These days the average farmer has about all
the advantages of his town neighbor if he cares
to use them.
The farmer can do his banking by mail if he
cares to take advantage of modern methods. It
is safe, prompt, satisfactory and the thing to do.
Many of our customers are banking that way.
They mail us their checks and we at once credit
their account and mail duplicate deposit slip. It
is much safer to have the money to your credit
than it is to carry around the checks.

1. Four Great Nations Involved in War.
London, Aug. 4.—Great Britian de-
clared war on Germany tonight and
Germany has declared" war on Great
Britian, according to official announce-
ment.
The momentous decision of the Brit-
ish government, for. which the whole
world has been waiting, came before
j the expiration of the time limit set by
j Great Britian in her ultimatum to Ger-
many demanding a satisfactory reply
on the subject of Belgian neutrality.
Germany’s reply wai the summary
rejection of the request that Belgian’s
neutrality, should be respected.
The British ambassador at Berlin
thereupon received his passports and
the British government notified Ger-
many that a state of w-ftr existed be-
tween the two countries.-
Great Britian declared war on Ger-
many at 7 o’clock. The time of Ger-
many’s declaration was not announced.
The British Admiralty officially an-
nounces the government has taken
i over the two battleships—one complet-
i ed and the other nearly completed—
ordered in England by Turkey, and
two destroyers ordered by Chile. The
battleships havfe been named the Erin
and Agincourt. %
Work is being pushed on all British
vessels in the hands of builders and
repairers.
Austria-Hungary and Germany are
opposed by .Russia, France and Great
Britian, Servia and Montenegro. Italy
has declared her neutrality, but is
mobolizing. Belgium, Holland and
Switzerland have mobilized.
The German demand that the Belgian
government should permit the free
passage of ^German troops through
Belgium was answered by hasty
preparations to resist such an advance
across Belgian territory.
Sweden has made no answer to in-
quires from Russia and Germany re-
garding her attitude, but is preparing
to defend her neutrality.
Japan is making ready to live up to
her alliance with Great Britian in case
of certain eventualities.
Spain is reported to be preparing a
proclamation of neutrality.
Austria-Hungary for the moment has
retired from ,her campaign against
Servia for the purpose of holding back
Russia and Servia has mobilized with
the reported intention of invading
Bosnia.
Tokio, Aug. 4.—The Japanese cruiser
Chiyoda, at Kure, has been ordered to
proceed hurriedly to South China wa-
ters.
' Paris, Aug. 4.—A German detach-
ment today entered the village of
Moineville, in the Department of
Muerthe at IVIoseelle. A parish priest
was killed.

Gratitude.
“I* saw your friend Brown yester-
day.” “Brown’s no friend of mine.”
“What’s that? Why, he told me you
borrowed money from him!” “Yes,
and what did I do with it? Spent it
in folly. I tell you, Brown’s no friend
of mine.”

Brain Fag.
A celebrated physician recent-
ly delivered an address before
an august body of medical men.
His subject was ‘‘Fuzzyminded-
ness.” By way of explanation
he said that a “fuzzyminded”
person is either a man or woman
who has lost his or her perspec-
tive through being over-fatigued,
that when one reaches the point
where he is tyrannized over by
little things he is like a ship
without a rudder, a motor boat
without a gasoline tank. He has
lost his'bearings and is “fuzzy-
minded.” „4
What such a person needs is to
clean up his mind and “tie up all
the debris into bundles,” said the
great man. And not only tie up
the bundles and label them for
future reference; but put them
away out of sight. To attempt
to do anything further with them
now will be useless, for there is
not steam enough in the engine
of your machinery to carry you
through.
You say “I am tired out.” So
you are. What you need more
than a tonic or any other medi-
cine is an entire change of base.
There is nothing like it to
straighten out the tangles in
one’s life. By a change of base,
I mean to get out of the rut and
do something entirely different
from what you are now doing, if
possible, and most of us oan
make it so if we will. Our work
will go on without us when we
have departed this life, and a
little care of our bodies may
keep us on this old earth longer
than if we attempt to do every-
thing iiTone day. The old ax-
iom of an “ounce of prevention”
is worth remembering and ob-
serving. If taken in time, the
“ounce” may save a “pound” of
sickness. A day or two in bed
of relaxation and complete quiet,
may prevent a hard spell of sick-
ness that would require many
weeks in bed. The “rest cure”
taken now may be a time saver,
after all.
The tired person is a poisoned
individual. While we are work
ing certain poisons are being
sent into the blood. After while
the blood becomes charged, as it
were, with these poisons, and it
begins to send it off in the body
through the lungs and other or-
gans. Until this cleansing of
the body has been accomplished
there is a let-down in the power
of the body, and the person can-
not do efficient work. That is
why absolute rest brings iuto im-
mediate action all the living en-
ergy we possess, against the
germs that are poisoning us.
Brain fag is a common com-
plaint. If we could but learn to
throw off all care and worry, at
least when we go to bed at night,
and give our minds and bodies
the repose we seek, and which is
our due, we would regain our
poise for the duties of the follow-
ing day.
By a change of base, too, I
mean a change of occupation.
For instance, if the woman who
has a yawning work basket full
of stockings to darn would take
her work out-doors,]and resolute-
ly close her doors, forgetting the
duties that await her inside, she
would find this “change of base”
effectual nine times out of ten.

hands, she might take a half
hour or so to occupy her atten-
tion with reading, music, a brisk
walk in the open, or “potter”
with her garden until she is
mentally rested.
I know big men, financiers,
who say the way they keep them-
selves from breaking—from
threatening brain-fag—is by
recreation. A game of croquet,
a half hour with the tennis rac-
quet, an hour or two at golf, or
in the winter time with checkers,
billiards or chess.
We are spendthrifts if we spend
all our nervous energy on one
thing today and expect to have a
reserve tomorrow. If we over-
draw our reserve “account,” we
must restore it tomorrow, other-
wise we will pay the price of an
exhausted reserve. In other
words, the amount of rest must
balance the amount of energy
given out.—M. M. Carrick, M. D.

Neutrality of United States Proclaimed.
Washington, Aug. 4.—Neu-
trality of the United States in the
great European war was formal-
ly proclaimed today by President
Wilson. Reciting the fact that
“ a state of war unhappily exists
between Austria-Hungary and
Servia and between German and
Russia and between Germany
and France,” the president
warned all American citizens and
foreigners resident in the United
States against violating the neu-
trality laws.
Citizens of the United States
abroad were given notice that
any misconduct on their part
would be at their own peril.
Large bodies of men have been
gathered at various points by
German, French, Servian, Rus-
sian and British representatives,
and preparations are being made
to transport them abroad, as soon
as opportunity offers.
