FIRE IN DURNIL BLOCK
A fire in the hall above Durnil's
store did considerable damage
Thursday evening. Some hot
coals from a hard coal burner
had been emptied into a coal box.
They set fire to the box and
burned through the floor. The
fire department was called and
the blaze was extinguished in a
short time.
The main damage was to Dur
nil's stock of dry goods from the
water and smoke, the loss being
estimated at $2500.
The fire was discovered by
Russell Hobbs. . In passing the
stairway leading to the upstairs
rooms he smelled smoke and go
ing into Davis & Chapeil's hard
ware store told them. Prompt
work prevented a more disas
trous fire.
Martin's big sale is now on.

What the Financial Review Says:
"The commercial banks today are reaching; out after the accounts
of the small farmer, the moderate wage earner, even the student,
trying to induce him to put his small sums into the bank for safe
keeping instead of the bureau drawer or the bed tick and promis
ing him in return loans proportioned to his earnings and savings
when he needs them to make an investment or to tide over some
temporary need of cash. . The cost of keeping many of these accounts
is, at the start, more than the revenue derived from them, but it is
regarded as a good bank investment for the future. The savings
from many of them will grow into large accounts and business en
terprises, and, besides, the added stability to the banking business
from dealing with a community which has formed the habit of do
ing its business by bank checks instead of the pocket book and hid
den reserve about the house, is a large factor.''
This great financial paper speaks cold facts. . It is a fact that
the cost of keeping small accounts is more than the revenue, but we
welcome them for they never fail to grow. A community, like an
individual, that does its business through a bank, is on the road to
prosperity. "

ceedingly active for one who has
passed the ninety-first mile stone
in life. A family dinner was
served at her home on Myrtle
street in celebration of the event
and was enjoyed by Mr. and
Mrs. J. F. Wicks, Mr. and Mrs.
Roy Wicks, Mr. and Mrs. Harry
