CO-OPERATION w
DEPENDABILm
DEPENDABILITY is one of the most comforting trords ia-thi
English language. When you do busines with a reliable eoneoru
■nd you are secure tn the knowledge that tho manager
honest, you then feel they can be depeneded upon. An<
you have your money in this bank the same sense of SEC
and DEPENDABILITY brings to you SATISFACTION.
We believe the past years serve to bring our friends and custom-
ers to believe in that DEPENDABILITY in us.

Rippling Rhymes
By Walt Mason. 3 /jj
--------------------
INCURABLE
The Janizaries of the law are after me at times, and many
heavy fines I draw for speed- and kindred crimes; along the
dusty road 1 scoot, a menace dire to man and brute; the wise
one, when he hears ma. toot, for safety wildly climbs. Some-
times the judges scold and rail, a storm of words they raise,
the while they sentence me to jail, to stay there sixty days;
"thia term,” they say, “may curb your zeal, and when again
you’re at the wheel you in your inmost heart may feel that
safety sorely pays.” This speed germ is a frightful thing, when
once it’s in the blood; and I shall always scorch and swing
thru gravel, dust and mud; I am as helpless as the bloke who
has to have a jolt of coke; I’ll always leave a trail of smoke,
and scoot and skip and scud. Thus spake the speed fiend as he
left the hooskgow, cold and gray; of freedom he had been be-
reft for many a weary day; of high resolves his heart was full;
no more wild driving would he pull, and he would dodge the
cop and bull who guard the publie way. Next day the village
stood Aghast, its face all swung ajar; a locoed motorist went
past as goes a shooting star; again we saw the peeler hale the
speed fiend to a dungeon stale; now he will get six months in
jail, and lose his motor car.

There are several
not understand, and
among them Is that
corporation secures
from a city to operate within said
city at a certain fixed charge fo.'
service, that franchise Is not a bind-
ing contract compelling the corpor-
ation to furnish service at that
priee. Ft 4« very plain to those that
have been keeping up with pro-
ceedings in recent years I hat such
does not seem to be the ease, for
street car. telephone, g.T« and other
public service corporations in city
after city have raised rates, later
to be upheld ln the courts, regard-
less of wh^t might be the provi-
sions of the various franchises. If
a corporation comes Into a city
agreeing to provide service at a
certain charge and later it finds
(hat such charge does not provide
sufficient revenue, It would seem
that common business usage would
compel it to provide 'tho service
anyway and chargn It up as a bad
trade. If ah Individual sl^ns a con-
tract to fulfill certain obligations
to another, he Is held to ttie pro-
visions of that contract even though
ert, but a
