Habit is the deepest law of nature. We first make our habits, and then our habits make us. Sow and act, and you reap a habit; sow a habit, and you reap a character; sow a character, and you reap a destiny. It's essentially as easy to form one habit as another ---as easy to be habitually prudent and saving as . habitually extravagant. Train yourself to Rave a reasonable portion ofyour income, and such saving will soon become well-nigh as automatic as the heart ac- tion itself. Of course, nobody else can confer the Saving Habit upon us— we have to do the work ourselves. But effort always brings resnits---and the results of the Saving Habit are very much worth while. With yesterday gone fiirerer, and tomorrow yet to come, when must necessarily be our time fin . action—today, qfcourse---it's all the time to (have.

This law provides that every entryman who enters the army or navy forces shall be given credit for the necessary residenee and cultivation on the land as long as he serves. If he is dis- charged for wounds _received or disease incurred in line of duty, then the full term of his enlist- ment shall be applied to the re- quired residence. If he dies in service patent to the land shall issue immediately to his widow, or in case of her death to his minor orphan children or his le- gal representatives. With the entry of this country into war, Congressman John M, Evans realized that thousands of men would be called to the col- ors who had unperfected home- stead entries, and that these men might be protected he intro- duced a bill which has now be- come a law. \Brewster's Millions,\ a five - reel Paramount feature, will be shown at the Play House on Thursday evening, July 19th.

Then he turned again to Liberty. \Is that so?\ \Yes but I did not love him,\ an- swered Liberty. \I hated him.
