Found Him Asleep!
When burglars fntcrcd old Safoty Stevens'
house they found hire stund asleep. Whon his
wife aroiried him with the whispered assertion
that "there are burglars in the house" lie replied
with a yawn "Lot them go they can't find any-
thing. Our money is in the bank." He was not
wo iod. His pocltetboolc contained nothing but
a buncli of blank checks and a little loose change;
nothing to lose. It pays to have 0 bank account
in a good reliable bank for tho feeling of safety in
spired to say nothing of the many conveniences
and advantages.

TRACY SETTING WORTHY EXAM-
PLE F. C. Tracy has been exceedingly
busy about his home this spring
getting tho yard In shape for grass
and flowers planting trees and other-
wise Improving the premises. This
week trees were set along the walk
the entire length of the block and
Tracy says ho means to make them
grow. Here's hopln' but wo advise
him. to placo some sort of unbreak-
able unbondablo-nnd unknock-down-able
protection about the trees If he
expects them to survive. This offlco
has caused trees to be planted many
times In the past along tho street In
froMrt of our place of business but they
never made much headway owing to
the fact that those driving In with
teams .seemed to presumo the trees
had been placed there for hitching
posts and along with the damage to
them In this way careless car driv-
ers and toamers managed to run into
and drive over them until they gave
up tbe ghost and now stand dilapi-
dated battle-scarred BentlneU of
our fond hope and effort at beauti-
fying the street.

EASTER PARTY AT THE HALL
Among the most delightful even-
ings of the year was the one enjoyed
at tho K. of P. hall Friday night of
last week when Misses Edith Miles
Jessie Keith Hazel McFarland
Helen Murphy Corean Drum and
Hazel Barr and Messrs. Chas. Miles
Dave Kile Harry Cayler. Harry
Pcckham and Herbert Smith enter-
tained a large number of friends at
an Easter party. The hall was at
tractively decorated with Easter Bun

AMONG THE "OLDEST SUBSCRIB-
ERS" R. M. Rlzlcy of Elmwood father

a caller at this office. While hero
Mr. Rlzley renewed his subscription
to this paper for the thirty-second
time he having taken Tho-Hernld con-
tinuously since Its first issue and It
Is now in Its 32nd year. There aro n
few other subscribers to Tho Herald
who have never missed an Issue of
this paper since It was established
In 1880. Wo think R. Q. Dnnlop

about It. Mr. DunlonT If there arc

A GOOD SHOW AT THE GLOBB
Managor Spangler ot the Olobe
theatre gavo his audience a good '
show Friday and Saturday nights ot
last week at which time the war
film "America's Answer" was shown
at that popular plcturo houso. While
the picture Is now old nnd has lostt
much of its significance to many yeti
tho scenes depleted wore soul-stirring
and wero worth while for there
Is yet much war work. Liberty bond
work Red Cross work and other
worthy activities which need support
and call for porsonal sen Ice and
those who Baw "Amorlca's Answer"
would certainly bo aroused from their
lethargy and roallzo the need for con-
tinued work until thu Job is Finished.
