ADVANTAGES OF PAYING BY
BANK CHECK.

1t is surprising that all farm
ers do not use a checking system
to pay farm bills. 1t is much the
best way to pay as few bills by
cash as possible and to keep little
cash around the house. The sum
estimated to cover bill for the
month can be sent to the bank
by mail, and then check against
the account. Every check is d
good means of excepting track"
of what has been spent. And the
endorsed check serves as a re-
ceipt for the payment of all bills.
As the endorsed checks come
back from the bank from time to
time they should be kept as re-
ceipts that the bills have been
paid. It is well to keep these for

Mr.. Squires said that conditions
as result of the coming of peace
make it imperative, to assure of
the loan, that tactics different
from those employed in former
campaigns be used in the coming
drive.
However, patriotism will make
a strong appeal. True, the in
vestment value of the bond will
dominate many purchases. but
now that the world has been made
safe for democracy, the people as
a whole are willing to pay the
price. America paid small price
compared to some nations; that
is. in the human element, and her
citizens are proud of each oppor-
tunitv to assert their willingness
and desire to pay the financial
obligations imposed bv the war;
Mr.. Squires tours every parish
of his territory and has kept in
close touch with the sentiment of
the people. He gives it as his pos
tive opinion that the floating Of
the coming loan win not be nearly
so difficult a matter as some were
inclined to believe. Mr.. Squires
has been identified with many war
activities. He is Field Represen-
tative for the War Savings organ
ization and did similar service for
the Louisiana State Council Of
Defense during the latter part of
the war.
