THE WATCHED POT There is an old saying that “a watched pot never boils.’ This is one reason that so many people keep their money in the bank, where it can work for them. It is human nature to want to spend money if you have it in your pocketbook. It is where you can handle it and count it. It is like the watched pot; it never in creases if used this way. The sensible thing to do is to put it in a good bank where it is safe, is growing daily and where the temptation to spend is removed. This bank invites you to open an account, and will pay you 4 per cent on your money. LANCASTER STATE BANK L- ?* §™VENS, President. Capital $50,000 F. J. GLANVILLE Cashier. G. A. STEVENS Vice.

Judge George Clementson went to Mineral Point recently to hear the evidence in the case of the citizens of Mineral Point vs. the Mineral Point Zinc company. It was alleged that fumes from the smelting plant had done great damage to soil and crops on about twenty acres of land affect ing various citizens and their pros pects of “eats” during the long and lugubrious months of next winter. The New Jersey Zinc company settled the matter in a very quick and easy way—they bought all the property. As a result the case did not come up for trial. R. W.
