Did you ever stop and figure just
where and what you will be 10, 20 or
40 years from now-your chances for
success based on your present way of

starting out in life at %. Each one

FRENCH KEEP UP THRIFT HABIT

The termination of the war has not
served to turn the solid citizens of
France from habits of thrift or from
investment in government securities.
Figures show deposits in the French
government savings banks increased
340,000,000 francs in 1918 and will set
record never before approached be-
fore the end of this year. At the be-
ginning of 1919 the deposit balances
of these savings totaled $3.50, 1000, ,00O
francs.
In the first nine months of this
year, deposits exceeded 100000, ,00O
francs, eclipsing all records in the
operation of the government savings
institutions. This record was made
in spite of heavy Withdrawals for pur-
chases of French Treasury Bonds, RE-
sembling in part the Treasury Saw
ings Certificates and Liberty Bonds OF
the United States government. These
bonds still are selling in France at the
rate Of abillion francs month.
L. A. Sanderhoff, of Owosso, has
filed a petition in circuit court asking
for the dissolution of the Owosst
Land Co. and the Owosso Investment
Co. The reasons for the desired dis
solution, he states is that neither com
pany at present is doing business.

FIRE CHIEF SOUNDS WARNING

Chief Howell of the fire department
sounds warning to everyone to use
the greatest of caution, that the city
may continue to avoid serious fires.
He points out that with the severe
weather prevailing, people are apt to
become careless in attempting to
warm their homes and stores, and
permit their furnaces or stoves to be-
come overheated.
He also points out the danger Of
fires from sparks dropping on dry
roofs and urges that people keep
close watch of their homes while firing
in the morning. He urges them to be
particularly alert when their Chin
reys burn out.
To merchants, he urges that they
look oyer their stores before lock-
ing up at night and give particular
attention to their furnaces.

ence. / do not forget, however, that
my first obligation politically is to the

has had two busy weeks. A patient
entered the hospital the night it open

and others waiting the completion of
other rooms. - s-, ~, =
There have been seven operations
and three house nurses are now en-

1t is very evident there was great
need for the hospital, and if the new
modern building were erected it would
doubtless be taxed to capacity.
