MAKING A SAVINGS
ACCOUNT PAY

The mOst practical thing that al
most any person can do to get ahead
is to start a saving account and
then feed it regularly. But to make
titable the savings account should
be made to pay. One of the best in
centives for saving lies in the fact
that money accumulated in the saw
ings account can be turned into in
Vestments, farm or town mortgages,
home ownership, bonds or stocks
of steady, profitable, established
businesses. If an individual de-
posits $50 a month in a savings
bank for a period of thirty years
and redepOsits the interest earned,
he will have at the end of that per-
iod of time S29,113.52. In the saw
ings account his money at three per
cent will have earned $11 1882.
If, however, he combines systema-
tic saving with careful investing
and reinvesting at per cent, that
$50 month will grow in thirty
years to nearly $4,000. A savings
account will enable any person to
take advantage of the miraculous
accommodating power of money, the
one force that has made more peo-
pie financially Independent than any
other.

Way back in the good old days, On
Christmas eve, we'd hitch up old Bet,
cover the bottom of our sleigh with
hay and blankets, pick up everybody
on the North Side, and take them to
the Christmas tree "doin's" at the
church. And when each bashful lit
tie boy had spoken his piece, and the
Christmas fairies and the brownies
had fitted across the stage, there
was a jingle of bells, and a loud,
hearty voice cried 'FWhoa! The idea,

more than a little insight of the

that men then received for their

Saw Last of Animals in
1870 Near CrandOn Site
INDIANS LATER KILLED MOOSE
WHICH FINN LAWLER SAW
AND WRITES ABOUT

The writer landed in this country
in the fall of 1869-just about as
green a greenhorn as you could imag-
inc, at a place called Rice Lake,
about three or four miles in south
westerly direction from the present
city of Crandon
This place, the only house, within
fifteen miles, was occupied by Will
liam Johnson, an Indian Trader, in
fact, that was the only business he
knew, having started in the business
at Green Bay, thence to New London
and so! on up to the head of the Wolf
River, always a little in advance of
French, Pottawatomie, Menominee,
and the Chippewa languages fluently
and the accomplishment was of de-
cided benefit to him in his relations
with his customers of that time. He
had partner by the name of Henry
Strauss, who took care of another
Trading Post about fifteen miles south
of Johnsons, at a place called Wolf
River Crossing.
The writer would have gladly re-
turned to civilization during the win
ter months of 1S69-7O, but the snow
became so deep that it was almost an
impossibility to travel and finally l
became accustomed to the life that
at first seemed to me so strange.
In the meantime, l learned the art
of snowshoeing, hunted rabbits and
cartridges and we always had some
fresh meat of some kind to eat My

stories about night hunting for deer,

farmer from the Anvil lake district

COMPETITION Is THE

To those who regard convicts as
objects of pity to a degree not ac-

zens, the proposition of the California
experiment in road building with pris-
on labor should be interesting, If not

derstand the moiling minds of convict
coddlers leads US to believe that there
is a density incapable of being per-
meated by light.
The sentimentalists would have us
believe that the convict is a victim of
some oppression, deserving of more
help than honest citizens should get,
that he should be kept in cottonwood

The convict road camps of Cali
fornia have adopted a leaf from the
book of an Arizona philosopher in
giving the prisoners an object to work
for-two convict camps engaged in d
race to see which will first complete
a road into the oYsemite valley. Not
long ago the national park service un-
dertook to construct road along the
south rim of the Grand Canyon, cut
ting across the Coconino basin and
tapping the Flagstaff Tuba highway
at the Little Colorado river crossing
at Cameron. Without much money
to spend, the park service got hold of
an old Indian trader and scout and
put the problem up to him. He or
ganized two bands of Indians-Na-
yajos and Supais-and bet them a
stack of blankets and other useful
objects dear to the Indian heart that
they couldn't build the road in a GER
tain time and at certain cost.
+ The result was magical. The Supais
organized to defeat the Navajos; the
Navajos plotted the ruin of the Su-

road was built over a perfectly terri

ARIZONA BEING WELL
ADVERTISED in EAST


State advertising as a specialized
concerted campaign may still be a
thing Of the future, but Arizona is
being sold to more people in other
parts of the country this winter than
ever before.
This conclusion was advanced today
by members of the staff of the Arl-
zona Industrial congress, who declared
that the number of inquiries being re
ceived by that organization, chambers
of commerce, advertising clubs and
other sagencies shows a pronounced
increase over former years.
A particularly interesting phase OF
the increased number of inquiries has
been the distribution of Arizona lit
erature by the permanent Chicago Of
flee and exhibit of the Los Angeles
chamber of commerce, as one of the
initial steps in southern California
cooperation in Arizona colonization
work Crowds received at this office
have been averaging 1900 a day, and
demand for Arizona literature has
been so great in the few weeks the
office has been open that urgent calls
have been issued to chambers of COM
merce. of the state for additional sup
plies.
Cooperation of the Southern Pacific
and Santa Fe railroads also has
brought in large number of inquir-
les. For instance, one brief para
graph on Arizona colonization plans
that appeared in the Santa Fe maga-
zine "The Earth" brought 100 in
quiries to the Industrial congress in
little more than two weeks. The rail-
roads cooperation in the colonization
program proposed by the congress is
expected to produce valuable results,
as the Southern Pacific has recently
had four experts in the state collecting
material for q new Arizona booklet
and the Santa Fe is now publishing q
revised edition of its latest booklet
dealing with the state.
The new campaigns Of the com
munity advertising clubs at Tucson
and Phoenix. have been a great faetol
in arousing greater interest in Ari-
zona in the east, and both clubs are
receiving excellent results, according
to information received by the con
gress.
