It means car* even after death, for, should tha earner be called, there must he, If possible, something left for the dependenta to live on when his effort* have ceased.

The (laso of Mr. Owing Moore. "They certainly named me right," said Owen Moore as he glanced over the month’s bills. "Looks to me like things get worse all the time. What's the matter with me, anyw-ay? I think I'll go down to the bank end ask their advice." So Owen Moore came to the bank and la,d hia case before one of our officers. "Now, Mr. Moore," aaid that offi cial, "you've asked me a plain ques tion, which deserves a frank answer. Tour case is like that of thousands of others. It is all right to owe money, provided you do not owe too much and that you owe It for things that are worth while. Tour first duty is to yourself and your family. Suppose you try this: Open a bank account here and deposit <-ach week, at least 10 per cent of your salary. We'U aesume that for the rest of r\Y\Vl frrsV ..-- ...* tour life you are going to quit owing more and arrange to owe less. And that rat h amount you deposit will be money which you are Owing Moore and that you will strictly see to It that Moore Is paid each week through a growing thrift account." “I’m on," said Owen Moore, "give me the peas book." And so. Owen Moore stopped Ow ing Moore add soon owed lees, and the weekly Id per cent which he figured wa* owing to Owen Moore was promptly banked. In a few months there were no bills, no worries and his account at the bank showed a healthy balance. The Owen Moores now live In a tidy home of their own and It Is near ly paid for. The Moores are pros perous and it Is all due to the fact that pwen Moore derided that day, to pay the debt that he was Owiqg Moore. Copyright— 'Forging Abend " V) fSViVi fSViVi fSVvVl The Squander Fund v _ —« "System! It would take more thar a system to get along and save money on my husband's salary." Mrs. Harkness was not convinced however. "Well, Alice, you asked me how we bought a house and « car and gave the children music les. sons, and how we managed the nurse when I was sick. John's salary It the very tame as Henry's, and we dc It. But It's a system you can't play, Alice: you aren't built that way.” "How do you know? I can even beat you at some things. Including bridge. What Is this magic system, Clara?” "It's so simple you won't believe It will work, but this Is It: After we had been married five years Henry and I got worried and had a little talk. We didn't have a single thing saved up and nothing to our names but a few clothes and my furniture. "I figured out what It ought to cost me to- run the house and buy clothes. Henry figured out what his clothes, carfare and lunches ought to he. This didn't take nearly all his salary, so we divided what was left In half. One half went to the savings hank every pay day: the other half we called our ‘squander fund.’ We spent It on pleasure and luxuries. "When the weekly 'squander fund' war* used up we stayed home, but the funny thing Is we found that by planning a little we could do alt the things that we really cared about and only cut out the things ws used to do by fore* of habit and that hored us anyway. W* bought what we really wantejl and went without the odds and ends and all the little nick narks that w* had been buying more or less unthinkingly.” "But, Clara, we don't buy things we don't need and w* don't squander any money." Mrs. Harkness laughed. "You Just think you don't. It certainly surprised us when w# found how much we had and how fast our sav ings piled up* Why, ws really eeemed to he doing more and having more than before. "Then Henry got a raise, and Instead of Increasing our personal budgets or our ‘squander fund’ we decided to keep on at the earn* scale until his next raise. so for a year v< saved that additional amount. Bight now we are living on last year's •alary and this year's raise is going into the hank.” "I know, Clara, hut It would take years snd years to aav# enough to amount to anything." Clara smiled. "Well, Alice, try It' It might surprise you. We started saving $20 a month, and the next year by saving Henry's raise we made it $35, and all the time the interest kept piling up. After five year* we bought the house and mnde the first payment. W* counted the other payments Just ps rent and went on saving besides. Alice, it's easy if you Just stick to It and keep play ing the system.” Mrs.t Harkness drew on her gloves, preparing to go. "When Henry Is 55 we have it all figured out that h« ran retire and we will Just play around from then on with a comfy little income,” CoprJfht—Tht T C* WHEN PETER PAID PAUL “It's a meas " exclaimed Pater Paul Smith, aa he took a aeoond aheat of paper and atartad adding up hta par aonal hllla. "I make two hundred e month end It's ell gone ea aoon aa I get It. Mere T am, too, engaged to the beet little woman In the world and all The got It a joh. It len't fair to Nellie—not by a jugful; If I can't look after refer Paul, how can I take care of the two of us?” And ao, Peter Paul Smith, turned toward the little mirror that hung near htm and looked himself squarely In the eye. "Now, Paul," he announced, “this la old Peter talking to you, Mur era tern la all wrong, Tnu and T arc going to reorganize our methods n hit.

