Ifthere is one thing on earth you can
not do it is put something over on
yourself.
A bit of reasoning will satisfy you as
to whether your present plan of doing
things makes any preparation for a
comfortable and contented future. You
are constantly looking forward to the
better things the future has in store for
YOU; mankind has this habit. But what
are you doing to make your future
what YOU want it to be?

Preferred Stock do not know that they
can meet their obligations. Too many
such companies are new and untried.
You should know of the previous earn
ings of a company before you invest a
single penny in it's stock. You are en-
titled to absolute proof of it's ability to
make good.

tunity for you to make splendid start

1t is for you to decide

It's fact that large part of the I'M
happiness and poverty in the world is
due to downright unwillingness to
fight for competence and to do any
real thinking. 1t works like this: One
man said: There is no chance for me
to save money" He didn't Another
man said: Il can save money" He did.
It's all in the man.
Once you get started with us by tax
ing out some of our ! per cent Cumula-
tive Preferred Stock you will soon
catch the spirit of the thing, just like
hundreds of other St. Joseph Valley
folks have. Once you get started you
will want to earn more SO as to be able
to save more. Then you will want to
save to have more to earn. That is how
it works.
Those poor unfortunate people COM
mitted to the poor house are, for the
most part, only specifically defined in
stances of failures who did not think
right about and provide for the future.
Helps you i'm many ways

MOBILE SCHOOLS
 TO REMAIN OPEN

Mobile, February 11.-(Special)- The public schools of the city will not be closed at present on account of the influenza situation. it was decided at a meeting of the board of school com missioners this afternoon. This course was decided on following the recom- mendation of Superintendent S. g. Murphey, who stated he did not be-
 ieve any real benefit would result from the closing.
 He declared he believed it would be wiser to keep the children in school than to allow them to run the streets and assemble when and where they pleased.
 By the votes of Commissioners Pill lans and Crawford the city commits sion today turned down the resolution adopted by the board of health last night, suggesting that the Mardi Gras celebration be cancelled. The com mission told members of the carnival association present at the meeting to cancel the coronation feature of the carnival, but that the other celebra- tions could be held as scheduled, the commissioners expressing the opinion that in their belief the influenza situation at the present time did not warrant cancellation of the carnival.
