MONEY HOLDS UP WELL
Abilene Banks Make q Fine Showing
For Year End

The official statements OF the four
Abilene banks for the date OF Dec
ember 81 1921, are published to-
day and make a particularly fine
showing for this city. The deposits
total S1,943, 261.57 with cash and
sight exchange Of s5s3,242,47 which
gives a strong standing for the In
stitutions. Each has a good position
and one that is particularly creditaoie
considering the business slow up OF
the last half of the year. One year
ago the total deposits were S2,Ool,-
s47.41, making a decrease for the
year of SOS, ,5S5.s4. When it is re-
membered that in the ordinary course
of business the deposits Of the four
banks eften fiuctuate more than
800. 900 in a single day 1t is re-
markable demonstration OF the sta
biiity Of this section Of the west.
Few towns Of the state can make SO
good q bank showing.

A TIMELY SUGGESTION

This is the season of the year when
the prudent and careful housewife
replenishes her supply of Chamber
laln's Cough Remedy. 1t is almost
certain to be needed before the
winter is over and results are much
more prompt and satisfactory when
1t is Kept at hand and given as soon
as the first indication of a cold ap-
pears and before it has become set
TIED IN the system. There is no
danger in giving it to children as it
contains no opium or other hermful
drug. ADV.

81 The u. s. Department Of Agri-

traordinary steps are being taken
to enlarge the scientific research
work or to increase funds for; find
ing better preventative - measures
against the weevil. The swivel

having the boil weevil investiga-
tons in charge appears their fail
ure to solve the problem by the
statement that. "If the boil wesvil
was on western farms instead. Of in
the South. the insects would have
been destroyed long ago .'}s
This view of the. situation is not
only reflection upon the intelli-
gence and energies Of the cotton
growers Of the South, but it shows
the inability OF such department
officials to solve the problems
placed In their hands. What Is
needed at this time is less criticism
of the farmers and advice as ito
what they should do. There should
be the most wholehearted encour-
agement anu cooperation on the
part of the Government and gov
ernment officials to SO shape our
national legislation and SO aid the
producers as that they will be
helped to recover from the i'm
mense losses they have suffered
and thereby rebuild the great basic
industry Of this Nation to highest
productive capacity and permanent

HONEY PHILOPHY FOR 1922

An evening coat and white neck
tie don't of themselves make man
civilized any more than they make
him gentleman. a pair of over
alls and a battered hat quite often
cover a man while he is doing some
thing for civilization far more i'm
portant than the average man wear
ing an evening coat and white
neck-tie can possibly perform in that
rig. The young scientist who han
dies plow in such manner that the
soil will be just right for crop of
corn greater than the average, has
no cause to envy gents in fashion
plate clothing.
