STEPPING STONE TO SUCCESS
First Requisite in Upward Move 10
Stern Determination to Prac-
tice Habit of Thrift.

The first step toward success is saw.
ing money Inability to save is an un-
erring indication of weakness.
Those who do not save are the vic
tins of impoverished wills. They
know they should save; that their fu-
ture should be safeguarded in this
way; that it is wrong from every view
point to spend as much money as they
earn, but they do not summon to their
support sufficient will power. They
yield to the temptation of spending,
and then say to themselves that to-
morrow or next month they will reab
~ begin saving.
The time to begin saving money is
today, and the way to save is to make
it habitual and systematic. Glad
stones advice was. ITO set aside a
sum no matter how small from your
weeks pay. Keep strict account of
your income, no matter how small |;
don't buy anything until you have the
money earned TO pay for it. Have
something ahead for an emergency !;
DO not live from one day TO another"
Aohtty - 60
era of disgusting thriftlessness. Never
before in the history of the country
has there been such rampant waste
and extravaganza. People are spend
ing money before they earn It. They
are getting In debt for things they dc
not need.
The man who is wise and prudent
win spend less than he earns. He viii
remain master OF himself: he will
shape his own course. His progress
may be slow, but he will move ever
onward and upward toward the goal
of his ambitions.
The greater sacrifice he makes 20
get ahead, the stronger and more beau.
tiful will his character become. A per.
sonaI savings account is a mental and
a spiritual gymnasium. Each day il
affords him facilities for adding
strength and resourcefuIness to his
moral equipment.
The man who would succeed in life
must first learn the lesson Of thrift. II

DISTINCTIONS EVEN IN zoo
Monkeys Superiority in Gray Matter
Recognized by His Less Gifted
Cage Companion.

Among the most aarrelsome folk at
the zoo are the agoutis. the giant
guinea pigs of South America, writes
a London (Eng.) correspondent.
Not long ago a new golden agoud
was about TO be placed in cage al
ready inhabited by four other members
of his family The original quartet had
fought among themselves whole-heart-
eddy. but had more or less settled
down, minus ears and plus many scars.
To introduce a fifth agouti would re-
start the great war, so it was decided
to place the newcomer with a beauti-
full little squirrel monkey named Gus.
The agouti family, who had been
licking their lips at the idea Of a
fresh victim, CRASHED their teeth when
they saw him put into the next-door
cage with a monkey.
James settled down on the ground
floor OF the cage and Gus took to the
overhead perches. They lived for O
few days on two different levels, till
one day Gus saw James being fed by
q visitor.
Screening with annoyance, the lit
tie monkey Ga quarter OF the agout's
\ weight dashed down and pulled the
nut from James jaws. James has
murderous teeth Qike those of a mag
nified rat), but he submitted without a
murmur From that moment Gus and
James were inseparable and they now
sleep together curled up into a SNUG
ball.
Gus loves society and warmth, while
the agouti seems TO recognize the su
perior brain of the monkey and toll
crates an amazing amount of bullying
from him. There are bare places OF
his sleek. golden-brown coat where Gus
has bitten him because he did no
surrender dainties quickly enough)
!. and James would probably have had
an easier life had he been left to the
mercies of his own quarrelsome cous

Lodestone, Which Really Is a Mineral,

The lodestone is considered the most
wonderful stone in the world. but it
is really not stone at all, but rightly
belongs to the mineral family. If
it is suspended by siIken thread or
aoated on mercury, or on a circular
raft in water, the same end of the
stone will always point TO the Lode

where it got its name.

The STRONGER Sex.

Smith "In my young days there
wasn't any need for all this counting.
But he was cut short by the coal
scuttle which Mrs. Smith accidentally
dropped on his toes.
Il was only going to say, my dear, "
he remarked, when he had recovered
him composure, "that wish the young
fellow who is calling on Christabel
would go away and let us get the house
shut up. It's past midnight"
At that moment there entered the
small boy of the household. He had
been, for the last hour or so, behind
the draught screen in the drawing
room and vowed that he had enjoyed
himself better than if he had been at a
Punch and JUdy show.

The pIekcisseI.

The dickcisseI is a small migratory
bird. about six and one-fourth inches
long. the male beautifully blended with
yellow, white and gray, and with
black throat patch and brown shoulders.
The female is duller. These birds are
very numerous in the middle portions
of the United States, frequenting dry,
bushy fields or prairies. The dickcisseI
is a persistent songster, although its
song is weak and has little melody. In
July and August, when many birds are
silent, dickcissels continue their plain
tive chant. even on the most sultry
days. Their chanting is simple
"chip, chip, che-che-chee." They
build their nests OF weeds, grasses,
rootlets, corn husks and the like. They
build on the ground. In bushes and
thistles, and sometimes In trees. The
eggs of the dlckcissel are four or five
In number. They are a plain. blush
white, hardly distinguishable from
those OF the bluebird.

