Your C&ildrrjn's Future
The fortune and success of your children to a large
extent will depend upon the start you give them when
they are young. It is not the amount of money you
leave them so much as it is the,kind of habits they learn
from joul ' ,
The dollar they save out oh will mr an a great deal
all through in the bank, where they can see it grow,
; means more than just a little money saved up. It wil
mean the firm establishment, early in life, of the habit
of thrift, which will mean a great tieal all through Kfev,
The thrift habit has been at the ' root of most busi
ness successes.
Are you going to give your children a start and
encouragement along this road? ... .

: The canker worm army has' ar
rived In Abilene and thousands of
these little pests are starting to de
stroy the foliage of the many pretty
elm trtes here. AblleneiteS should
tight this army by spraying their
trees, for If the canker worm gets
the lead, the elm trees are doomed
to lose their leaves. Many elm trees
at Lawrenoe and Topeka were prac
tically stripped of their foliage y
