Some Parents Bring Up
Their Children as if Life
Were a Holiday
After much observation, it is apparent that
many fathers and mothers do not teach their
boys the value of time or money, though they
expect them to turn out models of thrift.
All children should be taught to work and
to save as well as to play. "A penny saved is a
penny earned." s
These young, innocent travelers should not
be put on the untried road of life, in its early
morning, without a sympathetic view of the
course to follow, c&ref ully laid out from an' old
traveler's observation and experience.
Let the mothers also, who did so much to
win the war by their well-regulated work, have
a say to their big, growing boys.
Advise your boys to open an account in one
of the good savings funds.
Signed
Jan. SO, 1020.

Want and Makes No
"Great oaks from little acorns -grow"
may be an old-fashioned sort of
saying, but it is very instructive to note
what a number of things in the world
are based on old-time ideas and princi
ples. In fact, it has been our experience
that the more solidly an institution or
an event grounds itself upon these old
principles, the more it is bound to grow,
and what is very important the
sounder and the healthier will the
growth of it be.
To ourselves, the most satisfactory
feature of our Furniture Sale is not
that it has become something of a mer
cantile phenomenon, not that it is the
largest and most important retail sale
in the world, but that the largeness of
it is due to the soundness of it.
It ha taken something like thirty
years for it to become what it is, so you
see there is nothing of the mushroom
about it, but rather something that is
very like an oak of the giarrfc order, an
