TOMORROW NEVER COMES

is always put off and finally never gets
TO the point of actually doing it, or the
opportunity has left them stranded.
This same truth has recently been
brought out by close questioning of the
statistical department regarding the

discovered that "a people out OF every

someone else for support other than
their own income. Either the city, the
county, the state, n relative or some
charitable organization.
Tomorrow never comes-with therl
the question Of saving little each day
or week was always put off through
some excuse to self until finally it
was decided by them. as another out

too old to start now.

;ically all of the present members are
hirty-third degree Masons.
