and things are getting quieter on
independence day. A little pic-

will be about the extent of it
from now on.
In Comanche county, Oklaho-
ma, last week 100,000 acres of
crops were entirely devastated
by a hailstorm. Even the trees
were stripped of their foliage.
Many thousand acres have been
replanted in late feed crops.
Last week the type made the
Banner say something we did
not intend to say. It had us to
say that "Facts" was represent-

teous treatment of our customers; our
steady increase in strength, have proven
that Tl NS is the PLACE to open that
account. Money to loan always, es-
