The
Man wiih Money
has his family
led with money
in fhe Bank.
?
Doesn't it make you “sweat blood’’ to think
what would become of those you love, and who
are dependent on you, should you die penniless?
That does not happen to the man with
money. He has done his duty. He saves his
money and nuts it in the Bank where it is safe
from fire, burglars or his own extravagance.
Put YOUR money in OUR bank.

CARD OF THANKS
Words are utterly inade
quate to convey our feelings of
deep gratitude to the many
friends who came to us with
assistance and sympathy dur
ing the dark hours through
which our home has just pass
ed when the laughing voice,
the tender clasp and the spark
ling eye of innocent and won
derful babyhood lay silent and
rigid upon the little couch of
death, leavig our home so deso
late and our hearts so torn and
bleeding.
When the time arrives when
you must pass through the dark
shadows of the valley of death,
as we all must do sooner or
later, may you be surrounded
by triends, as noble, true and
sympathetic as those who shar
ed our grief upon this occasion.!
Sincerely and gratefully,
Mr. and Mrs. (). F. Craig
and Family.

Nov. 18, lit] 7; died May G.
1918.
While Little Lester Poe
spent only a lew months in the

tle life filled the home with
gladness and sunshine. Whi!
his stay was short, the horn ■
has been enriched by his hav

He always had a little smile
for everybody and as you pas

God still had angels in the
world to help us forget the
weighty responsibilities of life.

To the family we would say,

in this hour of need.

ACCIDENTALLY
SHOOTS SELF
Monroe Wilkes accidentally
shot himself in the lower part
of the stomach Monday night
when shooting at a supposed
burglar who he thought was
tiying to enter his home thru
a w indow.
He fired several shots at
i:h- supposed intruder and
thinking that he had emptied
his gun he started to unbreach
it to reload it. In doing this,
a cartridge which was left in
the gun was discharged, the
ball entering the stomach,
glancing downward and lodg
ing in his hip.
The wound is not considered
dangerous and he is reported
to be doing as well as could be
expected. ,
OUR SOLDIER BOYS
The nation’s heart goes out
in rejoicing and in thanksgiv
ing to the brave soldier boys
who held the western lint
against the desperate German
charge. British and French
v ithstood tin* shock with equal
steadfastness until the enemy’,
force was spent. It was a criti
cal moment, with awful possr
bilities hanging on the result.
1'he Allies breathe easier
since this terrific test of
strength. Let us hope that thi
kaiser, awed by the unspeak
able sacrifice that he has com
pelled, and convinced of the
futility of his aggressive plans,
will consent to a peace that
will rid Europe of the menace
of militarism and make the
world safe for democracy.—
W . J. Bryan in The Commoner.
