Some Fool Scheme.

1t everyone who is tempted to
invest his money IN some fool
scheme would consult his banker
first, most of these schemes would
be- defeated. Their big advertise
ments telling of immense divid-
ends, their alluring circulars in
forming the unwary how easily
500 is transformed into 81. 900
have caught many suckers during
these prosperous times and much
MONEY has been taken out of
legitimate channels to line the
pockets ofthese grafters. Accun1-
ulating money by saving and 4
per cent looks very slow to most
people and this is where the man
with his get-rich-quich scheme
comes in. 1t is far better TO be
safe than sorry; far better to
have your few hundreds only
drawing 4 per cent than not to
have il at all. 1t NAV be set
down AS a perfectly safe propos-
ition that anything offering re-
turns beyond those possible in
legitimate channels of business
is fake. If something looks
good to you come in and talk
it over with us. We may know
something ABOUT it which you
don and this knowledge is ours
for the, asking. If it is all right
we will tell you so and if it Is all
wrong we will tell you that.
Remember your banker is your
friend. He cannot prosper unless
you do.
We pay 4 per cent. on Savings
Deposits, and compound the in
terest quarterly.

BIG DEAL IN MICHIGAN LAND
Purchase Of Vast Tract Almost az

land in the upper peninsula of Michi-
gan by H. H. Hamilton of Saint Paul.
for the Western Land Securities com.
pany of that city, employment will be
given to 5000 men in that district this
year. It is the intention of the com.
pany to spend $5,0O0000 on drainage
and other improvements.
Work will be rushed as rapidly as
possible and as soon as spring opens
laborers will be in demand on the
peninsula. Dredging crews will in.
wade the territory and will start work
as soon as the weather conditions per-
NIT. Manistique river will be the

Is to be removed from the land and

ditch diggers build ditches around
each section OF land. they will at the
same time be building road. The
huge dippers of these dredging ma
chimes as they lift the soil from the
earth will cast it on either side of the
ditch and deposit 1t In such a manner
that steam rollers and grading ma
chimes will find 1t very little trouble to
roll 1t out and level 1t into road.
This plan of simultaneous ditch and
road building has been successfully
followed in the upper portion of Min.

cry of farmers that they could not get
