THE time to economize is when you don 't have to. -Said a business man the other day: "Nearly every company has prosperous seasonsvand unprosperous onestimes when money comes easy and -other times when income falls short of outgo. And everybody from the poorest tenant to the wealthiest iandlord. Save money and then remember : tha) up to the point where your farm ' o u.tjr cuippcu, me wisest piace io lnvesi money is in your own business, not in somebody else's business. A savings bank will pay .ww .- . I si:.., it MMMti$ftM FLOCK OF SHROPSfmifc EWES the usual tendency is to drin along while, times are pood, then skimp, cut and economize wnen times are "hard. Yet, simple, wise prudence in Prosperous times would save twice as much as .even extreme econo my saves tn narq times." This lesson is a good one for farmers also. When cotton is 25 or 30 cents a pound, too many farmers and" tenants spend recklessly for things ' they don't need at all. . Then a year or two later when cotton is .15 or 18 cents a pound, they become scared and stingy and haven't money .enough to buy things they soreljr need.. ' - This is all wrong. The.time to econo mize is wheti you don't have to. The time to make, hay is while the sun shines. The.time to save money is while there is money to save. You can "save $10 while farm products are at present prices easier than you can save $1 when times are hard. . .f : .
