Found Him Asleep!
When burglars entered old Safety Stevens'
house they found htm sound asleep. When his
wife aroused him with the whispered assertion
that "there are burglars In the house" he replied
with a yawn "Let them go they can't find any-
thing. Our money Is In the bank." He was not
worried. His pocketbook contained nothing but
a bunch of blank checks and a littlo loose change;
nothing to lose. It pays to have a bank account
in a good reliable bank for the feeling of safety in-
spired to say nothing of the many conveniences
and advantages.

NOTICE OP HKGISTUATION
A special election has been called
for May Cth 1919 by the legislature
for the purpose of voting upon an
amendment to the constitution estab-
lishing a system of hard surfaced
roads and providing means for Its
construction.
Under the provisions of the regis-
tration law the books In every pre-
cinct should be open for registration
of voters for a ten day period begin-
ning twenty days before and closing

In view of the fact that thls'is the
first time since the adoption of the
suffrage amendment that the women
have had an opportunity to register I
want to urge them to register.
The law makes the same require-
ments for registration of women as
for men Mid they will be registered
on the registrar basis as men. No one
will be permitted to vote unless prop-
erly registered.
