Bankers and the Farmers.
If l needed anything to convince
me of the practical wisdom of ac-
quaintance between the banker and
his customers, proof was furnished
me by. attendance two years ago at
the great banker-farmer conference in
! Chicago, where questions of mutual
interest were discussed by farmers,
agricultural experts, stockmen and
and bankers of Chicago and New
York, ~
You as bankers should aim to make
it clear, through intimate mutual
contact" that you as bankers are not
only Interested personally in the peo-
pie Of the community, but tina your
business interests are vitality linked
up with the business interests of the
community. The real banker is a bus

serves, .Es# -5@5.-
Confidence an Essential In Banking.
might add here that confidence is
more. essential to banking than to al
most any other line of business. We
may lack confidence in the prospect of
rain for our crops, but the confidence
or lack of confidence does not affect
the rains coming in any degree what
soever. We lack confidence in the
methods of bank. we stop doing
business with it, when we can. We
lack confidence in the s0undness of
bank, and fear that it will go to the
wall; spread that fear among the de-
positors and the bank is likely o 60
to the wall. h
Confidence is thing banks must
have, to do business, with any sue
cess and satisfaction. Confidence in
the, safety of the banks was put be-
yond question, in this state, his ,mOnh,

benefits the customer, benefits the
bank. The confidence of the depos-

Best Western Picture Now at Palace Theatre.

This is one of Alfred Henry Lew is celebrated Wolfeville. tales to be screened by Vitagraph, and it is just as full of action and genuine entertainment as any ever seen in Juneau. All of the delightful hu- nor of the stories has been brought out by means of subtitles, while the plot of the piece has been de- veloped with an abundance of thrills and swift action. From first to last it is a mighty good production, one that will surely prove entertaining to all that see it and provide a dandy feature. The youngsters will go wild over it.
 William Duncan, in his dual job of leading man and director, de- serves to be complimented most highly for his work in this picture.

Shoot If You Must But"

Shoot If You Must But"
 While photographing the new William Fox production "Durand of the Bad Lands," in which Dustin Farnum stars, Cameraman J. De vereau Jennings took a band of Tom MiX's genuine cowboys off into the woods for a flash of the westereners rushing to a rescue. When he found the ideal spot to take the picture, Mr. Jennings learned that it be- longed to a farmer whose home was nearby.
 So Dev went to the door, and rang the bell. His cowboy band remain ed behind in the roadway. When the farmer appeared, Dev spoke up bravely: I'm with the Fox Company and I'd like to do a little shooting in front here, if you don't mind"
 The farmer looked at him for an instant, and then gazed at the group in the road beyond. Well" he finally drawled. You can go ahead But if you kill any body you'll have to answer for it. Dev shot.

Smiling Douglas Here on Tuesday Night.

On Tuesday night smiling Doug las Fairbanks will be shown at the Coliseum theatre in Down to Earth" The Coliseum will not have show tonight on account of political meetings.
 In addition to it's other qualities extraordinary, unusual night pho tography is one of the features in this Douglas Fairbanks picture With the aid of flare lights and "a special photographic device, Cam eraman Fleming filmed a scene oi the popular actor relaxing on the ground looking up at the stars one evening, which effect has caused considerable comment around film producing centers. The Fairbanks photographer is hardly more than a boy and his exceptional work has often caused wide comment. Youth is quite characteristic of the Fair banks organization. Anita Loos the clever scenario writer, is in her twenty-first year Camera man Fleming and his staff includ- ing Harvey Thorpe, Glen MacWil- Hams and Charles Warrington are all under the voting age and va rious other important members oi the business organization are scarce ly out of their teens" The popu- lar actor on every occasion en- courages the development of youth enforcing the necessary discipline in manner entirely his own.
The Alaska daily empire., 1918-04-08

His acting is as good as usual and that means it is just about perfect. His direction is on a par with his playing. MT. Duncan has produced this feature in such a way as to make of it a picture that ranks as one of the best Westerns that have ever been filmed. It is packed full of suspense, clever tricks of camera craft and it goes along with a snap and bang that cannot fail to be noticed. The set showing the town of Wolfville is just exactly what you imagine such a place to be and all locations add to the effective way in which the story is told. Photography and lighting have been we'll taken care of.
 In addition to the star, Carol Halloway gives an excellent per formance, and although she does not appear until late in the picture, from that time on her playing is never lost sight of. Joe Ryan offers direct and pleasing contrast to his role in "The Fighting Trail, |" for in this production he appears as Smiling Jack" who wins women by his smile and good looks. Flor ence Dye is satisfactory and Hattie Buskirk registers well in the role of Mrs. Fucker.
