The First National Bank
Cupid Hid in a Typewriter.
Two years ago John N. Janes of
Bovma, Tex., a wealthy cattleman
and director in several Texas banks,
came to Kansas City to help in the
organization of the National Reserve
Bank. Subsequently be became a
director. He also met Miss Ruby
Robbins, secretary of W. E. Halsell,
another director in the bank.
Mr. Janes returned to Bovina to
look after his eleven thousand nead
of cattle on hi* 146,000 acre ranch,
but it seemed impossible for him to
get his mind on the job. He soon
found an excuse to return to Kansas
DVERTISING PAYS.
Ask any Hereford m«v
chant whether advertising
pays and he will answer
"yeS'" right off the bat.
The fact is firmly fixed in
his mind. That advertising pays has
been so thoroughly advertised into his
system that it is a conviction with him,
yet, in a great many instances, he fails
to live up to his convictions or goes about
the matter half heartedly. Sometimes
he leaves off his advertising to cut down
his expenses. That would sound good
for a moment but rediculous after he
had carefully studied about the matter.
Again, he is too busy to write an ad
this week, failing to realize that in put'
ting off the ad-writing, he is really neg-
lecting the most important part of his
business. That business is too dull to
advertise, is another excuse with which
he eases his conscience.
There is always so much business to
be transacted and the persistent, honest
advertiser corrals the lion's share. Ad^
vertising pays. One ad a month re-
minds the people that he still exists..
Persistent advertising from week to
week conviaces .hem that he is alive,
awake and on the jump for their busi-
ness and that he appreciates exery pur
chase that they make from him.
The Brand claims—and is ready to
submit the proofs if you are willing to
go to the trouble to secure them—to be
the best advertising medium in Deaf
Smith county and the servfce it gives
costs you but little more. Its mailing
list is always open for inspection, If
you care to close up a contract for a
respectable amount of advertising to be
used in 1912 The Brand will make you
an attractive offer. Telephone No. 30.
City. Many other visits followed.
Tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock
Mr. Janes and Miss Robbins are to
be married at the home of Mrs.
William Robbins in Vinita, Okla.,
Miss Robbins former home. J. T.
M. Johnson, president of the Nation-
al Reserve Bank, a former Baptist
pastor, who sometimes preaches,
will perform the ceremony.
% Mr. and Mrs. Janes will go to
California for their honeymoon.
They will return to Kansas City
February 15 and will make their
home hers.—Kansas City Star.

Texas Needs
Great Men
XVIII. INSPIRATION
General Sam Houston would pass down the streets, it is
JJi said that strangers would instinctively turn and inquire,
" Who is that man ? " The history of Texas is made up oi
strong men whose brilliant thoughts and noble deeds have nt>
tracted the admiration of the whole world, and caused nations
to inquire, "Who is that man ?"
We need in government, industry, philosophy, art, science and
literature men whose walk through our lives will inspire us to higt
and mighty deeds and fill the Southland with a golden glow and
cause future generations to instinctively pause and inquire, " Who
is that man ? "
)
WHO IS THAT MAN?
Let those who would hold the wondering attention of men live
& life so powerful that it lifts until it awes and dumbfounds, throw
the brightness of their intellect into the d irk euvorns nf civilization
and crown the age in which they live with a golden wealth of prog-
ress. Texas needs great men.

Western National Election.
The stockholders of this institu-
tion met Tuesday last in this city
and elected directors. Immediately
upon their adjournment the directors
met and re-elected the following
officers: G. A. F. Parker, president;
J. L. Smith, vice-president; A. J.
Lipscomb, cashier.
Henry Wilkinson was elected as a
member of the directorate, the other
members being the officers of the
bank, and B. C. D. Binum of Ama-
rillo. It is a well known fact that,
in the meetings ot the stockholders
directors, there has never been a
dissenting vote cast, which speaks
well for the active officers of that
institution.
No Loss of Cattle.
The stockmen of Hereford do not
report any losses during the severe
spell of weather just past. When it
is known that the snow covered the
grass from Dec. 19 to Jan. 15, near-
ly a month, it speaks well for the
stockman's ability to meet an emer-
gency. Nearly all of them had feed
stuff and in addition bought cotton
seed cake, this being the best feed
yet found for the cattle. Two pounds
per day will keep a cow in good con-
dition, if she can get a little rough-
ness in the way of hay or stalks. J.
H. Williams, who has 500 head says
he did not lose any from the effects
of the cold rnd snow. Jno. L. Wil-
son reports no losses as far as he
knows R. J. Kibbe thinks the cat-
tle r ood the spell unusually well.
F. W. Curtis says his stock had a
great capacity for feed and they
got it.
Contrary to the dispatches in the
state c'aily papers, the stockmen of
Deaf Smith and Castro counties have
sustained practically no loss.
