•e. This Bank solicits the accounts of responsible individu-
als, firms and corporations.
Its mangement is conservative and liberal—banking
methods cannot change radically from the old common horse-
sense of prudence. A bank is as strong as its management,
and no stronger. A good, strong bank has no flattering
offers to make other, than strength, integrity and due regard
for its patrons' welfare.

The
WANTED-AMERICANS!
There are 90,000,000 of us in the United States — all in the
family of our own Uncle Sam.
And Uncle Sam needs money—your money—everybody’s
money. He doesn’t ask you to give it to him; he wants to borrow
and pay you interest for it.
Maybe ytJU didn’t have $50 or $100 to lend him in Liberty
Bonds, but surely you have 25 cents. If we, all of us, buy one
thrift stamp—just one stamp apiece—that is $22,500,000, and if
everyone of us buys $4.12 worth — 25 cents worth from time to
time for sixteen times—that’s $370,800,000.
Your pin money does help. Doesn’t it?
We don’t know how much money you have—how much—
how little. It doesn’t matter, anyway. For it is getting to a point
that every man—every woman—every boy—every girl—must
make the business of helping win this war — the most important
thing on earth.
Like the Liberty Bonds, the war savings certificates bear
4% interest. On January 1,1923 each certificate will be worth $5.
These stamps are exchangeable at face value plus accumulated
interest at any time between now and January 1,1923.
You can buy from your mail carrier or at the Post Office.
Buy your first one today.

Grand Jury Returns Indictments
Twenty-four indictments were
returned by the Federal grand
jury in session at Baris last week
against white men near Blakene.v
who are charged with driving
negroes out of the country. Sev
enteen of the men have been ar
rested. It now appears that the
charge is a very serious one
The indictments were returned
under section 6 of the National
Defense Act, which was passed
by congress after the United
States became involved in the >
war with Germany. It charges i
tjie-defendanls with conspiring!
against the governmgnt to limit j
the production of certain neces-
sities. ,
Auto Tujns Over
J. E. Westbrook and Arthur
Campbell went to Quanah re
cently to purchase Ford cars.
On the return trip they were ac-
companied by Bob Reed and son.
Maurice, who also drove a Ford
thru. While nearing Sanger, a
tire on the car driven by Mr.
Westbrook blew out and the ma-
chine ran into a newly made dirt
road and turned over. The driver
managed to crawl from beneath
the car, but was considerably
bruised. He was unable to drive
it home, and it was stored at
Sanger.
Small Blaze At Editor’s Home
There was a small blaze at the
editor’s home Tuesday when
burning soot that had accumulat
ed in a flue set tire to the walls
surrounding the chimney. An
alarm was sounded and two fire
extinguishers and a few buckets
of water put out the blaze. The
damage was covered by insur
ance. We wish to thank our
neighbors and friends who in any
way assisted us in saving our
home.
A letter from Claude Barham,
who went to Camp Travis for
training four weeks ago, states
that he haa been made a corporal.
