I am the enemy of the "rainy day" dread, the foe of want. I put people in a position to take advantage of tlielr opportunities. I am belter thun a health resort, and more soothing than a needed vacation. I mean better opportunities for your children, and a position of re spect in your community.

Two forward movements came up for discussion. The first was the ' matter of securing from the North ern Pacific railway more sidetrack age. which is very much needed at this time because of the increased business originating in Oroflno. Ac cording to preliminary estimates, several hundred cars of lumber and other commodities will be shipped out of Oroftno this fall. The present trackage is Inadequate for the hand- ! ling of this volume of business. An The meeting was called to order by C. D. MncEnehron, president the Oroflno club. On motion, the chairman appointed three commit tees as follows: The first committee composed of W. B. Kinne, C. D. Mao Eachron, J. M. Molloy and Rev. J. A. Hoffman. Is to draw up resolu tions to be presented to the officials of the railroad company relative to the additional trackage. These res ol,itions are to be submitted to the Lewiston commercial club for their Action was also taken to send | delegates to the godd fellowship meeting to be held at Lewiston on : June 29. an invitation having been j received from the Lewiston club. | The chairman appointed John Olid, A.

A matter of probably much more) Importance for the future was pro posed when the suggestion was made that the Oroflno commercial I club and the Oroflno club be reor I ganized for the purpose of doing co j operative work along the lines of I civic improvement ; by uniting the two organizations it will be possible to work more effec tlvely.

Affleck thinks that Facts—Not Mere Figures Do you know that at the age of 4 5—87 per cent of men meet with financial reverses, and lose their entire accumulation? Do you know that at the age of 50—93 per cent of men have lost all by this age. And do you know that at the age of 60—96 per cent of men are now dependent upon their daily earnings, or on their children for support? AND WHY THIS PECENTAGE SO LARGE This we dare not say. but we do know that there is no rea son for any man not being self-supporting at the age of sixty, be cause some time during life EVERY MAN can save ten dollars a week for ten years, and this amount deposited in a savings ac count will amount to $6396.40. That's a lot of money to accum ulate by small weekly saving and ten years is but a short period of a man's earning period.
