THE WOODMEN BANQUET

The Woodmen annual banquet
held Thursday night was, as usual,
one of the big social events of the
season. While the attendance was
very much smaller than at former
times, the affair was enjoyed fully
as much. The banquet included an
elaborate menu and was most excel
lent. The hall was very pretty in
the Woodmen ideas and tasteful ar
rangement of colored streamers,
while cut flowers in vases adorned
the tables.
Following the banquet, a short
program was rendered in the lodge
room. Mrs. Trueblood in her gra-
cious and pleasing manner sang THE
Dawning" by Cadman, and Morn
ing" by Speaks, also responding to
an encore. Classical selections on
piano were delightfully."- executed by
Mrs. Pollock, and Miss Culver gave
two clever rsonation-readings.
The balance of the evening was
enjoyed with cards and other games
in the lodge room, while a dance in
the banquet hall claimed it's devotees
to the irresistible orchestral music.

MACHINE ALMOST THINKS

In this age of great mechanical
invention, it is hard to determine
which individual machine represents
the greatest genius. The First Ma
tional bank of Monte Vista installed
on February % Burroughs adding
machine which seems to be the very
acme of perfection in the field of in
vention. The machine is the latest
improved model put out by the Bur-
roughs people. is operated by small
electric motor and what it will do is
marvellous. In addition to its being
straight adding machine, 1t will
subtract and will be of great utility
to the bank In use as a ledger post
ing machine. For instance, It will
take a depositors balance of the day
before, subtract from 1t the amounts
of any checks drawn against the ac-
count, add to 1t any deposit made
and render in printed figures the
amount of the current days balance
together with the date. The First
National is to be congratulated upon
their progressiveness.

RIO GRANDE SHEEPMEN
HAVE A GOOD MEETING

A fair attendance was had at the
all-day meeting of the Rio Grande
Sheep and Wool Growers association
in Monte Vista Monday. Especially
noticeable was the large number of
small owners present
Different problems of the sheep
men were discussed. The best meth
DDS of handling sheep were brought
out and the question of herders occu
pied a good deal of attention in the
forenoon. Some of the sheep owners
stated that they considered it econ
omy to employ good herders at high
er than ordinary wages. 1t was also
suggested that mutton supplied as
meat for the herder at the present
high prices was much more expensive
than either pork or beef. Other
phases of sheep raising occupied the
afternoon session.
This association is endeavoring to
secure for it's members an immunity
from scab and promises to effect an
organization that will be of great
benefit to those engaged in the sheep
raising business. Olin Perdew, sec
retary, is untiring in his efforts to
perfect the organization.

A great deal of interest was mani
tested at the meeting of the Marsh
school Parent-Teachers' association
Monday afternoon. Miss Webber
read a paper on How the Parent
Can Help the Teacher; and talks
and readings on topical subjects were
given by a number of the parents in
attendance. From discussions had
at this meeting it appears that the
problem of moral control of the
child is receiving an awakened inter
est and it is expected that something
effective will be attempted to relieve
deplorable condition that now OBJ
tains in our public schools. 1t is
proposed to hold social meeting at
City hall on March IT, at which
there will be a spelling match, de-
bate, refreshments, etc. For the

THE PREACHERS SALARY

4 T the recent Northern Baptist con-
~ vention in Minneapolis, business
4 4 man of New York had the nerve
and the good sense to take the floor and
make the statement that the average sal
airy of the preacher is far too small. We
heartily agree with the gentleman from
New York. We know men in the min
istry who are woefully unpaid, and yet
were they engaged in most any other line
they have the ability to command large
salaries. That isn't justice, and the peo-
Pile should hang their heads in shame We
have heard of ministers with fairly large
families to support, who were not earn
ing to exceed $500 year. And yet those
men we're expected to- dress we'll and to
dress their families we'll, and to labor
faithfully and efficiently for the redemp-
tion of mankind. Many minister's "sal-
airy" is a mere mockery. Any man with
Ia trade earns more than they. And yet
these ministers go on, year in and year
out, living from hand to mouth. making
great sacrifices and giving literally to ev-
cry worthy cause-knowng full we'll that
they are aging day by day. that there is
nothing saved for old age. that eventual
ly they must face an humiliating position
Such conditions are not right, and should
not be tolerated by the people, We should
see that our ministers are amply paid
Give them chance to save something! A
sensational evangelist will come into city
or town, run wild at the mouth, work peo-
pie up into hysterical condition-and go
away with thousands of dollars! There
is no Justice in that. It is the pastor who
is with you every day and who breaches
to you on Sunday, who buries your dead
and marries your betrothed, and visits and
consoles your sick who should be given
first consideration. When will the people
see the light Winnebago Enterprise.

