Save Something Each Week Tlicre’s much of human kindness in life, and thank God for it. Makes me glad I’m living. There’s a rich reward for th sympathetic tear, and the helping hand is no less a beneficir.ry than that of tlie helped. But if you’ve wasted your earnings, how can you aid a fallen brother, care for an Invalid father or mother, educate a little sister, or minister to the wants of the unfortunate. The sweets that flow from the ability and inclination to do those things arc beyond the measuring power of doilarb and cents. FATHER, HUSBAND, BROTHER, are you deing your bei-t to put aside .something each week to li.ghten the shad ws, the gloom, the dreariness, the destitution, which may follow your sickness or death? And. also, who knoweth when they will come? One can pass into the Great Beyond with a sweeter smile, and say his last farewell with a real joy, ^f he's done his best, and knows that by his indus try. his wisdom, liis savings, the loved ones he’s leaving behind—a sorrowing wife, 'iveeiiing little ones, and. perhaps,an aged mother—will be spared the rag:ied pathway, the rocks, the shoalsof life. T.^E MUTUAL BUILDING AND LOAN has been engaged for 30 years in furnishing opportunities, simple, practi- al, unequalled by any other system of finance, for furthering these ends. It presents AGAIN and NOW to you, no matter where you dwell; the best known method^ of providing against the “rainy days” to which all man kind is heir. Neeglect of this imperative duty seems almost criminal Will you continue to defer this matter? First payment, new series, on or before 1st Saturday in next month. E. L.
