keep AN ACCOUNT
Writer Points Out Value of "Put.
ting 1t Down"
inevitably Leads to Efficiency and
System in the Management of
Ones Personal Affairs.

I Too much emphasis cannot be
| placed on the value of keeping an ac-
curate record of all personal expen-
| ditures. To the average busy person
/ may seem a needless waste of time
! TO keep an account of every penny
spent. Yet some of the most SUCCESS
full men and women of our day find it
I worth While to keep a record of each
item of personal expense.
Every business concern keeps an ac-
counting of all pennies received and
spent To do otherwise would be to
invite failure, for it would mean the
Introduction of careless, slip-shod
methods.
If such rigid care is necessary to the
success of a business organization,
there is even more need of efficiency
and system in the administration of
ones personal affairs, for with the in
dividual, thrift means not only the
saving of money, but it means the de-
velOpment of character, clean morals,
wholesome living, education, progress
and the fulfillment of human destiny.
The foundation of thrift is system.
Hence it should not be practiced in
termittently.
If you are endeavoring to save q
little money and you have not adopted
the rule of keeping an accurate daily
record Of your expenses, you will find
that by the adoption of budget sys-
TEN your success will be made dOubly
easy and you will be amazed at the
difference it will make in the amount
of money you can save. A few pen
MES or few dollars wasted here and
there do not seem to amount to much
at the time they are spent But when
the record of these unwarranted ex-
travagances goes down in cold figures
so that you can thus look back over a
period of time and trace the black
trail of your thriftlessness, the matter
is presented in a much more graphic
and impressive manner.
No man in the history of our coun-
try has done more big things than
Benjamin Franklin. In the realms of
craftsmanship, finance, science and lit
erature, he has occupied a position of
the most profound Importance. His
influence is felt by each of us in our
daily lives today. Yet Benjamin
Franklin, by his own testimony, owed
much of his success in life to the fact
that he worked Systematically and
kept an accurate account Of all his
personal transactions, no matter how
trivial-By w. S. Straus, President

You can never hear Roosevelt again,

velt's intimate friend and companion in
many adventures, in the Town Hall, Nor,

tells the thrilling story of the descent and
exploration Of what was then the largest
unknown river in the world; how the ex-
ploring party was harassed NY native tribes;
the miraculous escapes from death; how
the party came near starving from lack Of
provisions; low Roosevelt, himself, with
an injury in his leg and suffering from
jungle fever, begged his companion to
leave him behind and 60 on without him.
The people of Morrisville and surrounding
towns will wish to take advantage of the

trated lecture. When not engaged in his
collecting and exploring rxpediors, Profess.

Iron From Rust.

1t is oxide of iron that gives to your
blood its brilliant red color. If blood
contained no iron, all men and women
would look like walking corpses.
Nowhere in nature is iron found in
a native" or pure state. 1t occurs
only in the form of oxides-that is to
say, as iron rust. Mans greatest tri-
umph was achieved when he discov-
cred how to undo" iron rust and get
the iron out of it. But for that, our
civilization today would be no fur
Their advanced than that of ancient
Egypt or Assyria.
Edwin E. Slosson, in his remarkable
new book, Creative Chemistry" says
that every year the blast furnaces Of
the world release 72,0O0,000 tons Of
iron from its oxides; and every year
one-fourth of that quantity reverts to
rust. Should man cease his efforts in
this direction for a generation, there
would he little left 10 show that he
had ever learned to extract iron from
its ores.

WISDOM OF JOHN CHlNAMAN
instruction and Advice That Have
Been Current in the East for
Mary <.~n ,uries.

The following bits of wisdom were
written 200 years ago and have been
very highly esteemed by the Chinese
people down through the centuries.
They are selected from the Chinese
-Four Books"
If man himself does not walk in
the right path. it will not be walked in
by his wife and children. If he does
not order men according to the right
way. he will not be able to get the
obedience of even his wife and chill
dren. To nourish the heart there is
nothing better than to make the de-
Sires few Here is a man whose de-
sires are few; in some things he may
not be able to keep his heart, but they
will be few. Here Is Il man whose de-
sires are many; in some things he
may be able to keep his heart, but
not to reform them, this, indeed,
should be pronounced having faults.
The philosopher Tsang said: 81 daily
examine myself on three points:
Whether l may have been not faith
full; whether, in intercourse with
friends, 1 may have been not sincere;
whether may have not mastered and
practiced the instructions of my teach
erS" When we see men of worth, we
should think of equaling Them when
we see men of contrary character,
we should turn inwards and examine
ourselves.
