LOVE STORIES

Not long ago we heard very intel
ligent man, while addressing a pre-
sumably intellingent audience, make a
preposterous statement, which the au-
dience seemed to believe. This state
ment was that the great novels were
prominent because they were great
love stories.
OF course this mans intelligence
had occupied itself with politics and
economics rather than with literature,
or he would have known better. A
god many people who would know bet
ter If they spent less time at a bridge
table, and considerably more in a IL
brary harbor the notion that counting
and wedding are the prime subjects
of imaginative literature.
1t would be nearer the truth to say
that the great novels are preeminent
because they are not love stories.
Take any college presidents list of the
worlds greatest imaginative literatcre,
and a strict analysis of it would yield
perhaps five per cent love story-un.

A TOWN WORTH WHILE

There's town called Don't-You-
Worry,
On the Banks of River Smile,
Where the Cheer-up and Be-Happy
Blossom sweetly all the while.
Where the Never Grumble flower
Blooms beside the fragrant Try,
And the Meier Give-Up and Patience
Point their faces to the sky.
In the valley of Contentment,
In the province of Twill,
You will find this lovely city,
At the foot of No-Fret-hill.
There are thorofares delightful
In this very charming town,
And on every hand are shade trees
Named the y-Seldom-Frown.
Rustic benches, quite enticing,
You'll find scattered here and there
And to each a vine is clinging
/ Called the Frequent-Earnest-Prayer
Everybody there is happy,
1 And is singing all the while,
In the town of Don't-You-Worry
On the banks Of River Smile. :.

How Some People Save

anu uentlst may be uncertain ouanti.
lies at tunes yet these ned not he ax.
cessive burdens as ageneral rule. An
apportionment should be made for life
insurance and thesaving bank no mat.
Ter, now small the latter may be. A
great many people set aside a def,nite
amount for each class of expenditures
ana try at least to keep within the an.
preparation.
Practically every competitor in the
lcontest confessed that they started
thelr financial success with a savings
pank account. 1t was small in MANY
cases, but grew steadily. The man
VINO starts out to save will astonish
even himself with hesults he never
anticipated. It is the small steady
saving that count.
Some people divide the weekly wage
into parts, setting aside enough for
each class of expenditure, while others
make the apportionment and keen an
expense account as a guide to determ-
inc howe they keep within or exceed
their allotment.
To pay each bill out Of its particu-
lar compartment in the family cash
box is sometimes impossible. and the
simple and effective way is to merely
keep an expense record, and il the
expenditure exceed the expectation
curtailmnt or readjustment is in or
der.
Lastly, many who have acquired
property have done so through the
medium of a debt incurred-helpful
debt, such as mortgage, building and
loan shares. installment home buying
etc. But look out in mourning such
obligations that they be within your
powers to fulfill, and the values con
sentative. Don't hitch up to more
than you can pull.
