SAVE YOUR MONEY"

(By lin OWSley.)
If you had saved in days gone by
When you could and wouldn't try,
Half of each dollar that came your
way
And layed it by for rainy day,
Things you wish for now in reason
You could buy in due season.
Now is the time to start, today
Put some of the salary you earn away
Then when hard times in his daily
walk
With you ever try to talk,
You can give him a scornful look.
The world can say what it please,
But you can rest at ease
When you've got FAT POCKET
