thousands of newsstands, and can easily be secured by
mail. Some that have been forbidden the mails manage
to find their way into the hands of the youth of this
country through other means of transportation.
The
government is doing what it can to prohibit the circul­
ation of this trash, but seemingly has not been able to
cope with the evil.
We have on a few occasions seen such literature
in Vernonia though no general complaint that it is be­
ing circulated in our own schools has yet been officially
filed. We feel quite sure that our boys and girls have
not reached the point where they consider the reading
of these notoriously dirty publications a necessary part
of their education. But there is no means of knowing
how soon the habit will strike the youth of this commun­
ity, or to what extent it will be encouraged by them.
There is but one safeguard, and the teachers themsel­
ves form that. If they will keep a watchful eye for ques­
tionable magazines, perodicals and postcards and sup­
press their circulation the minute they find them to be
vile, much harm can be prevented. And it might also be
well for parents to investigate what type of reading mat­
ter their children are given to reading in their leisure
hours.

The next safest man is one who has been tried and who
has always made good.
This bank is manned by men who have not only been
tried and who have made good, but who have, in their
efforts, exceeded the expectations of the banka
stockholders.
Considering our large earning capacity, our prosperous
condition and well established reputation of an up-
