Some Reasons WHY You Should
Deposit Your Money in
This Bank
First Because it is a STATE BANK and operating under the
GUARANTEE LAW, the best law that was ever passed for
the protection of the DEPOSITOR.
Some (National Bankers) will say that your GUARANTEE
FUND is depleted. We admit there are some warrants out-
standing, but want you to understand that there is plenty of
security behind it. These warrants draw interest and find
a ready market. We want you to keep this in mind: It Is
not costing the depositors one cent to operate
under this law. We are willing to contribute annually
under this law to make the depositor absolutely secure,
\ r
If the National Banks that were one time STATE BANKS
and built up a nice business under the GUARANTEE LAW.
then thocght to escape the annual assessments by taking out
a National Charter and becoming a National Bank, would
pay into the GUARANTEE FUND what they owed at that
time (for which there are suits now in court to compel them
to do so) would almost wipe out the outstanding warrants
issued by the Banking Board.

That there were a number of dis-
satisfied stockholders in the com-
pany and that a receivership was

plants when they reach a height of
four or five inches. This time plant
in three or four inch flower pots,
strawberry boxes or tin cans that
have had the tops and bottoms
melted off. When grown in* this
way the plants can be left in the
bed or cold frame until the blos-
soms begin to open.
making a hot bed
The hot bed may be made as fol-
lows: Select a well drained loca-
tion, where the bed will be shelter-
ed, preferably on the south side of
a building or fence. Make an ex-
cavation eighteen inches deep the
size the bed is to be. Throw in
fresh horse manure and pack by
tramping. The manure heap should
be about even with the surface of
the ground or eighteen inches deep.
The manure surnishes the heat to
start the plants. Put on top of the
manure four or five inches of good
garden loam, which has not grown
any diseased ,'plants, and cover the
bed with glass hot bed sash. If
sash cannot be secured, canvas may
be substituted for the glass. The
temperaiure will run high for a few
days, but no seeds should be plant-
ed unfil the temperature falls to
about 80 degrees F. which will re-
quire three or four days.
A bed made about five feet nine
inches wide and about six feet long
will be plenty large enough to grow
plants for a tenth acre garden. This
size bed will take two hot bed
sashes which measure three feet
by six feet. The frame to support
the sash should be about fifteen
to eighteen inches at the back and
six inches lower in front in order to
drain off the water. The slop should
be toward the south.
During bright days the bed will
heat verv quickly and it will be
necessary to ventilate by raising
the sash on the side opposite from
the wind. Toward evening close
the sash in order to get the bed
wann before night. Water the bed
in the morning on bright days as
watering in the evening or on
cloudy days will have a tendency to
injure the plants and increase the
danger of freezing and damping off.
Ventilate the bed after watering in
order to dry off the plants.
Before the plants are set out they
should be hardened off and this can
be done by transfering to a cold
frame or by removing hot bed sash
during the day in mild weather. As
the plants become hardened the
sash can be kept off at nights when
there is no danger of frosts. This
harden off process must be done
gradually to prevent any serious
check to growt1'.
If it is impossible to make a hot
bed the plants can be started in
shallow boxes in the house. Get
shallow boxes from a store and fill
with good rich soil and sow the seed
as described for the hot bed. Bore
two or three holes in the bottom of
the box for drainage. Keep the box
as near a window as possible and at
living temperature.
