The People Who Sell It For Less
Self Confidence
Is worth much to the young man or young
woman, and self confidence is the guide of the
aged.
A BANK ACCOUNT
Gives self confidence. With ready money pro-
vided for a time of pressing need, one knows
that need can be supplied, should it come.
OUR BANK
Is always ready to assist those who keep de-
posits with us, and thus they gain the self con-
fidence, so necessary to success.

Belgian Relief Report.
It is with pleasure that we can
announce to the public that over
600 pounds of freight, including
garments and groceries, have
been packed and shipped from
here to the Belgian relief head-
quarters at Ft. Worth. We are
grateful to all friends who re-
sponded to our appeal for aid in
this worthy cause.
With their assistance 83 gar-
ments were cut and made, and
$38.75 in cash collected, also
many packages of evaporated
milk and non-perishable groc-
eries were donated. The cash
was mostly expended for more
groceries, on which our mer-
chants generously made special
prices; the remainder was used
in paying freight charges to Fort
Worth. Some of our citizens
who contributed are unknown to
us, but their help is fully appre-
ciated.

Weather Report.
The following ib the weather
forecast as reported by the gov
ernment:
Tonight increasing cloudiness;
Thursday, generally cloudy.
Remember.
Serges, white flannels and
silks, also fancy cotton goods and
dresses will be very much in
style this year from now on.
What we wish to impress on your
mind is this, that we want your
trade in this line as well as all
other lines of this class of bus-
iness. We are a business firm, a
tax payer as well. We spend
what we take in mostly for labor,
people who live here and spend
their money with you.
Please give us a consideration
in preference to those who may
be here today and some other
place tomorrow; who never pay
any tax to help keep the country
going, or care any thing for a
town only just what they can get
out of it for the time being.
Please give this your attention
as best you can, and remember
that we are ever ready to serve
you at any time. Phone 117.

S. C. Littlepage was in Tues-
day to advance his date and to
look after some other dates for
which he is responsible. He is
still engaged in the stock breed-

will be an abundant demand for
good horses and mules long after
the eastern war is over. There
is a good demand now, and this
will continue indefinitely—no
street car, steam car, automobile,
bicycle or motorcycle can take
the place in. the universe held by
the horse and mule. Raise good
stock. There will be a good
price.

Unfair Attack.
When foreign war vessels first
went into Chinese waters, it was
found that the Chinese had built forts'
facing the direction in which the at-
tack Avas expected to come, and had
left their roar exposed.' When the
English first appeared before the is-
land of Hong Kong, they found a for-
midable fortress froAvning from the
rocks and garrisoned by several thou-
sand Chinese, soldiers. The English
commander began to look around far
the best place of attack. While the
Chinese Avere sleeping, the English cir-
cled the island, and at dawn suddenly
came upon the Chinese from the rear.
The Orientals were thrown into wild
consternation, and one officer, who
could speak some English, ran out
waving his arms. “No b’long ploper!”
he shouted. “No can come this side;
must come other side. Must go back,
come ploper side.”
