The Bank and It's Depositors

This is to be the centennial year
of the savings bank. We shall
hear much of the savings bank,
what it is and what it does, and
much Of thrift, which is the foun.
dation on which it is built.
1t is but fitting that an institu.
ton which has survived a cen.
tnry should celebrate, for it has
become an essential part Of our
everyday life, and whether we
know ii or not, we could not very
well get along without it. 1t is
proposed to tell you i'll this series
(which will run throughout the
year) something about the prac
tical side Of the bank, what il
does for the individual, the com,
munity and the nation. You may
think that when you hand in your
money, and get a bank book IN
return, that the matter is ended
but the wheels have just begun te
move, and they grind a gris'
which benefits you and the com
munity more than you may know
To single out the savings bank
for special attention would be |
very worthy compliment to very
worthy institution, but would dc
an injustice to other banks, man,
of which perform, in certain
| sense. the same functions for tn,
individual and serve the commun
ity just as effectively as does th'
savings bank, although it may b.
in different way.

is bank, in that it performs Ger

Saving at the Spigot and
wasting at the Bunghole

There is an economy that saves
at the spigot and wastes att the
bunghole. To practice economy
in little things and forget it in
the larger ones is no economy at
all. To walk mile i'm order to
save five cents ear fare may not
be good policy, for the time may
be worth many times the saving.
1t has been figured out that it
does not pay carpenter to stoop
down to pick up nail, for the
time he wastes woul buy two
nails. You often see men and
boys in the big city dashing in
front of autos, lodging trolley
cars and taking desperate chances
with their lives to save few
moments time, and then stop for
ten or fifteen minutes to watch
some gentleman in a window ad-
vertising a corn cure. Be con
sistent!
1t never pays to buy something
simply because it is cheap. If you
do not need it, it is dear at any
price. The woman who is eager
for bargains and buys simply be,
cause she cannot resist the temp.
tation to get a bargain has swim.

in getting the maximum return
for the money spent.

AITORENY ERWIN IS
FATHER DIES.

X. M. Erwin, one of Sandstone IS
old soldier residents, died at the
home of his son here Saturday
afternoon, after short illness of
pneumonia.
The deceased was born at Reyn-
oldsburg, Ohio, February &c,
1889. On September 2, 1851, he
enlisted in the 46th Ohio infantry
and took part in the battles of
Shiloh, the seige of Vicksburgh
and other minor engagements.
After two years of service, he
was honorably discharged on ac-
count of sickness which he con-
tracted while in the army and
from which he never fully re-
covered.
In 1881 he married Maizena,
Cole at Birmingham, Iowa, and
soon after they moved to Manka-
to where they resided and he fol-
lowed the occupation Of a stone
cutter up to the time of the death
Of his wife which occurred in
February, 1908. About three
years ago he came to Sandstone
to make his home with his son,
William, who il county attorney
in this county. For the past few
months he aged quite rapidly and
a short time ago contracted cold
which developed into pneumonia
which caused his death.
He is survived by two sons,
William Of this place, and Robert
c., a mail clerk at st. Paul, both
Of whom were with him during
his last hours.
Mr.. Erwin was very pleasant
and congenial old gentleman who
made fast friends with all who
knew him, and his passing makes
one less in the ranks of the Grand
Old Army of the Republic.
Funeral services were held at
the Presbyterian church Tuesday
afternoon. Rev. Easily officiating,
and the remains were accom-
panied by his sons and Mrs. VIM.
Erwin to Mankato where they
were laid to rest by the side of
his wife. Pine County Courier.

1t is we'll at the beginning OF

When you open account with a

them cheap, and her economical
soul was exultant; but when she
found she had fewer cans than
II she had bought sound fruit, and
the scraps We're useless for peach
butter and in her anxiety to
get them canned before they
spoiled she worked herself sick
and let the syrup boil until it
erystalized. she realized that
there are some bargains that are
not bargains.
When a wave of economy
strikes the household, the wife
generally decides to save on the
table. which is all very well, pro-
vided she knows how. But to buy
cheap meats aud stale vegetables
may be the poorest sort of econ
cmv.
There are some cuts of beef as
nourishing as porterhouse at one
third less the cost; but to buy
bone and gristle for beef is to
deceive yourself. If the family
east no fat, buy lean cuts. Pork
chops can be had with practically
no fat or bone at all. These are
the loin chops. Rump roast is all
meat and no bone and goes long
way because there is no waste. In
the matter of clothing costly econ
omy can be practiced. Two pairs
of two dollar shoes will not last
half as long as one pair OF four
dollar ones. Gingham costs more
than calico. but it wears longer
and looks better. 1t costs Just as
much to make dress Of calico as
of gingham and the only differ
ence is the small saving in mater
ial cost. which is balanced by
the short wear. A remnant is not
cheap unless you can use it.

