Sickness sometimes is a
cause Of poverty, but more often
poverty is result of wasted
prosperity. / do not want to be
poor through my own waste and
carelessness. Poverty carries
with it debt, and l want to go
through life without being con.
tinually worried about debts. l
can remember in my own life a
time when there had been
hard winter with bills to pay
and no money coming in. can
remember the time when my
father had trouble with his eyes
and could not work. l am go
ing to save for the day when my
wage earning power will be nil.
Il know that some day there
will be no work for me, In
other words, some day I shall be
old. I wish my old age to be
spent in peace and comfort, and
not in grumbling, cold and mis-
cry.
You can't teach an old dog
new tricks, said some wise man
years ago. Neither can you
teach an old waster to save, any
more than you can teach an old
man to drive an airplane. Every
thing you learn early, you keep.
That is why we go to school be-
tween the ages of and 20 in
stead of between 70 and 80.
Therefore, 1 am going to be
a good father to myself and fur
nish myself with well-stocked
larder of good habits, and prom
inent among them will be thrift"

NEGRO BEATEN
BY DALLAS MOB
Jury Failed to Indict On
Charge He Was Father
of White Child

DALLAS, Tex, July 17.-Accused of
being the father of babe born to a
white woman, Clarence Brown, 20, ne
gro, was taken by masked men as he left
the Dallas county Jail building late last
night and flogged severely. He was
taken from the city to a place near
Wilmer, stripped. tied. to a tree and
beaten. He said about 30 were in the
crowd.
Emergency hospital physicians said
the negro's injuries were not expected
to be serious. Brown said he had been
ordered to leave the county. At his own
request he remained at the jail for
safety after the beating.
Brown was in custody yesterday. The
grand jury reported it did not indict
him and he was ordered released last
night. AS the negro left the district
attorneys office two men approached
end told him not to worry that every
thing would be all right. Brown later
said he was forced into an automobile
with about six men near the jail build
ing. After he was beaten all but one
automobile left the scene. The men with
the remaining car took him to filling
station near Dallas. The negro salo
threats to hang him were made.
