The Only National
Bank in Batesville
The First National Bank is the Only
National at the County Seat.
Most people prefer to deposit their
money in a National Bank because of
the safe-guards thrown around them
by Federal laws and because the United
States Government supervises them.
Our Capital and Surplus are more
than double that of any other bank in
Batesville and our responsibility more
than four times as great.
Our business relations with our cus
tomers are STRICTLY PR1YAI E.

OOD old Mr. Tim
mins had invited
his sons and
daughters and
brothers and sis
ters and their fam
mco i Kt ianc uiu
ner with hirrtseli
and wife on
Thanksgiving.
They were very
thankful.
Good old Mrs
TJmmlnH harl hnon
up since 4 o'clock
that morning roasting the turkey and
devising the pies and getting things
In readin®“
The guests had arrived, and the
hour or so that elapsed until dinner
was spent by the Older one* in talk
ing of the weather.
The weather is a great topic of
conversation. If it is a nice day or
if it is not, it can be discussed. That,
children, is where the weather has
the bulge on people. If they .are nice
people, we may talk about ’them in
polite society. If they arts not, it is
different.
Remember that.
The little Tim
minses and the
other children
and grandchildren
and nephews and
nieces were mer
rily whacking the
hardwood floor
with grandpa's
cane, and rubbing
their shoeblack
ing off against
the upholstering
I of the chairs, and
(tearing the lace
curtains, and oth
I erwise disporting
| themselves In the
merry, merry
manner of true
i innocent youth
when it. goes a
visitlng.
Grandpa Tim
mins was observ
ed to fidget un
[ easily in his seat,
j but this had no effect upon the papas
of thp children. It was a relief to
them to see someone else standing for
the damage done.
Finally Grandpa Timmins said.

sweetly:
“Here, children, bless your littli
hearts, is a box of matches. Tak<
them and play with them, for thi
house is insured against fire, but no
against J'ou.”
Wasn't that a sassy bump?
How many little boys or girls ii
the class would conduct themselves ai
these children did when visiting?
Of course, you say that now, bu
your teacher dear will not make beti
on you.
Finally the dinner was announced
and good old Grandpa Timmins tool
his place at the head of the table t(
carve the turkey.
The turkey is a noble bird, chil
dren. He is worth about 40 cents i
pound, dressed
Z but if you buy
/ feathers, feet ant
_ all, the market
=> man will let yot
have the bird foi

feathers and feel
on, weighs 1(
pounds and \
ounces, when wil

^ Nature has sc

we cannot eat

degree of comfort
or satisfaction. II
we could, we
would probably
feel down in the
mouth oftenei
v / tnan we do.
That is right
Always laugh when the teacher gets
off one. It will help with your grades
Grandpa Timmins took up the earr
ing knife and asked each of the lit
tie darlings what he or she would
have. And each one of them—there
1 ma Timmins had «
* worked bo hard
“ over, while she
tried to look as If
her long hours of
toll- were amply
i | repaid.
i And after dinner
the babies cried
and two of the
i boys were whip
ped and the little
girls tore their
! Sunday frocks
i playing tag be
! hind the curio
cabinet. They al
so broke some of "
, grandpa’s pet rel
ics.
Then he broke
his good resolu
tion.
Later on they
all went home. I
And good old
Grandua andi
Grandma T i m- m ■ ■
mins sat down and looked at tht
wreck and looked at one another and
Bald:
"Whoo!”
For the company had gone.
And they were very thankful.
True Thankfulness.
Where true thankfulness is there
can be no selfishness. For the hon
estly thankful man must be filled
with a sense of his own unworthiness
to enjoy the good things that come to
him. Humility must mark his attitude
toward his own blessings. The next. I
step is to share them as far as this
may be done with others less for
tunate though quite as worthy as him
self. I
Appropriate Souvenirs.
Homemade table souvenirs of ary
sort are especially appropriate fur
Thanksgiving.