own laundry. but if she breaks he,
health it is costly washing. You
can save money by doing without
eating-at least cutting it down
to stop the craving for food. You
can eat candy Just before dinner
and not want soup and meat; but

in doing without some things

without the necessities of life.

TOM LAWSON LAUGHS
 AT INVESTIGATION BY
 CONGRESS or HIS COUP

In all seriousness he says that many members of the senate and house were guilty if he and other stock gamblers are guilty. There is no law against finding out if one can in advance what the government is go- ing to do in any public matter an6 betting ol the exchange on the re- suits of such action. This has been favorite method since the days of Clevelal d, says Lawson. for the high officials of the government to feather their own nest.
 The attitude of the frenzieG f1nan- cier is one of cool unconcern and de- fiance. It is believed from his actions and words that Lawson played the market in the recent bear panic on ,ehaI of highly placed Washington officials as well as for himself and his coterie of gamblers.

SNAKE RIVER HARBOR PROJECT
 FAVORABLY REPORTED BY ENGINEERS
 AND CITY ENDORSEMENT ASKED

President Polet of the chamber of commerce has received a telegram from Delegate Wickersham whi :h conveys the news that the people of Nome and Seward peninsula are in a fair way to have one of their fo1dest hopes come true.
 The Snake river harbor project seems destined to be transformed from a rosy dream into q successful real. ity. It Is extremely probable that all small vessels in the coastwtse trade will after a while have safe harbor in which they may load and unload regardless of wind and wave.
 But let the telegram speak for it self. Here 1t Is: Washington, Dec. 2S. A. Polet, president chamber of con- merce, Nome, Alaska, On December 20th the board of engineers in charge of rivers and harbors adopted a reDor: recommending the improvement of Snake river at Nome by dredging the channel to a depth of eight feet, which will be protected by jetties, with in- side basin of the same depth. The estimated cost will be ninety five thou sand dollars It Is estimated that the cost of maintenance for the first year will be twelve thousand five hundred
The Nome daily nugget., 1916-12-29

In order that Wickersham may not be delayed in his efforts to secure the adoption of favorable report by the chief engineer and an appropriation by congress, President Polet has con- ferred with Mayor Moller on the sub ject with the result that a special session of the city council has been called for tonight to accept the re- sponsiblity imposed on the city by the report. As the city has already offered the amount of twenty five hundred dollars the action tonight would seem to be necessary only as a further pledge.
 The benefits which will accrue to Nome from the Snake river harbor

 SEATTLE. Dec. 29.-Danger of a gl,qt railway strike looms large again because of the failure of railroad man agers to put the Atkinson law into effect before It's constitutionality is tested by the supreme court.
 Labor unionists are strong in their insistence that the law should go into effo ct pending the decision of the high court. In this they are backed by a large body of public opinion whi-a fails to see why the railroads should enjoy practical immunity from he law by reason of legel procedure and subterfuge.

 LONDON, Dec. 29.-It has been of :. flcially announced that an additional section of the Somme line has been taken over by the British forces.
 This significant move leads to the belief that the French forces thus ~e- leased will be employed in hug attack somewhere on the western frt ut.
 As the British now have control of practically the whole Somme front II is surmsed that the French soldiers villbe used on the Verdun front though this Is pure surmise.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-Thomas w. Lawson laughed loud and long when asked what he thinks Of the threaten ed congressional Investigation of the advance information obtained by him and his crowd of the Wilson note and the Lansing interview.
 He acknowledges that the syndicate whose money he gambled with made millions of dollars. How much they made he says is no ones business and he ridicules the idea of any effort be- ing made by congress to find how much they made and how they got their tip.
 He declares cynically that should congress investigate the matter there would be mighty few members pres ent at the session because so many of them had hand in the pie.
