WE DDSIREto make the First
National the Bank of the
People. The small depositor re-
ceives the same courteous treat-
ment and consideration that is ex-
tended to the largest within the
limits of safe and conservative
banking. Officers give personal
attention to all details. Directors
meet regularly and frequently' and
keep closely in touch with the
current business. Every safe-
guard known to safe and successful
banking is availed of and our past
success is the best criterion by
which to judge the security of the
future.

THE FIRST NATIONAL is pre-eminently the Bank of the Frontier. Its
stockholders belopg here. Its interests are those of our best and most pro-
gressive citizens. We offer to our customers present and prospective the ad-
vantages of the largest capital and surplus of any bank in this section and of the
safe and conservative banking methods which have resulted in the successful building
up of this bank in the past twelve years.
Its financial position is established and the energy experience and business
ability of the management will continue to be wholly directed to the maintenance and
increase of these advantages.

Old-Fashioned Girls.
A prominent physician says
fainting among women has "played
out'' and is no longer considered
at all good form.
"nowadays'' says the doctor
'"women are ashamed to faint. It
is too kittenish. All women want
to appear strong even if they are
aturally weak. And as a sex
are considerably more robust
andrsore fascinating than they
were a fel-years back: ' The rea-
son for it ts that women go in for
more outdoor life and recreation
than did their mothers or their
grandmothers. Tfcey may partake
of more highly seasoned food and
eat more than is good for them at
times but they lead a more
athletic life and for that reason do
not-have tc faint legitimately or
otherwise no matter what the
shock might be. We are going to
stronger race as a con
sequence.
The old-f&SSred clinging kind
of women had their charms for all
of that. Ability to pull a stroke
oar punch a bag is a fine thing for
women we suppose but the girl
who used to sit under the shade of
the old apple tree scared half to
death iest the cows were going to
at her up Tiad her charms. There
are extremes in this matter; so
much we are willing to admit.
The giggling girl had her day
and she was a nuisance pure and
simple. From that to the athletic
individual who wields a tenuis
raquet like aaseball bat is a pretty
far cry however and we shall not
complain if .the girl with her
bonnet strings tied under her
blessed little chin plays an early
return date. She was "mighty lak
a rose." From the Washington
Herald.
The Question of the Hour.
A grave question presents itself
to the manhood of America. It is
fellow-citizens what am I going to
give my wife? Shall our children
starve while John D. Rockefeller
gluts himself on boiled milk? No
a thousand times no; they may have
indigestion but starve? Never! The
real issue before the American peo-
people to day the issue that can-
not be confused by false reasoning
pr obscured by the hired scribblers
of plutocratic tyranny is: Is there
a Santa Claus? And whenthe mass-
es of liberty-loving people a vast
majority of the people rise in their
might and their nighties and creep
with bare feet into the parlor and
see the stockings bulging . they
will decide as with one voice that
there is. They may not put it that
way. They may- just say "Oh
look what got!" But it will come
to the same thing. William Allen
White in American Magazine.
It's difficult for a woman to
make a dollar go farther than the
nearest bargain counter.
Trust Busting that Busts.
American trust methods do not
take in England. A combination
of soapmakers with a capital of
$60000000 has collapsed under
the active hostility of public senti-
ment. The sale of trust soaps fell
off so alarmingly that the manu-
facturers in the combination found
that there was more trouble and
loss confronting them than they
stand and they backed down.
The trust has been dissolved and
the promoters of it admit in a
public statement that it "has been
received with such disfavor by the
trade and public as to make it
unworkable." Schemes of trust
manipulation in England lack the
political pull that is essential to
such success as trust methods have
obtanined in this country. English
manufacturers have no way of
fixing the tariff or of bossing
party organization or of influenc-
ing the courts. In this country
too theiniblic pull of the trusts is
now chiefijreonfined to the tariff
but sooner or later public-sentiment
will attend to that phase of the
problem: The turn of the stand-
patters conies next. From the
Baltimore News.
;In French Switzerland the shep-
herd girls wear men's clothes.
It is said that-the contract under
which W. J. Bryan wrote for a
syndicate during his tour of the
world will yield him a net profit
of 25000 clear of traveling ex-

daughter.
