KEEP A-GOING!
Keep ahead!
Why, you’re not dead!
Keep a-going!
Success is glowing »
Up the heights
Through the nights.
The little toad
Keeps on the road.
Each day anew
Holds more for you,
If you’ll believe
You can achieve.
Keep working!
Stop shirking!
The boy who skates
Never stops nor waits
Until he will learn
Each fall to spurn.
So clear the way,
Brace up today,
With aspect clean
And eye that’s keen.
Right about, face!
Keep up the pace!
Suppose our President
Did not believe,
Would not the suffering
Of Europe grieve
To see him wait
In peaceful state
And watch them die
In hellish hate?

STATE OF ARKANSAS / We, E. T. Wherry, President and
County of Woodruff | H. W. Jernigan, Cashier, of the
above named Bank, do solemnly swear that the above statement is
true to the best of our knowledge and belief.
E. T. Wherry, President. H. W. Jernigan, Cashier.
Attest: J. F. Morgan, E. T. Wherry, H. W. Jernigan.
Subscribed and sworn to before me this 26th day of June, 1917
[Seal] G. W. Barber, Notary Public.
My commission expires December 6, 1917.
The loans listed in this report
amount to $130,611.54, a sum
largely exceeding that of any
previous report. Over $90,000
of this money is in use by our
farming interests for the im
provement and enlargement of
farm production, upon which,
more than upon any other indus
try, depends our country’s suc
cesss in the war.
Another encouraging feature
is the ability of the bank to fur
nish money in increased amount
for improvement, notwithstand
ing the large sums it has been
called upon to use in financing
the Liberty Loan bonds and other
governmental activities, upon
which it didn’t make a cent—a
gift to the Nation, simply.
DON'T GET SCARED
Germany’s submarine menace,
which has thrown a scare into a
few timid Americans—Rood fel
lows, all right, only too easily
discouraged—doesn’t seem to be
such a much after all, in the way
of destroying the world’s com
merce Imports received in the
United States ports during the
month of May amounted to $281,
000,000, the greatest for any
month in the history of American
commerce. Our exports for May
were $551,000,000, again of $21,
000,000 over April.
Occasionally one hears some
fellow arguing that it will be im
possible to overcome Germany’s
submarines. Cheer up, gentle
men. Our Yankee tars already
have them on the run, and the
Yankees haven’t yet got started.
And beside that, your foolish
talk, if persisted in, will get you
in BAD! with the Provost Mar
shal when we get sure enough
warmed up in this war business
and begin to take stock of
“who’s who.”
