2TN ENGLAND the Bassetts are well
- known Cornish family; that is to
say they have been from time out of
mind associated with affairs in Corn
wall and have intermarried for cen
turies with families of that county
until one could hardly imagine Corn
wall without the Bassetts.
But we must look beyond Cornwall
to find the origin of the Bassetts. In
fact they came from Normandy, as can
be we'll enough proved by the fact
that the name of Thurston Basset,
companion of William the Conqueror,
is found on the roll of Battle Abbey.
Since the days of the Plantagenets
the Bassetts have been seated at
Tehidy, the seat of the present repre-
sentative of the family in England.
In a list of the prominent Cornish fam
lilies with whom the Bassetts have in
termarried you find such names as
Trenouth, Trengove, Trelawny, Marrys,
Enys, Carveth, Godolphin, Prideaux,
Grenville and Rashleigh. Some of
these once prominent families have
since become extinct, but their blood
runs In the veins of the Bassetts.
The two most distinguished men,
bers of the family In England are said
to be Sir Francis Bassett, vice admiral
and sheriff of Cornwall In the time of
Charles l. and another Sir Francis
Bassett. first baron Of Dunstanyille In
the time of King George Ill, noted
chiefly for his opposition to the Ameri-

MA ON SAVING
By DOUGLAS MALLccH

XK7ELL. Pa is talking saving, too
~ like to hear him rave;
l hope when Pa is good and through
He'll really start to save.
This amt no spender l have got:
But, like lot of men,
Whenever he has saved lot
He blows it in again.
He saves it here, he saves 1t there.
He saves on this or that;
And that is why have to wear
A 1920 hat.
And then some feIlah comes along
With some gigantic scheme.
And Father listens to his song
And spends it on dream.
To save is better than to spend
But saving ain't enough:
The thing that matters In the end
Is where you put the stuff.
Don't try for twenty-five per cent.
A fortune in a week;
l wish l had what Pa has spent
For rainbows, so to speak
Just put a little in the bank
Or else the building loan,
Not hand 1t to some crazy crank,
Some man you've never known
Go buy bond or buy lot,
Or something you can see,
Right spending after all is what
Is real economy
