Without the blowing of
.trumpets, beatr.g of drums or
the expenditure of much ora
torv, Conroe has contributed
a good representation of her
; young men to Uncle Sams
army and navy. The hulk ol
them are now in the various
training camps, but some of
them are on ther way to the
front in France and will no
doubt soon see actual warfare.
Below is a list of those who
number, whose names we are , . .
not able to get, have gone from ] A few coo! night
Montgomery county. This
county has no reason t,o lee!
ashamed of the patriotism her
young men show.
In the navy:
Jesse Crunk, Louie (’able,
fMaurice Alley, Carl Olson,
Stayten Pirtle, John l’irtle,
Edwin Dewey Kelley, Loubie
Cain, Km me ft Vincent, Walter
W. Templeton, Lee J. Darby,

and Calvert Wagers.
This does not include sever-
al others who were here when
they joined, but belonged in
some other county.
Through the activity of S,
K. Hailey, postmaster, several
yuui.g men whose homes were
ijot in Conroe have enlisted.

Money saved and deposited
in a banK is wealth that
worhs. Wealth that worKs
is capital. Unlihe brain and
muscle, it does not wear out
or deteriorate. It grows and
improves.
The only gain from labor is
what is saved. Labor, there-
fore, mahes wealth and
when wealth worhs it is
capital.
Capital at worh pays wages,
which, when saved, creates
more capital. Labor is the
producer when labor saves.
Savings bring independence. A savings
banK is a public servant.
