TALKS ON BANKING
LET THE BANK MAN HELP YOU
(American Bankers Associationl

LET THE BANK MAN HELP YOU
In practically every bank there is a
man whose face is as familiar to the
public as the village doctor, the min
lister, or the postmaster. He has been
with the bank, it may be, since he was
a boy, grew up with it, and will prob
ably die in it's service. He is usually
so regular in his habits that you can
set your watch by him. He waits on
the window, interviews the borrowers,
makes out reports, hears the tales of
distress, offers advice and straightens
out tangled families and financial af-
fairs. He has well been termed the
banks Department of Mercy"
You may sometimes call him by his
first name, and he will probably call
you by yours. He is often the bank,
and you know the bank as "Mr. So
and Sos bank" You have every con-
fidence in him because you have
known him SO long. He is worthy of
that confidence.
This man is conservative. It is
his business to keep the bank safe.
In a great many cases he passes on
loans, buys the securities, and has the
general management of the bank, re-
porting to the board, to whom he is
responsible. You can well afford to
take your problems to him, for he can
help you. He has handled millions for
the bank, it may be, without losing a
dollar. He can give you good advice.
Whenever you contemplate buying a
piece of real estate, ask his opinion
he knows values in your town. If you
thing of buying a bond, or some stock,
ask him to guide you, for it may be he
is a bond expert -some bank men are.
If you have proposition that looks
''rosy" to you, seek him out and ask
if he would take it for the bank. He
will probably say no and you can at
ford to do likewise. When troubles
come, consult him.
He is the executive and clerical
head of the bank. Every detail passes
under his eye. He is jealous OF his
bank and its reputation. 1t is his life
work. He is fairly well paid, sure Of
his Job, gives it his best attention and
stands in the role Of servant to whom
soever would use his good Offices with
out pay and hope Of reward. He Is
gentleman Of honor, Of fine distinc-
tions, high ethical standards, clean life
and helpful inclinations. You do well
to know him, and cultivate his friend
ship. He can help you in many ways.

MORE MONEY IN EGGS
THAN IN POULTRY

Eggs for market should be the most
important source Of income from the
farm flock, according to M. G. Kilpat-
rick Of the College Of Agriculture.
There is a steadily increasing demand
for fresh eggs Of good quality at profit
able prices. In addition. eggs are
produced with less labor than other
poultry products and are more con-
viently marketed.
Poultry for market should be the
second source of income. Under pres
ent conditions, the larger part Of the
poultry met produced on most Ohio
farms is by-product produced and
sold with little regard to the cost Ot
production. The poultryman should
plan his work so that while producing
eggs fo rmarket, he may obtain con.
siderable revenue from the sale q
broilers during June and July, fowls
during September and October and ca
pons from January to April.

PURCHASES COAL LANDS
VALUED AT $10O,00

The Ohio Companies Of Wadsworth
have purchased over $100, 900 worth of
coal lands in Belmont county, and
have Incorporated under the name of
the Oco Coal Co. Almost the entire
output Of the mines will be used by
the Ohio plants of Wadsworth and at
Rittman. The recent coal famine
which threatened to cause a shutdown
in some Of the plants is thought to be
the reason for the purchase.

GRANGERBURG

Miss Harriet Moon was born ii
Granger, Medina county, July 5, 1898
She was united in marriage to Rich
man Bissell about 56 years ago. There
was born to this union one daughter
Mrs. Richie Rettig of Peoria, Ill. With
the exception of five years she spent
her entire life in Medina county. Two
of these years were spent in Summit
county. Three years were spent
with her daughter and granddaughter
Mr.. and Mrs. Bragg of Illinois. She
died Saturday morning, July Il. She
was woman, much beloved and res
pected by those who knew her best.
especially her loved ones, Mrs. Retdg
and Mr.. and Mrs. Bragg, with whom
she made her home for the last three
years. Mr.. and Mrs. Bragg were un-
able to attend the funeral because OF
illness in the home. Mrs. Bissel at
the time of her death was 70 years,
16 days old. She united with the
Disciple church in Granger in early
youth and retained her membership
there. We do not mourn her death
as those who have no hope, but she
with us have hope in Him who has
brought life and Immortality to those
who accept the message of the Cos
pei. And our loss is her gain. Her
life has simply set to rise in the day
of Gods glory.

THEIR MARRIED LIFE"

Il thought 1t was awful, too, when
| first saw it," the girl confessed,
But I'm used to it now. and 1 don't
mind,
They reached the top of the second
flight now and turned to the front of
the house. Viva raped with the
old-fashioned knocker and the door
was flung open Immediately by tall,
slight man with the most tensely
eager face Helen had ever seen. AS
Frances said, he wore tortoise-shell
glasses, and involuntariiy Helen
glanced at his features, which were
not handsome, with the exception
of his mouth. The dominant char
acteristic about him was the fact
that he was so alive and, Helen
thought delightedly, exactly the kind
of a man she would have chosen for
Viva.
Helen turned from the introduc-
tion to an inspection of the place.
1t had an immense skylight across
| the front of it and the walls were
covered with pastel drawings. Cor
geously colored stuffs were draped
over model-stand, and easels of all
kinds stood against the walls or were
drawn partly out into the room, with
. half-finished pictures on them. The
loom was delightfully."- untidy in a
| picturesque kind of a way and Viva,
who seemed perfectly at home, was
already beginning to get tea ready
on little wicker table. Helen
dropped down on a couch near by
and turned to the man. who had sat
down with her.
Il believe we have some friends
in common, Mrs. Curtis" he said
in his slow, delightful way of talk
ing. Jack Parmelee?"
"Oh, do you know Anne and
Jack? l haven't seen them for ever
so long"
They're pretty busy" the man re-
| turned. Eyes, I know Jack very
well; he and l went to school togeth-
er in Chicago"
Helen liked the way he talked,
and the way his long nervous fin
| gers handled the drawings he show
| ed to her. She liked his face and
| there was something genuine about
| him that made her like the man
himself. Even his name was sin
| gular, Hale Leonard. Somehow 1t
suited him perfectly.
The tea was delightfully."- informal
and afterward Helen learned just
how artists really lived. The big
! studio was where they ate and work
| ed, but there was kitchen of a
sort across the hall, and a couple of
tiny rooms just big enough for a
couch. 1t was all quite primitive,
but very interesting. Helen wonder
ed IL Viva would be willing to live
| that way, too, and smiled unbe-
| lievingly, only to change her opinion
and wonder if the girl wouldn't do
anything willingly as she caught the
look on Viva's face when she turned
| back to listen to something the man
was saying. Neither Viva nor her
artist mentioned the fact that any
engagement existed. so Helen imag-
| ined that It was still indefinite. OF
course they was a possibility that he
would be drafted, too, but Helen
was certain of one thing, and that
was that she most decidedly ap-
| proved Viva's choice.
(The next in this delightful series
will appear on this page soon.)
