Prest., Whenevf-r you have a dollar that you have no absolute need for, it is a mighty good plan to plant it in a hank w here it is on hand to work for you when you need it. When you once break a dollar it quickly runs away; a niekle here; a dime there; and a quarter somewhere else. Dollars in bank form an emergency fund and a great big lever with which to open the door of opportunity. Pla' e your dollars in this strong hank where they will remain in absolute safety until you need them. We pay 4 per cent, iuterest on savings ac- OFFICERS. R. £ Lipscomb, Cashier, A Louis Wood, Asst.
