Ancestry Not Collateral.

Ancestral honors are not safe lean
Ing post. The leaner usually grows
more lean waiting for providential
bonuses on parental reputation. Some
stocks pay perpetual dividends, but
ancestral fitness often goes to seed in
the sp!neless scions of modern days.
Natures dividends depend on present
production rather than on records Of
what has been. Dads reputation is
mighty good Introduction to the pres
ent busy world, but that busy old globe

the family and it will add an extra
mill to the tax rate to provide for your

Uncle Sam has thousands of poor dubs
who thought they were more than they
are. Learn to lean on yourself and you
won't disgrace the family. Use-don't
