CARELESSNESS
Carelessness is the alarming evil of
the hour. Anything from inconvenience
to death is caused by this evil.
Thousands are having cases docketed
i gainst i ht-m in the courts of the land
for carelessness.
Millions of dollars are being spent
> i irly to prevent accidents caused by
carelessness of automobile drivers and
heedless fools who go rushing on re
gardless of the consequence.
How careless the present generation
is! What is the cause of all of this?
There are too many reasons to record,
but just a few won’t lie out of
Carelessness summed up as a whole is
.uised by the lack of seriousness and
iking lightly the view point of life. We
don’t get serious tvith ourselves We
need to go off alone and consider this
thing, of existence we call life
After all life is a battle ground where
we meet issues, How we fight to win
will determine the prize awarded at
the end.
How many bright and promising
careers have been blotted, marred by
indifference and carelessness. 1 am
confident that the accident death rate
in the United States alone runs into the
thousands.
How terrible! A life is lost by careless
ness. Carelessness amounts to crime
/ in many instances.
There are college bred men and
women whose English is frightful. It
isn’t that they don’t know better, it is
carelessness. Our education is
by the English we use. We should
more careful in Its use.
Now to come, right home with
subject—A careless man or woman
practically a failure, I,et us leave
of our lives this we call
W. R. S.
M«re or Lom Vanity ani Vexation.
When goods Increase they are in
creased that eat them, and what good
is there to the owners thereof, saving
the beholding of them with their eyes?
—Ecclesiastes.

The Old Sock Bank
An Expensive
Xow and then we hear of some one
who still uses a trunk or an old sock
for depositing their earnings of a ltfe
time Thesi- reports usually come after
a burglar has visited the home and re
moved the cash and left the mister a
pauper.
A recent nyws item told of an nc
j ;currente in Heard county which is
| j typical of the practices of early .days
i when banks were few and remote. Now
that banks are operated in practically
every community, officered b.v reliable
men and backed by the state arid federal
government, it is inexcusable on the
part of anyone to harbor Their earning*
in unsafe places. Here is an account
’ f the Heard county incident:
.1 P. Sin-Unit), one of the oldest eiti
zens ot Heard county, has had *10.800
stolen from him. He had an iron tx>x
in his trunk where lie kept his money.
Sunday, he went to count it and the bot
tom had been tukeu out and no money
was to l>e found. Mr. Shelltiut. is n
man who does not believe in keeping
his money in banka. The money was
the saving* of a lifetime.
Money deposited in batiks is as saC«*
as human agencies can make it. There
are few hank failures and few robberies
of banks. They are as safe from burg
lars and safe from failure as it is )>os
sible for stringent rules and protections
of all kinds can make them. The man
who has no more regard for the safety
of his earnings and accumulations than
to deposit thorn in unsafe and unpro
tected holes deserves to lose, and if past
experiences count for anything, he is
certain to lose without hopes of recov
ery.—Athens Banner Herald.
Loses Life While Trving

HOW COULD HE TELL?
When the woman motorist was cad

"What do you want with me?”
“You were traveling at forty mile* an

▼ here are some things you
should know.
We made a canvass of men who
bought rival cars in this class. And
we found that 96 in each 100 bought
without knowing these facts.
So, for your sake and our sake, we
want to present them to you.
Save $200 to $400
Studebaker builds 150,
000 fine cars yearly. It
builds in model factories,
modemly equipped. It
has spent $38,000,000 in
the past five years on
new-day plants and
equipment.
By quantity and up-to
dateness it saves large
sums per car. A car like
this Light-Six, built un
der ordinary conditions,
would cost $200 to $400
more.
11A % less to run
This supreme quality
means lower operating of
cost. Owners of fleets
cars in this class made
audited records to prove
this.
They compared 329
cars, running up to 25,000
miles each. And they
found that the Stude
baker Light-Six cost
11.4% less to operate
than the average of its
rivals. This includes de-
was nearly
one cent per mile.
The reasons are these
The Studebaker Light-Six, in its
chassis, represents the best we know.
In steel and in workmanship it is
identical with the costliest cars we
build.
