"Every pint of whiskey a
man drinks shortens his life by
eleven hours, and every pint of
beer he drinks he steals 25 min
utes from his life." ''The fore
going statement," says Tom
Thompson, "is m ule by an em
inent temperance writer and it
is mostly bosh and rot. I can
take a pencil and show by fig
ures that if evepint of whis
key Gib Childers has consumed
had shortened his life by eleven
hours, he would have died nine
years before he was born."

A 'Call For
Kind friends, have you heard
of the town of No-Good, on the
banks of the river Slow, where
the Some-Time or Other scents
the air and the soft Go-Easies
grow? It lies in the Valley of
What's-the-Uso, in the province
of Let-Her-Slide; it's the home
of the reckless I Don't-Care,
where the GiveltUps abide.
The town is as old as the
human race and it grows with
th? flight ot years; it is wrap
ped in the fog of idler's dreams;
its streets are paved with dis
carded schemes; end aio sprink
led with useless , tears. Unknown.

THE REASON WHY"
many people never have their share of this world's
good things is because they fail to cooperate with their
own interests, many of them without thinking to be
sure, but never-the-lcss to their own injury.
For Instance! If ym are not patronizing your home
bank you are not cooperating with one of your best int
erests You surely know than a good safe bank in your
community substantially enhances the value of your
land.- It helps you get a" bettor sale for your cattle and
produce by keeping constantly on tho alert to bring buy.
er and seller together to the best advantage. It is not ..
altogether through selfish motives that your home bank
solicits your cooperation, but the interests are mutual,
We need your patronage and cooperation to increase our
strength and ability. You need yoUr home bank at it's
best strength and ability for it ppeaks well for yoUr
community, enhances the value of all your property,
finances your business in a pinch and keeps the wolf
from the door. We need you. You need us. Let'3 co
operate, we will meet you half way.
