Working for Salaries.

We often hear teachers, clerks and others who work for salaries say that 1t Is no use for them to open bank ac count. If your expenses eat up all your salary 1t Is only one more reason why you should have a bank account. At the end of the month your checks will show you where every penny went. When you look them over ySu will see where you could have saved little here and a little there. Each month you will save little more, and will soon have & bank account that will be of great benefit to you. Our bank always has a warm welcome for young people with their first deposit. We know 1t means much to them.

The report that the interurban
line from Manhattan to Junction
City would be continued to Abilene
and on through to Salina is denied
flatly by j. T. West, general man
ager of the Manhattan Street and
Interurban Railway company, the
company that operates the interur-
ban. He says: "There is absolutely
nothing to it. If one of our stock
holders made a statement of this
kind he simply did not know what
he was talking about"
The report was credited to a
stakeholder of the company who, it
was reported, said that this was
certainty.

DO YOU EVER VISIT SCHOOL?
Your Interest in Your Children

You look out carefully for the
exterior OF your boy as he sets out

about what they are putting into his
mead! The old fashioned school
nouse used to have throng ON "ex-
hipition day." The children sang
sweet little songs about daisies, and
spoke pretty poems about the bird
les. The question whether they
could keep a cash account orr write

read was much in the background.

What the styles of children's coats
