Waste N° Food To be sure that no food is wasted these days, the housewife should watch the garbage pail. She should serve only such quantities that may be eaten.

BACK ON THE OLD JOB There will be pleasing information in the announcement that large em ployers of labor are planning to take back all their former employees who left their positions in.order to go into the army- It is. also gratifying to learn that they expect to offer posi tions to men not formerly in their em ploy who have seen service during the war. This attitude will go far to .KftXjk .a&lying. the Droblam of what to do with the soldiers when they re turn.

It is the largest publish es statement ever made by the bank and reflects the condition prevailing in general 'business during the past year. The war necessitated large ob ligations upon the government and through the banks.it has been financed' by the people. The people responded loyally by purchasing bonds, not- only with their own funds but borrowed of the banks as well. During this time the usual commercial requirements of farmers and business men also had to be met and it is a notable fact that the banks of this county have financed this community in a creditable man ner. Every bank in the county has been a government 'booster and the four bond issues involving the amount of over four million five hundred thou sand dollars has been handled through the banks without the slightest in convenience. to the general public.
