The Bowie Cross Timber says:
**Saint Jo made a step forward
when she voted to keepup the town
cow. The aforesaid cow is an enemy
to pretty yards, luxurious shrub-
bery. The people of our neighbor-
ing town will be more convinced
of the wisdom of this act, as the
advantages of such prove them-
selves.

Perry Health is hesitating wheth-
er to accept a job at the St. Louis
Exposition that carries a salary
of $10,000. Perry is probably . in
the condition of the minister who
prayed guidance as to whether he
should accept a call with a big
raise in salary, who, pending, i
reply, had his furniture packed
for removal.

The horrible news come, of
course from Kansas, that a boy
climbed a corn stalk to see how
the corn was getting along and
now the stalk is growing faster
than the boy can climb down. The
boy is plum out of sight. Three
men have undertaken to cut down
the stalk with axes and save the
boy from starvation but it grows
so fast that they can't hack it
twice in the same place. The boy
is living on nothing but raw corn,
and he has already thrown down
over four bushels of cobs. "Honi
soit qui mal y pense!" Merit Mirror.

TRADE WHERE YOUR TRADE IS
TRULY APPRECIATED !
The purpose of the Trades Day Association, with
which we cooperate, is to promote urban trade for
Saint Jo merchants. One way of doing that is by
showing appreciation for those who do patronize the
firms of this city. One of those "appreciation" days is
just what we are inviting you to enjoy Saturday.
Make yourself at home in Saint Jo—it's your town!
And, make this bank your bank—we strive to show
our appreciation of your patronage every time you
call on us for our service!

THE HOUSEWIVES OF AMERICA are a vital
factor in this war. In the program to make America
strong by making Americans stronger they are the
guardians of the nation's health.
NUTRITION IS YOUR BUSINESS because good
health and energy are imperative. To help do your
bit toward building your family's health, serve well-
balanced, vitamin-rich meals. It isn't enough just to
select the right foods at the market, for many of
the health-giving vitamins may be lost if the food is
cooked improperly.
"I WILL WASTE NOTHING"—Pledge yourself
that the vitamins in the food you buy actually reach
the family table and you'll be helping to win the war.
