San Francisco, Dec. 18.—Ar-
nold Kruckman has returned to
San Francisco, after having
completed a tour of the world. He
was engaged by the Panama-Pa-
cific International Exposition to
arrange for an aerial race
around the world in 1915, as one
of the big features of the exposi-
tion.
Owing to the existing condi-
tions in Europe and parts of the
Orient, as a result of the world-
wide war, the exposition manage-
ment was forced to abandon the
race, as the greater part of the
course was necessarily through,
the countries engaged in war.

Columbia, S. C., Dec. 18.—
With Christmas only a week
off, convicts in the state peniten-
tiary today were looking for-
ward to the usual batch of holi-
day pardons from Gov. Cole
Blease. He nearly emptied the
“pen” with his pardons Thanks-
giving, when he freed all varie-
ties of criminals from “lifers”
to “drunks.” If the governor
follows his usual custom this
Yuletide, he will make the condi-
tion that the prisoners going out
into the world abstain from the
use of liquor.
His record to date stands at
close to 1500 pardons.
Value of a Banking Connection
' you are familiar in any way with the up-
9,8 hill fights of successful men or women,
2455 you can readily appreciate how often a
bank account or an association with a
reputable bank has saved these people from em-
barrassment time after time in the early days.
The first step in a successful career is an active connec-
tion with a bank of integrity and stability like ours.
We make our depositor* feel at home. By little acts of
courtesy and help we show we are at their service, always
ready and willing to help them in any financial problem.
