LEARN TO SAVE MONEY.
One Nssdn't Dc . Missr 70 cukIvsss
This Fine Habit.

This Fine Habit.
One Of the best habits that young
man can form is that of saving a GER
tain part of bis earnings regularly.
From the very first. when he has made
arrangements with father and mother
in the home or with his landlady az
to what he shall pay into the house for
his keep. he should make it the rule of
his life to put something, be it ever So
little, away from his weekly or month.
~ wages.
It's fine thing to he able to wear u
necktie that is artistic in its coloring.
a vest that is beautiful in its cOnstruc-
ton or suit that Is nObby and hat
that is up to date. But better than all
these is the consciousness of u bank
account, however small it may be, and
the feeling of satisfaction that comes
from the knowledge that if be IS taken
i'll he will not altogether be dependent
upon his fraternal society, his family.
his friends or the cold charity Of the
world.
But greater than the money that u
young man can save Is the character
that he is establishing. Miserliness.
stinginess. greed, are to be abhOrred.
but prudence and carefulness in ex.
penditure are graces which, cultivated,
make man power in the commu.
nifty and give to him character which
commends itself to all.-Exchange.

FLOOD
 MOVES RARGEs

How twelve thousand tons of coal were brought down the Ohio river last summer by fleet of harges on the crest of an artificial flood" is told in the November issue of Popular Mechanics magazine. Never before in August had such an event taken place on the Ohio, and it happened only because one man had stepped ir to aid nature in the undertaking. The Ohio river is always at extremely low water around the month of August, and boats drawing much more than couple of feet of water normally are tied up.
 But the United States Army Engi neering corps, wishing to demonstrate the supreme value of the river as aA artery of traffic in war time, stepped in with an Illuminating demonstration of what can be done even in the weeks of scant flow. Dams holding back pools long the Big Sandy, the Kan awha, and the upper Ohio rivers were opened a few weeks ago and surplus water was allowed to run out.
 An artificial crest of from three to six feet was formed, and on the crest snubnosed argosies carried the fuel so urgently needed. Without the pres. ence of the dams which the govei n lment has already completed, this movement could not have been mad..
