lance Of $500 miles, without stop.
His locomotive will pull 20 freight

TRUTH carried story. over year
ago, about this invention, but it was
at that time not perfected. It made
the distance of 400 miles between Mos
COW and Petrograd in II hours with
but two stops which was considered
marvel then. The Soviet gave the
inventor the entire locomotive works
in Petrograd for his own experiments
ton and now Russia will have the
product Of his genius in return. 1t i.

YOUR CHANCES

The following is from the actual life
experience Of one hundred men COM
piled BY the American Bankers Asso-
citation; not to show the failure Of the
present economic system, but to en-
courage people to save their money
and put it in their banks 50 that they
can further use you and your misery
for their profit.
AT age Of Is: 100 men all strong
and vigorous with good mental and
physical capacity.
Al age Of IS: 5 have died, 10 are
wealthy, 10 are in fair circumstances,
40 have just moderate means, 81 have
saved nothing.
Al age Of As: is have died. 3 are
wealthy, IS are just self-supporting, 10
are no longer self-supporting.
AT age Of S.: 20 have died, one is
very wealthy, E are self-supporting, 81
are dependent upon children, relatives
or charity for support.
Ait age Of IS: 90 are dead, 60 Of
these left no estate; 3 are wealthy; "a
are dependent upon children, relatives
or charity for support Ninety-five
percent Of these will not have suffi-
cient means to defray funeral expens-
Ies.
You will note that, according TO the
American Bankers Association, "a of
the original one hundred strong. vigor-
Gus men at the age Of Is, after 50
years Of labor had nothing, burden
10 their family. 90 died and left noth-
ing, 81 still alive had less than nothing
burden TO their children, relatives.
or charity, only 3 men out Of this one
hundred had been able to save any
thing out Of their miserable wages,
while 8 had become wealthy.
A system that dooms "a men out Of
every one hundred to poverty after
fifty years Of toll and struggle, can
hardly be considered bowling success.
Would it not be better for 81 out Of
every one hundred to be happy and
comfortable than three to be wealthy !

The National Assembly Of France In

or contempt Of human rights are the
sole cause Of public misfortunes and
lcorruptions Of government.
Abundance Of work, interest in the
Colony undertaking and observance Of
the principles which make ii d success
are the greatest safeguards the colon

ing his own business and attending to
it and not meddling in affairs that are
under charge Of some other comrade,
the best harmony can Be preserved.
Officious meddling in other peoples
affairs is the greatest trouble-maker in
the world and causes more ill-feeling
than any other disposition.
We all must grow into fuller real-

this can be best advanced by sympa-
