For Christmas
May we suggest that the problem of Christmas will be
most economically and easily solved by giving a sav
ings account of $ 1.00 or more.
As you well know, in saving money the start is every
thing, so why not serve a double purpose by giving
pleasure by a substantial gift, and by starting^the re
cepient on the Thrift road.
W e would be pleased to explain further if you wil! call
at this Bank or write us.

NATURE'S ICY GRAVEYARDS
Fossil Marvels Strew the Dreary
Wastes of Arotic Siberia.
Little dues the traveler think as be
drives over the dreary wastes of snow
and sees no living thing save the arctic
fox, the raven and the SDOwy owl that
the ground below him is packed full of
the remains of enormous animals that
have perished in some mysterious man
ner. Such nevertheless Is (he extra
ordinary fact, states "Siberia and the
Polar Sea."
The whole of northern Siberia, from
the Ural mountains to Bering strait Is
one vast graveyard. The bones, teeth
and skulls are those of elephants,
rhinoceroses, buffaloes and musk oxen.
They occur everywhere. They are
found on the banks of the rivers, in the
plains, on rising ground and lu frozen
cliffs. On the shores of the Arctic
ocean there are sloping banks of ice.
These are split and furrowed in all di
rections with deep chasms, and as the
traveler looks down Into their dark
depths from above he sees that the
lower portions of these Icy chasms are
filled with fossils.
In other places on the northern coast
of Siberia fronting the Arctic ocean the
low cliffs that rise above the beach and
are formed of earth and clay are full
of the bones of elephants and rhino
ceroses. Iu the brief summer, which
hardly lasts for six weeks, portions of
these earthy cliffs thaw and fall on the
beach below. Then it Is that the trav
eler who walks along the shore wit
nesses an astonishing spectacle. Not
only does he observe icebergs stranded
on the beach, but he also sees the
tusks and bones of elephants (the
mammoth) lying on the shore.
If he leaves the Arctic ocean behind
and Journeys inland the same sights
constantly meet his astonished gaze.
He comes. It may lie. to a plain where
for perhaps half a mile the whole
ground seems to be formed of masses
of tusks, teeth and the bones of ele
phants and rhinoceroses welded to
gether In one confused mass In the
frozen soli. These mighty beasts must
have been destroyed in nerus, uui uu>»
they perished no one knows. Still more
amazing is the fact (bat the islands in
the Arc-tie ocean north of Siberia are
equally full of the tusks and bones,
and on the shores of these islands in
the polar sea the tusks of elephants
can be seen sticking up In the frozen
sand.
Stranger still actually the very
bodies of these great elephants, with
flesh and lialr perfect, are seen stand
ing upright in the frozen cliffs. When
the cliffs thaw the bodies of these
great elephants fall to the ground and
are so perfect after being entombed
for thousands of years, thai the wolves
eat the flesh!
There are many who maintain that a
great future Is before Siberia, owing to
Its vast mineral wealth and Its corn
producing power. Tills applies to the
southern districts, but has nothing to
do with the regions of awful desola
tion to which we have referred.
Baseball and the Marines.
Americans are latently the best bomb
and grenade throwers in the world and
are capable of waging wonderful
trench warfare in case of hostilities,
say United States marine »orps offi
cers. "The average American youth
early learns to throw a baseball with
speed and accuracy, and It is because
of that we. as a nation, are especially
fitted to wage the modern war of the
trenches. Haseball Is encouraged at
all our stations, and the skill displayed
by marines—even untrained recruits—
in the bomb and grenade throwing
practice is really remarkable." said a
marine corps officer.
Animal Isles.
There are the Isle of Dogs and Whale
Island, Pewit island. In Essex, and
Crane and Gulf islands, off the coast
of Cornwall. Near Lundy Island are
Eat island and the lien and Chickens.
A few miles off the coast of Wales are
Puffin island, Sheep island and the
Cow and Calf island, in Pembroke.—
