The Bank Habit
Possibly you who read this have never kept a bank account.
If not, let us suggest that you make tl^e experiment. Yon will
find it helpful in many ways. Aside from this; the fact that your
money will be safe from theft and fire, such a habit tends to
thrift, economy, discipline and a general understanding of busi-
ness principles, all of which are essential to success.
AN ACCOUNT WITH THIS BANK
WILL BE TO YOUR ADVANTAGE.

I have seen many instances where
commercial banks purchase the

Sixth : The greatest good of
I co-operative preparation of farm
j products for market, co-operat-

nancing is that they educate the
farmer in the school of business,
build character by rewarding it,
open his mind to the ways and
needs of all business with which
he becomes an ally and his heart
to his fellow man whom he aids
and from whom he has received

taught me? I can speak for my
self only, for the Commission has
made no verdict and will not un-
til a careful study of all evidence
gathered has been made. Answer-
ing the question asked above for
the London correspondent of the
llearst papers in America, I re-
plied:
First: Agricultural advance
within the last dozen years is ev-
ident. Thus advance is due main-
ly to the following causes: Rise
in prices of farm products, better
methods of production, which are
the intelligent uses of fertilizers,
the universal planting of careful-
ly bred and selected seeds, and
the raising of the best types of
farm animals obtainable, co-op-
eration of farm produest for mar-
ket and co-operative selling in
Seventh: That compulsory and
vocational education gives to th<
eitiz ns of Europe preparation
for life and habits of thorough-
ness, which if our people possess-
ed along with their initiative am
resourcefulness, would make our*
easily the strongest people of tb
world.

In many places a reduction of U off is made for these two days
of money saving sale, and in other lines as much as H off will be
made, in fact in most all departments a saving will be made.
This sale will be a demonstration of the buying power of a dol-
lar at a cash store; We are bidding for your trade, we are mail-
ing prices that were never heard of in Jacksboro, and if you
want to reap the benefit of close buying and close selling, both
for cash, you can’t afford to pass us by. Every week new people
come to our store, and we are wili ng for them to say whether or
not thsy were satisfied. They ccme back, WHY?
DON’T FORGET THE DATES, SATURDAY AND MONDAY,

prices will make you buy. So ccme, bring your family, and have
a good time, make our store yovr headquarters.

Fourth: That co-operative
preparation of farm products for
market, co-operative
and co-operative agricultural fi-
nancing and credits help the in-
dustries and business of a nation,
because these are but the com-
plements of agriculture without
which it is inefficient, and byj
means of which the nation is fed 1
more cheaply and at prices more
uniform than in our country,
where agriculture receives small-
er returns.
Fifth: That rural credits and
rural finance are built upon the
same principles as commercial
credit and finance. That it is as
feasible to construct a system of
finance and credit for agricult-
ure as it is for commerce, and
that a system of credits and fi-
nance suited to the needs of ag-
riculture are as helpful and stim-
ulating to agriculture as they are
to commerce and business. That
commerce and agriculture are so
unlike in their nature that it is
quite improbable that one system
