which lies beyond the horizon Of

There is simple old saying that
"a rolling stone gathers no moss"
and, in general way. 1t applies In
such cases.
What We want to do and what

1t never pays to be drifter.
Experience has shown that those
who find an anchorage early In life
make far better progress in their
personal affairs as rule than those
who are continually drifting from
place to place and from Job to Job.
The most wholesome advice that
can be given any young man is this
Find an anchorage. And the best
way OF finding an anchorage is to
establish a bank account. buy
home, or become interested In q

One OF the values Of thrift lies
in the fact that 1t has q stabilizing
