would cost abou5 $1O0O for boat, aud train fares. Also about $150 for hotel bills etc. So you would need a lot of money for education al purposes
 When people haven't a bank account they are depending on others to help them in every em ergency. 1 they were dead broke they would have to borrow and finally would be utterly penni less. But d man who has d uunIi account can look the world in the face and know he's got some thing to fall buck on. You could nearly always depend on him but you couldn very well dep end on one who is broke. If he saw a nice sum of money lying around it would be d great temptation to obtain 1t, but d man who has plenty, if he's str aight, would leave it alone. Otherwise a bank account makes you independent, trust worthy, self reliant, and you do not have temptations that you otherwise would have.
 We have a motto up at school saying, Pull your own freight, boys.' When men are out on the trail they hate to have to carry someone else s things or have some other man depending on them to get the wood, put up the tent, etc. So having d bank account teaches you to, Pull your own freight.

About three years ago I thought l would start saving my money. Before that had little bank and used to save my money for spending purposes or for Christmas money. 1 have often wished l had saved that, and deposited it in the First Bank of Cordova. 1 would have had quite lot of money by now, but l did n't.
 The Bank of Cordova is a Savings Bank and d Bank of Deposit together. l have my money on deposit. was very proud of my bank book and check book. 1 also have d little bank: it looks like a little book, and l send this down to the bank when 1t is full and the bank dep. OSltS It to my account.
 l have spent lot of the money 1 get on clothing, luXuries such as candy, and other unnec- essdry things, Christmas pres ents. birthday gifts, and for the Red Cross Fund. Sometimes I see something pretty and l save my money to buy it, and other articles.
 I am ~aving this money to go to S.hOol. My ambition is to have enough money to help put me through High School. By the time l get ready to go to College I'll be big enough to work during holidays, and then l can pay my own way. If I go ou side for school it will cost about $3, 24O for four years at 8 public school. You pay S40 a month for room aud board or S480 per year, A boy pays S!O0 for laundry and clothing, but 1 think a girl would pay more. O1n hundred dollars must be allowed for inciden tals.

Under no circumstances should
anyone buy land in Florida unless he
looks carefully into all conditions
and personally inspects the property.

today by INSCRIPTIONS dealers which
are absolutely worthless for any pur-

The dealers had the abstracts

had fallen off and they had no

inserted an advertisement in the

Too Many Spectators
Far too many persons are here

created by this easy money and the

accomplished is temporarily over

ton of the same rules governing

Stay Away Is Advice
The job-seekers were told that

unless you had a position lined up

FRIENDS or THE DOG
(Christian Science MonitOr)

christian Science MonitOr)
Somewhere in the state of Kan
sas, west of the Missouri river and
Kansas City, is the home of two
sisters who have fors many years
waged 4 winning battle in the eff
fort 10 aid and comfort frien1iess
and suffering dogs They are not
wealthy women who have found in
terest in a casual undertaking., but
women who have been compelled
devoted to this unpretentious
charity. They have not courted
fame, yet they seem in a fair way
of winning considerate recognition
because of the simple methods
they have followed in doing acts of
kindness unostentatiouSly. They
have given where giving meant
sacrifice, and nave not withheld
their meager bounty while they in
qnired as to the antecedents of the
homeless animals they have be
friended.
These women are known among
their neighbors as 1.-THE Jacobs sis
ters." One keeps the house and
devotes her time ITO the care of tn"
animals which come to them. The
other works as 4 bookkeeper in u
town dozen miles from home, go
ing to and from business daily. In
the 20 years since they began this
undertaking they have not been
aided by outsiders, nut during that
time They have nnrsed and restor-
ed hundreds of homeless dogs, dis
owned by those who should have
cared for them, and have fed and
sheltered them until gooC' homes
were provided by neighborins
farmers or tOWnSpeople.
How many who read OF these
unselfish acts have ever had the
privilege of ministering to and re
storing one of these helpless or
abused creatures? 1t is an expert
ence worth as much, or more, to
the benefactOr as to the object or
his kindness. Give a dog a good
name. 1t is a splendid investment.
Too many reverse the process, and
it is as true that a dog almost as
certainly lives up to a bad repu-
tation as to a good one. People
are that way. too. and so perhaps
these women who are devoting all
they possess and all they can earn
to this unassuming charity realize
that their work is not in any sense
experimental.
