BUILDING NEW HOME
persons lined the side waiks and
few only duffed their hats or bowed
their heads when the flag passed and
the band played the Star Spangled
Banner. After the music by the band
the parade marched to the end of the
street where they broke rank, and
were dismissed for the day. A word
of praise should be given the teachers
who should be commended for their
interest in the occasion, for had it
not have been for the school, the day
on which every red blooded Ameri-
can town should remember with Kon-
pared to give here.
FUNERAL SER VIC E3
Dr. R. E. Thacker after wrecking
his residence will erect a new six
room bungalow of the latest style in
architecture. The new home will be
strictly modem in every way. There
will be a basement so as to install thj
latest approved heating system. This
new building is one of several new
homes which have been built here tnis
fall, which shows the confidence
these men who spend their money for
new homes have in our town.
also men should remove their hats
when the Star Spangled Banner
played, for that is our national song.
On an occasion like last Friday it
is in recognition too, of the men who
paid the supreme sacrifice^ and also
for the living men, who are now dis-
abled sick arid lonely, vvho have lost
their health,, their positions, and in
many instances have lost their minds.

AMillionDollars in Sheep
in Oklahoma.
Not long ago there were very few sheep in Oklahoma. A num-
ber of farmers, after' advising with their bankers, obtained ex.
perimental flocks and found them successful. Today there are
more than 100,000 sheep in Okahoma. Adding more than $l -
000.000 to the wealth of the state.
Hie banker is interested in anything that will promote the
welfare of the community or the state. He always is ready and
willing to advise with the farmer or business man upon any
new step under consideration.
We want you to feel that the experience of the officers and
directors of this bank is at your disposal.
And don't forget that deposits here are guaranteed by the
STATE DEPOSITORS' GUARANTY law.
