left hand too'close to the rapidly
revolving knives which he did
not know were there, and it drew
the hand in until it was shredded.
It was taken off so quick that he
did not know his hand was gone
until he looked at it. The doftors
amputated at the wrist. The
boy did not yell. He walked

called to his father, "Papa, I have
cut off my hand. Come and shut
down the engine." Grabbing his

hand to prevent the loss of blood,
he walked to the house, opened

IN Order to furnish proper banking
protection, President Lincoln and his
First Congress established the Nation-
al Bank which operates under Govern-
ment supervision.
FROM Time to time additional laws
have been passed under the different
presidents strengthening the protection
a National Bank offers.

that comes with the possession of mon-

when it is in a National Bank, for here
it has every safeguard possible for hu-
man ingenuity to devise.
IN Selecting a bank in which to de-
posit your savings or funds the one
thing to be considered is safety, and
we ask for your business only on the
basis of absolute safety.
CALL At our Bank and let us ex-
plain to you how safe your money is here.
