Those Were the Happy Days

Those Were the Happy Days
"But those were the happy days
boy, believe me. There never was any
music sweeter to me than the creak
of the saddle leather and no picture
more enchanting than the landscape
toward the mountains, either at dawn
or in the glow of the setting SUM- There
never. was any excitement more thrill
ing than the wrangling of the cattle
at branding time and there never was
food more delicious than that which
was served from the camp at the close
of hard day when one came for the
evening meal tired and hungry from
the long ride.
"I don't thrill because of the rough
features of the early day history; that
is not it at all. But what fingers
sweet in my memory is the picture OF
the plains as nature made them, i'm
proved only by the fattening herds as
they roamed and ranged the graSs-cov
cred mesas Those are the things that
make me love the old days 1 am not
complaining of the later days at all
but those old days, as have pictured
can not be again because the plains
will never again be in their natural
state That can't happen and civiliza-
ton move forward. Civilization is the
order of progress and one can appre-
ciate it and also hold tender memory
of the days and the natural pictures
that have passed into the pages of the
gone but not forgotten
Monday worked for quite, a period
with the Ell Paso and Southwestern
Railroad company, being engaged in
the water service department in Lin
coin Then he came to Douglas to oper-
ate the night pump and later was en-
ployed in taking care of the cemetery
For period he was in the cattle buSi-
ness near Apache, but more recently
has been with the Pete Johnson outfit
as rider. He recalls that when he
was younger they did not have rodec
performances but that the riders who
had ability did that work on the con-
saddle for stated sum of cash. II
meant that one had to be a good rider
and no guess about it, as the contract
called for a. definite result in the work
of riding and unless the animal was
turned back ''broke" to the saddle nc
pay attached.
''But maybe it is the best the way
it is" mused Bill, because my joints
are getting something like my eyes
not as good as they used to be. They're
a little like my saddle leather gets at
times" he added "They sometimes
creak little, I think"
And he rolled another one, struck
the match and lighted it and then
strolled out into the street and glanced
toward the pinkening west, for the talk
had been goiog on for some time and
that sunset about which he had been
talking was already painting a livid
picture in the evening sky.

BANK OF DOUGLAS
DEAN OF FINANCIAL
CONCERNS OF CITY

"Our bank looks for an exceptionally
good year during 1921 declared John
B., CroWell, cashier of the Bank of
Douglas, discussing the business out
look Mr.. CroWell recalled the Splen-
did situation in the cattle industry,
referred to the copper situation as one
of exceptional encouragement and also
pointed out that there iS'a general at
mosphere of optimism among the
people, both business men and wage
workers, and he said that such a con-
dition was always a constructive force.
"The Bank of Douglas has concluded
a satisfactory year and faceScthe future
with hopeful anticipation said he.
There is no reason in Siglatr'to believe
we shall be disappointed. Douglas has
been very friendly toward us and we
have endeavored to reciprocate by Civ
ing them the best possible banking
service. Our records show a contented
family of 1900 savings account depoS-
'itors. They shared in our last years
earnings to the extent of $53,325.94. It
is interesting in this connection to
note that our family of savings account
depositorS has grown rapidly since 1920.
9 tut GAdlIlp1C, Ill 1871 6IIS Savings
accounts in the Bank of Douglas
totaled $759,317. But when we made
the disbursement of the interest to the
savings depositors last month, there
was then total of $1,384,787 which,
as one will see, is well nigh double in
the period of seven years. The habit
seems to be growing"
The Bank of Douglas is the dean of
banking III Douglas. 1t passed its 25th
year. last June. It's president is James
S. Douglas, who is also one of its
founders, so that it has a continuous
history with but one president. It's
footings show it's surplus to be one
and one-half times it's capital stock
and it has in it's bank vaults more than
$1,00O,OO0 in government bonds and
other sound securities.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1928-01-08

those who owned that money in any
other way than its joint use through
the agency of the bank in loans and
profitable investments.
Savings Begets Confidence
But as one banker put it, the mere
fact of that amount of interest is really
not the important one in connection
with the savings bank deposit The
real merit of the savings account is
that it furnishes the individual who
builds it up two things. 1t Greatest a
confidence that learns him to spell the
word CAN and it gets for him the
nucleus which he will, with the aid Of
his banker, turn into some other in
veStment that will bring him more
than the stated four per cent annually.
Sometimes he will buy home and
become his own landlord Sometimes
he will buy merchandise and become
a tradesmafl. Sometimes he will turn
it into investments in sound share is
sues. But only for the fact that he
gained the habit of thrift and devel-
oped the account, he would never have
been able either to perform the SPELL
ing of that three-lettered word "can"
nor would he have possessed the cash
TO make the desired investment and
get into business on his own account.
This banker pointed out that prob
ably half the homes were made pos
fsible first by the nest-egg of the saw
ings account Property is not sold on
guess, he stated The one who has it
to sell requires not less than two things
when the deal is. made. He, requires
some cash and that comes from Ine
savings account and he requires evi-
dence of a good moral risk in the
buyer and that is evidenced by the
fact he developed savings account.
SO the savings accounts in Douglas
suggest that there are good many
people who might be able to buy a
home on the installment plan if they
should so elect.
All these things that are found IN
the bank records of Douglas furnish
grounds for sound faith in the city's
banking Institutions. Their past rec
ord has been favorable and their in
slant sIowings cohnmends them to the
view that their future is in keeping
with the general outlook for the city
as has been forecasted by numerous
business leaders-sound with tenden-
cieS toward higher and firmer ground.
