and numerical development OF oul
city actuated the officers and directors
in announcing the National Exchange
Bank at this time. No city of the
same population i'm this country, al.
though in some instances having a
dozen more banks, has within, approx.
imately thirty millions of our total
deposits. The need of another clear.
ing-house bank was not only apparent
but it was the consensus of the opin-
ion of those who were consulted that
with the very strong and widely
known official personnel, 1t would
prove a most pronounced success. In
this connection it ks timely to disclose
that by taking the quarters of the old
Second National Bank, where still re-
main the bank fixtures, vaults, safes,
ETC., saving of several thousand dol
lars to tile stockholders will be real
lied. .&
By placing a maximum, on the
amount of stock any person or corpo-
ration could own, the Organizing
Committee showed sound Judgment.
AS a result of this limitation the bank
will open with nearly three hundred
stockholders. This direct support
properly looked after and encouraged
represents foundation upon which,
it is freely predicted. one of our city's
leading banking institutions will be
built.
The combined, uncommon and diver
sified qualifications of the officers of
this bank are so widely recognized
that the success of the institution can
be measured by the activity of those
who have it's affairs in their keeping.

Extension Masazine.)

A few days before the election
there were published in the daily
papers dispatches, coming from New
London, Connecticut, to the effect
that the Mexican Commission had re-
cefved a long affidavit from ten
Roman Catholic priests, certifying
that religious persecution no longer
existed in Mexico.
Just one month before. five
churches had been seized in Mexico
City, and they are still in the hands
OF the Carranza government. Less
than three. months before, a priest
had been sent into penal seryitude
for teaching cateehism. In the
whole State of Yucatan only four
churches are open.
The very morning on which we
read this new canarf In the daily
papers an exiled Mexican priest
called at our office. He had been
pastor in a city of some 10000 in
habitants, where he had four assist
ants, together with number of other
priests attached to various chapels.
All of these priests have been or.
dered out of the city except two
one so feeble that he was unable to
walk a single block, the other stone
blind. AS many as eleven sick calls
day (not counting those of the coun-
try districts around about have to
be attended by the priests of that city.
The sick and the old priests were
left alone to take care of the dying.
Is there religious liberty in Mexico?
OF the ten men who signed the petit
ton only one was a Mexican; the
others are strangers. 1t was written
by member of Carranza's cabinet,
| and the man who engineered the sign
ing was an intruded rector in one of
the parishes in Mexico City, man
of such bad character that he actually
had served term in the penitentiary
for forgery. He was the same man
who engineered, at Carranza's re-
quest, the signing of similar state
ment in Vera Cruz. The Mexican
Commission might be in better, work
than STOPPING to Carranzista trickery;
but the document, in all probability,
| served its purpose, and the reason for
it ended the evening of Nov. Z.

THE FARTHEsT FENCE

There are fences and fences on AL
ta's grandfather's farm. There were
wire fences and rail fences and
high fences and low fences, but the
little girl liked none of them quite
so we'll as the farthest fence.
All the other fences are out in
the open; they are around wide
fields and sunny meadows, but the
farthest fence runs through the
woods, right between the trees am
over little brook.
Perhaps Alta liked the farthest
fence best of all because it was the
hardest to climb. The reason was il
was made of old stumps laid side
by side; their great roots stood out
on every side and left scarcely 6
hole to crawl through.
No one except Alta ever tried tt
climb the farthest fence, but she
knew every curve and twist of the
gnarled old roots.
Atlas grandfather told her about
the old fence, for it was very old

What she did while up so high.

To plant flower-seeds, or potatoes
For no one knows but you.
When tbs best for roots that grow
in the ground,
Or when tits best for flowers,
And we want you to tell if the sun
will shine,
Or if we will have more showers.
The man in the moon said, What
l say goes,
On earth you'll find that true,
And if l fool 'em and tell EN-
wrong,
That's just between me and you.
The old women told me when she
came back,
And l almost had swoon,
To think that one could not always
believe
What was told by the man il

THE BOY WHO TOLD FIBS
There was once a little fellow
Who could never tell the truth,
He would tell fib to Johnny,
And to Millly and to Ruth.
When he started in to fibbing,
Goodness gracious, me- he thot,
Now III have to tell another
So the first one won't be caught"
Then he had to tell a third one.
And fourth one-oh, how sad
For we really came to know him
AS the STORY TELLING lad.
So we'd better all take warning,
When fib is ON our lips;
Simply bite our tongues little
Then it stops before it slips.

GU are stronger than a lion"

you are stronger than lion"
The poor horse was very sad and |
wandered up and down the woods, |
seeking shelter from the cold wind |
and rain. Finally he met a fox and |
told him his sad fate.
Cheer up said the fox, and L /
will help you Even if your owner
did turn you out when you were too
old to work there is still justice in
the world. Lie down here, stretch
yourself out stiff and pretend to be
dead
So the poor old horse did as the
fox told him, and the fox dashed
off to a lion that lived in cave
near by, and said;
GA little way from here lies a
dead horse. Come with me and you
can make an excellent meal of
him
The lion was very hungry so
what the fox said pleased him and
he gladly ran to where the horse
lay
Then the fox sadi: .You can't eat
him comfortably here. Let me tie
you fast to his tail Then you can
drag him to your cave and eat him
at your leisure.
The idea pleased the lion, and he
lay down and let the fox tie him
fast to the horses tail. But the fox
managed to tie his legs together
and bound him so fast that he could
not get free. Then the fox clapped
the horse on the shoulder and cried
Get up, Dobbin, get up
So up sprang the horse and up
sprang the lion. Each pulled and
pulled, but the fox had tied the
lion so hard that he could not
loosen his feet.
The poor old horse tugged and
tugged, dragging the lion behind
him. The lion ragged and roared
and beloved, till the woods echoed
with the noise, and the birds all
became so frightened that they flew
away, but the lion could not get
i loose.
The poor old horse kept on tug
ging until finally he made his way
to his masters farmhouse.
"Here he is, MASTER" he told the
farmer who had turned him out in
the rain and cold. 81 got the best
of him. You see l am stronger than
a lion. y
When the farmer saw the lion
his heart was touched, and he said:
From now on you shall stay in my
stable and have all the hay and care
you need"
And SO the faithful old horse had
plenty to eat and shelter from the
cold and rain as long as he lived.

THE RABBIT

The rabbit is a scarry thing
He doesn't new or bark or sing,
AS far as | could ever find.
And when he leaves his hole or
nook
He starts to listen and to look;
He'll hop along the ground a bit
And then upon his launches sit;
And raise his ears and spread them
And listen, listen all about;
And if he hears the slightest sound
He's off without look around.
He hustles home near out of breath
And always scared almost to death;
He'd have lot of fun, guess
If he'd play more and listen less.
