SAVING STARTED
BANK PRESIDENT
How Late G. Simmons Gave
III. l.. BullamOre First
Finance Lesson.
NOW HEADS NEW BANK

The story of how Henry L. Bulla-
more, now head of the new Exchange
National bank, which opened for BUSH
ness today, got his first lesson in
'busy money" from the late Gilbert
Simmons, was told by an old friend to-
day.
1t was some so years ago that Mr..
Bullamore, then a farmer boy, living
out on farm near Paris, first began
making small deposits in the savings
bank. Month after month he continu-
ed to pile up his earnings until he
had quite a sizeable sum stored away
on deposit.
But it remained for the late Gilbert
Simmons to teach him that invested
money will work harder for its owner
than deposited money. Attracted by
the lads Industrious and saving habits,
Mr. Simmons, then cashier of the bank
where the boy did business, called him
in one day and urged him to draw the
funds he had on deposit and invest
them in a farm loan which was needed
in the settlement of a large estate and
which he considered gilt edge propo-
sition.
Makes First Loan.
His savings, however, were not suffi-
cient to swing the deal, and it was
then that Mr.. Simmons informed him
that the bank would loan him the nee
essary $1,000 with which to buy up the
paper.
He added that the lad could make
the payments on the loan as he could
earn the money 1t meant saving and
self denial, but it also meant invest
ment and the deal was closed In a
few months the bank, loan had been re-
paid and Mr.. Bullamore owned the
mortgage.
Twenty-Five years later, when he had
become a successful farmer, he looked
for a larger field to operate in. 1t was
then that he saw the possibilities Of
fered in Kenosha real estate. Selling
the farm he moved to the city and
opened little office. The business
grew and he began purchasing tracts
for subdivision, building homes and
selling them on payments to families
of moderate means. Since then he has
sold more than 1000 homes here in
Kenosha.
1t is that same farmer boy, who
learned the saving habit more than SO
years ago, who today is greeting his
host of friends at the doors of the
financial institution of which he has
been elected head.

Fortunately for Ruth. she had
been under an overhanging shelf of
solid rock when the explosion
came and the dirt closed in around
her, making exit impossible, but
breathing possible until rescue
came. Black Harper staid long
enough to see that Ruth was safe
and then he and his men beat =
hasty retreat, leaving Ruth alone
with Bruce.
Ruth was thoroughly disheart-
ened and discouraged. With the
lava pool gone Fuelite could never
be manufactured to give relief TO
the poor. All their efforts had been
IN vain. Ruth leaned her pretty
head against Bruce's shoulder.
That's the finish, Brucel" she
said. They're TOD powerful a COM

In the midst of comforting her
Bruces glance took in a peculiar

thrown up by the explosion. I'm
noticed by Ruth, he examined il
and a hopeful light leapt into his
eyes. He kept his thoughts from

cowboys rode up he sent Ruth
home IN their care, saying he would
come later.

plosion had thrown up. He took

During the weeks that followed
Ruth was somewhat puzzled by
Bruce's strange behaviour. She
seldom saw him and when she did
he had an air about him of sup
pressed excitement that neither
questions, teasing nor pouting
could get him to explain.
However, one day all thought of
Bruce's mystery came to an abrupt
end. A telegram brought ominous
news of her father, who had been
in San Francisco for several weeks
attending to various business matt
tiers. The telegram read.

While Ruth was occupied with
her sad duty, the Olympus Coal
Company was planning new at
tack this time aimed at Bruce
Burton, who, because he was manu-
featuring Fuelite, had now become
dangerous to them. Their hired de-
tectives unearthed something in
Burton's past, An old prospector
who lived near Painted Post told
them of an incident of five years
ago.
In the hills was a shack in which
lived an old hermit whom no one
seemed to know anything about.
One night when the old prospector
was riding near the shack he heard
three shots. He drew up in some
tall bushes near the hut and watched
three men come out. They wore
masks that completely hid their
faces, but one of them dropped his
and the old fellow recognized Bruce
Burton The hermit's shack was
set on fire and the hermit, never
having been seen after that, was
presumably shot and burned to
death.
With this information the coal
company's emissaries fastened to
Painted Post. In compliance with
a telegram they were met at the
train by the sheriff with warrant
for Bruce's arrest.
The day of their arrival was
Ruth's first day back from San
Francisco and her first knowledge
of Bruce's secret activities. She
was overjoyed when she saw the
plant in operation. With great
pride Bruce showed her how his
new rock crusher operated.
That old hammer will crush
th-ee hundred tons of coalaYa a
day." Bruce told her as she watch
ed the large lava rocks slide down
the chute to the hopper, where
mammoth hammers crushed them
to dust.
The realization that her fathers
wish had been fulfilled consumed
Ruth with joy. She and Bruce
would carry on to fruition his phil
anthropic plan to benefit the poor
with cheap fuel. She told Bruce
Of her fathers last words, but her
story was interrupted by the ar
rival of Black Harper, Judith, the
sheriff and posse.
The sheriff knew and liked Bruce
Burton and his duty was an I'M
pleasant one that he would have
gladly shirked.
I'm sorry, Bruce" he said.
You've got to come with me-the
warrant says you killed that old
hermit FIVE years ago"
Bruce was startled. Well did he
remember that momentous night
and, while he was innocent, he was
bound by promise and could not
clear himself
