Sure Road to Wealth
In the American Magazine a writer
In tho family money department says:
"There la one sure road to wealth.
It Is not a get-rlch-qulck scheme, no
wildcat mining venture, no specula
tion. It is simply a common sense
way of attaining a small fortune In a
strictly legitimate way.
"A dollar deposited In a savings
bank each week for twenty years
would amount to $ 1,012.
"Five dollars deposited each week
for tho samo length of time would be
come $8,000. The Interest on this $S,
000 would be $0 a week. Any ono fol
lowing out this plan of weekly deposits
of $5 for twenty years could at the end
of that period draw out of the bank
JO a week as long as he lived and still
leave to his wife and family at his
death not only all ho deposited, but
half as much more.
"The young man of twenty who will
save 27Hi cents a day In a savings
bank paying 4 per cent compound In
terest and keep up these payments or
deposits till he Is seventy years of age
would havo a fortune of $29,000, which
would pay luterest of $22 each week.
This Interest would be about ten times
the amount saved each week."

Who Am I?
The following was originated by the
Southern Pacific company and is re
ceiving wide currency in safety first
campaigns:
"I am more powerful than the com
bined armies of the world, _ ^ ^
"I have destroyed more men than all
the wars of the nationsi
"I steal. In the United States alone,
over $j00,000,000 each year.
"I spare no one, and I find my vie-;
tlms among the rich and the poor
alike, the young and the old, the strong
and weak. Widows and orphans know
me.
"1 loom up to such proportions that
I cast my shadow over every field of
labor, from the turning of the grind-'
stoue to the moving of every railroad
train.
"I massacre thousands of wage earn
ers in a year.
"I lurk in unseen places and do most
of my work silently. You are warned
against me, but you heed not.
"I am relentless.
"I am everywhere—In the home, on
the streets, in the factory, at railroad
crossings and on the sea.
"I bring sickness, degradation and
death, yet few seem to avoid me.
"I destroy, crush or maim; I give
nothing, but take nil.
"I am vour worst enemy.
"I am CARELESSNESS."
What Is Success?
What Is success? To gain a share of gold?
To have one's wealth In envious accents
told?
To see one's picture flaunted In the press?
Ah, there be those who label this success!
What Is success? To win a little fame?
To hear a. fickle world applaud your name?
To be accounted as n genius? Tea,
And there be these who label this success!
But have we not another standard still
To Judge a man of character and will?
Are gold and fame the only measures
tried?
In all the world is there no test beside?
Ah, yes—the man who meets, with cour
age grim,
The daily duties that devolve on him.
The petty, mean, heartbreaking cares that
tire
The patient soul that never may aspire.
Howe'er so cramped the field wherein he
works.
He has not failed—the man who never
shirks,
The man who tolls for years without a
break
And treads the path of pain for others'
sake.
There Is a myriad of such men today.
Who, all unnoted, walk the weary way.
Upon their shoulders still the cross may
press,
But who will say they have not won suc
cess?

One Farmer's Method of
Keeping Hi * Doy at Home
In a county of Oklahoma lives a fam
lly of four membors—father, mother,
son and daughtor—says the Country
Gentleman. The son Joined the BoyB'
Corn club In 1012. Ho was encouraged
by his father. The boy got the best
acre on the farm. Ho got the barn
yard mauure for fertilizer. His father
assisted him In getting good seed and
advised him with his work. The boy
was permitted to have sufficient time,
horses and machinery to care for hla
crop as directed by the department of
agriculture. The boy grow 101 bushels
of corn on his one acre the first year.
Every year since he has been a mem
ber of the boys' clubs. He has always
been successful In his work. He has
learned the game and has been apply
ing the lessons In his father's field as
well as his own. He has become known
throughout Oklahoma as a breeder of
Johnston county white seed corn. His
seed corn Is in demand at $3 a bushel.
During tho four years that he has been
q club member he has won more than
$400 worth of prizes. Ho Joined the
Tig club and became Interested In live
stock. He now owns seven head of
pure bred Duroc-Jersey hogs, six head
of well bred cattle and a horse. This
stock ho has secured from the income
he has received from his elub work,
Tho homo is Ideal. Tho father and
son are now as chummy as schoolboys.
They work to each other's Interests.
The father calls tiio boy his partner,
The boy feels tho responsibility of
making tho father's work a success.
There Is no thought of this boy's leav
ing homo. The city has no attraction
for him. no says he wants to learn all
he can about agriculture so ho can help
his folks make home more attractive.

Practice Safety First
In Crossing Car Tracks
Different drivers linve their own
ways of guarding against danger when
crossing ear tracks, saya Farm and
Fireside. One experienced car owner
gives his views on the, subject as fol
lows:
No hard and fast rule can bo laid
down, because scarcely any two cross
lugs are alike. LJut there Is one cau
tion which always applies: "Don't
take a chance: find out if there Is dan
ger." If you can see a quarter of a
mile or more up and down the track
and no train or traction car Is in sight
cross the track at a lively rate of
speed, anyhow fifteen miles an hour.
Some drivers stop too near the track
and then try to go over slowly. If a
train whistles they lose their heads
and may kill their engine by putting
on" too much power. Always have
enough momentum to carry you across
Another thing: When a clear view
of the track In both directions is
blocked by buildings or trees, stop
your car and have some one get out
and look, or If you are alone slow down
the motor enough so you can hear au
approaching car or train. If no train
can be seen or heard then cross with
plenty of power, but never try to beat
a train across. Under all circum
stances have your feet ready on the
pedals and decide beforehand what
you would do in case of danger.
Darning Hint.
It is much easier to use a black
stocking darner when darning white
stockings and a white one when darn
ing black, as It is easier to see where
you place the threads.

In glowing terms
the orator con
trasted home life

"What Is It we

our burden, to gladden our hearts, to

He paused for effect, and In the si
lence could be heard the voice of the
keeper of the peace:
"Mind, the first bloke that says

Wonders of Science.
A camera man, working for the edu
cnflonnl dennrtmpnt of n film pomnnnv
met nn old farm
er coming out of n
house In one of
the middle states
and explained his
presence on the
place thus:
"I have Just
been taking some
moving pictures
of life on your
farm."
"Did you catch
any of my labor
ers in motion?" asked the old mac
curiously.
"Sure I did."
The farmer shook his head reflective
ly and then said:
"Science is a wonderful thing."