When you mail your check your trou-
be is over and the banks has just begun,
for the bank warrants to you three things,
all for your own protection and at it's own
risk. It is well to know them.
It guarantees (a) That it will pay only
the checks you have signed. If your name
is forged and the bank pays the check it
cannot charge the amount to your account
CO. That it will pay only in the sum orig
inaEy drawn. If some one gets your check
and raises the amount, making it appar-
emily a genuine check, the hank can only
charge the amount in which you original
ly drew the check, unless it can show you
were grossly careless in so drawing that
you invited fraud. Therefore be careful
to draw your checks properly; (c) To pay
to the party to whom you ordered the
amount paid and none other. If the check
gets into the hands of strangers who
forge the Endorsement, SO that the party
to whom you ordered the money paid does
not get it, the payment is at it's risk, and
you are harmless.
AL this is ultimately for your good as
depositor. You know that your account
cannot be drawn against except on your
order You know that the party you want
to receive payment gets it. You get back
the most perfect voucher known to the
business world. Many dispute has been
settled and loss and law suit avoided by
producing bank vouchers that told in no
uncertain way that payment had been
made according to the intent of the draw
er. Therefore for your own good you
ought to keep your money in bank, and
draw it out by check.-A. B. A.

SOMETIMES A NUISANCE

THERE may be times and reasons wher
and why it is necessary for a chilo
= under twelve years of age to at
tend public meeting unaccompanied by
an older person. We say maybe but can
didly we can't conceive of any such neces-
sity. It looks to us like a getting rid of a
child by his fond CD parents. Where a
child accompanies his parents and is OBJ
liged to keep reasonably quiet his pres
ence is at least bearable although then,
in nine cases out of ten he is better at
home and in bed if the meeting is an
evening one. But to let child attend a
meeting alone, sit in the front row of the
audience and make himself obnoxious by
restlessness, noise or moving about the
room, makes not only for the discomfort
of the audience, but is bad citizenship
training for the youngster as we'll. Chill
dren in their places are the source of pleas
ure to all who know them; out of their
places they are nuisances. Two years ago
the Chautauqua platform manager stated
that Redwood Fails children made the en-
tertainers under his management more
uncomfortable than the children Of any
other town on his circuit. Chautauqua
time is approaching and it may be as we'll
for Redwood Falls parents to give this
statement a passing thought.

A L ks ON B A NKIN
I'LL
Getting Your Money Out Of The Bank

IF the bank rendered no other service to
the community than to protect it's
valuables it would render useful
one; but it would be mouse-trap propo-
sition, you could only go one way; but the
bank makes it easier to get money out
than in, and in the outgoing process as
sumes risks and renders benefits too often
lost sight of in the busy whirl of business.
We take many things for granted and
live in matter-of-fact age. We want our
morning paper at the breakfast table with
never a delay and with little thought of
what it costs to collect, transmit, type,
print and deliver the news. We want our
train on the dot or we get impatient. We
want our milk and our coal, blizzard or no
blizzard. We likewise expect the bank to
do our business smoothly, efficiently, and
without thought of the cost or the risks
attending.
When your bank hands you check
book, it gives you license to draw as many
checks, in as large or as small sums as
you wish, with the only provision Except
in certain cases where minimum balance
is requred) that you do not overdraw, and
promises to honor your checks as pre-
sented as long as your balance is suffi-
cient to pay them.
Whether you want to pay your credi-
tor in the next block, or thousand miles
away, the checking privilege of bank
account permits you to make your pay
ment with ease, safety and despatch.

THE COURTEOUS AUDIENCE

~ EDWOOD Falls audiences are strange
X ly lacking in courtesy to the speak
ers and entertainers who appear on
the local stage. This fact is so noticeable
that it is commented upon freely by out
of-town visitors, and, in very many cases,
by the person who has occupied the plat
form. A restless, wiggly, twisty, whis-
pering, gun-chewing audience is an insult
to any speaker, far greater insult than
empty seats. The statement will be borne
out by those at the Armory Friday even
ing who were there because they were
serious in their desire to hear the mes
sage of the speaker, to show the senior
class the respect due it and to show that
at least part of the townspeople are in
telligent enough to wish to give genuine
attention. The whispered or murmured
comments and gossip, the restless moving
in the seats and the pushing of chairs on
the floor all helped to create an atmos-
phere which was equally unpleasant for
the speaker and those interested in his
address. The restlessness was
shown by the people of the city and
by many who claim real interest in mat
ters of intellect and education. Assume
virtue if you have it Motif you are
not interested at least pay the courtesy
of an assumed attention, and let those
really interested listen in peace.
