EVOLUTION Of BANKING
The CHILP with a Penny.
The BOY with a Dollar-
The MAN with a Million.
That is the evolution of careful and
consistent saving, banking and inves-
ting*
One step leads to the other, but the
young man must ALWAYS take the
first step.
Begin with a savings account in
this bank. The other steps come easy.

Alaskan Volcanic Fires.
At a recent meeting of the American
Society for the Advancement of Sci-
ence, Mr. Hubert !■', (Iriggs described
a lien ll.iod which occurred In Alaska
ni the "Valley of Ten Thousand
Smokes." Here he found traces of the
tlood uf lire which, issuing from a lis-
sure in the earth, swept n roaring tor-
rent of molten sand through the fertile
valley, devastating all in Its path for
a distance of more than fifteen miles.
From thousands of fissures live
steam, heated gas and smoke Issued.
One could do one's cooking In any of
the smaller holes. And that was the
only salvation of the expedition, for
all fuel had been destroyed by the
flood of (ire. It. is only a few steps
from the steaming fissures to a cave in
the side of the glacier, in order to have
the most perfect refrigeration in the
world.
The explorers' tents were steam
heated, as it were, and the bathing con-
ditions were of the best, for a stream
from the glacier fed a crystal pure
lake. In the middle of thin Sake a
ft earn Jet bubbled, and It was possible
to gel any desired temperature.
