to save thecellarwhich contained
a large stock of provisions.
The building was insured for

We Are Progressing
There is an old proverb that a
wise man change&Jiis mind, but
a iooi never does. The wise man
has to change his mind to keep
up with the limes.
Your grandfather thought he
was putting on style when he
look his best girl out horseback
riding. The young man today
would like to have a six-cyiinder
car for his laJy love. The smart
men of today will be considered
"old fogies" by the next genera
tion. We are progressing.chang
ing, keeping step with the times,
that's all. Especially is this true
of financial matters.modorn bank
ing. Few people keep their
money hid about the house or run
the risk of carrying it on their
person. Ihcy follow the modern
plan, keep their funds in a reli
able bank like ours and pay by
check. It's the safe, modern,
convenient way.

a party over the phone recently,
but finally bung up the receiver
and said:
"1 believe that I'll go fishing."
"Didn't know you cared for
fishing at this time of year," re

"I don't, ordinarily," said the
Judge, "but it's the only chance
1 have of finding myself on the
end of n lino that isn't busy."
