Are Reflected into Pm-

Washington, June 14.-Bsfore .
great audience assembled here today
for . Flag Day celebration. Presi-
dent Wilson declared anew the aims
and purposes of the United States
in entering the world war.
Standing in the shadow Of the
great monument erected to the ever
lasting memory Of George Washing
ton, the President told Thousands
gathered on the grassy slopes about
him that the United States had en-
tered the war not alone to keep the
world safe for democracy, but also
because the "extraordinary insults
and aggregations Of the imperial Ger
man government left Us no choice
but to take up arms in defense Of
our rights as q free people and Of
our honor as sovereign govern
ment."
The Stars and tripes are going to
strange land, the President said,
for purpose as OLD as American
traditions. ::
'For us there is but one choice"
said the President. 1--WE have made
it. Woe be to the man or group Of
men that seeks to stand in our way
in this day Of high resolution, when
every principle we hold dearest is to
be vindicated and made secure for
the salvation of nations. We are
ready to plead at the bar of history,
and our flag shall wear new lus-
ter. Once more we shall make good
with our lives and fortunes the great
faith to which we were born, and s
new glory shall shine in the face Of
our people"

Preparedness .

Preparedness is a topic of national Importance, no
matter what side of the question you may take. Is the
nation properly prepared? 1t is a grave question.
But that is a question for the nation to answer.
There is one question near home, the matter of inan-
cial preparedness of the individual against the rainy
day of adversely that may come. Are you financially
prepared to meet that sickness which may come to YOU
or your family? Are you prepared for the time when
there may be loss of employment, or loss by fire, flood,
or Encouragement Are you prepared for the old age
that's sure to come? These are serious. vital questions
to every one of us. If you are not prepared, resolve to
open a savings account at our bank today and thus
make the first step toward your own preparedness.
