.This section of the country
was treated to a Jgood rainfall
late Sunday evening. After
threatening all day the heavy
downpour began about seven
o'clock that evening and while
it lasted only a short time it
thoroughly soaked the ground.
The weather since has been
quite warm.
Nineteen members met at the
Red Cross rooms Tuesday after-
noon and made six sewing ma-
chines hum all afternoon, com-
pleting considerable w ork.
While this attendance is very
good we would be glad to see
more members take active
measures in assisting with this
needful work. Come out next
Tuesday afternoon.
At the meeting of the town
council Monday night the usual j
business was dsisposed of and j
Chas Herrian was appointed as j

death of Judge Burchett it was
necessary to fill the office of
police judge and the members
of the town board decided on
John Ross to fill this place.
Mr. Ross has lived here a num-
ber of years, is a veteran of the
Civil war, and in an early days
served two terms as Justice of

Oklahoma Made Binder Twine
According to Warden S. L.
Morley, of the Oklahoma state
penitentary, that institution is
proving a thorn to the "twine
trust." The penitentiary is |
now filling orders for twine at I
22 cents a pound f. o. b. McAles-!
ter, Okla. They have on hands j
I now more than 1,400,000 pounds j
j of twine and it has been going
I out at the rate of 25,000 pounds
a day recently, but these spip-
| ments will increase as harvest
J time approaches. The price is
I the same to every body, 22 cents
a pound, whether in quantities
of fifty pounds or car load lots.
The output is sold at a very
small profit but the twine is
guaranteed to be as good as any
standard twine.

Absolute safety usually means an invest-
ment with very low returns; not always,
though.
Our certificates of deposit give absolute
safety and pay four per cent interest.
The safety of course comes from the State
Guarantee Law. You can't loose; more-
over, you can get your money when you
want it.
Why not invest in one of our certificates
of deposit today.
