4 TRIBUTE TO THE PRESS.

President bergman of the Kansas
State Bankers Association recently
paid the following splendid tribute to
the press for their loyalty during the
panic last fall:
1--WE should take off our hats, and
the country as we'll, to the newspaper
fraternity and never forget the invalu-
able service they ON this occasion rem
dered ourselves and the entire nation.
Don't forget it, you country bankers,
and in the future remember how your
struggling local paper and it's poorly
paid editor stood by you like brother
in your hour of trial, Loyalty and stead
tasty, and hereafter see that he gets
the support and encouragement which
he usually merits, but seldom receives.
Give him your printing, your job work
and your advertising, and don't send
somewhere else for it, because, with
better facilities, they may be able to do
it little cheaper. Patronize your To-
cal paper all you can and try to show
him that you appreciate the loyal sup
port he has so disinterestedly given
you on, every occasion without expec-
tation of reward other than the con-
seriousness Of having served his COM
munity best and we'll and in which ex-
recitation he has to our discredit too
