THE BABY'S BANK

The sneak theaf is seldom troubled by sentlmentallty
He would just take the baby coin bank as father
wallet or mothers best PIN The best way foil him IS to
transfer every dollar just is accumulated IN
the home repository to the nearest savings bank
The childs coin bank purpose 1t offers VS.
ble and immediate encouragement to tnd acts as
small check upon unlimited indulgence in sweets and cheap
paythings. But that is all it does.
When the child is taught to take every dollar and put
il into the savings bank he cheats the prowler and learns
for himself that the savings institution is safer place IN
which to keep money than the house He learns another
thing oohat money boarded at home nothing but
that money entrusted to the sovngs bank does And these
are two valuable financial lessons hch no child can mast

The injured include James Cover,
So. and Ed Jenkins. So, miners, who
were slightly overcome by gas. The
name of the third person injured
