Mrs. X loves to go off to conven tions. She Is always going to some sort of convention, and at each one she, gets all jazzed up with inspiration. She hears flowery reports of how the cause has progressed at Brasstown or Noiseburg, and she gets all out of pa tienco with everything and everybody back home. She makes groat plans for goting things done at home. She does none of the work ? absolutely none- -but she is all fretted and fussed up because the women at home don't catch her inspiration and carry out her plans. . Is she going to do any of the actual work? She is not. ~ Mr^ Y keeps saying: "This is the worst Uowii for gossip in the world." I Irs. V. ha; m>ver lived in any other t iwii, and so she speaks with the per fect assurance of perfect ignorbnce. And then Mrs. Y puts in the time gad ding from house to house, bringing in news and taking news liway with her.

McCASKILI., County Treasurer. DOG TAX. 1 wish to call special attention to the dog license tax, which can be paid from October 15th, 1923, to February 1st, 192-1. (February 1st, 192-1. is the last day for the payment of this tax.) The license tax on each dog is $1.25, and I now have the license tags to supply owners of dogs when paying their license tax. A dog is liable to this tax if six months old or older on January 1st. (A dog born June 30th, 1923. is liable to the tax January 1st. 1924.) This is in lieu of all other taxes or licenses on dogs, either county, mu nicipal or otherwise Dog license tAx issued by the Treasurer should bear the inscription "Dog License 1924," also show the serial number and county. This is not charged on the Auditor's Duplicate, nor curried on the odinary tax re ceipt. Separate receipt necessary. D. M. McCASKILL. County Treasurer. Mont Jf her conversation begins: "They say ? ." I'd better not tell you how it ends. Anyhow, you know al ready. Mrs. Z h^as neither the time nor the money to attend conventions like Mrs. X, and neither the f}me nor inclination to gather and spread news homo is a place of comfort and cgon ontment. Her family has three wholesome and palatable meals evory lay ; their surroundings are clean and shining; her husband and children have an air ol happiness and wellbt* ing, she is not a business woman in the commonly accepted sense of the word, but she manages the family . finances so well that neither she nor her husband is ever worried by an un paid bill nor an overdue account, al though many families with the same income -are in a chronic stage of debt and consequent discouragement.

Let's Start a Bank Account Banks in a way serve the same purpose as an implement storage barn. Did you ever think of that? Implements stored under good shelter are protected and preserved, we know where they are, can check them up or inspect them at any time, and they are ready for use at any time we have need of them. It is the same way with money deposited in a bank, and there is one additional and very great advantage. This comes from paying all by check ? the check being a receipt for all payments thus made and no money is paid by the bank until the receipt is given by the endorsement on the back. Our obligations are discharged, recorded, ^nd receipt taken when we pay by check. Then when we can c)ieck up at the end of the month and see where our pennies, dimeB and dollars go, we naturally are more careful to see that we get full value in re turn for all we pay out. ?' Having started a checking account, it becomes a much easier matter to then start a savings account. Every man feels just q little prouder of himself when he has a bank account and pays bills by check. That very fact takes him out of the ranks of the unprogrcssive and puts him in the class with real business men. Loan & Savings Bank CAPITAL $100,000.00 *. 4 Per Cent.
