Ah, how many young men have been given this bit of good, wholesome advice! The
young man, perhaps dependant alone upon a meagre salary from a position nonejtoo se«
cure, should early learn to lay by a small portion of his earnings.
Start a Bank
Account!
St.irt it now. If you have
only one dollar you can
spare from the necessities
of i:fe start with it.
Watch it grow! It WILL
grow, and it won't take
long and if you conscient-
iously add every dollar
you don't absolutely
need, instead of spend-
ing it, perhaps foolishly.

NATIONAL BANK
encourages young people
to save their money, and
offers them an absolutely
safe, reliable investment.

A GOOD LAW.
Secretary McHabb Talks of the Nursery
Law Passed By the Present
Legislature.
'Guthrie, Okla.. October 16.—
"Numbers of men in Oklahoma
have been sent to the peniteu-
tiary for loug terms for horse-
stealing." said Secretary C. A.
McNabb of the territorial board
of agriculture, "but a worse crime
than horse stealing, iu my opiu-
ion. has goue unwhipped of jus-
tice for sixteen years, aud not
until the last legislature was it
possible to prosecute thes? crim-
iuals with any certainty of sue- i
cess.
"I speak of the shyater nursery
ageuta who by fraud aud miarep-
indentation have been filling the'
| j orchards of Oklahoma uot only
Lwith diseased trees, but selling as.
f high class varieties the cheapest,
[ftftiaott worthless rubbish that
could be found. I kuow of fruit
growers in the Early days of Ok-
lahoma who paid faucy prices for
alleged budded peach trees, only
to learn iu two or three years
that they had beeu cheated with
common seedliugs.
"To abolish this evil iu the
sale of nursery stock iu Oklaho-
ma, the last legislature enacted
a iaw regulating the^ importation
aud sale of nursery stock. All
nursery canvassers are now re-
quired to carry a permit issued
by the board of agriculture. The
dealer who has no nursery, but
depends upou buying rubbish to
fill his orders, can yo longer op-
erate in Oklahoma. The board
has enforced the law this sum-
mer aud a number of disreputa-
ble dealers aud agents have beeu
punished.
•'All shipments of nursery
stock coming into Oklahoma for
delivery must bear tags on which
is printed a copy of the board's
certifficate ot luspection, and the
fac simile signature of the s •-
retary ot the board. As sr.^h
tags can be procured only from
the board of agriculture, it will
be diffioult and daugerous to de-
liver contrabaud stock, especially
since railroad aud express agents
are subject to heavy fiues for de-
livering shipmeuts uot officially
tagged."
iu writing lor the magazine or
popular literary journals. Write
for your local paper, the Times,
which has some literary charac-
ter, giving the news of your vi-
cinity in the plainest language
you can command.
Accidents, fires, robberies,
deaths, marriages, charities aud
cruelties are neighborhood hap-
penings that, are worthy of being
recorded. The close observer be-
comes the successful writer.
There are mauy things, when
properly recorded, of deep in-
terest, though the careless per-
son will scarcely notice them.
He who cau write neighborhood
news and happenings in plain,
spicy style, without uunecessary
words, ^has a beautiful accom-
plishment. He has a gift of
pleasautly imparting Ins know-
led* to others, and if he is a
school teacher he will surely suc-
ceed iu that professiou.
