THE GREATEST LOVE We see where Will Rogers, the great "comedian, and former ranch hand, returned to his old home town in Oklahoma and was greeted by thousands at the opera house, where he made a speech. In that speech he declared that very city man has one anxiety deeper than anything else and that is as to his standing1 with the folks back in his old 1 home. Will Rogers is right. Out in the world are many former Maupin boys, now. grown to manhood and surrounded with worries. But nothing would worry them more than to know that their' old home town has forgotten then. They may learn to love their newer surroundings, and they may become fond of their newer acquaintances. But deep down in their hearts the greatest love and their greatest admiration is for their home town and the people they spent their boyhood with. Remember that Maupin will hold a Christmas celebration as a community with a. tree and all thefixin's.' When the solicitor comes to you.don't say your hand is paralyzed, but dig down and dig up as strong as you can. ' It's all for the kiddies. The recent celebration of the 75th anniversary' of the found ing of the Portland Oregonian was a feast, "not only of the good things for the inner man, but a feast of wholesome historical fact as well3. ' Now that Christmas is ap proaching let us remind all of that old saw "Shop early." Maupin School Notes as ly Hall, the men's dormitory.

Old Slogan-Shop Early Two Men and Their Credit Two men walked into this bank the other day, both asking for e substantial loan. One of them secured all that he re . quired; to the other we could not and did not xt end credit. The reason is this: The man who secured all that he re quested had maintained a substantial balance in has check ing account We know his ability and his financial stabil ity. We know that our money with him will be safe. Tho other man to whom we dared not extend credit, has an . account, it's true, but the balance m his account, ways low an doccasionally overdrawn a poor credit risk.
