We do not know just what the per capita wealth OF the United
States may be, but did it ever happen to strike you that most Americans
are chronicaty broker
In spite of all the optimistic reports of the savings banks and the
postal savings institution and the building and. loan companies, most
Americans ART always broke"
The majority of savings bank and postal savings depostorS are
foreigners.
Foreigners have cultivated intensive living.
They have conserved the energy OF agricultural lands; they have
intensified their habits of living; they have an Unborn faculty for thrift.
And why?
Because the necessity OF saving has been beaten into them n a
sterns chool-povery!
In the homes OF many native Americans thrift is scorned because
it is considered a sort of neghborhood disgrace to be poor.
If Willie Jones' papa gives him a dime any time he wants 1t, John
ME Smiths daddy has just naturally got to do the same.
Willie and Johnnie straightway exchange this none for 1uxurns
and repeat the touch the next day.
The thoughtless expend tue OF small jums OF money is OF the
chronic symptoms OF this American diease-of being broke"
And being broke" is not a vocational malady; it attacks tn nan

ONCE

Beware of the person who is continually telling you OF the good
he is doing.
Something about that man is not right
He has some reason for desiring to make you think him better than
he is.
He either wants to work you into something. or he wants to reach
someone else through you.
The man who does deeds of kindness, prompted by a heart which
is right, seldom tells OF them. He might mention to "a intimate
friend, perhaps, but then only incidentally.
The man who gives, not because he really wants to do so, nut be-
cause OF some selfish desire, will never get credit any higher than
his W roof tree. His desire for effect and his insincerity make him
a a to be avoided-never trusted.
Look out for the man who wants you to turn his grndstone.

SPARKS DEVELOPING CIVIC PRIDE.

The year 1916 will see the city OF Sparks further advanced than
any previous year since the town was founded, says the Sparks Trib-
une. 1t will be a revelation to those who have been away for some
time and return here at the end OF the season t o note the many i'm
provementst that will be made in the town this summer
improvements already made, many that have been started and
more that re to come will all make up a sun total OF civic improve
ment that will mean a vast difference in the appearance OF the city and
will tend to frmer confidence in the future of Sparks.
New homes have been, are being and will be erected in the next
few months. At least one substantial permanent Improvement will be
seer in the business District, and or are to follow.
The main street will be completed within a short time and will
present a splendid boulevard for the traveller. Lateral streets VIII re-
ceve attention. New bridges and culverts will be installed where
necessary. Private homes are rapidly being turned into beauty spots
and the entire appearance OF the city is undergoing a magical change.
A new school house is proposed and the plans will be submitted to
the people for approval. The conditions in the railroad are splendid
and everything points to a continued activity in that direction.
Sparks is O n the path of progress with both feet firmly planted in
until it becomes the second city in the state in most things and the
first in a good many ways.

people boost for their home state. If there is nothing else, they boost
the weather. Don't you know that if a state is fit to live in and is
chosen as a home in preference o other places, it is worthy Oil being
boosted! Any person, man, woman or child, who cannot do at least
that much as a tribute to loyalty, ought in all reason to fod his tent
like the Arabs and steal silently away to some other state that he
thinks is worthy of good, wholesome praise
