Not the least of the advantages of having a checking account at this bank is the acquaintance it pro-
motes between the depositors of this bank and our officers.
This acquaintance enables our officers to get in touch with the interests of the depositor, and to lend
all the co-operation consistent with conservative banking.
Our officers gladly welcome the opportunity to extend the facilities of the bank to new de-
positors.

Congressman Tells
What Five Men Do
In United States
They Have, He Says, Corralled About
Everything Worthy of Ownership
In a Property Way.
Washington, June 3.—Absolute control of the railroad,
telegraph, telephone, iron and steel industries rests in the
hands of five men, who are the principal owners of the United
States Steel Corporation, according to a statement made by
Representative Ira C. Copley, of Illinois, in the graduation
address to the Bliss Electrical School last night at Carroll
Institute.
In addition to this, Representative Copley said the same
men control 70 per cent of the banking interests of New York
and that practically every gas and electric plant in the coun-
try is dominated by them.
He said: “Shall five men who dominate the United States
Steel Corporation rule the country by an oligarchy of wealth
or shall the people govern for the benefit of all the people and
give every man a square deal?”
The five men who control the United States Steel Corpo-
ration also control 70 per cent of all the railroads of the coun-
try. Indirectly they control all the rest. They dominate all
the telegraph' and telephone business through ownership of
the American Telegraph and Telephone Co. This company
in turn owns 51 per cent of all the Bell patents in this coun-
try. L^ess than a year ago this company bought the Western
Telegraph Co. These men also dominate the General Elec-
tric and Westinghouse Companies.
Rabid Dog Bites Three.
Mrs. Hardy Goolsby and two
children, who were bitten by the
dog thought to be mad. yester-
day morning, left on the train
yesterday afternoon for \ustin
to receive treatment at the Pas-
teur Institute.
The dog’s head was cut off and
turned over to those in authority
at the Institute and they declared
that it had hydrophobia.
The least of the children was
viciously attacked by the dog
and when Mrs. Goolsby under-
took to choke the dog loose, it
attacked her, inflicting foui or
five wounds. In a few seconds
another of the children appeared
on the scene and was bitten sev-
eral times by the dog.—Teague
Herald, June 2.
$10.00 Premium for You.
To the farmers, demonstrators
and co-operators and to the
Freestone Co. Boys Corn Club:
I want to make a special ap-
peal to you to save your stubble
land. If you leave it alone it
will grow up in thistles, briers
and obnoxious weeds, and your
ground will dry and bake and
deteriorate until it will have no
life in it
I want to beg of you to turn
your stubbles immediately, and
barrow thoroughly and plant in
Mebane cotton seed and you will
only have to give it one good cul-
tivation and It will be worth aa
muoh to the land as a balf ton
of fertiliser, end besides yon can
get e balf crop of cotton.
Now listen: To enoonrage you
to break your stubble field and
plant in Mebane cotton, I will
give absolutely free as a premium
$10 in gold to the boy or man
who makes the best yield on two
acres in one block of land.
Now, remember that this is
only for land that has been sown
in oats or wheat.

day.
Mr. and Mrs. W. P, Johnson
passed through here Monday, on
their way to Teague.

Tate, last Friday, a girl.
From Monday’s Teague Herald.
Mr. Hardy Goolsby and fam-
ily who left here one day last
week for the Pasteur Institute
still remain for treatment. Mr..
and Mrs. Ed Rau, who accom-
panied them to Austin, have re-
turned and tell us that the baby
child who was bitten by the rab-
id dog will not have to take the
treatment, but that Mrs. Gools-
by and the two older children
will be compelled to remain
there 21 days and take the treat-
ment prescribed, they having al-
ready taken four treatments.
An analysis of the dog’s brain
showed the most complete case
of hydrophobia ever seen. Mr.
Rau gives the following explana-
tion of the way the treatment is
given: He says the hydrophobia
germ is taken from the brain of
the dog and injected into the
blood of a healthy rabbit which
becomes infected at or}fe; this
blood of the rabbit thus infected
is in turn injected into the stom-
ach of the victim, which acts as
an antidote to the hydrophobia
already in the blood of the pa-
tient.
This is a great institution and
relieves much suffering. We
trust that Mrs. Goolsby and
children will suffer no. backsets
in the course of their treatment
and that they may soon be re-
stored to their wonted health.

Preaching at Cross Roads,
Sunday night by Rev. Turner
Jack Frost.
A public speaker, talking on
the subject of juvenile offenders,
recently stated that if every
man would care for his boy as
well as he cared for his horse,
there would be no juvenile of-
fenders to speak of. He said
there is not an hour in the day
or-nightbut that the man knows
where his horse is, while on the
other hand there are very few?
hours that he knows anything
about his boy. The speaker ad-
ded that this one feature alone
would save most of the b oys.
The subject is worthy of careful
meditation.—Denison Herald.
Chicago, 111., June 6.—President Taft, in a speech before
the Western Economic Society here Saturday night, declared
the principal opposition to the Canadian reciprocity agree-
ment came not from the farmer, but from the “Lumber
Trust” and American manufacturers of print paper.
In one of the most comprehensive addresses he has ever
made on the subject, the President outlined some of the meth-
ods employed by the opponents of reciprocity; practically
told the farmers they were being “buncoed” by special inter-
ests, and said the fate of the agreement rested not so much
with the United States Senate as with the people of the
country.
If the farmer and the country at large, he said, could be
brought to understand that this treaty was in the interests of
the majority of the people he would no longer fear the com-
ing vote in the Senate.
