Bankers Convene
Mllbank will Entertain the Fifth
Group State Bankers Association
Next Thursday

Next Thursday
A fine program has been ar
ranged for the meeting of the
bankers at Milbank next week,
and it is believed that a large
representation Of the group will
be present The program has
been prepared not alone for the
entertainment of the bankers,
but for the benefit of the farmers
and business men Of this locality
There was a time in the history
of this new state when the farm
ers were led to believe that there
was something of an antagonism
between the bank and the farm.
Happily that fee ling has largely
passed away, and the farmer,
with new and improved methods
of farming demanded of him has
rightly come to the conclusion
that the properly conducted and
stable bank is really his partner
in business and one of bis most
helpful agencies IN the success
full cultivation of his farm. The
merchant and business man in
this agricultural country as well
as the banker, is almost as di-
rectly interested as the farmer
himself in the success Of the ag
ricultural operations Of the
country, and to the afternoon
publ c meeting the farmers
and citizens of Milbank are cor
daily invited. and it is hoped
that this gathering may prove
one of the best the bankers have
ever held. Following is the pro
gram, and the illustra ated Road
lecture by Parmley as well as
the other lectures. will be well
worth hearing. The following is
the program:

Get After Those Promises Now

Candidates. Now is the time to
90 to those people who promised
to help you at the end proyidin e
you had a good chance of winning
Show them that you do stand
good chance Of winning the auto
mobile or piano and ask them to
pay for more than one year.
Show them the vote schedule
and point out the ten year sub
scription for 1000 votes.
It's Better to be Sure Than Sorry
1t is better to win the automo-
bile by a hundred thousand votes,
than to lose it by a single sub
scription Almost all The people
Of the United States expected
johnson to whip Willard, but he
failed. Our contest is to close
for any candidate to feel certain
of winning. It is especially close
when you realize that ten, ten
year subscriptions. count 100000
votes, and that twenty Of them
count 600, 600 votes. Every can
didate should try hard to get a
bunch OF these ten year SUBJ
scriptiOns. Remember candi-
dates, the man who pays you for
ten yeas is paying nothing ex-
tra-he gets the Hera d-Advance
at the regular rate Of 81 90 a year
for that number of years-and
you can induce many of your
friends aud relatives to pay ten
years in advance because it costs
them nothing extra-in reality
saves them ten trips to the Office.
Closing Rules
From now until the end of the
contest no more ballots need be
written. The candidates can
keep the money they collect, or
have collected and not turned in,
until the last day of the contest
Then they can put the money to
gether with q list of the subscri-
bers they are turning in, in an
envelope, which they must seal,
and cast into q sealed ballot box
that we will have at our Office for
that purpose. sometime before
500 p m. Saturday April 18th.

Degeneration. in the medical sense,
means a distinct deviation from the normal
or usual. Ii i shown by faulty or I'M
balanced development of the body, and
by nervous and mental peculiarities. Neu-
rotic individuals. those with hereditary
tendencies 10 insanity, alcoholism. drug
habits. and the like, are most likely To eX-
hibit the StigInata or marks OF d%egenera-
ton. However. anatomical stigmata are
very often seen in absolutely healthy
stock: most Of us can boast some little
freakish trait If we Will. Indeed. the medi-
cal conception of insanity permits no fast
drawn line between sane and insane; there
are very few gradations, cccentricitics.
pcculiarities, monomauias. between the
frankly sane and the theoretically normal.
That u why medical -DCrt Witnesses and
criminal-ycry cr;mira. - lawyers have
such difficulty in reaching conclusions IN

IN arbitrary one: the medical conception
recognizes the resistance To classification