would have the drumstick and a wing
and the gizzard and plenty of stuffing.
Whereat Grandpa Timmins smiled
a saccharine smile and politely in
quired:
"Do you think your beloved grand
parent has barbecued a cold-storage
house?”
Then he attacked the turkey and
the knife slid all over the surface of
the fowl, for it was one of those
leather-finished birds that have seen
better days, although the market man
was able to break its wings and tear
the skin.
Rut marketinen are strong individ
uals.
Is there any little boy present
who hopes to grow up to be a market
man?
Would you rather be a marketman
or be president?
N’obly spoken, my fair child; always
be strenuous.
At last Grandpa Timmins found the
weak spot in the armor of the turkey
and filed ofT sufficient meat to help
• he guests. Then he said "Whoo!”
and mopped his brow with his napkin
He was not a foxy grandpa, or
he would have made his newest
son-in-law do the hard wor.c.

WHY BE THANKFUL?

Some Things Which Every One
Can Rejoice In.
The person does not exist who la
without something to be thankful for 1
One who Is appreciative In a small
way for the bestowal of favors has, at 1
least, augmentation to his thankful
ness in the fact that he Is not under j
obligation to return as well as to be
grateful for large ones.
Are you unhappy? Be thankful that
there are plenty to console and more 1
to advise you If only an opportunity
is afforded them.
Have you poor eyesight? Be thank
ful that you are spared seeing more
than is good for you ana that you have
an excellent excuse for failing to per
form many of the small obligations of
life.
Are your eyes perfect? Be thank- |
ful that you need not contribute to <
the support of oculists and opticians. |
Are you thin? Be thankful that you j
are not as the fat, who obstruct the
door to progress In many ways and j
places.
If you are fat, be thankful. The |
stout woman, for example, always
looks comfortable and Is usually good J
tempered, no matter what her feelings
and disposition may be. ;
Are you beautiful? Be thankful '
that you are able to fulfill every earth- J
ly desire with no more effort than la
required to summon a smile of re- j
ward for those who flock to serve you.
Do you lack beauty? Be thankful j
that you are not harassed by the fear .
of losing your good looks until worry j
has written its unsightly lines all over '
your face. !
If you enjoy the reputation of a wit,
be thankful; for all persons who have )
wits are not witty, and one who is '
never lacks couipanloushlp or admir- j

Have you a home? Be thankful that
wherever you go there accompanies
you the knowledge that your own door
Is always open to you, no matter what
the position of other doors may be.
If you are a married woman be
thankful that you need never suffer,
like heroines of romance, from sup
pressed emotions and overcharged
feelings. You have always at hand
one upon whom you can vent the one
and to whom you may charge the oth
er. You are secure In the stronghold
of irresponsibility.
Are you a married man? Rejoice
that there lives at least one person In
the world who secretly believes that
you are now or at least once were a
paragon of perfection.
Do you add “spinster” to your legal
signature? I^et your soul be filled
with thankfulness that your es
pecial domains may be kept tidy and
furbelowed to a degree neither appre
ciated nor tolerated by the masculine
mind. Remember that a maiden may,
If she likes, try on many engagement
rings and still enjoy the feminine pre
rogative of falling to keep the con
tracts these imply.
Are you rich? Be thankful, for your
opportunities to enrich the lives of
others are many and even your eu
emies will kowtow to you.
Are you poor? Rejoice, for those
whose pleasures are few and bought
with an effort are best equipped heart
ily to enjoy them. Persons who have
neither money nor possessions are not
harassed by the fear of losing them
nor troubled by fluctuations in the
world of finance.
Have you youth? Be grateful for

attempt, and it is from the exploit*

Finally, If you are old, be thankfuL
Age confers privileges whieh nothing
else ever bestowB. It is pleasant to be
able to tell other people how to bring
up their children properly, whether
you ever brought up any yourself or
not, and to arrogate to yourself, and
Bometimes express, all the wisdom
which ye ars are supposed to garner.
HIS THEORY.
Ethel—Why is the turkey regarded
as especially appropriate for Thanks
giving?
Bob—Because any one who can af
ford to buy turkeys these days has
reason to be thankful.
