Encouraging Thrift Among The School Children

To secure the interest of every school child in the hustling town of Bellflower, and to encourage them to work and save through the summer vacation, is the very laudable plan of Mr. Floyd Lee Lake, of the Bellflow& Lum,ber Company, Bellflower.

Mr. Lake appeared at a meeting of the Parent Teachers Association recently and outlined' the plan of a yearly contest that he started two years ago, this contest open to children in the second to eighth grades.

Mr. Lake offers prizes to the child, boy or girl, that earns and saves the largest amounts of money between June 1 and September 15. The first prize ol $10.00 will be given to the one having the largest saving and the second prize is $3.00 for the next largest amount.

This money must be accumulated by the childs own efforts, and gifts cannot enter rinto the race. The money must be banked within one week after ,it has been earned, and all contestants are required to keep an account of their own earnings, and of the bank account, this to be lcept in such shape that it can be used 'by the judges in awarding the prizes. These accounts also will show from what source the money has been received. There will be three judges, prominent men of Bellflower.

While it ,is not a rule of the conte.st, Mr. Lake has suggested to the parents that they have this money all banked

SUGAR personally by the children at one of their home bants, this putting the children on a business level with their fathers, and giving them an opportunity to meet and know the ,men at the banks who will take a personal interest in the money affa,irs.

Mr. Lake states that the two former contests were verv successful, and that he expects the one this year to be weil ahead. He intends to make this an annual afiair, and will continue the contest each summer indefinitely.

SALESMAN, NOT CLERK

DON'T be a clerk and sell lumber to two-legged forms that drop in to buy.

Be a SALESMAN, .and sell building IDEAS to tthinking individuals.

Learn something about the building business every day, so that you can advise and assist your customers.

Keep away from the m,atter of price, if possible, until you have sold the idea.

Come down to the office every morning with the resolution in your heart that you will do some real selling before the day is over.

Be a better salesman every night {han you were the night before.
