.A Chip Off the Block
A boy just naturally tries to
follow in Daddy's tracks. It is
natural for him to want to do
things like Daddy does.
With this fact in mind do you
not think it would be a very good
thing for your boy to have a bank
account and learn to do business
liko you do? We believe that al
children should be taught early
how to open an account at the
bank, deposit their savings and
nav their little bills by chock.
We take special interest in the
accounts of our youthful dent sit
ors. both girls and boys, und try
to teach them the correct way to
make their transactions.

What could possibly be moro glad -
Dins than the slsht of real Amerl-

can doughnuts, hunks of luscious pie,

be tho sight of an honest-to-goodness
American girl. And tho combination
of Iho three, nnd maybe a couple of
mugs of good hot coffeo thrown In for
good measure nobody but 11 really
tired, lmrdworlced Yank can really ap
preciate this food for tlio gods and
comfort for tho henrt of man.
"It ain't tho coffeo nor the plo nor
the doughnuts, not even tho pretty
girls," said ono young soldier; "It Is
tho sight of n woman who looks llkp
your mother with her little enp ft
trltlo nskow sometimes, and maybe a
lock of hair straightened out of curl,
Just liko motlmr used to havo hers
como when slip was hurrying too hnrd
that's tho thing that makes a fellow
glad he happened to bo with this par
ticular bunch. And when thnt woman
says, 'Here, sop, havo another pleco of
pie I' it goes right through your henrt
nnd makes you feel that If you over
do get back to the old. U. S. A. again
you'll not forget mother's birthday and
you'll remember to say the kind things
every single day of yaur llfo."
