Teach Children Thrift.

Thrift is very important element
In character. Those who learn to be
economical in youth have no difficult
ties when they are responsible for the
income necessary to maintain a home.
1t is the man or woman that allows
want to dominate and lives beyond
the income that has difficulties when
the income is small. Children should
be taught economy and thrift early in
life. They should be given a chance
to earn and a chance to use their
earnings. This will give them respon-
sibility and teach them the worth OF
money.

THE ADVANTAGE OF OWNING A
HOME IN NEW ORLEANS.

If you are thinking of a home to
buy,
New Orleans is the place, I'll tell
you why,
It's healthy, for its balmy breeze
Blows from the gulf through piney
trees.
It's noted for it's corn and grain,
It's cotton, rice and sugar cane;
A salt mine near, and sulphur
springs,
In fact it has most everything.
A harbor for ships near and far,
A line direct to Panama.
Forests of trees and sawmill towns
Around this city can be found.
Orange orchards, pecan groves too,
Fig and pear trees, mot few
Vegetables of every kind
You will in this city find,
In winter time instead of snow,
Grass and trees and flowers grow,
There are many reasons, so 1t seems
Why we should buy in New Or
leans.
The best there is the Homestead
Plan"
Which gives a chance to every
man.
The money that you have spent
Enriching some other man for
rent,
Will help you buy a little home
That some day later you will own.
There's no disgrace in poverty,
But, oh, the need of charity!
Avoid it. friends, and only try
The Homestead Plan your home
to buy.

Length OF the Law"

Scandal -mongers are to be found in

could say the meanest thing about
one who was not present to defend
himself? As general rule, IL a man
has grudge against a fellow. and
feels that he owes him something, he

him. instead of sneaking around
