HANSEN, Cas ' 7 he Value of Thrift When a young man comes into a bank and says, “lam thinking of going into business and want to see if I can borrow a little money,” the banker says: “What have you got to start in business with?” “I have saved from my earnings regularly since I first began to earn money and I have so many hundred dollars in the bank.” That young man can get any reasoyable credit at once.

Baltimore, Md., When the sweet strains of the song, ‘Mother,” played by a street piano, wafted through windows kept wide open because of the balmy, spring-like weather of the last few days, a Cumberland, Md., re cruit for the United States marine corps burst into tears and left the recruiting station of the “sea soldiers” in the Custom House Building today. The recruit had not yet been en listed and the recruiting officers made no effort to prevent his leaving. ‘The sound of a bursting shell in battle might have conveyed the same sort of idea to that young fellow, and it is perhaps just as well,” remarked one of the recruiting sergeants when the recruit, motherward bound, left the office. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiif9iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiii AHan/ fomnxM.
