What's the Matter with
Business in the
Northwest

WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE wrote an
"epic" on whats the matter with
Kansas few years ago. He dis
covered there was nothing the mat

There's nothing the matter with
the SECOND NATIONAL BANK and the
many people who are doing business
with this institution. We refer to
our bank statement in the opposite
column.
Note that our deposits are $1,40O,-
100000. Our resources are $685.
32588. This indicates unusual pros
| perity in the northwest. It shows
that the people have money and that
they have confidence in this institu-
| ton.
The surplus and undivided profits
| of this bank amount to $4,000, and
add to this the 100000 liabilities of
the stockholders, and you will readily
| note that there isn't sounder bank
! ing institution in this section of the
! state.
This bank is member of the Fed

II had a lot Of jobs In the summer

ditches," the boy continued. Il couldn't
get nothin' better and all Of 'em was
the same. None Of 'em paid more'n
$3.50 day, and none of 'em lasted
longer'n a week or two. Some fellows
seem to get steady Jobs. But couldn't

Finally, when winter came around
I wasn't strong like used to be. The

walkin' the streets too long with never
a breath of pure air. And l didn't
have much money.

we'd get a job that'd last a day or two,
shoveling snow, working on the
streets or loadin' coal. Sometimes
we'd get something to eat and some
times we wouldn't"
Jim paused. He passed his hand
YEARLY across his forehead. II reckon
that's about all of it." he said. I've
been in the hospital two months now
and the doctor says, can go home
pretty quick. 1t can't be too quick
for me.

what it'll seem like not to hear q
street car bumpin' along any more,
and, say, won't 1t be great to get
away from all this dirt and smoke and
noise?
Say, I'm goin' to make things hum
when I get home. Pas beginnin' to
get old and I'm goin' to run things.
I'm goin' to work hard-and I'll be
workin' for myself. I'm goin' to find

farmin' I've heard about. And you
just watch me-I'm going to make

HOPE FOR THE NUDE-PATED
Naked Domes, Scene Of Fly Tango
Parties, Are Made TO Sprout
Hair.

Bald heads, cheer up; BARRIERS, re-
joice. Curly locks are to sprout from
the barest dome ever fly tangoed on.
AS "the good men come from
Glo'ster," so the good news comes
from Boston, that extraordinary city
which is the home OF the succulent
bean and Virginias only rival In tho
family tree business.
The great discovery was made in
Massachusetts General hospital. Men
have gone in with their scalps az nude
as Mont Blanc and come out for
ever disqualified for the Front Row
club.
Mayor Walter Wardwell of Cam
bridge was among the first to try the
new system. The mayor was not en-
tirely bald, but had a patch on the
back of his head that looked like
moths In sealskin. That spot 10 now
the site for q scalp lock that would
make even the best Of Indians a back
slider II he once saw it.
Rubbing the scalp with Turkish
towel is the principal part Of the
treatment This is done at regular
intervals and systematically followed
up.
Bald men hate to be bald. Every
body makes fun of them. Mosquitoes
hold banquets on their craniums. The
sun beats mercilessly down upon the
bald spots of just and unjust alike.
Not victim but will gladly rub the
skin of his pate to raise a few bull
rushes there.

patients department Of the hospital
claims that the system will grow
whiskers on q cake of Ice and that
the man who Is laughed at today for
rubbing his scalp till It IL as red as
a beet win tomorrow have crop Of
hair that would make wild man Of
Borneo jealous.
Special treatment Is necessary in
each case, according to the particular
Ill affecting the subject. Doctor Bruce
declared that badness is symptom
Of disease, and the fundamental trou-
BILE must be cured before the Turkish
towel rubbing shows any effect. Sick
men must be cured; thinkers must
stop thinking, sinners must reform.
