Most Millionaires began with Little. I Most cf them at first had to fight j every inch of the way, saving dollar by dollar, until they had capital j worth while. Then they put their money to work where it would earn the most. We all can’t become millionaires, but everyone who works can make 1 START in that direction by systc riat'c saving. And never yet has that start been made but the person making it hat had cause to rejoice sooner or later. We would like to be your bankers. We guarantee you safety and the highest rate of interest for every dollar you entrust to us. FIRST NATIONAL BANE j DECATUR, INDIANA Members Federal Reserve Association. J. C. RODGERS CHAS. K.

[FRUGALITY ON THE FARM ‘ Secir.t tc Be Generally Recognized That Agriculturist Is Seldom a Spendthrift. The simplicity, frugality and thrift of life In the country, pictured us folj lows by Archbishop Messmer, who evii dently Is fond of his subject as well i as intimately familiar with it, makes I a striking contrast with the wasteful , extravagance seen in the cities: "Country life seems to be particu- ' larly productive of habits of frugality and economy. As a rule, you do not see much 'high life’ on farms; what there Is comes from the city. You see not many dainties on the farmer's table. A good, substantial meal of country products, bread of his own baking, ham of his own smoking, good water I from his own well, and perhaps some hard cider from his own press—that's - all he wants. Economy—did you ever I hear of a farmer spendthrift? He is a rare bird. Is it not proverbial that nothing is so hard as to pull a dollar from a farmer’s pocket? He will give you bushels of oats or potatoes, a sack cf cabbageheads, a chicken or even a goose, a ham. or a mutton-leg—all things that you cannot easily take along: but cash, oh. you must please wait until he has sold his stock, or grain or potatoes. Well, let us admit that this may be a little overdone — the fact remains that country folks are known all over the world as a saving class —far more than city folk. If It happens that a farmer has got some money, he is very slow in pulting It out on speculation, he is afraid of oil and mining stocks. He puts it in the bank, or, better still, on good and safe mortgages He saves" WHEN KINGS WERE FIGHTERS In the Old Days Rulers Were Not Kept Out of Battle, But Led Their Soldiers. The tendency of czars, kaisers, kings and other potentates to get into the European war personally is marked. Several times it has been necessary to pull the kaiser off the firing line. King George, beyond all doubt, is just as brave, and the czar is known to have a , similar hankering for the trenches. As ; for the king of Italy, if his country | were to enter the war it would be en- j tirely impossible to keep the gallant i Victor Emmanuel II out of the first fight that happened, with his inherit- I ance from a long line of fighting kings, I and particularly from his father, King I Humbert, whose personal intrepidity, [ shown at Novara and elsewhere, over [ came all dynastic objections to his ex- - posure to bullets and bombshells. It must indeed be galling to the ern- 1 perors and kings to have to keep out of these sciaps. In the old days it was I always the business of kings to lead ' their troops in the very forefront of I battle. Consider Richard Coeur de - Lion, for instance. He fought day aft , er day in the Crusades, performing I prodigies of valor. Even Richard 111. I the alleged hunchback, stood or rode for hours in the front rank, slashing and spearing and beating down all opposition. In those days a king had to be a fighter. In other words, every inch ; i a king. War and Copper. Since the commencement of the twentieth century nearly 8,000,000 tons of copper have been extracted from their ores, and have been consumed in the chief manufacturing countries of i the world, and now the demands of . war are further diminishing the world’s copper supplies. The value of this metal, at an average price of £6O per ton for the whoie period, is £480,000,000, or nearly two thirds of our national debt. How long can the earth continue to supply this enormous amount df copper, or to keep pace with the increasingly rapid growth in j - the demand of the red metal? It would | I certainly seem quite probable that within the next twenty years all the “known" ore reserves of the existing j mines will be worked out. and that un- I less new ore deposits of vast extent | | lie discovered, copper will become one of the rarer and more costly metals before half the century is passed away. Surgeon’s First Aid. This is the sad story of a man who was rendered hors de combat at his first drill. He had joined the O. T. C. | lit- was anxious to be as smart as his more experienced comrades. In the endeavor to give an extra smart salute he managed to dislocate his shoulder. I'.sppily there were some medical students in the company who contrived to replace it. One consoled the sufferer by telling nim a classic medical story. To put a shoulder back the surgeon puts his foot against the patient’s armpit and pulls strongly at the ’ arm. A student had done this, when the examiner said: “Boots, sir! How dare you keep boots on?” The stu- i dent meekly bent down and began to unlace the patient's boots. —Manches- / ter Guardian. Cost of Big Guns. The cost of the immense Krupp guns is not known outside a certain i circle;’ nor is there data available to 1 show what It costs to fire them HowI ever, one may form a conjecture from figures in the United States ordnance reports. If a three-inch battery costs $86,000 and fires a 15-pound projectile, at a cost, of sls for each shot; a six- 1 inch battery costs $169,000 and fires a IGS-pound projectile, at a cost of S6O; j a 16-inch gun throws a projectile weighing 2,400 pounds, at a <)St ot $12,000 —what, then, must be the cost ot a 25 Inch cannon and the load of ammunition discharged from it! — Eagle Magazine

