WHAT'S 4 CHRISTMAS CLUB,

The Christmas Club which the
Farmers & Mechanics National Bank
has just Installed is worthy Of the
attention of every man, woman and
child in our community
1t affords a systematic method for
saving money 1t is surprising how a
start with these four amounts will
count uD to nice tidy sum in SO
weeks.
You can start with 10 cents and in
crease your payment of 10 cents per
week for so weeks..- The largest pay
ment isTenly. $500 yet next Christmas
you will have $127.50.
Start with @5c-increase sc each
week next Christmas you win have
'$6375.
Then there is the Club for the little
folks and the baby. Start with &c, in
creasing the payment &c each week
and you will have, at the end of so
weeks S25.50
Start with 1c--you will have $12,75.
Or you can start with the largest de-
post and decrease your payments
each week.
Then there ares the "even amount or
fixed sum- Clubs. Start with CSC, soc,
|$10O, $500. $500, $1,000 or $4,000. De
post this same amount each week
and at the endIof so weeks, you will
have from $3.50 to 100000 Figure
this cut for yourself.
The Christmas Club is good thing
for everv one in our community, from
baby up.
All or a part of this money can be
drawn out of the bank next Christmas,
or all or part of it can remain on de-
post in the bank to start a regular
account
The. Farmers Mechanics National
Bank will be very glad to have any
one come in and receive a Christmas
Club bank book, which shows how
much is to be deposited and when and
how much the various Clubs will
amount to. -
This campaign for thrift is certainly
to be commended and the Farmers
& Mechanics National Bank is to be
congratulated for Offering such an at
tractive system to every one for saw
ing money.

v. /. TAFT IS NEW
CHIEF JUSTICE
OPPOSITION APPEARS AND ROLL
CALL WAS DEMANDED IN
SENATE.
CONFIRMED BY SENATE
His Appointment Will Come to
Him Through Press-WilI
Return at Once.

WashingtOn.-FOrm President VIII
liam Howard Taft was nominated by
President Harding to be Chief Justice
of the United States supreme court,
and his nomination has been confirmed
by the senate in executive session.
The nomination was not confirmed
without opposition, however, and a
roll call was demanded. The Opposi-
ton was understood to have been
voiced by Senators BOrah, of Idaho;
Johnson, California, and LaFOllette, of
Wisconsin, all republicans, who were
said to have criticised Mr.. Tafts rec.
ord and his nomination.
On the roll coll, however, only four
votes were cast against confirmation.
These were by Senators Borah, John.
son and LaFollette, and Senator Wat.
son, democrat, Georgia. The final vote
was so to 4. An agreement was reach
ed to make public the roll call.
Mr.. Taft has not been appraised Of
his appointment by the president, it
was stated at the White House, and
the first news he is expected to have
of it, it was added, will come from
the press. The former president is
now in Montreal aiding in a railway
arbitration for the Canadian govern
ment and is expected to return to the
United States to familiarize himself
with the work of the country.
High administration officials en-
phasized the former president was the
one outstanding figure among those
who might have been considered for
the place.
The senate's doors were closed for
discussion of the nomination after
suggestions that Mr.. Taft be con-
firmed in open executive" session, be.
cause he is a former president, had
been rejected by his opponents.
Senators BOrah and johnson were
fighting on the floor in opposition to
Mr.. Taft, while he was defended BY
about dozen senators, including Knox
