IF your immediate need is a de­
pendable, painstaking handling of
some business or financial matter,
read the last paragraph of this ad­
vertisement. Our desire is to go
less directly to the point.
BUSINESS
AND FINANCIAL
CONDITIONS are maturing new
problems almost daily and thia bank
has prepared itself with facilities eery
valuable to a wide variety of interests.
TO THE FARMER AND RANCH­
ER. our membership in the Federal
Reeerve System is an advantage. It
gives us a broad and practical ability
to meet their particular needs. The
same connection serves The Butinet<
Man Here each of these differing lines
of endeavor will find that conferences
with our officers often bring out ad­
vantages which anxiety and business
cares have hidden from them.
“Smith” said Jones, "I have a
chance to marry a poor girl whom I
love or a rich girl whom I do not
love. What is your a,dvice?”
“Jones,” said Smith, “love is the
salt of life. Without it all else is
naught. Loves makes poverty, wealth,
pain joy, earth heaven.”
"Enough," Jones Said, "I will mar­
ry the poor- girl whom I love.”
“I knew you would,” said Smith,
taking out his fountain pen. "And
now the address, please, of the rich
girl you do not love.”
LADIES, recognizing the man/ ad­
vantages in a personal checking ac­
count. will find us ready to do every­
thing possible to make their transac­
tions with this bank a pleasure to them.
TO THE THR1ETT, we offer 4%
interest compounded twice yearly tor

Strong Home Owned Bank.
A benevolent old lady in one of the
streets which still retain the red
brick houses ot old time New York
looked out of her parlor window the
other day and saw a man walking
along the sidewalk, apparently in
great dejection. There was something
so pathetic and appealing in his man­
ner that she took a dollar bill, put it
in an envelope, and wrote on the
envelope, “Never say Die!” She slip­
ped out of the house in the most
casual manner and handed the enve­
lope to the man as they passed. Next
day the melancholy old man called at
her house and presented her with
»10. "It's funny,” he said; "you’re
the only one that backed that horse
called Never Say Die.”

“Well why didn’t you offer

A Gypsy Smith Story.
Pittsburg, (Pa.) Chronicle Tele­

ifications was the political influence
they could exertin his behalf. And
when our country entered the war
the same policy of partisanship with
regard to important appointments
was pursued so far as it was possible
to do so. Time and again positions
of vital influence on the winning of
the war were to be filled and the
only question at Washington was
which Democrats would get them,
This policy, it is scarcely necessary
to say, was in striking contrast to
that of our Allies, with their coali­
tion cabinets and other effective in­
struments for securing the best tal­
ents of the country regardless of
political affiliations.
Republicans
as has been said, bore this discrimi­
nation against them with loyal for­
titude and patience giving their
whole-hearted support in Congress
and elsewhere to the supreme task
before the nation. As a result some
Democrats seemed to have gained the
impression that this anomalous con­
dition is to continue indefinitely,
that the administration is sacrosanct
and above criticism. Such Democratic
Rip Van Winkles are due for a rude
awakening. Next year comes the
quadrennial reckoning. Ours is a gov­
ernment ot the people through par­
ties.”

Need.
After a somewhat hilarious Christ-
mas Day a man called up his son be-
fore it was light and told him to go
and harness the donkey. The young
man obeyed, but did not take a light
with him. It so happened that the
night before had been very frosty,
and an old cow had Btrayed into the
stable and driven the donkey out.
Thinking the young man a long time
absent the father went to ascertain
the cause of the delay. “Jack, what
are you doing?” he called when he
found the stable in darkness. "Why
I can’t get the collar over the donk­
ey’s head,” replied Jack. “His ears
are frozen.”
Industrial courts to settle indus­
trial labor disputes must be provided
by the government, Senator Kenyon,
of Iowa declared in an address be-
for the Lawyer’s Club of New York
City. Strikes are no longer a private
fight between employer and employe,
the third party to be considered, does
not propose, he added, to stand for
strikes—“a relic of industrial bar­
barism.”
“We must have tribunals where
these matters can be settled," Sena­
tor Kenyon asserted. “We must es­
tablish courts ot mediation, concil-
ation and compulsory Investigation,
and their decisons must be backed up
by public opinion which will enforce
them. Civil problems go to* civil
courts. Why not Industrial problems
to industrial courts? The govern­
ment must provide some means of
solving these questions.”
"America sleeps until the eleventh
hour,” he continued, “but in the
eleventh hour it awakens and has
more potential
power than any
force on earth. It is time for America
to wake up. We must meet their
speakers with ours. Education is the
only thing which will accomplish
this.”
