OF THE DAY
TEACHING SAVINGS IN SCHOOL

Most satisfactory success has attend
ed the campaign on the American Bank
ers' association in teaching the coming
generation the practical value and ne
cessity of saving. 1t is quite proper that
the principle Of capital should be dem
onstrated IN connection with education,
as it is by morals, brains and money
that humanity must advance in charac
ter. intelligence and prosperity.
In the past fiscal year $500, 900 was
saved by school children. The number
Of depositors increased to 1,27l 02s from
500 500 in the preceding year and the
number Of schools actively interested
from 1916, TO 4,jS2.
Saving money should he taught in
every school by inducing children TO
open savings accounts and deposit their
money at interest. one Of our most seri.
Gus national faults is extravaganza.
Children should be instructed in the
meaning OF capital. They should be
taught that capital Is independence and
that the right way to accumulate capi.

y. s,,s MYSTERIOUS FORCE

Up north, in Canada's cold lakes,
the salmon trout are spawning. OBJ
serve the cunning of mysterious
Mother Nature;
A typical salmon trout lake IS
Portage Lake, mile and half long,
half a mile wide, $50 feet deep. It's
the crater OF an extinct volcano.
Salmon trout are deep-water fish,
usually caught by trolling with .
copper line at least 100 feet down.
Water at that depth is as cold as
the breath OF some European dip
iomats.
Salmon eggs, OF course, would
not hatch in ice water. So, to get
the salmon nearer the surface and
make them spawn in warmer shall
low waters, nature about this time
OF year grows trout lice or bar
nacles along their sides.
These barnacles are yellow, about
half inch long, shaped like a man
with the two fists glued to the sal
mons side.
To scrape off these barnacles, the

BY satisfying his desire to fight

Icy River, Not Kidnaper, Gets Children

LIVINGSTON, ILL.-The Kishwaukee
r. river gave up the lifeless body of
Roger Brown, six, who, with his
playmate, Isabel Kiefer, eight, disap-
peared the day before. The finding
of a mitten frozen in the ice revealed
that Isabel, too, persisted in the icy
waters.
The recovery of the body of the
little boy shattered hope TO which rela
tives had tenaciously chung that the
two children had been kidnapped TO"
ransom, and that they still lived. This
faith had been bolstered up by clair
voyant, in whose powers relatives be-
lieved.
An all-night vigil on both sides Of
the river bank had proven futile.
While police of Kingston and neigh
boring cities were bending every eff
fort to which they believed might lead
to the recovery of the children from
kidnapers, frantic search was being
prosecuted along the river.
From Kingston, Genoa and the
whole countryside came men and

women made coffee and sandwiches.

mournfully. Sometimes l think you

This was the very first time Jack
had ever heard anything about Molly's
slogan and it mystified him.
"What slogan" he queried "What
do you mean? What is your slogan?"
"Oh, that would be telling" cried
Molly. I'm not going to tell you
what my slogan is. But you know
what a slogan is it's sort of guiding
star, or philosophy of life, or what
ever highbrow name you want to cali
it. 1t helps you decide what to do
and all that sort of thing. Well, I've

"Never is a long, long time," ex-
claimed Jack. "Please tell"
