Grasp This Opportunity While You


If any of our banks were to make a
proposition such as we make daily
people would jump at it. Yet the COM
bined capital and surplus of all of
our banks does not equal the stand
ing of our company. 1t is marvellous
how any sane man, especially if he
has a family, can hesitate, even for a
moment. Here is a proposition which
inspires thrift, encourages savings
and provides not only for dependent
ones, but for ones own old age, which
requires only little self-denial and
good health, habits and character.
One of our leading railroad officials
said some time ago, II have tried in
vestments of various kinds. 1 have,
and do still, put money. in bank, but
I have more money saved in my
Massachusetts, policies than in any
other direction"
Many are taking advantage of our
proposition. Let US make it to you.
Send US your name, age and address,
and we will let you know all about it.

EASILY ANSWERED..
No Prize offered for the Solution OF
This Riddle.

Why is it necessary for a butcher to
serve his customers honestly? In the
first place, a caterer cannot hold trade
by palming off tough stuff on them, for
they spend their money with another,
who will give them fair play. And as
no butcher who values his trade wants
to lose it, he should treat customers
fairly. Take Logan, in the city mar
ket. He has been treating his people
right for twenty-five years, and can
now point to people who have been
patronizing him for many years. That
means they are satisfied. Give him a
chance to serve you.-ad.

The oleom arsarine Law.

Some time ago it was shown that
one weakness of the present oleomar-
garine law, the use of some ingredient
which made 1t possible to avoid the
law against the use of coloring mat
ter, was working hnrdships on butter
makers, but reports generally indicate
that the law was q wise one, and prove
beyond all question that consumers do
want oleomargarine. 1t was held by
the opponents of the Grout bill that
the public demand was so great that
to place any restrictions on the meth
DDS Of marketing oleo would be to
drive out of the market meritorious
article. Those who upheld the bill
claimed that If oleo had any merit of
its own it should be sold on that merit,
and not disguised as butter. The law
US enforced has shown that by far the
greater number Of those who used
oleo did SO because they assumed it was
butter, the color helping to carry out
the deception. Oleo may be nutritious
and have great merit, but 1t is evident
that few people desire 1t or will buy 1t
when they have full knowledge that 1t
is not from the product Of the cow.
The Grout bill has benefited farmer
and consumer alike, and any attempt
which is likely to be made. this coming
session of Congress to modify its pro-
visions should be fought hard by farm
ers ard dairymen. IL butter must be
sold on its merits, why not oleo, also?

COURAGE

VINO fails to strike when mans assailed,
6. For fear Of selfish pain or loss;
Who weakly covers when right is nailed
Upon the proud worlds heavy cross;
Who fails to speak the splendid word
OF bold defiance to lie;
Whose voice for truth is family heard
When party passions mount on high;
Who dnres no struggling cause espouse,
And loves no paths by martyrs trod;
Whose timorous soul no call can rouse
To dare to stand alone with God
That man is coward, and no deeds
OF yalor done on fields of strife
Can prove his courage. Battle needs
Are naught beside tested life.
Who dalleys with temptations lure,
Nor hurls his tempter to the ground;
Who champions not the weak, the poor,
Whom power and strength with cords
have bound:
Who bows obsequious to the strong,
And brushes what he knows is weak;
Who crouches meath opinions lash,
Nor dares his own true thought pro-
claim;
Who never with an impulse rash
Ran on before his time-is tame,
10 coward, and no work uprears Il.
Which lasts. Gods edict on high
Says courage shall outlnst the years,
But every coward soul shall die.
