When was a boy used to be tormented as l
suppose most children are. by hearing talk about
bad habits. In this way | initiated into the
habit OF thinking that all habits bad habits.
Wherever turned seemed to be confronted with
warnings and prohibitions against bad habits. I
was pretty well advanced in years before | dis
covered that l had developed absurd prejudice
against habits, that habits could be the most de-
ightful Of all things, the most friendly, the most
helpful.
wish that might stop talking so much
about bad habits. In talking about good habits
we should find subject much more cheerful and
inspiring, and altogether more interesting.

There are many people who go through life ap-
parently indifferent to the power of good habits
So they are continually at the mercy of crcum-
stances. Each day they renew their experiences
without profit. Sometimes it seems as if they
began each day with almost no knowledge OF
the lessons brought them by the days gone be.
fore. So the new day is like battle to them
waged without skill, ending in defeat. At the
end they sink exhausted into sleep, older and no
wiser.
II you will look into their lives you will find
in nearly every instance. it is the little things
that have caused the exhaustion and the defeat
On the other hand, there are those who are
never bothered by the little things. These they
have placed in the realm of habit where the little
things of life are so quietly attended to, so easily
efectually. o..

An old acquaintance of Mark Twain's recently
told me a surprising story of the humorist. He
said that the least disturbance in life would cause
Mark Twain to fall into detection.
couldn't reconcile this story with what
knew about Mark Twain humorist But when
had thought about the matter for time,
fancied that | could see an explanation.
Mark Twain suffering simply from habit
In spite OF his habtual joyousness in his writing
and in his talk with friends, he had formed the
habit of letting things upset him. So two habits
worked together in him, absolutely contrary in
their nature. Like many people, Mark Twain
was a bundle of contradictions.
Our habits, exactly like our characters, seem
to run in lines.
In one Of these articles have compared human
character to mesh of string. The various strings
are habits. In the ENHANCEMENT of our habits we
are continually doing and saying things that are
absurdly contradictory.
1t is only the human being, the wonder
full exception, that seems to be able to keep the
strings OF his character, that is, his habits from
becoming twisted and suarled

GEORGE n. RUSS, JR.
Cashier Bismarck Bank

~oSbtsSg
George H. Russ, Jr., cashier OF
the Bismarck bank, is n of the
bright satellites of this city's clus-
ter of banking stars. Mr.. Russ
has been associated with this In
stitution ever since coming to
Bismarck ten years ago. He was
born in New York City but came
into his real banking experience
at Scranton, Pa. 1t was while
in Scranton that Mr.. Russ &C.
cepted the position here.
With q broad experience, the
cashier of the Bismarck bank en-
tered the local field of unusual
possibilities. He has combined
executive ability with wholesome
energy and has been quick to
take advantage Of every oppor-
tunity that presented itself for
the welfare Of his institution and
community. Mr.. Russ has a wide
acquaintance in the county and
state and his splendid personality
sustains it's healthy growth. AS
a member Of the dancing and
general committee for the bank
ers association here this month,
he no doubt will serve the visit
ors with the same brand Of salts
faction that has established his
enviable reputation in banking
circles.

HANNA WELCOMES
STATE BANKERS
Banker Governor Urges Conserv-
atism and Careful Judgement
on Financiers.
COMMUNITY LEANS
HEAVILY ON THEM
--
Explains Rule of Granting Char
tors That Is Now in
Vogue in N. D.

Governor Hanna delivered the ad-
dress OF welcome to the North Da-
kota bankers, urging upon them the
importance Of conservatism IN bank
ing. His address follows:
Bankers, you are meeting here TO-
day at the capital of u state, and
It gives me q great deal OF pleasure
a Governor of this Commonwealth
to welcome every one Of you to this
city.
ITO a large degree the progress Of
q state depends upon the conserva'
tism, the good Judgment and the char
acter Of the men who are at the head
and In control of its banking institu-
lions. It is not alone necessary that
o bank or banker should be solvent,
but It is necessary beyond that, that
the men in control Of the banks shall
be men of character, integrity and
Of standing in their communities.
When the federal government or the
state of North Dakota grants a char
ter to a set of men and permits them
to open up a bank in u state, then
the federal government or the state
practically and at least in a moral
sense, recommends to the people the
bank as q safe institution in which
to deposit their funds.
Helps Community.
Every community is dependent
largely upon the bank or banks in
their community, much more so than
the average citizen really under
stands. A bank If wisely managed
and II the loans made to its customers
are carefully made, so that while
granting to the customer credit, at
the same time making the loans in
such a conservative way that the Dor
rover can and WILD able to pay,
then the bank is an institution that
will help to build up it's community.
It IL a surprise to anyone who will
study the question to realize how
much money there is in a community,
and money that were it not for the
aa&GHksswould be absolutely idle, non
and .non-useful. The bank
gathers together the money from the
individuals and then, as has beer
found by experience, only a part Of
individuals use their money at
bb.ihe same time, and that permits the
Stbanker to loan a certain percentage OF
IT'S deposits and thus keep the bust
ness ofSsthe community moving and
gives to the bank funs with which to

Mr.. Marks was born in Wakee-

In the five years that Mr.. Frank
r. Shepard, cashier of the First
National Bank, has directed his
efforts toward enhancing the re-
putation Of that institution, there
is perhaps no better proof of the
expression that nothing sue
ceeds like success" Mr.. Shepard
fills a chair in one Of the strong
est banks in the northwest. The
First National is the second old
est banking institutio in the state
ii not the second largest. It's
capital stock and surplus are
over 100000 and it's business
blankets one Of the fastest grow
ing fields in the United States.
Mr.. Shepard was born in Bos-
ten although he denies ever hav-
ing a corner IN the bean market.
His early education and business
training was received in the east
and for twenty years he wrestled
with and mastered the banking
problems at Concord, N. #. He
came to Bismarck from that city
and in a short space of time has
established a reputation among
the top-notchers in the banking
circles of this state. Ability and
squareness in all of his business
dealings, to say nothing of a
splendid personality and genuine
friendship, have combined to
make him a leader. His contribu-
ton to the growth Of the institu-
ton he represents and communi-
ity he resides in is ever para
mount in his mind.
Mr.. Shepard was named chair
man Of the committee or general
manager Of the arrangements now
under way in make the coming
convention Of bankers in this city
the most successful in the his
tory Of the state.
