Class Nioht Tuesday.


Many interesting incidents happen

were entertainingly given by members
of the graduating class last evening
during the class night exercises.
The class history, given by Miss
Christine Huber, and the class poem,
by Paul Register, afforded much mer-

the fault of the author if members OF
the 1917 class do 10t occupy places
of great distinction in after years.

WHY YOU SHOULD SAVE
Government Figures Show That Only
Nine Persons in 100 Have More
Than 5000 When They Die.

For the young man who thinks It
manly thing to spend money freely and
who snecrs at the thrifty person
as "stingy" and "mean," here are
few facts that he may digest with
profit, observes writer in the Kansas
City Star.
Sixty-fve of every 100 persons 'dy.
ing in this country have absolutely no
estate; they die penniless. OF the re-
naming "a persons, % never accumu-
late more than $1,000 in their lifetime
and die with less than that. Only
nine persons in 100 have more than
$1,000 when they die.
Only two per cent Of the whole popu.
latlon may be classed as "well-to-do."
Tho other SO per cent Of the people OF,
this country have, only their wages
from day to day, or are dependent
upon relatives or, upon charity. or
every hundred persons who reach the
age of sixty-five no fewer than % are
partly or wholly dependent upon rela'
tives, friends or charity for food, cloth
ing or shelter.
These figures are not mere esti'
mates. They are taken from the gov
eminent census statistics and are ar
ranged and given out by the president
of the American Society Of Thrift, a
society organized by some representa-
tive business men who see real dan.
ger to our nation, in the American
tendency to wastefulness.
It will be seen from these figures
that thrift Is a virtue that needs to. be.
taught to young people. The boy who
squanders his youth In riotous living,
expecting chance or luck to bring him
a fortune later in life, should scan
these figures and learn that he has just
nine chances in 100 to ever accumulate
$1,000 or more, and If he is to be
one of the fortunate ones he must be-
gin early to save.

The disasters from river floods are
