SAVINGS

Too much cannot be said
in favor of saving money.
If d perOsn's income is sufti- 3
cient to cover his require
ments and leave a balance, it
is of course, much easier to
save than when it is neces-
sary to do without certain
things which may be needed
in order to put aside some
money for use at q time
when it is no longer possible
to earn money, or if neces-
sity makes it seem 2dVisabel
to draw upon the reserve
fund.
No one can afford to eX-
pend all that is earned, be-
cause for practical purposes
that is spending more than
is earned. When all earn
ings are spent no provision
is made for what might be
called a sinking fund" to
equalize the lessening earn
ing power of a person as he
grows older.
Have you ever thought of
What benefit a savings ac-
1 peunt might be to you some
a1ay if you would start it
now and add to it persist

A man known as Parker has dis

beauty walk thru the woods. They
started at sunset but were overtaken
by darkness, while in the woods:
Then "Goddy" commenced to quote
from all the fairy stories he could
remember. Witches, hob COLLINS,
bears, wolves, lions and wild cats
were all before poor Godfred at the
same time. The loud cracking noise
the people of Madiosnville heard was
the knocking Of Godfred's knees.
No, Godfred, the growl you heard
was not that of bear, it was from
hog. The second noise did not
come from wild cats, oh no, it came
from pen of sucking pigs. The
last noise, the one which frightened
you so much, did not come from a
lion, it was only the roar of COW.

GROWING CROP CONDITIONS
NORMAL IN THIS VICINITY

From all reports, the condition of
the growing wheat crop in this vicin-
ity is normal, and but little if any re-
seeding will have to be done as the re-
suit of winter freezing.
Reports from the Weston neighor-
hood are that considerable acreage
will be reseeded where fields of grain
we're frozen out, and other sections Of
the county report loss from this source.
The fields to be reseeded. as rule,
were sown last fall with red chaff and
in some intances. jenkins club.
In the Athena district. proper, most
of the acreage was sown to hybrid No.
1873, and a splendid, healthy stand is
to he seen in the fields. Samples were
shown in town this week by j. N.
Scott, who last fall sowed thousand
acres of this variety. His samples
displayed more than ordinary stooling
propensity, while the color of the
plants gave evidence of strong vital
ity.
1t seems to be the general opinion
with Athena growers that hybrid wheat
withstands the rigors Of winter much
better than do the other wheat varie-
ties. At the local mill hybrid is pro-
nounced good milling grain. and
doubtless it will be the principal var
iety to be raised here.

of the boys from the army and their
fitting back into their accustomed
places in the community. normal con-
ditions will be resumed and the old

New York, where he arrived some time
in February, and his news was Inn
