no doubt justify the confidence of the
board.

Juvenile matters were up before the
county judge Monday and the case
against James Emery and Hal Tyrrel
on a charge of stealing a motorcycle
from Edwin Campbell was heard and
decided in favor of the defendants. It
seems that Campbell owes both of the
boys for work they have performed
and that they felt they had an inter­
est in the motorcycle until the bill
was paid. The judge assessed a slight
■'■image to the machine against them
and turned them loose.
Testimony was taken in the J. W.
Coach estate matter Monday to reach
a definite conclusion as to the amount
of property left by Mr. Coach. Sev­

Y STE M A TIZE your household expenses by
opening a bank account for your wife. Give
her a check book and teach her the use o f it.
Pay the butcher, the grocer, the baker, with
a check. Then at the end of the month
you’ll find out just how much it costs you
to run the home. When payment by check
is made there never is any doubt as to whether or not
a bill is paid. The check is a receipt.
Bcsidi s. a checking account will give your wife a
business education. The number of ordinarily bright
women who know absolutely nothing o f banking is sur­
prising
If you ar? ’ husband, father, brother, you
cannot tell when death may overtake you, and it is
well that vonr wife, daughter and sister know some­
thing of banking.
