lesion. ". Va. contains this paragraph.
This bank is located ia a city that
invites manufacturers TO locate with
them and offers cheap natural gas and
coal. good railroad facilities and free
sites"
Here Is a pointer for all banks every
where. While there have been demon
stratiOns in number that a bank can
directly build up its business by adver-
using. jU1t as surely as a drug store
or a drygoods house may, yet there is
in this advertisement a recognition Of
the broader principle that by building
up the entire community a work Will
be done OF great potential advantage
to the bank itself, while at the same
time the entire community viii be bene-
hted and the prosperity Of the bank
Will not be gained at the expense Of

RUNAWAY BOYS EXPERIENCE.
Texarkana Youth Missed the Dime Novel
 Time ffe Expected.

Little Rock, May 25.--James Cook, the 14-year-old son of J. E. Cook, an attorney of Texarkana, is in the city jail here in ragged condition, awaiting the arrival of his father to take him back to his home, which he left at night about a month ago, without the knowledge of his parents.
 The lad was in school at the time and was receiving the best of attention from his parents but, as Detective Morgan expressed it, he, ''got a head full of wild west ideas" and ran away to see the world. The boy claims this is his first experience and that he is anxious to return to his home and to school.
 The boy was arrested by the detectives in the woods near the foot of State and Twenty-seventh streets Wednesday,, where he was sitting alone in the shade of a tree in very remorseful state of mind. lie claims 10 have caught a freight train out of his home town about month ago and to have gone to Van Buren, where he picked strawberries for several days and then came to this city.
 For over three weeks he has been wandering on the outskirts of Little Rock begging food from the residents and sleeping at nights in box cars or other con. venient places, afraid to enter the heart of the city for fear of being recognized in his ragged clothes. In this way he lived like a wild being.
 When questioned by the officers he broke down and asked to be sent home, saying that his par ents lived at 5l9 East Twelfth street, in Texarkana and that he was tired of his experience. He said he had always been treated indulgently by his parents and didn't know why he ran away Chief of Detectives Clifton ha: wired Chief Casey of Texarkan. about the boy and his father vii come after his son.
