IN SURPLUS PROFITS

On July LIST, 1912 the surplus profit funds of the
First National Bank of Barbourville reached 500 000
90. A large surplus profit fund is the
pride of any bank fortunate to have same.
What is a Surplus Profit fund? 1t is this, it is the
net profits net earnings remaining after the stock
holders have been paid their dividends The First
National Bank on the LIST day of January and the LIST
day of July of each year pay to the stockholders
certain part of the net earnings profits dividends
and the remainder of the net profits is set apart to
what is known as the Surplus Profit fund. This
surplus profit fund has now reached ($2OOCO,0O)
Twenty Thousand Dollars The surplus profits
main in the bank to strengthen the bank. 1t also
shows the prosperity of the bank as well careful
and successful management. This Bank now
has the largest surplus profit fund of any
bank in this section, and this taken with
the banks assets, nearly a quarter of a
million dollars ($25O, 900, oO) and its thirty
six stockholders with combined wealth
of more than million dollars, (I,OOO, OOO,O O)
and the fact that it is the largest United
States Depository in this section, and that
it pays 3 per cent on time deposits, makes
it one of the strongest financial institu-
tons i'm the State, and an inviting place in
which to deposit money for safe keeping.
and every knowing the splendid condition of this
bank, gladly recommends it.

Especial to the Herald)


Georgetown, KY, June 90
In an interview with Hon. Caleb
Powers, who was on his way to
Frankfort Wednesday to draw
for place on the primary ballot
for Congress in the Eleventh
District, Mr.. Powers said to the
Herald correspondent, when ask
ed if he had any opposition in
his district: mo, ! have no OPP
position before the primary. |
have refused to be drawn into
factional fights in the Eleventh
District, We have entirely too
many of them and | have discour-
aged them all | could. | am not
a fractional candidate, as is evil
denced by the fact that all sides
have united in giving me clear
track.
lam a Republican and repre-
sent large Republican district,
and stand for the fair thing and
a square deal always, not only
between Republicans but be-
tween Republicans and Demo
Gratis. We have too much unfair
ness in political conventions, and
too much corruption in politics
generally. People ought to be
honest and square in their politi-
cal methods as they are in their
business methods.
"Yes, | was nominated and
elected before by an Overwhelm-
ing majority, and have tried
faithfully to represent what |
thought to be the wishes and in
terests of my constituency, and
shall continue TO do so.
When asked if there was a
good deal of feeling between the
Taft and Roosevelt supporters in
the eleventh District, Mr.. Pow
ers replied: "Yes, the feeling is
pretty strong up there, but both
of the Taft and Roosevelt sup
porters are for me for Congress.
| have just as good friends on
one side as the other, aud | will
in the future, as | have done in
the past, continue to do all in
my power for all of my constitu-
ents, and will try conscientiously
to reflect the will of the people. "

"CHANGE" IS GENIUS

Cambridge, Mass, June 29.-"Wo-
men are fast developing a financial
genius, and a sign of it is there going
through their husbands pockets for
loose change. Women can't help that
and they need not try. Its root is
planted deep in the womanly nature,

leader of Stamford, Conn.
women go through the husbands
ockets to take care of their money

their pockets, which proves that they
can't take care of their money. Wo-
men do not waste the money they take
from their husbands, Often it goes to
the bank and stays there.
This pocketbook searching is an
indication of economy. Something is
going to waste. We conserve it. Who
ever has the instinct for saving has
the financial means in embryo. 1t is
at any rate an excellent beginning.
furthermore women are ever bit as
honest as men,"
