You see. the Indictment against Kout* charged him with stealing
two nig! But the anlmala had ulcely curled tall*, and the deft-use
maintained that the* the anlmala. and not the defense- were hogs,

done to It like that.

Dad Gives Jimmy Some
Fourth of July Pointers
Hey, Jimmy, take that maak off and come here. No, It Isn't a
lecture; I Just want to tell you something about tomorrow, something
I learned myself when I was a kid like yon. And I want to ask a favor
of you besides.
Do you know that 2,92? boys and girls and men were hurt last
Pourth of July. 2,923 that we know about, and no doubt a whole lot
more that we don't know about* That'a a pretty atlff price for noise.
Isn't It? And that's where that favor comes In. You don't know, and
you won't know till you have a kid of your own, what a crimp the
sight of a crippled boy puts Into a man's heart. It makes him feel
mean all over to see some kid with only one leg, or only one arm, or
one eye, or a face scarred up forever by powder or wadding* It's tough
to see that kind of a kid, even If you don't know him, but to have your
own boy all blown up, maybe blind, right before your eye* all the rest
of your life —It's almost too tough to think about. And the greatest
favor yon ran do for me in this Fourth of July business Is to celebrate
It so you'll be all together on the sth.
There ha* been a big change |n fireworks since I wa* a kid, and
I can't advise you what to buy and what not to buy to avoid danger,
so I'm going with you to the fireworks store and look thing* over and
buy stuff for yon. That'll help some. Then, when we run short of
fireworks on the Fourth. I'll send you back to the store to buy what we
need. And all day long I want you to remember these don'ls:
Don't think because it didn't go off right away that there's no fire
th are.
Don't hold your eye ov*r it to see why It didn't go off.
Don't pick it up right away if it didn't go off.
Don't see how long you can hold it before It goe* off.
Don't fail before lighting It to piok the place to throw It.
Don't throw it at your little *i*t*r.
Don't throw it at a horse.
Don't throw It toward your pile of fireworks.
Don't keep your fireworks where a spark might fall on them.
Don't go near them when you have any fire In your hand.
Don't have a toy pistol around.
Don't buy one. .
Don't go "monkeying" with any kind of fireworks.
Don't try to scare anybody. *
Don't shoot off the bl« pieces. I'll do that for you.
Don't forget, Jimmy, that I probably know more than you about a
few thinga, and when yiu're not sure about anything, ask me.
I'm going to lay off on the Fourth and be on hand to *how you.
Now run along I

People's Interest —
$92,455.37
The last day in each six-months period is always the big in
terest day in our Savings Department. The interest credited
Saturday to Saving* Depositors in this hank for the half-year
ending June .V) amounts to $92,455.37. On the same date a
year ago it was $K2.7.V),07, while on June 30 two years ago it
was $73,705.24. The December distributions for the two years
amounted to $172.8 , >1.15, making a total of $421,782.37 inter
est earned by the Savings Deposits and paid to our Savings De
positors during this comparatively short period.
In these columns we have frequently pointed out the advan
tage. not only of >a\ing a portion of the income, but of bank
ing those savings. Figures like the above emphasize the wis
dom of such advice. Incidentally they prove that a con-tantly
increasing number of people are following it.
$421,782 37 is a large amount of money. The real savings
arc. of course, vastly larger; for not one penny of this four
hundred and twenty-one thousand dollars is money that has
been saved and deposited.
It is the interest—only the interest—on tho<»e savings. It is
what the savings have earned through being deposited in the
bank rather than being kept at home or locked up in a vault.
St> that in addition to the safety and convenience of a hank ac
count. there has been a direct money advantage of $421,782.37
to Savings Depositors through banking in this one bank during
this short time.
If you are not saving money, or if you keep your money idle,
these simple figures should provide food tor very serious
thought. Not to share in these large distributions of interest
is to miss the easiest, the surest, the safest method yet known
of making your money earn more money. We welcome Saving
Accounts from $1.00 upwards. Dcj>osi'ts may be sent by mail
for less than stieet car fare.
Extra Days for Savings Depositors.
For many years it has been our custom to allow interest from
the Ist on all Savings Deposits made during the first five days
in January and July. With the bank closed on Sunday and on
Tuesday, July 4, the first five business days brings us to Friday,
July 7. For the benefit of those who get paid on Saturday, we
have decided to include that day also, so that all Savings De
posits made up to and including Saturday and Saturday even
ing will share in the interest that begins J-uly 1. This is an ex
cellent time to start a new Savings Account or to add to an
old one.
