As the twig is inclined, the tree will grow. If you teach the child the saving habit by starting a bank account, the habit will grow.

An efficient school board directs a corps of capable teachers, from the kindergar-den to the post graduate course, training the children not only in lessons contained in the text books but in general knowledge and morals that go to make up manly and womanly characters, thus preparing those who take the course for life's career and successful conquest.

Last week just as the forms were put on the press, the electric "juice" flickered and died a slow and horrible death. Not a wheel could be turned until Friday afternoon when the power plant was again able to furnish electricity, after a shut down caused by the sudden rise in the river Thursday night.

Here we find also, thriving business activity, housed in quarters probably not equalled by any city of like size in the state.
