LURE OF ODDS

One Of the foremost writer's OF the
country, on fnahcial topics, recently
said that when one considered tie
determination Of the German govern
ment to priDt paper currency to the
value Of 7.GO0.000.O00 marks day,
the figures staggered the imagination
and made It strange that marks contin-
ued to be saIable at even SIX cents for

the spectacle would be stranger il
men were not always to be found who
are ready to bet on almost anything
IL the odds go high enough. Offer
one hundred to one that II will not
snow next September, and you might
find some taker, unable to withstand
the temptation of the small sum he
throws away when 1t Is measured by
the amount he thinks there is a faint
possibility of winning. That is what
makes a market for mining stocks and
oil stocks, offered at nickel or even
as low as a cent a share. The buyer
tells himself that he can't lose much,
az worst, and the lure Of dreams Of
winning at great odds pulls his money
out of his pockets. There IS much
betting of this sort on horse races

Hurley Has a Rival.

If the present gamut Of parties

west part Of the state bordering upon
Michigan, still it is used as COM
parison to show the general public
just how far the morals and social
status Of this community are being
degraded by midnight festivities
carried out in the village limits.
Beginning way back last year
and earlier than that-parties
of such sordidness were held
and the lid kicked clear over the

festivities, in which Drawing and
other necessary adjunets to the

to predominant. Following this
comes the lnVelgelng OF young
girl who was raped and more brawls
followed. This sort of festivities"
has taken such rapid growth that it
is now time to set the brakes for a
betterment of moral conditions.
And that time is right now.

A LITTLE TALK On THRIFT
b. S. ". STRAUS
President Of American Society for Thrift

There Is an old saying we all used
to hear when we were children that
you can't eat your cake and have It.
If each Individual in this nation
would learn the profound truth Of
this homely old maxim and put its
teachings into effect in his own life,
many of the social and economic
troubles of the present would dis
appear.
You can't squander all that you
earn in days of prosperity and have
a competency for the periods of
adversely. You can't waste your
time in idleness or ill-advised pur-
suits and hold your own in the race
for success. You can't keep late
hours, dissipate, over-indulge your
appetite, or over-work to an un-
reasonable degree, and retain the
blessings of good health. You
can't associate with evil companions
and retain the honor and respect Of
your worthy acquaintance. You
can't be miser in your practice and
still have The vision. courage and
good judgment to keep up in the pro-
cession of progress.
You can't waste your dollar and
have it; but you can spend it pru-
IDENTIFY and have its equivalent.
You can't waste your years and have
them; but you can employ them use
fully and have priceless possessions
of your own creation.
| Many of the ills of life are due to
the mistaken attempts of those who
try to eat their cake and have it. If
you would develop in your work and
achieve the ambitions of your life,
remember this simple truth. To-
days sacrifice is very often to-
morrow's prosperity. Hard knocks
are frequently blessings in disguise.
But following the line of least re-
sistanee; yielding to small and i'll
advised impulses; making things easy
or pleasant for the time being with
out thought of the future, inevitably
lead to hardship and trouble.
Guard your resources; conserve
your strength; improve your oppor-
tunities. You cannot eat your cake
and have it. These are the truths
of thrift.

for discussion. The happiness of
those who have Jesus with them in
their matrimonial state. How can
a married couple be assured of
happiness? What is a valid en-
gagement? Are plural engage
ments right? Come to st. Paul's
church Sunday and hear the answer.
The questions will not be answered
according to our own opinion but
based on the Bible. Is your marri-
ed life a life of happiness or sorrow?
Surely it must be the former if you
grant Jesus room in your heart, room
in your house. If the Lord Jesus
Christ is the head of your home, the
unseen guest at every meal, and the
silent listener to every conversation
your marriage life can contain moth
ing but happiness.

The Men Who Rise.

