
the poorhouse, selling shoestrings
on Broadway, when by better
management they might have
been in comfortable circum-
stances.
There are two principal reasons
why men lose what they have
acquired:
First, by being an easy mark, =
lending to friends and relatives
and unable to say mo- to q
request for help or an allurinq
proposition. Second, the desire
to make money fast not by
gambling, but by trying to get 8
large income from a small prin.
cipal. The stories of men who
have acquired considerable
money, and in the desire to make
it grow fast have lost it all
would fiji a book, and no caution
is more opportune than this,
Hold fast to what you have.
| A few basic and common-sense
rules will, if persistently fol-
lowed, save those who heed them
many a pang of regret:
First: Do not lend your
friends. Friendship loans are
bad; it is a delicate matter tc
ask for your money.
Second: Never endorse a note
for anybody. More losses and
business disasters have come
about through lending ones name
to promissory notes than per.
haps any single cause. If you
want to help a friend and have
the money to spare better make
a gift outright and forget it than
try to deceive yourself that it il
a loan. If you can't keep your
friends without lending them
money better lose them; friends
are easier made than money.
Third: Put your money in a
good bank and leave it there.
Experience have proven that the
average man can do no better
than bank his money, for in max,
| ing private investments risk
attends and loss often follows,
There are thousands Of, good
banks, and one is no doubt in
your town, and bank books are
mighty good investments.
| Fourth: If you accumulate
enough to warrant private in
lvestment be satisfied with five
per cent, and never aim to gel
more than six. Danger lies be
yond six per cent.
| Fifth: Experience has again
proven the country over thai
first mortgages on improved
property at not over 50 per cent
of q fair market value is the most
satisfactory form of Investment
land yields the highest returns

In some Of the upstate towns which
voted license the number Of appiica-
tons is very large. If they voted
license regularly as does bennington
they would probably learn that the
liquor business is not tho bonanza that
it was formerly considered. Here in
Bennington the number Of applications
is only equal to the number OF licenses

business has not been conducted at a

that was Mrs. Walsh's life had ended.

tire of her, Mrs. Walsh told her only
confidant, after she deserted her hus-

letters telling of her intentions, one
of them to her husband, but there
was no word for her two children
