Held to All Superstitions.

When the first missionaries visited
Marsovan, Turkey, the old Armenian
church members were Christians in lit
tie more than name. Their beliefs
were a mixture of superstitions with
suggestion of a Christian origin.
They feared the evil eye, and wore
charms TO break its power. They put
branches of thorny plant over their
chimneys in the form of cross to
prevent witches from coming down
and strangling their little children.
They visited the graves of saints and
offered prayers for relief from sick
ness, tying rag on a bush nearby
with the hope of returning home leav-
ing their disease tied to the holy spot.

THE FIRST MA
TIONAL BANK
(By N. o. Shanks)

Banking has assumed new func-
tons in recent years. Instead of ex-
listing for the sole purpose of lend
ing money, the modern bank is COM
ing more and more to function as the
clearing house of business. With this
new function the banker is becoming
not only the agent but the adviser
and the promoter of what promises to
contra, the deterrent influence when
financial breakers ahead can be de-
tected by the experienced eye.
Finance, like law and medicine, is
a special field In each field that
which may appear to be perfectly
reasonable, indeed inevitable, may
after all be highly deceptive, and
however capable and competent the
farmer may be in the conduct of
farming he needs advice as to invest
ments. This advice the First Ma
tional bank thru its officers ripe with
experience in this section, is ready to
give him.
1t has always been the policy of
this bank for the officers to manifest
a friendly personal interest in the
welfare of its depositors; it has al
ways been willing and able to help.
They do more than merely wish for
the success of their customers-they
work for their success, because they
realize that the interests of the bank
are closely bound with the welfare of
its customers.
When you become a customer of
the First National Bank, the officers
are prepared to give you constant,
consistent and personal attention.
You are sure of their loyalty to your
interests and their experienced advise
when you need advise. Better than
that you can depend on the charac-
ter of the board of directors back of
the officials. Their resoucefulness
many times-and as many times
proven.
To get beneath the surface-to
patrons individual needs-to extend
the maximum assistance-that's the
aim of the bank The bank considers
courtesy its first obligation. Here you
will find every facility and conven-
fence for the prompt and efficient
transaction of your banking business
and the bank invites its customers
to consult them freely on financial
matters.
The officers behind this bank be-
lieve in the country and its people,
who are bringing it to devel opment.
They have been an instrumental de-
veloper They are men who believe
in developing every possible resource
in this section knowing there are
many; they believe in the fostering
of immigration and to this end are
always first to connect up with the
forces for real progress and develop
ment.
1t is not the intention of the arti-
Gle to exploit the personal features
of the bank; tht men and officers are
too well known, and to the outsider
who reads this article they would be
little the wiser. To know and appre-
ciate the men behind this financial
institution one must know them per-
sonally, know how they helped, are
helping in the development of this
southwest country.
