THE OLDEST MAN
DID NOT DISPLAY
VERY MUCH THRIFT
Example Of Kentucky's Oldest Man Is
Set Before Young Who Are Urged
To Save Their Funds.

A short. time ago, a man in Ken
lucky celebrated his 13lst birthday.
He celebrated 1t by exhibiting himself
at county fair ito raise money to
pay of the mortgage on his farm"
What terrible record of wasted years
that celebration completed. After a
life Of endeavor more than double that
of the average man, he was reduced
to exhibiting his gray hairs and In
frmities to settle portion OF his
debts.
There can be no other reason for
such necessary than lack Of thrift and
saving. He undoubtedly had strength
and health above the average or he
could not have doubled the span Of
life. He must have had uncounted OPP
portunities. The development Of his
state and the nation has forced thou
sands such into his path. Yet he OBJ
viously did not seize or take advant-
age OF them, through lack Of thrift.
1t is not unreasonable to suppose
Z
that he earned more than mere liv-
ing throughout more than half his ex-
istance. Had he but practised regu-
lar saving throughout a portion OF
those years, he would have been SO
far removed from poverty that mort
gage on his far mwould have been an
absurdity. Few will refuse to con-
cede that it was possible for him to
have saved so cents a week during
half his life. That sum deposited al

ings Stamps from the time he was q
until he reached 66 would have given
him approximately $3,264.13 more
than enough to have lifted his mort
gage.
Instead of being assured of life

without financial cares he has strug-
gied on for SO years after for the bare
necessities of existence. The road Of
thrift which may perhaps have been
more difficult a hundred years ago
has been made smooth for present day
investors. There are few citizens Of
this country who cannot save some
thing every week. The government

how large or how small.
