THAT F^AINY DAY
You have no doubt heard of the fellow who
didn't know enough to go in when it rained.
Foolish, of course, but how about people who
know enough to go in but have no place to go?
That's simply worse and more of it, isn't
it? The rainy days of life come to every one,
and wise is the man who prepares for it in ad-
vance. When storms of adversity strike you,
there is no refuge equal to a snug sum at the
bank. Open an account now, while the weather
is tine.

Farmers Test Your Seed Corn
Before Planting Another Year
and thereby breed up your corn in the place of letting
it run down. By so doing you will not only produce bet-
ter corn, but will greatly increase the yield per acre.
The Officers of our bank prompted i>y a desire to be
of helpful service to the farmers of our county, in better-
ing their condition, have made arrangements with a com-
petant Seed Corn Specialist, to come to our town some
time in the near future, and test a limit number of bush-
els of corn at a nominal charge. It is our desire to have
as many farmers as we can get, to take advantage of this
opportunity of learning how to test their own seed corn.
They can do this by coming in and giving us their names
and addresses, so that we can advise them later the exact
date our specialist will arrive.
Every Farmer should know how to test his seed corn
before planting. This will be an opportunity for you to
learn.
