DENVER MAN
+! LOSSES FORTUNE

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 23.-If
someone offered to sell you a mil
lion dollar potash lake for $1OC
cash would you take it? w. G.
Simonson, Denver attorney, did
MT, but he didn t know the value
, Of it. If he had he never would
have sold it in the first place.
l Mr.. Simonson owned 1000
acre ranch in Sheridan county,
Nebraska. He sold it to T. B.
Hord, of Central City, Nebr. On
one corner Of the ranch was a
1OO-acre lake.
"There is an alkali lake on the
corner Of that ranch, he told
Simonson. "You ought to throw
off 800 on the price for that. -
He added that the cattle couldn t
drink out Of the lake, or if they
did it would make them sick. But
Simonson refused to make any re-
duction.
"Well then, give me 800 and
I'll deed you the lake, Hord
said.
Simonson refused this offer al
so.
Hord therefore kept the lake.
Already from this lake a million
dollars worth Of potash has been
taken and the supply is not ex-
hausted.

mence to turn ourselves into a so- ciety for peace.
 "The Congressional Union was or ganized for but one purpose-'to secure an amendment to the U. s. Constitution enfranchising women.' Some of us as individuals are mili- tarists; some are pacifsts. We are united on but one ground--our fealty to political liberty for women. To work for this we have banded to- gether. Those who wish to work for preparedness; those who wish to work for peace, can do so through organizations for such purposes. It is not necessary for either group to use suffrage organization for their ends.
 Vote Imperative Now.
 "At our national convention the first week in March we can consider our policy. Until that policy is changed by action of convention our organization is dedicated only to the enfranchisement of women.

RAILWAYS READY 7O ID THEIR PART

Place Resources of Railroad at Disposal of President
 Wilson.

New York, Feb. 16.-The railroads of the United States informed Presi- dent Wilson today that the resources of their organizations are at the dis posal of the government in the event of war. The president or other of- ficials of IS of the roads were ap- pointed a special committee on na- tional defense which will work in con- junction with the commanders of the four departments of the United States w. w. Atterbury, vice president of the Pennsylvania railroad, sent tele- gram to the white house, saying this was the plan of the railroads.
 The committee organized today at a meeting of the American Railway associations executive committee, and will act under the guidance of Presi- dent Wilson's national council of de- fense.
 Members of the committee for the South are w. B. Scott, president of the Southern Pacific in Texas and Louisiana, chairman; B. F. Bush, re- ceiver for the Missouri Pacific, and c. B. Schaff, receiver for the Missouri, Kansas & Texas.

What the more progressive sui ragists of the country will do in event of war will be carefully con- ridered at the coming conventions of he National Woman's Party and the Congressional Union for Woman , uffrage. These conventions, which will take place in Washington, D. C., March IA inclusive, promise to be aistory-making affairs. In addition ,o framing a policy to be pursued by 5lffragists in the present interna- .lonal situation, tt Is proposed to ..erge the voting and non-voting women of the country into one huge organization that will press the fight ',- the passage of the federal suf- rage amendment with more vigor haI ever.
 Discussing the problems that lie ,efore the suffragists today, Miss Alice Paul, national chairman of the Congressional Union, said:

dom for women. Never was it go urgent that women have representa- tion in government councils. The re- sponsibility for the acts of our coun- try belongs to women as much aS to men. We must see that the gov ernment which has the power to de- clare war is responsible to women as well as to men.
 "We are continuing to stand guard at the White House gates to bear testimony to the government and to the whole country that women de- mand that they be consulted before any action affecting their lives is un@, dertaken by the government. /
 "We shall push with renewed vig our plans for our national conve. ton in Washington in March. H are sending an urgent call to X members in every state to join in :, great delegation to the President March 4th to place before him our insistent demand that no action on war or on any other measure be taken without the consent of the women.

