A DOLLAR SAVED

ment on thrift.
Senator Depew, it seems, was once
like SO many of the rest Of us, Just
young man starting out in the world
But he had picked up the idea OF say
ing and, so soon as he accumulated
his first 500, he popped it into 9
savings bank in Peekskill, N. Y. ina
was in 1860.
Young Depew was sorely tempted
many times to draw it out, but 1T was
the first hundred-and may have
come hardest-so he resisted tempta-
ton several years. Then fortune
smiled upon him and he forgot that
hundred dollars.
Not very long ago the venerable ex-
senator visited Peekskill and went
into the old bank to greet some
friends. They called his attention TO
his NEST egg which had been draw
ing interest for so years. The $lOo
had become $500.
Kellerd, the Shakespearean, brought
to the ears of Boise theatre goers the
other night those much-quoted words
of the Jew, Shylock:
Fast bind, fast find;
A proverb never stale in thrifty
mind.
It is a good proverb. Certainly De-
pew, who bound his nest egg fast'
found it fast and healthy enough al
ter so years.
Bankers, insurance men, postal
savings agents and others may draw
their own moral.-Statesman.

THE OPPORTUNITY is HERE
The spirit shown at the sessions OF
the North Idaho chamber OF com
merce yesterday and today, is the
spirit which will develop the match
less resources of North Idaho, or OF
all of Idaho, if that spirit is just
maintained throughout the year, and
will result in thousands of people
coming from less favored parts OF the
country to cast their lot here. If
the enthusiasm which is started here
can be moulded into working 1orce
and a continuous and systematic eff
fort made to interest the outside
world in the resources OF Northern
Idaho, another ten years should see a !
wonderful increase in population
and a corresponding increase in pro-
ducts of the soil and factory. Com

Hon. Kenneth Kerr, of Seattle, in his
excellent address, is one of the things
which will aid UNNECESSARILY in this
needed development. 1t is all well
worth while and the people now
active in the affairs of this great dis
trict will be we'll repaid within their
own lifetime if they, will devote some
Of their energy toward a real de-
velopment campaign, to say nothing
If the great good they will have done
or future generations.
The men who attended the session
here represented the commercial or
CARNATIONS of the various north
IDAHO cities, and when they go home
will endeavor to carry to their COM
nunities the inspiration which they
'eceived here. If they can do this,
md If the various commercial organ !
cations will grasp their inspiration
md get busy, the North Idaho cham |
Ter of commerce will have accom- {
'lished something.

If variety to choose from means 9
ne to refuse to give something to-
7ard charity just now Demanding
our attention at this tine is the Sal
alton Army, Red Cross, the Christ ii
ampaign, and whatever there may tt
e of local charities. While this may t:
1und as though the charity business a
ere being overworked, such is not u
lie case. Each of these organiza- 9
ons is dong good along it's own par :
cular line and is entitled to support. q,
they do not secure support from O,
lose who are able to give, untold D,

J literally as you can to each of al
em and remember when doing so 1t
lat each is worthy and that you G
I've been wonderfully blessed in be- -
