Have You Had
This Letter?
If a business man wrote to you on a scrap of paper and
never used a letter head, you would conclude he wasn't
much of a success—wouldn't you? A man who does not
use modern business methods cannot possibly compete
w'th the man who does. A man who pays all his bills
by cash and never by check does not impress people with
being a successful man.
If you pay your bills by checks on your Bank Ac
count here you are writing upon the ^Letter Mead of
Succcjs.
Our bocks now show nearly 1500 accounts. Is your name there?

THIS BIRD LIVES ON FISH.
And He Dotsn't Build a Nest, but Live*
In a Sand Tunnel.
The belted kingfisher has a great
taste for Qsh. livery day is Friday
with him, because no matter how hun
gry he gets, he will eat nothing except
Qsh. Wherever there are creeks, riv
ers, ponds or lakes (lie kingfishers are
to be found.
His principal business in life seems
to be diving into the water for Qsh.
From his perch on a dead branch or us
he hovers over the water this unusual
bird spies n small Hsh. With a swoop
and a splash aud a dive he goes Into
the water and is out as quickly with
the Qsh Qrmly held hi his stout beak.
As he emergts fiuai the water a quick
shake of the body sends the water
flying from his oily feathers, and he Is
: dry in short order. The lish Is tossed
I Into the air, caught again In the beak
and swallowed head Qrst.
Unlike most other birds, the king
flsher dees not build ids nest in trees,
but seeks a sand bank, in which he
digs a luf.r.el several feet straight In.
At the far en J a little room Is hol
lowed out. and there on ihe sand the
glossy eggs are hid.
The belted kingfisher Is recognized
by his fluiVy crovvu and his breast band.
The male lias a blue-gray breast band,
back and sidea, while the female has
chestnut colored si les and breast band
hi addition t<> a gray breast band.—Ex

ONE WAY TO PAY.
How the Ar'.ist Rjpheel Settled Hit
Bill at an Inn.
Itapbael. the great Italian paiuter,
whose celebrated Biblical pictures are
worth fabulous suit's of money, was
not a rich man when young and en
countered some of the vicissitudes of
life like many another genius.
Once when traveling lie put up at an
inn and remained there, unable to get
away through lack of funds to settle
his bill. The landlord grew suspicious
that such was the <-ase, and his re
quests for a settler..e:it grew more and
more pressing. Finally young Kaphael
in desperation iedorted t<> the following
device:
He care.'uliy painted upon a table top
in his room a number of gold coins,
and, placing the table in a certain light
that gave a startling effect, he packed
his few belongings and summoned his
host.
"There." he exclaimed, with a lordly
wave of his hand toward the table, "is
enough to settle my bill nnd more. Now
kindly show the way to the door."
The Innkeeper, with many smiles and
bows, ushered his guest out aud then
hastened back to gather up his gold.
ELis rage nnd consternation when he
discovered the fraud knew no bounds
until a wealthy English traveler, recog.
uizing the value of the art put hi the
work, gladly paid him $50 for the table.
—Stray Stories.
A Famous Welsh Fortress.
Carnarvon castle is the most splen
did specimen of medieval military
architecture surviving in Britain, not
excepting Alnwick. Art aud beauty
were combined with strength by De
Elfreton, the architect, who had been
commanded to construct a palace
within an Impregnable fortress.
Whether the mean little passage cham
ber In the Eagle tower was the birth
place of the infant prince whom Ed
ward I. made the medium of such a
grim practical joke upon the Welsh
seems doubtful, but the main story
may still be true. Every famous sol
dier who helped to make history in
this corner of Britaiu has played some
part within or without the walls of
Carnarvon castle. It has been starved ,
into surrender, but never captured by
force of arms and can therefore claim
to be considered a "virgin fortress."—

with the American Federation of

clare* Postmaster General Burle
son's claims that the Postoffice De
paitment haa instituted reforms

•s not true.
"Mr. Burleson In his report to
the 64thJ Congress, after stating
at tie service was permanently
telf-sustaininp, asked Congress I0
nullify all of the employeesi princi
oal legislative reforms", declared
Flaherty.

Da*.H c. Cooper, former First
Assistant Postmaster Genera], and
"0ff 006 ct campaign managers
for the Democratic party in New
^°rk, told thq House Postoffice an
Post roads Committee on December
0. 1913, that it cost the Depart

'he New York postoffice a weekly

, 116 aaKod Congress to
our eight-hour law to make
"osslble the spreading of the day's

"At no time in the history of the

such spreading, such harassing

In the boasted postal surplus!

"In U.i treatment of the aged
rervice workers thq administration
lias been brutal. i
"At a time when, the Department
'was seeking to rcduce the wage
I scal<- of the substitute clerks and
I carriers, meui .whoso earnings are
woefully inadequate. Postmaster
General Karlioson asked the House
I 'Appropr atitona Committee to in
crease t i salaries of his four as
sistants om J500D to $7200.
"The iuistration's boast of
j an impro\ .< service will not stand
I tiie test c. a close anaylsie. Be
j ^ause of its refusal to fill vacan
cies in tue railway mail service the
clerks ai <\ overworked. The car
rier force has not been) recrujiteick to
an efficient working standard and
in many cities deliveries have been
curtailed.
"In m of t*ie larger first-class
oostoffices. the eight-hour day is a
misnomer; the employes are forc
ed to toil ten and eleven hours to
the impairment of their health.
"Whilr> the administration's cam

fool ttir unknowing the men In the
service ar& too well acquainted with
actua] working conditions not to
know that the claims of a-n,- improved
service and anj efficient administra
tion are nof founded: on facts."
Mr. Flaherty <n a letter to Presi
dent Wilson on October 6th de
clared that: "The responsible de
partment officials are seemingly it
different to the plight of the clerks.
"The icftal department officials
have placed you; in the untenable
p^slition of advocating a principle in
private employment—thej eight-hour
day—which is not in effect in gov