to build up character and actually i-t- crease the income of the family-a point worth considering in these days Of high cost of living. We think the school: nave this definite opportunity to take a part in the solution of our big problem.
 T am q strorc believer in the school savings bank. and l want to see it STOW into something bigger. As far back as 1889 l established such a bank in my own school in the South.
 What l have in mind is logical development of the school bank. as illustrated by the work of school principal in Arkansas. This man is conducting in his school bank which is as nearly like the ordinary com mercia bank as he can manage. Not only does he receive and care for the savings of the children, but he makes investments for them. l understand that in this respect he has been very successful.
 "Not long ago the bureau published in cooperation with Mrs. Oberholtzer, who is a most active promoter Of schDol banks, bulletin on the school savings bank. Figures given in that bulletin, of course, are not accurate at this time, but it covers interesting ly the banks history and the methods of establishing them.
 "Onc of the points made in this bulletin is that the average boy or girl ought to have, by the time of graduation from elementary school, a capital of from S10O to $40O. if the school savings bank has done it's proper service.
 According to the bulletin, the first school savings bank in the United States was established at Beloit. Wis consin. in 1876. Another interesting fact brought out by the bulletin is that as early as 1879 Capt. R. II. Pratt, who founded the school for Indian children at Carlisle, Pa, started ill that school a savings system for the young Indians under his control. Out of it great many of the students, when they returned to the reserva- tions, bought clothes, trunks and all sorts of civilized equipment.
 'There ought to be- concluded commissioner ClaXton, 'some safe general investment for the money saved through the school savings bank. I have thought that school bonds ought to be made available. The trouble now is that it is almost inn possible to find an investment small enough and of unquestionable safety for the children to buy.'

tatlon, ard soma share in the things
 that appeal to the higher life.
 NOW, some one has got 10 pay for
 these-either the one who receives them or another It must be under
 stood that to receive these essentials rom some one else is to become s
 parasitic
 we want to impress upon the chill drcn few very simple facts about thrlIt, such as that saving leads to
 independence and self-support: that
 there is a real satisfaction in self support: that saving means the sort
 of self-denial which leads to self control that this habit of self-control IS essential to the saving which must precede the founding of any sort of profitable business; that it IS 3 patri- otic duty to encourage habits of say ing and thrift.
 we hear a lot about the wealth of our country, and we are extremely
 rich. but the fact is that we are really not above the line of poverty. No nation has ever been above that line. Let me explain:
 Are all of our citizens receiving the advantages of proper schools are they getting proper medical at- tention, proper nursing, proper feed 1 ing, the right sort of clothes, adequate
 and sanitary shelter? Are good roads and good streets provided for all of our people? Of course they are not. 1 This will suggest some of the work l that lies ahead of thrift teachers. i You can see why it is so necessary
 in a country like CUTS, to get into the
 minds of children the simple prin- ciples of economies, and give them some practical training in the use of
 money and in the habits of thrift.
 "There arc a number of things that
 we can do in the schools, and we are giving our very best attention to them. We can encourage tho work of the school savings bank. We are strongly commenting the efforts of the Aneri-
 can Society for Thrift in getting a great number of children interested 1 through essay contests.
 "One of the things we are intensely interested in just now is the encour- agement Of school and home garden ing, through the cooperation of the i teacher and the children. Nearly
 every home, especially in small towns and farming communities, has sur
 rounding it a certain amount of land that is wasted. We want to get this land into use, and we want to have
 the work done by the children. We hope to get, in every school, teacher to supervise these home gardens. "The object is not only to utilize I,; 1,,1+ o1c 4n not c problem of idle children If VIC can bring the idle child and the waste plot of land together, it will be possible

What is impressed upon children in early youth is pretty certain to come out in their mature years.
 "The reaction on the teachers who conduct these thrift contests is also worth considering. Thrift gets into their talk with the children and helps to create that general atmosphere of nrudence which we arc working hard to establish.
 "This is time,'' continued pr. Claxton, '..when it is particularly inn nortant to get Thrift convictions well entrenched in this country.
 Tt seems to me that our need for learning how to manage money is not only greater than that of any other country, but it represents about the gravest crisis that any country ever faced.

If we haven't already done so, we are in the way of acquiring habits of recklessness and waste which are bound to lead to poverty and grief for many of our people.
