Our Aim in Business
WE DESIRE to make the First
National the Bank of the
People. The small depositor re-
ceives the same courteous treat-
ment and consideration that is ex-
tended to the largest within the
limits of safe and conservative
banking. Officers give personal
attention to all details. Directors
meet regularly and frequently and
keep closely in touch with the
current business. Every safe-
guard known to safe and successful
banking is availed of- and our past
success is the best criterion by
which to judge the security of the
future.

Operation
Mrs. Malinda Akers of Basham Va writes:
"I had what doctors call 'prolapse' and couldn't
stand straight. I had pain in my back and
shoulders and was very irregular and profuse.
Doctors said an operation was needed but I
couldn't bear the thought of the knife. After tak-
ing three bottles of Wine of Cardui I could walk
around. Can now do my housework and am in
splendid health."
Cardui is a pure vegetable medicinal essence
especially adapted to cure women's diseases. It
relieves excessive periodical pains regulates
irregularities and is a
safe pleasant and re-
liable remedy for all
sick women. In suc-
cessful use for over 70

Lo the Poor Farmer!
Every year about this time the
greater business world looks anx-
iously to the farmer and the fore-
most question is: How will the
crops turn out? This year the
anxiety is more acute than com-
mon; because it is felt that affairs
are rather overstrained and could
ill support the shock of a crop
failure. This annual confession of
dependence upon the farmer is ex-
ceedingly humiliating because the
farmer is the only person whom
our system leaves to shift for him-
self. Everybody else's prosperity
if he has any is benevolently pro-
vided for him by the high powers
of politics and finance. It is due
as we are daily reminded to our
protective tariff and to our cap-
tains of industry who good-naturedly
build railroads and mills
open mines and develop territories
in order that labor may find em-
ployment. These excellent men
in their own phrase "give" work
to the entire industrial population.
But the poor farmer! He has
practically nothing for a high tariff
to protect. His only important
function under that beneficent
scheme is to pay high tariff prices
for his clothes and furniture- And
the utmost the captains of industry
can do for him with the kindest
intentions in the world is to
charge him such freight rates as
the tramc will bear and crack up
the cost of his coal sugar and to-
bacco. They cannot consolidate
him or finance him or issue him
in highly-watered stock or "give"
When a Lie is Excusable.
i
Henry Waldorf Erancis in the
Pacific Monthly says a lie is popu-
larly considered justified on the fol-
lowing occasions:
When you are a party to a law
suit.
When you are asked the amount
of your salary.
When the servant girl asks for a
' 'character. ' '
wnen a girl asks it you ever
loved another girl.
Wnen-you are asked where you
spent your vacation.
wnen you are asked the name
of your tailor or dressmaker!
When a woman wants to know
if her baby is not a wonder.
When "the girl" wants to know
where you were- last night.
When a girl asks you to take her
to the theater and you are "broke."
When Papa asks if you ever saw
such a genius of a boy as his.
When you fail to get home but
it is not because you missed the
train.
When you go home with a pair
of black eyes or otherwise disfigur
ed.
When a girl asks you how she
looks. Or if you think her photo
does her justice.
When a mother asks you what
you think of her daughter or her
singing or playing.
When you are behind with your
board money and the landlady asks
if the steak isn't delicious.
When your best girl whose hair
is black wants to know how a
golden lock got on your coat
him work. It is therefore humil-! collar.
iating for the rest of us who pros- j Most any time when the truth
per by the .bounty of a system j would be embarrassing and you are
which on the whole treats the (sure a lie will not be found out.