THE above combination of results is not poSSi- \ ble by cheap methods. That knowledge IS the reason for Franklin owner confidence. Another big element in Franklin owner satisfaC- tion is comfort. Comfort cannot be expressed in figures, like economy, but 1t can be demon strated just as positively.
 It is easy to show that Franklin owner can travel farther in day than his neighbor without fatigue, and more days in the year without trouble.

GROWTH OF BUSINESS FORCES COMPANY TO MOVE OFTEN

realize that I do not have to slow down for the rough stretches and know that I can go over them with much comfort and without any danger or damage to the car cannot help but have a lot of regard for the Franklin.
 "The Franklin makes driving a plea sure. The fact that it is air cooled with no water to leak out or to boil over on the hard pulls, allows one a great deal more liberty than with a water-eooled car. I do not have to be looking for the motor to burn up, don't have to watch a motormeter all the time, consequently one has nothing to do but watch the road.
 T live six miles west of Phoenix on the Christy road and make the trip two or three times a day. I also have a ranch at Casa Grande to which I drive frequently I invariably average from 22 to 2S miles to the gallon of gaso- line.
 The fact that I can make the round trip from my ranch west of town to the Casa Grande ranch, a distance of 94 miles in about three hours and forty minutes at an average of 2S miles to the gallon of gasoline leads me to be- lieve that I have solved the problem Of motor transportation.

BIG BUSINESS IS BUILT UPON
 SERVICE IDEA

Courtesy and Service" is the motto of the Franklin organization Every business transaction, every move made by any member of the organization is based on those three words. It is the golden rule of the entire force and it is to their credit that no one ever for gets it or hesitates to put it into action.
 Anyone visiting the Franklin place Df business always remembers the courteous treatment he has received. Tn addition to this it is the motive of everyone from Mir. Starr down to see that everyone who enters the place gets his moneys worth whether he pur- chases service or an automobile.
 There is an impression the moment one steps into the Franklin show room that one is going to come in contact with a Quality Organization" placing a quality article" on the market All most anywhere one may look there IS something to give a fine impression Of the Franklin car. There will be no variation in the service and the cour- tesy one gets no matter whether he is there to buy a second hand or a new car.
 An experienced man goes out with all new Franklin owners to show them how to drive the car He stays with the new owners until they are thor oughly taught the intricacies of the Franklin. Usually this does not mean a long stretch of training, because the Franklin is built with simplicity and 2 1t is a simple matter to learn to drive it. It is the opinion of the Franklin , organization that teaching the Frank lin owners how to drive their cars in a thorough manner is a matter of saving money, as it leaves no chance for a complaint based on the operation of the car.
 The Franklin people have found by years of experience that it is to every dealers interest to plan his business so that it will be on a firm foundation. They believe in looking to the future, for their future sales depend to large extent upon the kind of service and courtesy rendered a customer.
 When the Chilson Brothers started in to distribute the Franklin they pro- vided for service before they began to sell cars. The service station was about selling car. They have made It a rule to take care of every Franklin owner that comes into the service sta ion and when a car leaves there he is sure that he will not have to bring 1t pack for months. For when adjust nents are made, they are made by nen who know the Franklin car and hey are made right
 The large success of the Chilson Brothers is attributed to the courtesy and service which they have rendered. This has meant rapid growth and large ear sales in the past eight and one la1f months This combined with a Iuality article-the Franklin car-has placed that organization among the >ading in the state.

EVERY FRANKLIN OWNER CONSTANTLY
 BOOSTS FUR CAR, THEY ALL LIKE II

One of the main reasons that the Franklin car continues to be so popu- lar with the motoring public is that every purchaser immediately becomes a salesman. It has been true ever since the Franklin has been in these parts and that has been since time imme morial, that every owner has been only too anxious to have other people buy them.
 When one approaches a Franklin owner and asks him what he thinks of his car he will always get a ready and oftimes hearty response. The merits of the Franklin are not going to remain uncovered as long as the owner has his way.
 John M. Williams who lives in the valley near Phoenix is an enthusiastic owner of a Franklin. A few days ago when approached on the matter of his car he had the following to say:
Arizona republican., 1920-05-23

T purchased my first Franklin tour ing car about 60 days ago. It has not taken me long to find that the Frank lin is about the most economical car on the market to operate. One of the things which l like among others is the fact that there are about 200 less parts to look after and get out of order. Another thing which appeals to me is its easy riding qualities. I do not have to pick out the smoothest rOaus to travel or drive out of my way several miles in order to find a smooth high way. This saves me time and of course time means money to everyone.
 Naturally there are many good req sons back of this unusual ability of my car to adapt itself so admirably to the inequalities of the road, but the main one is the fundamental fact that the Franklin is of sturdy build and is the product of master workmen. When |
