the BANK DEPOSIT GUARANTY LAW CONSTITUTION"
AL. US FELLOWS that don't know anything about bank
statements, when we see them, we cant tell whether they ar6

don't cost me a penny premium. They are just as safe and
just as good as a Government Bond. By gum she is a great law

Talk about your northers,
but Lexington sure got a bunch
of it Saturday and Saturday
night. . The thermometer fell
31 degrees during the after-

of the state. Saturday morn-

71 degrees and the weather felt
like summer, balmy and warm.
Bad colds and cold feet (not
mentally) have been occupying
everybody's attention thus far
