SAVING AND SPENDING.

Every one can spend money; most
people can make it; only few know
how to save it, writes John A. Sleicher
in Leslie's. The difference between
the prosperous and the poor is largely
a difference in willingness or ability
to save. James w. Hebron was for
thirty years doorman at a fashionable
restaurant at 81 a day. Generous tips,
invested on the advice of prominent
Wall Street men who frequented the
restaurant, laid the foundation of a
fortune approximating a million dol
lars. John Busch, a young Iowa farm
er, six years ago rented an 80-acre
farm, borrowing $500 from a local
bank to buy stock. He didn't go in
for a good time. but attended strictly
to business. Being single he was his
own housekeeper. AT the end of six
years he was able to pay down $4,000
on a $4,000 farm, besides having
$1,000 in stock and machinery.

it lies in the path of Bridgeport's rap
idly extending munition plants. Jacob
Langcloth of New York, who came to
this country only eighteen years ago
from Germany, penniless, was able
upon his death to provide generously
for his widow and sixty-one employees,
besides remembering numerous public
institutions and leaving the residuary
estate of more than 100000 to a
home for invalids. Contrast with
these examples of frugality and fore
sight the case of a gay young man in
Plainfield, n. J., who inherited more
than 100000 and wasted the whole
amount in riotous living in two years.
Now he is compelled to support him
self and wife upon his weekly wage
of S12 as a draughtsman. Should
he ever accumulate anything, he will
doubtless appreciate his savings more
than he did the inheritance. So much
for the real breadwinners. They have
no use for the bread line or for bundle
day. More honor to them and their
thrift.

MORE GERMAN C1;EyERNrss.

At first glance, it would seem that
the German army, or the powers that
direct it, have finally bitten off more
than they can chew. They are at
tempting to influence future feminine
fashions in the direction of greater
economy in materials.t But the clever
ness for which official Germany is
now so famous also comes to the front
in this most perilous undertaking. The
powers-that-be in Germany don't pro-
pose to place a ban on this or that
feminine fashion. They're probably
so woman-wise as to know that such
endeavors would be futile. They are
going to use their influence on the
source of the fashions. The fashion
makers are to be cajoled or coerced
into putting out styles that will pro-
mote economy in the use of cloth and
in all other particulars And, of
course, whatever the fashion makers
may decree. their women patrons will
be most delighted to follow.

After Yellow Puff's narrow escape
from freezing to death in the snow he
was very careful where he went and
what he did-for few days. But as
time went by and nothing happened
to frighten him again he began to look
upon his escape as a wonderful ad-
venture, rather than a foolish act of
disobedience. And how he did brag
The other chicks could hardly stand
his airs and boastful talk.
How silly of you all to stay here IN

exclaimed to Downy White one cold

am not brave at all. 1 like to stay

that I am safe here. 1 wish l was
brave and venturesome as you are"
Now an answer of that sort was ex-
actly what yellow Puff hoped to get.
He puffed out his pretty downy feath-
ers and held his head higher than ever
before.
'If you would only follow my good
example, Downy White, you would get
over being such a coward Come on
and I'll take you out into the outdoors
now, and then you will get over your
fear"
Downy White shivered and then he
twisted his courage up to the highest
point possible and said, real quickly
(before he would have a chance to
change his mind, you seed, IAN right,
Yellow Puff. You take me out and
I'll try to be as brave as you were!"

THE MILK COW NINE.

Among the Safety First agents for
the farmer is the milk COW. AS J. c.
Mohler, secretary of the Kansas de-
partment of agriculture, told an au-
dience at Colby recently. she will help
to see the farmer through the seasons
whether they be wet or dry. If the
usual crops fail she continues as an
income producer; and if the crops
turn out well, her additions to the
farm exchequer are just that much
more. AS a matter of fact, a little
dairying and cattle raising as a side
line on every farm is only another
method of diversified farming. the
only kind of farming that pays all the
time. It isn't often get-rich-quick
farming, but it is the farming that
pays best in the long run.

3 And the big attendance that is
promised for the WillardMoran fight,
and at fancy admission fees, is not
to be attributed so much, perhaps, to
the prominence of the fight as a sport
ing event as it probably is to the fact
that New Workers are rotten rich"
these days, that many of them are
spending money as they never have

course. New Workers are great to go
