McCarter's speech. to the jury. He
seemed to be trying to arouse tine
prejudice OF these staid old men by
pointing out that people outside

show them how to run things.
To me that was an awfully cheap
thing to bring out. What difference
do trivial county lines make when
justice is at stake?
Then Mr.. McCarter pointed out
what fine people the Halls and
Stevenses were. just as though he
expected the jurors to pay them
homage like peasants to the manor

is a democracy. where influence and

ON LAKE SHIP
By international News Service

IIoUGHToN, Mich, Dec. 2.-The
coast guard at Eagle Harbor today
was to attempt rescue of the
crew of the freighter Maythan,
which ran aground on the sand
stone of Point Isabelle, 45 miles
from here today.
The ship was en- route from
Duluth to Cleveland. 1t is a quar-
ter OF mile from shore, but the
wateris SO rough the crew does not
dare to make a try for land.
The coast guard, which is SO
miles by land from the ship, was
summoned by two Of the Maythan's
crew who took the desperate
chance Of reaching shore in the
ships largest roWboat. After reach
ing the shore they had to walk
eight miles to reach line of com
munication. The place where the
ship is aground is desolate.
Capt Edmund Ricor Is in com
nand OF the helpless ship. The

day penny.
Here we have a splendid lesson
in thrift Aside from their value
as curios, these small pieces OF
coin are worthless today. Through
these ages Of idleness, they have,
practically speaking, contributed
neither to their own worth nor to
the wealth Of the world
Had these coins been properly
invested instead of having been
merely saved, they would rep
resent value today almost
beyond the range of mathematical
calculation. Someone has described
the amount in dollars as a sum
represented by SO followed by 50
ciphers. These figures are too fam
tasuc to mean much to US, but they
bring out the point that there is a
vast difference between boarding
your dollars and between keeping
them at work.
It is not enough merely to save
money.
Every day in the year countless
persons have their savings swept
away.
An ancient proverb says" It's
money begets money" But boarded
money begets nothing.
The value of thrift lies very
much more In knowing how to use
money profitably and rightfully
than in Just being able to save It
Keep your dollars busy. .-...AssE;
