A SAVINGS ACCOUNT is the
sane and safe road to future comfort.
Any one can save money if they open
a savings account and deposit their
savings each week:
Every fortune must first have a
foundation. Let a savings account be
the stepping stone to yours. This
bank invites you to open both a sav
ings and a checking account.
A CKECKNG ACCOUNT enables
you to keep an accurate account of
your expenditures. The record of the
payment is there in black and white in
case of 'dispute.
It isa fact that the man who pays all
of his hills by check is more careful of
his expenses than the man who just
“digs down and forks it over.”
A checking account is- a great stim
ulant to the habit of saving.

Ample sunlight in dairy barns, to
gether with dryness and ample vent
ilation are potent agencies in pre
venting tuberculosis in the dairy
herd—airti other diseases as well.
Another element of prevention lies
in building up vitality and resist
ance to disease. Animals whose
bod'es are in a vigorous active con
dition throw off many infections
which might otherwise cause serious
illness.

A Little Talk On
Thrift
(By S. W. Straus, President Ameri
can Society for Thrift)
“It is out of the question for me
building | 10 save any money on my present
income.”
Statements of this kind are often
heard. In the majority of instances,
though made with complete sincer
ity, they reperesent a viewpoint that
is exceedingly unsound.
Such an attitude is the philosophy
of failure—of mental surrender to
those forces of life that are ever
striving to drag all men down to
defeat. There are limits to the pos-
sibilit'es of human accomplishment,
but within the range of reason no one
should ever say “I can’t.”
The correct viewpoint is to say*
“I can,” or “I will.”
It may seem unimportant to many
that they are uftable to spend a l ; t-
tle less than they earn. They may
feel that in other ways they are suc
ceeding and the mere fact of saving
money is of small consequence. There
is not an individual in the world,
however, who should not be getting
ahead at least a little financially as
the days go by, not only because no
one can tell what future financial
needs may be forced upon one, but
also because saving should be in
dulged in as a matter of personal
discipline.
Unwillingness to sdve is more of
ten a state of mind than a state of
purse.
What the *T can’t” really say to
themselves is something like this—
“I can’t save any money without
giving up some of the luxuries I
havie become accustomed to. It
would mean inconvenience and sac
rifice and I am not willing to pay
this price.”
There are thousands of men and
women in the world who have forced
their way to the front from poverty
and obscurity. They did not belong
to the “I can’ts.” They learned that
overcoming obstacles, such as saving
money when it would seem almost
impossible to do sq, has been the
very thing that has brought them
out. and made them capable of still
greater and greater accomplish
ments.
