Since the fire we have found
out that in more ways than one
are we glad that our nest was
saved, so that we are still able to
issue the "lusty bird" on time.
It is a good thing for us that we
are still able to call on you every
week because we know of a close
neighbor in an inland town, in
the printing business who is to
bigoted and unobliging to help
anyone when they are in need.
All he thinks of is his own paper
which is a disgrace to the town
in which it is published. The
editor, no doubt learned his busi
ness between the acts of an "Un
cle Tom's Cabin Show" by the
looks of his "attempt" at issuing
a paper.
Now that the spring weather
is coming, let every business
house have a sign painted on
their place of business. Nothing
improves the front appearance
of your place any more than a
well displayed sign. Consult
with some local painter and see
what can be done in this respect
an ] you will find out that it will

"Hard Luck" seems to be
turning its attention to the news
paper offices these days. Word
came from Marmarth this week
that the Mail office there had
been destroyed by fire last Tues
day night. About $500 worth of
insurance was carried. The fire
was started in the Mail office, the
cause being unknown to us at
this time. Besides the Mail
office, a barber shop and drug
store was consumed by the
flames.
Parties wishing to enter the
printing office at this season of
the year must be guided by the
following:
Advance to the inner door and
give three distinct raps and then
the devil will attend your alarm.
You must then give him your
name, post-office address and the
number of years you are owing
for the paper, and then he will
admit you. You must then ad
vance to the center of the room
and address the editor with the
following countersign: Extend
the right hand abont two feet
from the body; with the thumb
and index finger clasp a $10 bill
which drop into the extended
hand of the editor, at the same
time saying, "were you looking
for me?" The editor will say
"you bet" and after giving him
the news you are permitted to
retire with a receipt properly
discharged. — Ex.
You'd scarcely expect one of
my age, in merchandising to en
gage, and hope to get a paying
trade without the local papers
aid. And yet I did that very
thing; I opened up a store last
spring—this month the sheriff
took my stock and sold it at the
auction block. Don't veiw me
with a scornful eye, but simply
say as I pass by; "There goes a
fool who seemed to think he had
no use for printer's ink. " There
is a truth as broad as earth and
business men should know of its
worth, 'tis simply this: The
public buys, its goods from those
who advertise.

Management By Men
STRENGTH in any bank is determined by strong
resources, ample cash reserves, si.fTicient capital, a
growing surplus and an honorable record of service
to the people. It is vitally essential that the men
who manage the bank of your choice be men of
character and experience in business; able and pos
sessed of good judgement. A bank with such men
behind it who really take an active part in the bank's
management, furnishes each depositor the best guar
anty. We invite your consideration of the manage
ment of this bank.
