1 Want
To Talk With YOU
If you are not carrying a bank
account I want to talk with you
about the help a bank account
will be to you.
You and I have a mutual interest
in your carrying an account
at this bank. Naturally I want to
see you identify yourself and your
financial interests with us. You
- * ' ii - 1J
want to get aneaa in me wonu.
V Realizing that a banking connection
is an essential factor in carrying
your financial plans through
to success, you are i nterested, v i tally
Interested, in identifying
yourself with a strong, serviceable
bank.
The amount of your present income
or the amount of your first
deposit is of much less importance
than the fact of your making
the light start.
Will you come in and talk this
matter over with me? I shall be
glad to have you.

I IN SOCIAL I
An unusually pleasant affair of the
week was the "Japanese fete" on
the court house lawn given by the
Bachelor Maids' club Friday night.
The entire square was beautifully
lighted with Japanese lanterns,
strung artistically from bower to
bower of the spreading oaks that
go to make this spot a favorite
rendezvous at all times, but its
attraction was greatly increased by,
the brilliantly lighted lawn, hav-,
ing numerous seats and cosy corners1
arranged,presenting a vision of love-,
liness, and each inviting settee hav-;
ing for its occupancy a "Prince j
Charming with his charming prin- j
cess." Artistic booths were erected
throughout the lawn, from which
were sold punch, ice cream, cake,
sandwiches, candies and peanuts, the
proceeds of which were turned over:
t? the Civic League for the benefit!
of the town. A nice sum was realized j
therefrom. The affair was in every1

Tha Naad of Idaals.
Mankind always needs ideals
which loom so large in the sight of
men that they cannot fail to see
them clearly. More than ever is
this true of today, for the turmoil
and the hurry of modern life raise
a great dust which oftentimes hides
the skies. Enthusiasm, dreams,
hopes are to be encouraged and belong
to youth, which ever renews it elf
in warm hearts, although rea- 1
son is needed to cool and guide <
them. The fact that we believe
that our ideaHs beautiful .and holy
is not ground for forcing it on our
mates. To win. success a man must
not be a pure idealist, else in practical
things he will fail, but he must
have ideals, and he must obey them.

Ooleshill heath. Warwickshire, which
appeared In the Tost-Buy of Sept. 17.
1711. Addison gives a detailed account
of one of these "controversies of
faces," telling us that the audience
unanimously bestowed the ring on a
cobbler who "produced several new
grins of hln own invention, having
been used to cut faces for many years
together over his last."
His performance was something like
this: "At the very first grin he cast
every human feature out of his countenance.
at the second he simulated
the face of a spout, at the third that
of a baboon, at the fourth the head of
a bass viol and at the fifth a pair of
nut crackers " Addison adds that a
comely wench whom he had wooed In
vain for more than five years was so
charmed with his grins that she married
him the following week, the cobbler
using the prize as his w.adding
ring.

what electricity is. We know some of

call it a fluid. We hate discovered,
too, that it is one of the most important
forces, if not the most Important
force, of which we have any knowledge
We are almost aa Ignorant of
many other great forces of nature?as.

For the present we must be content
