cncy, small or large, according to
your earnings. To spend all you make
means poverty and want "when the
evil days Come"
Every boy and girl should have
this important fact impressed upon
them by parents and teachers, and
by example, taht so save money is
not only necessary but honorable
wise and Christian duty.
There has never BEEN a time in our
history when money was as plentiful
rs right now, and there has never
been time in our history when
money was spent as lavshly and
wastcfully as now. If we can't save
something now Notwithstanding high
prices, when can we? None of us arc
compelled to buy everything we want
and need net buy Tie highest priced
goods in the store Young folks ant
children waste Il great deal Of money
buying what they can easily do with
out. But the small amounts-nicllcls

-$36.50 Il year. In ten years il
amounts to $3,G50, and more than
this if the small amounts are deposit
ed in the savings bank, even Il nckc
day every day for 10 years, amounts
TO 81 1925. The savings count up, you
see, and in little while neat it'll,

HOW TO GET RICH.

Here are few trite AMI common
place remarks. which are not less
important on that account.
TO wish to be rich and to try to get
rich is worthy ambition, provided
honest meaas ere employed. TO be
rich should not be the main object in
life by no manner of means, but to
have money and competency i, not
only worthy ambition but IN abso-
lutte necessity. At some time or ether
we will need money which must come
from our cwn pockets or the purses
of somebody else. A time Will come
and soon, too, when we will no longer
be able to work and earn tncy. Old
age and poverty are bad conditions
when they come together to live
under the same roof.
Now, listen. Spend less than You

Dollars On The March.

No more amazing figures of Amer
lean iinanccc have ever been printed
than those accompanying John Skel-
ton Williams statement that the
monopoly of New York in the money
market hod been broken.
Twenty years ago. Mr.. Williams
explains, the United States boastcd
only nineteen banks with resources
exceeding S25,000000 each. OF that
number, fourteen were in New Rorl:
Today there are 40 banks i n the
country with resources above $25,-

twenty-five are in New York In 9TH

banks were in New York in 1900 and
only l3 per cent. in 1920. That in il
self, in vindication of the federal re-
serve system not less than proof of
the great financial progress of the

IS THERE WORK FOR A TRAC-

Possibly few farmers in Tazewell
have farm blowing sufficient to justi-
fy buying tractors. The way out these
days, when labor is scarce and high
priced, is the community tractor

ncighborhood. This plan has been
adopted in places The cost per acre

Palmer, Governor Cox, Ohio, Jas. w,
Geard, Jno. w. Davis, Senator Pome-
rene, Ohio, Senator Hitchcock, Neb.,
and VIM. Jennings Bryan, Nebraska,
and Herbert G. Hoover. These are
possibilities. No one of these has de
clared himself candidate, so fal. as
reported. Everything seems to wait
upon President Wilson's determination
whether or not he will stand for re-
election. 1t is not generally believed
that he will offer for the nomination.

Essex Did Not Need
Hudson S Endorsement

Think of the advantages Essex has
had. What ordinarily would have re-
quired years TO perfect was made pos
sible in the very first model.
That is why 10000 are now running,
why more than $50, 1000, 100000 was paid
for Essex cars in ten months.
s, You have not needed the Hudson
endorsement to understand Essex
performance.
Essex has won its own way. Hudson
gave it full benefit Of the experience of
its engineers and the ability of its
manufacturing organization. It's name
was not needed.
Now Hudson takes the same pride in
acknowledging its kinship to Essex that
a father might in speaking of his son
who on his own account had made good.

Builds the Essex?

But the Essex does bring quality and
performance to a class field that was
unknown.
The former owners of large costly
cars that have adopted the Essex have
not been Hudson users. They have
come from other cars, cars that fall
short of the Super-Six in all particulars
save size and cost.
The Essex appeals to such users be-
cause of its nimbleness. They like the
way its performance compares with that
of the Super-Six. You can see this on
every hand. The two cars in any COM
munity that are most prominent because
of their performance ability are the
Hudson Super-Six and the Essex.
