You Are A Dreamer
of dreams, a builder of castles in the air, a weaver of
hopes and wishes for the future. Good! So is every
one who is worth a snap; only don’t forget that you
may build and dream and weave to the end of time
and yet, without definite action, never see your hopes
blended with joy or realization. Decide what you
want, make up your mind to have it and then save,
and let the dimes and quarters that usually slip
through your fingers buy it for you, and they will,
in an amazingly short time, too.
One may deposit as little as 5c in our Christmas

NEW CASTLE, Ind., March 12.
—Twenty-six dead bodies have
Loen recoovered from debris of
storm wrecked homes in this city,
caused by a cyclone that swept

President Wilson has selected the

tariff board: Prof. Frank Tauss-

measures such as this country has
not been called upon to furnish
since the Spanish-American war.
Mr. Wilson will ask for immed-
iate consideration and prompt
action in passing laws that are
necessary to carry out his plan in
protecting American rights and
American lives.
I niversal training promises to
be the biggest question presented
to congress in the president's mes-
sage. The message is expeetd to
include legislation governing all
matters collateral with defense of
the Ameirean merchant marine.
The message will call for some ac-
tion to form universal service or
training for the purpose of pre-
paring American youth for war.
Young men and women

waste their summer vacation. One
vacation properly spent will pro-

ness men and farmers alike, work

boys and girls would rather spend

He who cares more for success
than heat, goes a long ways ahead

or girl who at the close of school
last year, entered the Tyler Com-
