He became ac- quainted with city life and its attractions; he saw new lands, he enjoyed strange Scenes with the lusty imagination and blood of youth. Then he came back and went to work at the first job he found and saved himself a grubstake. Back in the wilds, three miles from a road, a mile and a half from the end of a trail, two miles from a house, he discovered a wooded hill that was open to entry. So he filed on it and all last winter thru the mud and snow and the rain he daily packed tn, on his back, saws and sledges and wedges and windows and hardware and axes; “packed in building material, 50 pounds at a time; packed it in by the ton. From the standing trees he hewed him a log-and-shake house; carefully he rived Out his shakes, one by one, carefully he fitted and matched and joined and hewed Until from the clump of giant trees there was metamorphosed a cabin; _ Square with the compass, water tight and wind proof. Not in a day, or a week, or six months did this house arise. cosy, four Every once in a while the builder would have to stop his own work and find a job for a month to renew his funds; but finally the house stood completed, finally the tiny stove was packed in, the wash tub and the wash board, and the bedding and the utensils, and the lan- t and the lamp, and the cat, and a winter’s store of groceries; and then this in- telligent, lusty, vigorous young man, who could make better than the average “living” cities, moved in. And thru this long, dismal Oregon winter he will live alone in the hills with his cat, clear a patch of ground, inch by inch, will work and smoke and dream dreams of his great great grandchildren will find on this forest hill. years of this slavery he will go thru and then a beneficent Uncle Sam will it him with 80 acres of down logs and stumps and a young mountain far from a The average man wouldn't take the 80 and $100 a month as 2 gift if he had to it as this man will clear it. That is the way our fathers blazed the trail for us; that is the spirit that made this and that is the spirit that is seldom found in towns or in cities, and that well nigh perished from the face of the earth. : 2 Is this man happy?

His lat- est effort gives to a breathless world the “news” that if Me thusaleh, well known troglodyte of Chaldea, had deposited $1 in the savings bank af 21 years of age and had kept it there at 6 per cent compounded annually to ‘the day of his death at 969 years, the amount which the bank would have credited to his estate would been 977 sextillions of dol- lars! But who cares whether Old Dad Methusaleh broke, the bank of Ararat or not?) What we are in- ‘terested in is the here and now. And here are a few things that we know, or at least OUGHT to know, about the present: First, that the wealth of the world in historic times, has actual ly inereased less than 1 per cent annually! Second, that conforming to the ancient law of Moses, the whole world, or rather the economic moratorium about every half cen- tury. Third, that the law that it is “three generations from shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves” still holds pretty true in spite of the in herited millions of those who tolled not nor spun, and Fourth, that it is neither true nor important that you can make a million by saving a dollar, but it is everiastingly true, that if you DO NOT save, some day in the not far distant future you'll £0 broke and become a charge on your relatives, friends or the state. Methusaleh has been a long time dead, but the law still holds good that “You can't have your cake and eat it too.” Now, while you're young, is the time to start putting away a portion of your earnings for the inevitable rainy day. You may never have a million, but if you develop habits of ordi- nary thrift, you will be much hap- pier than a million dollars could ever make you, Carl had better keep out of America until the New York wait- ers’ strike ed.
