More Than a Bank

There are banks that are just
banks, and there are banks that
are banks plus. That is institu-
tions that are not cold business
propositions. places to deposit
your money or borrow money.
but living. throbbing. friendly
institutions; Banks that feel a
vital, personal interest in the
welfare Of every man, woman
and child. Every such institu.
tion is a vital factor in the up
building of community. Such
will be the Citizens Bnnk. of
Clovis. it is said.
In order that a bank may be
more than a bank, the head of
the institution must be more
than a banker. His spirit, ideas.
a n d ideals, must permeate.
saturate and control every move
ment of the institution. The
Citizens Bank, it is said, will
have more than a banker at its
head, in the person of Mr.. S. A.
Jones. True he Is a banker OF
more than fourteen years ex-
perience, filling the responsible
position Of Cashier OF a strong
bank in Kentucky when he was
but twenty years old. He came
to Curry county in 1907, and was
in the banking business in Mel
rose for six years. Selling his
interests there he came to Clovis
and assumed active charge of
The First National Bank in 1913.
Some months ago he sold his in
terests in the above mentioned
bank and organized the Citizens
Bank. Mr.. Jones business life
in Curry county, as well as in
Kentucky, is an open book. He
taxes a keen interest in the wei
fare OF man. He is a friend to
man, therefore the bank, of
which he is the active head, will
be a friend to man. Hence it is
a bank that is more than a bank.
The Citizens' Bank is the
Youngest banking institution in
.he country. yet one of the
strongest, as Mr.. Jones has as
'ociated about fifteen of the
eadieg citizens in Clovis and
Curry county with him. Among

How Harrisburg Women
May Keep Their Hair
Soft and Beautiful

Dandruf must be removed and the
hair roots nourished to stop falling
hair and itching scalp. 1t is unner-
essary TO have thin, brittle. matted
wispy, or faded locks. No matter how
unsightly the hair, how badly 1t is
falling, or how much dandruff, Pari-
sian Sage rubbed into the scalp is all
that is ever needed. The hair roots
are nourished and stimulated to grow
new hair. even all dandruff is removed
with one application and itching scalp
and falling hair cease; the hair ap-
pears more abundant and is always
soft, fluffy and radiant with life and
beauty.
Partisan Sage, 9 daintily perfumed
liquid, is one OF the most pleasant.
tnNgorating and refreshing hair
dressings known, vet perfectly harm
less and inexpensive. After the first
application you will be surprised and
delighted with Partisan Sage. for there
is nothing that will so help to double
your present attractiveness as luxur-
liant glorious hair, and this tonic treat
ment is all that can possibly be de-
sired.
Be sure to get Partisan Sage from
H. G. Kennedy. or at any drug or
toilet counter, as there is no other so
effective.

name on the title page and common
sense" and courtesy" as guide words
throughout the text the Twin City
Rapid Transit Company has come out
with book. 1t is addressed to the
men who operate the street cars and
those who look after the comfort of
passengers and handle the companys
finances at the point of origin.
1t is full of direction to the con-
ductors that extends beyond the point
of ordinary politeness and aims at
courtesy in high degree.
The book carries the statement that
the Twin City Rapid Transit Company
is the only street car company in the
country that will carry a passenger
who has happened to get on without
money by issuing him an envelope in
which he is expected afterward to out
five cents and send it 10 the company.
This practice is nor an obligation,
but only an accommodation on .he
part of the company. the book says.
II has been greatly abused. Never
theless, the conductors are instructed
to be governed by it. Some of the
other rules are:
Although passengers may at times
be irritable. conductors must always
be kind and considerate.
"If a woman says her child is less
than years old, conductors will take
her word for it, even though the child
looks older.
Conductors must not show annoy
ance when given large pieces of money
to change. They must always make
the change when they have il.
when cars are crowded, conductors
must politely ask passengers to move
over, or request parents with child
in a seat. for which fare has not been
paid. TO take. the child on the lap or
have il stand"
Conductors must not say Push
over rudely. This is the way they
should speak, say the rules:
"Will YOU please move over a little
and give this lady Cor gentleman) a
seat? There is plenty of room for an
other"
Such a suggestion. properly ex-
pressed, will not be taken unkindly,
the book SAYS.
Motormen are directed to stop their
cars exactly at the crosswalks.
Safety First" is the motormans
watchword and he is not supposed to
take any chances in running his car.

government of the United States has
insisted.
Throughout the months which have
elapsed since the imperial government
announced on February 4, 1915, its
Submarine policy now happily aban-
doned, the government of the United
States has been constantly guided and
restrained by motives of friendship in
its patient efforts TO bring to an
amicahle settlement the critical ques-
tions arising from hat policy.
Accepting the imperial governments
declaration OF its abandonment of the
policy which has so seriously menaced
the good relations between the two
countries. the government of the
United States will rely upon a scrupu-
lous execution henceforth of the now
altered policy of the imperial govern
ment such as will remove the principal
danger of an interruption of the good
relations existing between the United
States and Germany.
The government of the United States
feels II necessary TO state that IL takes
i, for granted that the imperial Ger
man government does not intend to
imply that the maintenance OF its
newly announced policy Is in any way
contingent upon the course or result of
diplomatic negotiations between the
government of the United States and
any other belligerent government, not
withstanding the fact that certain
passa ges in the imperial government

to he susceptible of that construction.
In order, however, to avoid any
possible misunderstanding. the gov
ernment of the United States notifies
the imperial government that il cannot
for moment entertain, much less dis
CUss. a suggestion that respect by Ger
man naval authorities for the rights of
citizens of the United States upon the
high seas should in any way or in The
slightest degree be made contingent
upon the conduct of any other govern
ment affecting the rights of neutrals
and noncombatants. Responsibility in
such matters is single, not joint: abso-