100 HAPPY TO BE SORRY Wherein Rapturous Lover Gives a New Meaning to "From Hand to Mouth.” “To the sweetest girl I know: “I kissed you. Just once, mind, and the point to be settled Is. can a man be forgiven who doesn’t repent! You see, 1 don’t pretend to repent. I'm too lappy to be sorry. I "Remember. Roseleaf. I had the soft dght of the conservatory to back me. and the scent of the Killarneys. 1 here was a little fountain somewhere, splashing sprinkles into a quiet pool The violins back iu the ballroom throbbed the Tipperary one-step and the dancers hummed the words. All 1 did was to kiss your fingers as they lay on my coat sleeve. "It is a long, long way to go, sweetness, before a fellow as young as 1 am can hope to provide a suitable home for a wife, your father says. Oh, yes, 1 ve lust come from seeing him and quite by accident 1 stumbled on to a secret Ages and ages ago your father loved my mother, but wise old grannies interfered until—l’ll tell you the rest [ when I come down tonight, if I may come, and if you —if I —if we! "Oh, blossom child, you little flower , maiden, listen! About that kiss, if you don't forgive me this minute I'll do worse yet. I'll go ‘from hand to mouth.' That's another phrase your father taught me. "Till tonight, then, and these roses to love you every moment. Oh, the joy of loving vou! Yours forever, "JACK." j —Chicago Tribune. WERE MEN OF FEW WORDS Great Fighters Wasted Little Time in Composition of Dispatches That Told of Victory. It is fitting that the great soldier, who should be a man of deeds rather than words, should set an example ot terseness in his dispatches. Thus, as ter the capitulation of Prague, Suva ' I roil thus communicated the joyful; ' news to his empress, “Hurrah! I Prague!” to which Catherine, not to i be outdone in brevity, answered, "Bra ! vo! Field Marshal!” That grim sea dog, Robert Blake ; after gaining one of his famous vic- ; tories over the French, sent the news i in this concise and businesslike form j “Met with the French fleet; beat, i killed, and burned as per margin." The Vicomte de Turenne, marshal I of France, was a man of equally few I words, as he proved when, after his [ brilliant defeat of Conde at the Dunes ; in 1685. he announced his triumph in i ten words: "The enemy came, was ; beaten; I am tired; good night!” But the worlds greatest generals ■ have always been models of brevity as to modesty since the days ol I Caesar, whose “I came, I saw, I con quered," gint to his friend Amintius, ' after the glorious victory over Pharnaces at Zela, is the most famous "dispatch” in the annals of war. The American Girl. We are proud of the American girl, and justly so. She has not her equal in all the wide, wide world. She has grace of mind as well as of face. She is vivacious and piquant, yet with a reserve of dignity that is a shield and buckler. [ She is abreast of the times, and rej joices in a period that is here. She is a genuine optimist, not one for mere advertising purposes. She reads much and sensibly. She Is fond of romance but detests silly sensationalism. She does not wish to be a queen and to be worshiped as such. She wishes respect and companionship , and opportunity for rational freedom ■ and self-development. She has independence without ob- j [ stinacy. ambition without fanaticism. ' She thinks for herself, and her opin- j ' ions are her own, not manufactured I for her by interested persons. With I equal facility she can wield the fan, the golf stick, the cooking utensil and even the ballot.—Philadelphia Press. Fixing the Crime. It was only a nice friendly kind of a . I “sing-song” at the hydro, but just be- ‘ i cause it was free expectations ran high, and the critics were in full force.' The young man who rose to sing “The Maiden Fair With Golden Hair” had the best Intentions in the world, but somehow he was not up to what isl called “concert pitch.” Indeed, he was 1 very much below it, and after making two or three attempts he had to capitu- j late and resume his seat at the back.' Then the benevolent-looking chairman I rose. “Ladies and gentlemen, there is notl | a word to be said against the young | gentleman. He did his best, and what can man do more? He deserves our thanks for his willingness to come forward. But Ido think that the person who asked him to sing should be shot.’’ He Knew. A teacher in a children's institution was giving the geography class a lesson on the cattle ranches. She spoke of their beef i 1 coming from the West, and, wishing to test the children’s observation, she asked; "And what else comes to us from these ranches?” This was a poser. She looked at her shoes, but no one took the hint. She tried again: “What do we get from the cattle besides beef?” One boy eagerly raised his hand. ”1 know what it is, it’s tripe,” he annnuncad triumuhantlv.. - j
