THE MAN BEHIND THE FUN

That master producer comedian
and funmaker Charles E. Gano for
many years associated with j. A.
Coburn's Minstrels is coming again
with the big show on Thursday, Oct.
2, at the Tabb Theater with an all
new production of the latest and
best in minstrelsy. The new scenic
opening Farewell America repre-
senting the Allied Naval Clubs good
bye to our boys coming home is one
of the most interesting and beauti-
full stage pictures ever presented by
this company and embraces a num-
Der of novelty features in up to the
minute amusement. Mr.. Gano is
one of the most unassuming and I'M
affected of all the minstrel stars but
his reputation and ability is second
to none and the announcement of his
appearance with this well known
company is guarantee of an ex-
cellent performance under his di-
rectiOn. Manager Coburn has sur
rounded him with an entire new per-
sonnet and is said to surpass all for
mer efforts in every detail. With
Coburn and Gano as the men behind
the fun all lovers of good old time
minstrelsy, fine music, splendid sing
ing and clean comedy reqmre no
further guarantee of a good show
and their moneys worth. 1t is the
men and the show you know.

THE BANKER KNOWS

Unquestionably the men who guide
the destinies of our banking insti-
tutions should be conceded to be
among the best judges of securities
that should be listed among the bank
assets.
One of the strong and well man
aged banks in Missouri is, the Nat
ional Bank of Unionville, within a
few miles of the Iowa border. Its
statement published in August,
shows its standing. The bank has
capital of $4,000, with loans and
over drafts reaching $210,106.10.
Among the assets are listed Lib
erty Bonds and War Savings Stamps
to the value of $32, 543.23.
Thus the heads Of this successful
bank show by their example that
they consider the u. S. Government
securities a splendid investment.
They know that the unintiated
should know from their lead that the
War Savings Stamps and Treasury
Savings Certificates, the only form
of U. S. Securities now obtainable
direct from the Government, how
that the last Liberty Bond Campaign
is over, are the best investments the
individual can find.

DEMOCRATIC ROAD LAWS

1t was Democratic legislation that
brought to fulfllment the national
demand for good roads. The success
of that legislation in realizing the
wishes of the country is exemplified
by statistics covering the period from
1913, the beginning of President
Wilson's first term, to September l,
1919. In the six years there were
constructed more than $4,000 miles
of almost perfect highways.
But for the assistance given by
the Federal Government, the several
States would have been unable or
unwilling to bear the whole cost of
these improvements. But for Demo-
cratic laws no Federal aid would
have been Forthcoming. The Govern
ment is now matching with funds
from the Federal Treasury every
dollar that any of the States devotes
to the building of its roads. In adj
dition to the millions that have been
voted for this purpose by Democrat
ic Congresses, it is proposed to APP
propriate $4OO,OOO,OOO to continue
the work after 1921. Senator Shop
pard, a Democrat, is the author Of

BURLEY YIELD

The Burley tobacco crop for 1919
is estimated at 56,OOO,OOO pounds.
1t is said the average yield will fall
at least % per cent below last year
but the increased acreage will make
up this loss. 1t is estimated that
about 40 per cent Of the crop has
been cut and that 60 per cent will
be housed within the next two weeks.
The warehouses here will be ready
for, the sales to begin about the LIST
of December.