The day* when the bank account used to be back home are gone, how ever, as far as Smith's players are concerned. For shortly after their arrival several of the members of the company started a little savings account and today* practically every member has his or her name* on the bonks of some local company*.

"It Is capital I have." said John— and ha was right, for he well knew that properly handled this thousand would yield another and that before long he might become Independent. Then temptation came. It always does. A friend told him of a "sure thing" Investment. A tip based on "Inside Information." It was a ven ture promising very large returns. John fingered his (heck book, took a smoke, then put his hands on his check book again and then a small voice seemed to whisper In his ear, “better go slow. John—better ask the bank." And John asked us "It's this way. John," we told him. "when you have money, others want It, Just as badly as you do." As long as you play the business game safely, you'll keep your money; if you take foolish chances, someone will get it away from you. The country is full of advisers and finan cial prophets, hut these prophets usually bring loss to those who fol low them. It'a almost alwaya a case of "prophets and loss." So John stuck to his thousand and his thousand stuck to him and It grew through steady additions and wise Investments under the counsel of the hank, to a comfortable fortune. (Copyright, "Forging Ahead ") One Little Penny and How He Grew Young Bobby was a careless boy Who spent for candy or for toy For this and that of passing whim Every cent that was given him. Said Uncle John “My Llttls Man” Tis time you began a saving plan A lucky penny Is what you need For dollars grow from penny seed.” Uncle John with Artists’ grace Upon a Penny paints a face And then It dwelt In Bobble's pocket Safe as a picture in a locket. Now pennies either go or stay Because they somehow get that wav | And a single cent is not content To stick around and be unspent. To keep ohe penny safe and sound j Another penny must be found And Bobble earned for being good Another cent—we knew h# would. Two pennies make a little Jingle And Bobbie felt a pleasant tingle. “if I Keep sway from the candy store I'm twice ss rich ss I was before.’’ Two pennies 1n their biding place Jingle Pennle and Old Painted Face What happened next, do you sup pose? A stranger comes In brand new clothes. Little Miss New Penny, clean and bright t Was Indeed a welcome sight, Aunt Clara brought her when she cam# To help along the penny rame. The pennies rise In penny glee, Now" they ehouted “we ere three"' Three pennies we united stand. Hoot-av, Is not this saving grand?” Three pennies cuddled in a row l Trying to make their bravest shew 1 Sneaking In by softest stealth. To add himself to Bobbie’s wealth, < I Cornea Bad Penny, a villain bold, Some tales of him could nqt be told Bad Penny, the others understood, Waa always bad, and never good. Bad Penny aald, "'Let * run away. And come back again another <1 :■ But no one followed when he went ^ Bad penny met with an accident. Now Mother* penny'* name waa wise He never overexerclaed, He never roamed about the town, Hla atm had been to settle down. Aa h* hung his hat upon a hook, And cast around a searching look "I think" said he, "we soon will b* A most respectable family." "Ha, Ha," he aald "Good Pennl»a Three, Four, when you have counted ma, I^et's stick together, that s th# way To save up for a rainy day.” Father heard the pennies’ chafer "What" said he "can be the matter? Why every cent he’s spent before, All I gave him and many more. But now that he Is penny wise I’ll gi\> our Bobble a surprise.” Four little pennies loudly jangled As pennies do when they get tangled. Old Honest Penny my sake* alive! The Penny Family numbered five. And Thrifty Penny Joined the crew, While Nimble Penny, he came tool Nimble Penny's pars was killing Llf* was short, hut life was thrill / * lng. When he went near a candy shop— Gone again for a lollypop! But In Bobbie's Penny Heaven Happy lived the Pennies Seven. Nimble Penny enjoyed the plan So settled down and Joined the clan. The Pennies now, strange to relate Had been seven, quite aobn were eight. Eight little Pennies grew to nine. Nine little Pennies Boon are a Dime. The Pennies nine became a Dlm». And Bobble said "In course of tfrr.e, Who knows, some day perhaps they will Grow up to be a Dollar Bill! For one penny grew Into ten And ten times ten—" I’ll tell you then What happened to old Bill Dollar, That gentleman and scholar." But Just before we end this tala To hit the hammer on the nail Young Bobble now has princely rsr.k His money s growing In the bank. There Is a lesson In this story, boy* and girls, that will mean a great deal to you lfl later life— A penny saved Is a penny gained Whatever you want to be when you grow up, remember that the pennies you save now will help you. Wouldn't you like to put your sav ings Into a real big bank, td hard them up to the man In the cage, ar.d to get a real bank book that will be ill your Tery own? Sav, your pen nies and nickels and dime# now ar.d put them In the bank where thev will keep on growing and growing uid growing all the time, and when you too have grdwn up. you will ret a lot more money back than you lave saved, for your money will real y grow In the bank, ropyrlfht.
