THE FIRST NATIONAL is pre-eminently! the Bank of the Frontier. Its
stockholders belong here. Its interests are those of our best and most pro
gressive citizens. We offer to our customers, present and prospective, the ad
vantages of the largest capital and surplus of any bank in this section, and of the
safe and conservative banking methods which have resulted in the successful building
up of this bank in the past twelve years.
Its financial position is established, and the energy, experience and business
ability, of the management will continue to be wholly directed to the maintenance and
increase of these advantages.

Baggage Through in Bond.
Passengers to Mexico over any
of the connecting lines at the
border may have their baggage
sent through to Mexico City in
bond, the customs examinations
taking place at the railway station
in fhe capital of Mexico This rul
ing went into effect December 1,
and was brought about through
erts of the Mexican National
anoN-Mexican Central officials in
Mexico. ft-was meant to facilitate
the movement unimpeded of
tourists and those who have busi
ness in Mexico, and will conduce
materially to their comfort
throughout, as it obviates the
delay at the border and the time
and trouble incident to doing the
work at the border custom house.
Houston Pos.
Yea, Verily, It Is True.
Youncr man. while vou are young,
Tullo!nejlums, prunes, nuts
and other fruits, prepare yourself
for an independent life when you
are middle-age or old. Nothing
blunts the finer feelings, nothing
"hacks" and degrades the true
gentleman so much as poverty.
The amount you earn is not so im
portant as the amount you save.
The ditch digger win earns $1 per
day and saves half of it, has better
prospects for the future than the
man who earns $25 per day and
spends $37.
Danger of Being Smart.
A local news agent not ten miles
from the city hall has lost the best
customer he ever had.
"Is it possible to get a copy of
the Weekly for a week back?"
he was asked the other day by the
afore-mentioned customer.
"Couldn't say for certain," re
plied the fun-loving news agent.
"But wouldn't it be better to try a
porous plaster?"
A Striking Admonition.
Father (to son of whom he has
just accepted a cigar) Excellent!
How much dia you pay?
Son "They're three for a quar
ter." Father"Great Scott! And I
content myself with two for a
nickel."
Son "That's a different matter.
If I had asjargfea asquto,
support I shouldn't smoke at all."
In advocating the paiuting of
machine tools with a light color
the Iron Age says it is a well re
cognized fact that the lighter and
neater a shop the better and neater
are the workmen. Quality of dress
counts but little under manufactur
ing conditions, but a man who
does neat, good work is apt to be
a man of neat personal habits, and,
reversing the viewpoint, conditions
which tend to make a man person
ally neater may be reflected in his
work.
Some Good Advice.
If you will make up your mind
to be a good citizen you will find
that you have no time to spend m
criticising others and crying over
their shortcomings. El Paio
Times.
Correct. "Cast out first the beam
out of th'ne own eye, and then
shalt thou see clearly to pull out
the mote that is in thy brother's
eye." Houston Post.
His Long Career.
"Has he been writing poetry
long?"
"Gad, yes! Why he owes money
to over forty landladies.", De
cember Smart Set.
Dr. Wiley's Experiment.
Dr. Wiley wishes to experiment
on the effect of alcohol on the hu
man subject. Don't all speak at
once. Philadelphia North Amer
ican. Baltimore's Sunday.
Baltimore is to try a "dry" Sun
day. Probably it will be found not
guilty of being dry. Philadelphia

Almost all the water coolers in
town had large chunks of ice in
them early this morning tempera'
ture was about 75. Ice factory
peddles ice about every day in the
year.
