Did it ever occur to you .why all good
men keep a checking account with a
bank? We’ll tell you. It enables
them to keep their funds in a more se

gives them a better standing in the
business world. It enables them to
pay their bills by check, the returned
check being an undisputable receipt.
Individuals find a checking account
very convenient and a source of sav

spent on the spur of the moment,
while one is disposed to think twice
before drawing on his balance in the
bank. Lay up for a rainy day.

It Will Appear at the Star Theatre

Theatre feel confident that every
lover of music* 1 and true American
will be interested in the progress of
the real American conductor and his
twenty-six American Indian artists.
The ability of the Indian in taking up
the educational arts is sometimes
questioned. That question can not

ference to Wheelock and his famous

ty-six Indian musicians. This organ

all the leading concert bands in this
country.
