Looking Forward to the
 Future

A timely editorial appeared in The Commercial Appeal yester- day morning It warned the people of the Memphis Territory to look to the future, to feed themselves and to use their back yards for gardens. In this way you can at least exercise a meas ure of precaution.
 The great trouble is that we always looking to the future, the present does not satisfy us. Our hopes and ideels, whatever they may be, lie further on. We for get that what has passed is not more fixed than the certainty that what we will receive in the future will grow out of what has already passed or is now pass ing.
 The old English adage about a stitch in time saves nine grows truer the more we think of it.
 We must look to the future, not with the idea that it will bring us plenty, but we must look to the future wit hthe conf dent thought of what we can bring to our Ia.er days by our own efforts and endeavors.
 If we supply our back yards with gardens we will be Inde- pendent. In doing this we are preparing for the future and are not waiting to see what the flu ture has in store for us.
 The prudent man is the man who does not depend upon chance but who goes ahead and protects himself.
 At recent mothers meeting at the Idlewild School one gentle man told how his wife and little son last summer made $40 in the sale of tomatoes they raised in their small back yard, how they canned enough to last all through the winter and how they had sufficient supply for the table until the frost came.
 What one boy can do other boys can do.
 We must not think that the fu- ture is freighted with promise. If We do we are, in 9 cases out of 10, doomed to disappointment.
 God helps those who help themselves. The best prepara- ration teat We can make for the future is in the present, when we can well see what we should and what should be done.
 We are not permitted to have e knowledge of the things to come Therefore the prudent man shou d not only look forward to the future, but he should also prepare for the days to come. A arranged summer gar den in the back yard may save an awful lot of money during the winter months when the cost of living will be higher than it has ever been.-Com mercial Appeal.
