So will the tree incline. We hive all seen this proverb illus trated so often that It is a wonder that we don’t heed it more. If you can teach a child the value of money and habits of thrift And saving, you may rest secure that that child will never want for money, and will achieve a financial success. Teach the lit tle one to save a part of the money that is given to it or that it earns. Show it how to deposit that money in a strong bank where it will be safe and where the child will learn business methods. The result is just as sure as anything can be in this world. We will welcome the small account because we know’ that in time it will grow to be large and valuable.