Almost every day in American
life one hears the story of some man
who started from the bottom of the
ladder, but has climbed to a top
position in the industrial world.
Such one is F. Edison White, re-
Gently chosen president of Armour
and company, who went to work at
the age of II on the killing floor of
a Peoria packing house. Now he is
one of the country's captains of in
dustry
Only comparatively few people
would have the organizing ability
to make such an ascent as this. But
if everyone would show the same de-
votion to his job, the same desire to
learn and the same concentration
on his work as such men as Mr..
White have manifested, a vast num-
Der of people would rise to much
higher levels than they reach now.
Their superior intelligence would
help put production ON more eff
ficient basis, and improve living
conditions for everybody.

Watching the Boys

Boys in the growing W period
often have the feeling that the older
folks do not notice them much, unless
indeed they break loose in some way
and make themselves conspicuous
through bad conduct. The good boy
often thinks that the men of his
town pass him by with little thought
and scarcely seem to realize his
existence. Such youngsters fail to
realize how these older men are
Watching the boys to see which will
prove worthiest of confidence and
responsibility
A writer in the Extension Co
operator Of Little Rock, Arkansas,
emphasizes this idea with respect to
the club boys, and he tries to make
them realize that their efforts to
raise corn, pigs, cotton, and calves
are attracting the careful attention
Of the community.
He tells these youngsters that
those who "hoe to the end of their
row., those who keep up their re-
Gurus tdt tlhAiSs AiiVS1 WIZ lAhaoh
their task, those who follow out the
suggestions Of their county agent
and club leader, will benefit in after
life from their fidelity. Those that
did their work well back on the farm
as boys will find that this achieve
ment forms record and creates a
reputation for them.
The boys that accomplish some
thing in club work or other efforts
make openings for themselves. The
older men will help such young
fellow get ahead. If he has done
well and shown that he is dependable
AZ his fathers farm or store the older
men will help such fellow by lend
ing him money when he gets ready
to branch out for himself Such a
young man stands chance of get
ting a good business chance in his
own neighborhood.
A great many doors of opportuni-
~ open before the boy who has
done good and faithful work and
has shown some initiative and en-
terprise Of his own.

Young womanhood Now ard Then

Young Womanhood Now and Then.
Thirty or forty years ago the
typical young woman from the eul-
tured home was looked at Largely as
O decorative object. If her father
was able TO supprt her, it was her
business to sit around home, make
the same look pretty with graceful
and artistic touches, entertain
visitors charminGly. cultivate the
social graceS.
These ideals produced young
woman as refined as rare bit of
china, but she did not have much
physical ability and she was not
usually very practical
The young woman of to-day with
her skill in athletics, her more
practical grasp of life, her success in
the business world, has travelled u
long distance from that old CON
ception She is more interesting to
the man of to-day, because she does

ROBBERY At AMBOY
KRAUSE BROTHERS STORE
ENTERED LAST NIGHT
Two Repeating Shot Guns, Two Re-
Volvers Among Goods That
Were Taken,

Robbery Of the Krause Brothers
hardware store at Amboy by what
appears local talent took place some
time last night.
Lying on the ground near the
store this morning was found a piece
of iron around which some clay and
a piece Of cloth had been wrapped
This had apparently been used to
break a hole in one OF the rear win =
dows so that an arm might be put
through to work the catch on the
window. The robbers ran up against
a snag, for the rear window was
fastened with a paddock. Then they
apparently went to the front door
and using the instrument they had
on the rear window, broke a large
enough hole in the glass door so
that one could reach through and
work the Yale lock.
AS far as can be determined two
repeating shot guns worth $50 each
and two revolvers worth fifteen dol
lars each were stolen. Two or three
dollars in small change was also
taken, but the thieves apparently
did not try to open the safe, which
is understood to have contained a
considerable amount of money. 1t is
thought to be the work Of local tai
ent.
Sheriff Edward Ario was notified
this morning as soon as the robbery
was discovered and went to Amboy
to investigate.
