SAVING MONEY.
"How use doth breed a habit. "
. A man is more than the ) ) creature
! " ' . of circumstance , hc is also thc
' creature of habit. The lessons
c . remembered thc longest arc hc
f lessons which arc learned at
. homc.
The boy who is taught honesty
truthfulness and kindness is
usual 13' an honest , truthful and
considerate citizeti when hc becomes -
comes a man. 'hc boy who br
, parental indulgence is permitted
to spend all thc money hc obtains
is usually thc spendthrift man.
lIc has never learned thc value of
thc dollar nor has he ever come
J to thc knowledge that it is well
+ to spcnd less I than you earn.
'l'hc best time in life to form a
1 , habit is in , childhood , and one of
I many valuable habits is that of
\ sang .
' " If a child grows accustomed ,
l'
grows used to sa\ ' ngthc very
. , , , custom will create a habit.

" the advcrtiscmcnt of the Falls
City State Bank in this issue iso -
so fraught with good for thc chil-
drcn of ' this vicinity that for this
once we depart from the rule amid ]

I Start a hank account for thc
boy ; get him interested in his
savings ; encourage him to earn
' more money that hc may increase
thc account. This will teach
j'
him habits of industry as well as

personal pride in his financial f

interstate and Bcll companies
have been admittcd. The 'eri-
bUllc has advocated such a course
and will continue to do so until

tation. 1'0 ascertain whether or
not this is true wc invite a discussion -
cussion of the question from both
sidcs. \Vc will gladly publish

GOOD ROADS.
Every year thiscounty has several -
eral thousand dollars for road
purposes. Every year the money
is dribbled out among thc various
subdivisions of the county , a lit-
tIc here and a little thCIC. There {
is no law which com pcls such
action , and there is very little
result obtaincd. Would it not bc
better to use thc money to build
a few milcs of permanently good
road : than to build many milt of
poor road ? Why not take half
the money to build enduring
roads over the botfoms and next
year build permanently good
roads it : other locations until wc
have the entire county traversed
with such highways ? At thc
end of ten ) ears such a system
will produce something for the
money , while under thc present
system thc result is but a temporary -
ary improvemcnt. If wc should

CHRISTMAS DINNER.
A few weeks agowe spoke of
thc custom of one little boy who
a I"a I \'S invited several ! I of his unfortunate -
fortunate school mates to take
'l'IJanksgivingdinncr with him.
As a result of that item at least
a dozen little chaps were invited
to good dinncrs. who would otherwise -
wise have gone hung-n' One little
fellow invited a colored boy to
'l'hanksg- \ing- dinner with him.
Promptly on time hc came , his
white waste stilT with starch , his
face shining from anticipated
pleasure nosed with soap and
water , his kinky head brushed as
never before , and the whites of
his eyes rolling at thc sight of
turkey and fixinls.
That little boy will remember
his thanksgiving dinner for years
to comc. It wasn't much to defer
for him , but it was a great deal
to him. .
\\'hy not make some child
happy on Christmas ? You don't
know whom to invite ? Your
child docs. Give your boy or
girl permission to invite a poor
school mate to Christmas dinncr.
