A VERY RICH MAN H£S SAID:

“The American people are prodigal and our ex-
travagance will have to be paid for by some one.
People are taking advantage of prosperity, such as has
never been excelled in this country, to be wasteful
and extravagant. We are not saving up for the rainy
d^y—for the time of need."
HOW IS IT WITH YOU?
Are you saving and creating a fund which will
work for you when you no longer can work for your-
self? Your better judgment and your common sense
tell you that it is better to
Save Your Money Now
Even at a sacrifice, if necessary, than to want or be
dependent upon others in your old age. But saving
is only one-half your duty. You must invest your
savings wisely.

THE KNOCKER
(Commercial Secretaries Association)
The knocker will knock, as all knockers do,
He may hurt his own business, as well as hurt you,
But that makes no difference, he sees nothing good,
He knocks and does nothing, wouldn’t if he could.
He knocks the new railroad, says there’s nothing to It^
Knocks the new bank, says it won’t last a minute,
Knocks the new school house, there’s not enough kids,
Said the price was too high when they opened the bid.
Knocks at the editor, says he is slow,
Knocks at the preacher, he is a mighty poor go,
Knocks the merchant—says the prices are too high,
Knocks at the lawyers—says they all lie.
Knocks at the doctors—says they are quacks,
Says real estate men don’t deal in facts,
So he knocks and knocks—poor lonesome devil,
Trying to get others down to his level.
Oh! give me the booster—the man with a smile.
Who gives you the glad hand without any guile,
Who will go out of his way to show you around,
And tell of the good things found in his town.
When he gets to Heaven at the pearly gate,
He will find a welcome, early and late,
While the poor old knocker, so sour and crusty,
Will find the gate closed and the hinges rusty.

Like New
Step outside and look at your home from your neigh-
bor’s viewpoint. How many articles does your neighbor
see that are marred, scratched or shabby? How many
floors are rough and porous and hard to keep clean?
Which room could be brightened up and made cozy?
All these can be made iike new at trifling cost by
using a few small cans of Lincoln Paints or Varnishes.
Our “Home Painting Jobs’’ booklet tells you how you can
do it yourself. Ask for it—it’s free.
