Many times young men have
been to the bank for the purpose
of obtaining a loan of money.
They have gone away empty hand
ed and disappointed. Why !
These aame men had, probably,
much in their favor, good father
and mother, social standing and
vet the bank refused their request.
This is the reason why they failed:
When money goes from banks
door man goes with it. Some
say bankers are hard headed.
That they look at everything from
practical, sensible standpoint.
There is safety nj only such a
course, and few men ever come to
a bank for loan except those be-
hind the counter know them thru
andthru. This, then is the great in
fiuence which will avail you and
me when we seek favors of banking
firms. Back of all personal ap
pearance, prestige ard their like
must be integrity. Money has q
way of taking wings to itself and
may fly away to harm and not
good. Or it may be expended So
it will enrich minds more beautl-
fut and characters finer. 1t may
help the world or hinder everyone
who touches it. So when we ap-
proach our banker he thinks;
What will he do with the mo-
ney?" If we are men and can be
trusted we usually get help when
we need it.

CREATING INTEREST
Big Change in Lineup Since Last W9eh
j. E. Locke UnOppOsed for Mayor,
Cattle Law the Issue.

]
The city primary election is in prot
9ress as we go to press with every
evidence that large vote will be
polled. The big issue in the election
is the cattle law, which is beiiE SUBJ
mitted at this time for the ratification
or rejection of law passed to keep
cattle, horses and mules up at night
Since last week there has been a
shift in the lineup for city Offices. O.
Kolb, who had been placed on the
ticket for mayor, declined to run, and
J. E. Locke was placed on the ticket
without opposition For recorder the
names appearing on the ticket are w
W. Bishop, present recorder and ]. T
Travis. Eight names appear on the
ticket for aldermen, from which five
will be selected by the voters. The
candidates are, Grover Cobb H. B
Wilson, A. P. Steel, S. J. Meyer, Cyrus
Watkins, w. D. Waldrop, Claud Henry

AGAIN, WHAT DID WILSON SAY!
Story That He Talked Of Declining q
Third Term is Denied.

Washington, March lin regard to
published reports that President Will
son told Democratic committeeman
who lunched with him yesterday that
he would rot accept nomination for
a third term, it was said today at
the White House that the subject of
President Wilson again being a. candi-
date was not mentioned It was said
that the president merely remarked to
his guests that he yearned to get back
to writing, and that he had in contem-
plation the compiling of history.
Some of those who attended the
luncheon said today they gained the
impression that the president meant
he would retire to private life at the
end of his term
1t also was said that the president
evinced deep feeling against oppo-
nents of the League of Nations. He
was said to have expressed the view
that the league should be an Ameri-
can and not a partisan issue, but that
If the Republican state committees
should reject proposal to endorse
the league, the Democratic state COM
mittees would be free to act inde-
pendently.

ROAD BILLS NUMEROUS
Road Bills are So Numerous That II
Is Hard to Keep Track of
Many OF Them.

Little Rock March 4.-Speaking of
road bills:N The fever of good roads
legislation was never so intense as it
is right now. The projects are SC
numerous that it is difficult to keep UP
With them. No longer is it matter
cf thousands of dollars, but millions
OF dollars is now involved in the var
iors projects. Pulaski county alone
has q prcject that will mean the ex>
penditure Of about thirty million dol
lars chats lots of money, but see
what fine roads it will build Proba-
bly, one hundred million dollars is not
too nigh an estimate for the cost of
the various projects that are undeH
consideration. Under act of Congress,
millions of dollars will come into the
state from the Federal government to
assist in the building of the roads If
all the schemes are realized, the next
most complete and perfect system of
improved modern highway in the un-
ion. It is the elimination of a long
period of educative influence The
Good Roads convention and associa-
tion of other days are being crystaliz-
ed into the actual highway of today
It is one class of local legislation that
is not mis-directed, if it is necessary
to adopt this method OF securing that
which. might be provided for in a gen
eral law.
