There ise no one date that can
mark the inauguration of the broad.
casting season as certain dates
usher in the baseball and football

Fer radio the season is opened
when atmospheric conditions clear,
when broadcasters begin to put
new life in their programs and
when the public interest in broad
casting and in radio supplies starts
one to overhauling the old set or
considering the newer models.
The Radio Worlds Fair, the
first exhibit of such tremendous
proportions, opeps tonight In New

Of Charles Benter, in a new Victor

PAUL SANTINI
BOUND OVER
Released on Bail Bond of Thirty
Thousand Dollars; Judge
Risjord Presides.

With Judge Risjord presiding
Paul Santini, local saloonkeeper
who is alleged to have inflicted the
injuries which caused the death in
an lronwood hospital of Oscar
Nordby, blacksmith employed at the
Scott & Howe mill, a few months
ago, was held to circuit court for
trial at the conclusion of the pre-
liminary hearing in municipal court
yesterday.
Santini was released on bail bond
of $4,000 with several Hurleyites
as surety. The question of whether
Santini should be allowed his liberty
on a bail bond was the cause of
considerable argument, Judge
Risjord finally fixing his bond at
the amount stated above with
stipulations as to the character of
surety.
Starting in the morning the hear
ing was finished about three O'Clock
yesterday afternoon. Cadigan &
Cadigan, Superior attorneys, ap-
peared for the defendant.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
BY 5. " STRAUS
'esident Of American Society for Thrift

To provide for your old age, or
for your days Of adversely. or to
accumulate funds that may be made
use of in constr Ictive and helpful
ways, no plan is superior to that of
steady, systematic saving.
Suppose a young man begins saw
ing at twenty-five At that time
his income and circumstances in life
make it possible for him to lay by
S25 a month. He proceeds on this
basis until he is thirty when. due to
his increased earning ability, he
begins saving $50 a month. At
thirty-fiye he increases lis savings
to 500 a month When he is forty.
he finds himself able to save $3.50 a
month, and at forty-five he still
further increases his monthly saw
ings to $500.
BY following this plan he will at
the age of fifty have S54, 946.6l,
providing his savings have been
compounded semi-annually at per
cent.
This would not be a difficult plan
to follow for thousands upon thou
sands of our citizens, who now are
going through life without getting
ahead, and who at the age of fifty
will have no more to fall back on
than when they were twenty-five.
If man can save 500 a month
during twenty-five years of his life
at s per cent compounded semi
annually, he will have S61,975.
Five dollars a week for fifteen
years at 4 Y per cent compounded
semi-annually will equal $500.
What better plan could be carried
out for the education of ones
children?
Even 81 deposited weekly for
ten years will amount to $635.32 at
4 per cent compound interest. Start
at the age of twenty and save $33.14
per month with interest compounded
at per cent semi-annually, and at
65 ones accumulations will be
$4,000.
The pathway to independence is
thrift.
