But the business of piling up dollars ‘ just for the pleasure of looking at the 1 pile and the task of securing enough of the same dollars to provide the ne- ; cessities and some of the luxuries for { oneself and one‘s family, with a mar- . gin for emergencies, are two entirely F different propositions. A man isn’t much of a man who doesn‘t look after “ his own to the very best of his ability, 5 and, moralize as we will, there‘s no getting around the fact that money is to a certain extent the basis of happi- w v- ness in our stage of civilization. The bliss of poverty and the joys of the simple life are all very well in poetry and philosophy. but when you come to hitching ‘em up to practical everyday life they won’t work out to suit us. A dry axle squeaks for oil, and poverty. instead of sing- ing gladsome roundelays. hol- lers for help Wecan't be hap- py unless we a re co m f o rt- able. and our ideas of com fort nowadays are such that nothing but money will pro- vide it. “'8 m u s t h :l v e Piling up dollars for bread and but- the pleasure Of it‘ ter. and some of us insist upon cake.

Whether you keep on the firm ice or skate around the edge of the danger hole, you're all right unless you fall in. and then the Lord help you; Debt is the easiest hole in the world to get into and the hardest to get out of. When your mother and I were young- sters like you and Anna May. we had the same temptation to get outside our pasture and graze in the tall grass. We jumped the fence, just as you are do- ing, I’m afraid, and struck out joy- fully for “green fields beyond the swell- ing flood.” We had a gay time for awhile, but it was a mighty short while, and then we struck the rocks.

Just you and Anna May make up your minds that you'll keep on the near side of your salary, and it you don’t lay up any treasures in the bank you‘ll be accumulating an almighty big pile of peace and content- ment, a property which no man in debt ever owns, but you’ll have to take your wife into your confidence.

Then you can at least be sure that no overgrown bills will fly up and bump you in the face the first of the month. Then you need have no fear of pesky collectors hiding in ambush at every corner. Then you can walk straight down the main street with your head up like a thoroughbred. and you can look any man square in the eye and say, “Doggone your pic- ture, I don’t owe you a blamed cent!” I tell you, John, no man knows the joy of independence until he has been through the mill of the gods that grind smallest of all.
