 It is admitted by the state depart ment that attempts at friendly ad- justment of the outrages against American life and property in North ern Mexico has failed, and the presi- dents eXasperation at Mexico's inso- lent attitude eliminated with that countrys answer December 14 to his demand for redress, sent in Septem- Der.
 In his reply Madero admitted his in ability to cope with the situation, vir- tually refused the consideration of in- demnity for Americans whose prop erty had been destroyed and inti- mated that the Americans who have met death there deserved their fate.

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

There are three ways to shop at Christmas tme,-A Charge Account Pay Cash YouGo or Pay-By. Bank Check The first method is ex ceent PROVIDED you can pay by bank check later on. The second method sounds sensi ble but is not always practical, convenient or de sirable. Bills paid with cash sometimes turn up later unpaid. It isn't pleasant to pay bills sec ond time Even when receipt has been given unless it has been preserved and can be produced, the burden of proof lies with you. The third me- thod, the Pay By Bank Check way. is the best way,-because the check you write in payment is a complete record, to whom, when, amount. The other persons endorsement is receipt. The banks PAID stamp is evidence of final payment and the cancelled check returned by the bank is good evidence in any court in the land, We sug- gest that you open your account here and do your Christmas shopping with our bank checks

HAPPINESS A DUTY

To be happy at Christmas time is Duty. The sure way to be happy is to make others hap py. Have you heard it said, 'Christmas is only for the rich?" It is not true It never was. Christ, born in a manager, of poor percentage, brought true happiness into the world. The wise Men of the East who brought their gifts, sought no gifts in return, nor favors. The gifts be- stow upon others this year will bring pleasure and happiness only when given in the spirit of unsel- iishness The unwritten law of compensation in life says, We get what give.' The same mea- sure of joy and happiness comes to that we give to others Christmas is at hand. It is time to be happy by making others happy. And happiness is not measured by the money value of gift so much by the spirit in which it is given. Let all do Duty and be Happy. This bank wishes you the Merriest Christmas, Good Cheer and Happiness
