✓ MANY FISH TO BE CAUGHT Start Name Contest The Conway company which took over the local creamery this week, is starting a name contest in the county with the desire to get a suitable name for the new dairy products company Several names have been suggested but they hav already been copy righted by other companies hence can not be used. The company is offering a cash prize of $25 for the best name for the new company, the name to be selected by the heads of the company. This provision will not lessen the chances of the contestants as Mr. Conway stated yesterday that everyone in the company had exhausted their inven tive faculties in an effort to choose a name without success. The only conditions attached to the choice are that the name must be sug gestive of dairy products but cannot be descriptive of them as such names cannot be copyrighted. No one is barred so all our readers should get busy and endeavor to win the $25. The contest will close on June 1 and in case two or more hand in the name chosen the prize will go to the one which is received first, or divided if two or more giving the chosen name shall arrive on the same mail. C. C. CLUB BUSY Banner W eek Ten cars of lumber were shipped from the Dollar mill the past week and yesterday there were eight more cars on the siding in process of being loaded. This will make the banner seven days if these cars are gotten out by this evening’s train. Of this number two were local curs and the balance were for outside shipment, The car shortage which has held the mill up to a certain extent for the past week or two seemed to huve een overcome as the mill is up on their orders now. . . . . . , .u In this connection, however, the management stated that we were in rror last week when it was stated that the mill would require at least hree cars a week to handle their out- put. This shoull have read three cars a day, and yesterday the state- uent was amended to read "from fif- een to eighteen ears a week at the : resent rate of sawing.’ the October term of court. The next term will be called in June and will come under the new law which places the dates for holding court as Febru ary, June and October. Superintendent of Schools J. A.

ECENT statistics show that the number of women bank depositors is steadily increus- ing. It is a healthy sign of business condi tions. There was a time when the number of women depositors was practically nil. With the advent in the business world, of so many women it was assured that the number of female depositors would show an increase. Women are inclined to be more thrifty than men. Thrift and banking go hand in hand. Many women in this community have bank accounts. To those who have not this appeal is made. Open a bank account today. Once having opened it, add to it.
