CHARLES h CLARK DIES
AT OSHKOSH
Stricken With Heart Trouble He
Passed Away in His Home Upon
Return From Church Meeting.

Chas. R. Clark, pioneer lumber
man, died Wednesday evening at his
home at Oshkosh. The news of his
death was received here by telephone
the same evening an9 made known to
relatives and frie nds.
Mr.. Clark attended a meeting at
the Episcopal church earlier in the
evening. He became i'll and re-
turned to his home, death resulting
from heart trouble soon after.
The deceased was prominently
identified with the pioneer days of
Hurley and vicinity, being interested
in the lumber business. In partner
ship with his father-in-law, the late
A. NJ. Kimball, he helped to conduct
the lumber yard now owned by
Morgan Company. Under the firm
name Of KimbalI and Clark the
lumber yard was conducted for many
years. In January, 1913, it was
sold to Morgan Company. The
firm also owned and conducted saw
mill at Kimball and had large timber
holdings. After the timber had
been cut off land owned by the
company at KimbaIl its attention was
turned to farming, with the result
that one of the finest farms in the
county was developed.
OF late years Mr. Clark lived at
Oshkosh but made frequent visits to
Hurley and usually spent the summer
months on the farm at Kimball,
which was operated for number of
years by his son, Kimball Clark, the
only surviving member Of the family,
who also resides at Oshkosh. Mrs.
Clark died in 1922. Mr. Clark was
70 years old last November. He was
thirty-second degree Mason and
held membership in the Hurley
Masonic lodge.
The funeral will be held at
Oshkosh today, according to present
plans. DR.. and Mrs. F. G.. Van
Stratum, Louis Voigt and R. Paul
of this city left last night to attend
the funeral.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. ". STRAUS
'esident q American Society for Thrift

1t is an encouraging sign of right
thinking that such widespread
popular attention is being given just
now to the anniversary of the birth
of Benjamin Franklin.
AS the years 20 by more and more
Thoughtful attention is being paid TO
this superman of colonial days, more
ardent homage is paid TO his memory
and a deeper understanding is gained
of the truths he taught.
Among the great men of history
Franklin stands out as the eternal
personfication of that group of
homely virtues of which thrift is the
center. Any nation which attains a
general consciousness of the truths
of his philosophy will prosper be-
cause of the flOurishing home life
and clean morals of its citizens.
The Franklin philosophy is moth
ing more than the most simple logic,
yet in this fact there is a lesson for
all of US. In this modern life of
ours, with the practical humiliation
of distance and with every day
bringing new triumphs of science,
we are becoming more complex.
But the truths of life are simple.
Humanity never can get away from
fundamentals The plain axioms of
Poor Richard will live through the
ages.
Our standards of living viii con-
tinue to progress. Fifty years from
now life will be quite different from
what it is today insofar as life's
convenienees, comforts and advant-
ages go. But the upbuilding effect
of the homely virtues remain as
unchanged as the mountains or the
sea.
Among the many inspiring signs of
the time no other is more indicative
of a sound public attitude than the
widespread attention now being
given in the United States to the
anniversary of the birth of Benjamin
Franklin.

What's everybody's business is
nobody's business.
That has been the rule of life ever
since the well known Heck was a
pup
And as long as everybody pays no
attention to nobody's business and
nobody pays attention to everybody's
business, there will continue to be
high tax rates, inefficiency in
government and all of the lesser at
tendant evils.
The fellow who kicks the loudest
about the way things are being run
is always the last to volunteer TO
help, or even offer constructive
suggestion.
Then there is the type of citizen
who is so engrossed with his own
affairs-whieh consists of the gentle
art of making money-that he never
has time to think of his own COM
munity or the welfare of others.
Other types we see daily, engaged
in this or that hobby, wholly oblivious
to what is going 90 about them.
They never give thought to the
betterment of things about them.
The beginning Of the new year is
a time for being optimistic. If
there is any trace of pessimism left
in our systems, we should throw it
off before stepping on the 1924
platform.
While we are turning over our new
leaves, we should all resolve to make
the rev year better by devoting a
littleless time to our own affairs and
little more in the service of others.
The public good deserves con-
sideration from every individual.
Let's make a resolution to reserve a
little time for that duty during the
new year and never refuse when we
are called upon to do something that
we don't have to do, but which will
be for the betterment of the whole
community.-Ex.

Iron Exchange Bank Had a
Good Year.

Unusual prosperity has marked
the past year in the record of the
Iron Exchange Bank, according to F..
S. Hagen, cashier. A dividend of
20es on its earnings has been declar-
ed for the past twelve months, 10
per cent on July LIST and 10 per cent
on January LIST.
Not alone in the matter of profits,
total resources and habiltiest, has
the bank enjoyed success, but also in
the increased number of satisfied
customers, on which the bank prides
itself.
Though the bank is treating the
community justly in the matter of
interest on loans and interest paid
on deposits, yet this remarkable
showing bespeaks good management
on the part of those in charge of the
banks affairs
The published statement in this
issue reveals the present strong
position of the Iron Exchange Bank,
the pioneer bank of the range,
particularly as to cash on hand and
in banks termed cash reservel. also
U. S. and other bonds of the
choicest type, which can be treated
as cash also. Another token Of
proper management is the very
limited amount Of overdrafts and no
borrowed money, (bills payable).
The above is a demonstration of
80 years of sound, sane, banking,
under proper supervision.
The annual meeting viii be held
January 18th, a. which time officers
and directors viii be elected for the
ensuing year.
