OBJECT OF SUSPICION
By OLIVE WENGLER.

AS Chilly sat huddled on the top step leading to his house and felt the misty rain against his face he wish ed he had not been so everlastingly reserved. He wished he had been wont to mingle with his fellow men, especially since coming to the sub- urbs few weeks previous to live. These reflections were surging through his soul because Chilly was locked out. In addition to this fact, it was after 12 o'clock, his wife was away on a visit and he didn't know the people next door.
 He couldn't go to a hotel. because He couldn't take a train back to town, because the trains had stopped run ming by that time. It grew colder and colder
 Chilly felt that he must do some thing. So. tumbling down his steps, he strode across the wet lawn to the neighboring house, where he rang the bell

Influence of the Clnematoqraph.

A striking illustration of the infiu- ence of the ubiquitous cinematograph is reported by the United States con- sulate at Belgrade, Servia. American fashions have recently become very popular with the young men of that city, there is an unprecedent. ed demand at the, local shops for hats. boots, and other wearing apparel sim liar to that in vogue in the United States: and the American style of hair cutting has come into favor. These innovations are unmistakably the result of the exhibition of moving pictures of American origin. The ob vious moral of all this, as the consul points out, Is that the cinematograph might be used to great advantage in advertising all kinds of American products. For instance, pictures of American agricultural machinery in operation would probably create great demand for the thing itself This plan offers an economical substitute for the actual exhibition of American products in commercial museums and the like

There three ways to shop at Christmas time,-A Charge Account,-Pay Cash As You-Go or Pay By Bank Check. The first method is ex- cellent PROVIDED you can pay by bank check later on. The second method sounds sensi- be 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 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 a 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.
