The man or woman, hoy or girl who makes a practice of saving a part of the income whether derived from labor, business or girt, is the one who really practices "safety first." Fbr in sav ing they are providing against sudden contin gencies that call for immediate cash. If thev have it in .the bank, it is at hand when the call comes, Let this bank be your safety zone; deposit your surplus money with us; it will grow by leaps and bounds' and ultimately, if you keep the practice of saving un, you will have some thing to begin life on. Think it over. Maupin State Bank V (INCORPORATED) Evidently the House Way3 and Means Committee thinks Secretary Mellon's income is adequate to worry along on. Therefore, it rejected General Andrew's bill providing for the establishment of a semi-government corporation for the manufac ture of medicinal whislfey.

The story is unique and carries all thru its entirely a whirlwind of action. The usual comedy film will be an added attraction to the evening's entertainment.
