PREACH mi U

We contend that preaching the II nth,
the kind that benefits the whole pub
lie, ann be overdoDe. And this Is
especially true at a time when we are
entering pom a new year.
From all indications there are going
to be more men out of employment in
this country in 1921 than at any time
since the armistice was signed. Jobs
will be scarccr. n there will be a
greater number OF applicants Tor each
one. Money is not going TO be as easy
to get as II has been for the last two
years and a dollar is going to look
bigger than 1t has for a long time.
Fol that reason we want to again
preach the gospel of good sense-and
that is. IL you've a steady position.
stick TO it, and il you have n dollar

Don't be tempted to pack up and move

locality would have il already. II you

aside romething each week. IL II il only

this you'l and at the close Of 1921 that
you've flrmed the best habit you ever
fcrmed-thc habit of saving. There's
nothing hard O saving. The secret

men with bank accounts today who
started on II dollar than there are men
who started with a hundred or n thou
sand dollars. M sum is toe small to
start with.
Listen TO the gospel OF good sense,
and the chances are that before anoth-
er year is closed yonlI nave reason to
be glad you did.

by hard riding n the smell OF the

in the wrinkles of our necks was fry
ing, and when we finally saw the old
melting pot go down behind the noun
tain range and felt the cool breeze blow
down from theip tops we rode for the
grub wagon. as hungry a bunch as ever

The fellow who cooked for the ont

nose like the beak of a red-tailed hawk.
and one of his failings al that he
never could make a fire without n
smoke that set everybody within
twenty feet OF it 10 rubbing his eyes
and coughing.
This night when we rode into camp
we were SO ALFRED hungry that we
just squatted round that fire and watch
ed the cook frying the meat over the
smoking sagebrush. not a man saying
a word but just sitting around, batting
our eyes ard shifting. waiting for the
grub to be ready.
u can remember said 81. of fixing
my gaze on that long beak of the cook
and watching as he bent over the meat
frying in the pan. Pretty soon ! saw
q milky white drop OF Precipitation ap-
pear on that nose and ] looked aroun
the group of men and realized that
every eye in the bunch was fixed on
that same milky drop. Not a man
spoke, but each eye was focused on
that little drop on the end of the Iona
nose. Tie cook would draw his head
back as he took from the a q piece
of cooked meat and again the nose
and the wriggling drop would be sus-
pended over the frying a as the
owner looked closely to examine or
turn another slice OF the frying meat.
Backward and forward we teetered OH
our legs "a we watched the swayins
of that long nose and its wriggling
drop. until the silence was broken. Just
as the cook was bending low over the
