We want to see the surrounding country prosper
Gus in production and in agricultural development
Our business life both present and future is-a
part and parcel of the agricultural life Of the commune
ity.
The past season has again, demonstrated that we
must not be a onecrop country. The necessity Of diver
sifed farming and crop rotation has been again clearly
demonstrated.
We are thoroughly convinced that our farmers
must come to forage crops, silos, mich COWS and steers
feeding to meet the requirements Of modern farming
and to keep pace with the constantly increasing price Of
farm lands.
Alfalfa is a soil builder. It enhances land values.
Corn thrives when small grains suffer. Live stock
means a better soil and bigger profits. Mixed farm
ing means freedom from worry about backward springs,
drought, hot winds and rust.
This bank is willing to stand by its belief in more
livestock and diversified farming by rendering all pos
sible assistance to farmers who wish to get out Of the
one-crop rut. We have money to loan to purchase
stock, seed and sios, and would gladly talk the matter
over with you.

AMERICAN CAMPS BOMBED.
Germans Attempt to Blow Up Billcts
 Occupied By Our Troops.

With the American Army in. France, Jan. 16, Associated Press.)-Ger- man air raideers are showing an in creased interest in the American aviation centers, especially those nearest the lines. During one of the most recent incursions the German Rirplanes descended within 200 feet of the ground, endeavoring to make sure that the several bombs which they dropped should hit their targets, which in most cases were buildings in which men were billeted. The Ger man aim, even at such close range, was poor, for no Americans were killed.
 Another German machine which flew over the position later dropped a bomb from a higher altitude at a hangar. The bomb missed its mark, hut dug a great hole in the adjoining field.
 At a certain place near by Ger man squadron descended to within 300 feet of the earth and sprayed an anti-aircraft machine gun position with d hail of bullets, but did not hit pnv of the gunners, all of whom were French.

Rome, Jan. 16.-A decree was pub lished here yesterday, signed by Car dinal de I.ai secretary Of the Con- sistorial congregation, dated Dec. 10, 1917, definitely prohibiting the so- called modern dances
 This action does not cause the same sensation as was created when the ecclesiastical authorities first object ed to these dances, as since Italy en- tered the war there has been no danc- ing here.
 The latest decision was caused by some American bishops, who ventureu to propose that the modern dances be allowed under certain restrictions, The decrec sets forth that the pro hibitions of the tango, nlaXlXe, and other modern dances are to be en- forced. ineXorab bly, ,eVen if the dances take place in the daytime or III thA first hours of the evening tor a short time, without being preceded by din- nCr.
