Confidence in Your Bank
The relation between a bank and its depositors
should be as close and confidential as the re-
lation between good friends The reason is
that banking like friendship is founded on
Trust and Confidence
The depositor trusts his bank with his money
and a knowledge of his financial standing and
should receive in return from the bank the ut-
most assurance of security and good faiths

reports received on the first day of
the selling campaign L J E Phil-
lips state chairman of the Fourth
Liberty Loan Campaign feels con-
fident that the- whole state and
every Individual will do his full
duty in meeting his government’s
call From some sections of the
country Individual cases of men
holding back have been reported to
the state committee but these cases
are being handled by county com-
mittees 4
Moneyed men men with comfort-
able Incomes and salaries cannot lay
claims in coming years to being
good Americans If they continue to
turn deaf ears t their country’s
call Mr Phillips declared This is
probAbly the last war In their ca
reera when they will witness their
nation in distress' when their gov-
ernment appeals (to- them for aid
which must tide It over a danger-
ous 'situation If a man subscribes
fifty dollars when' he should glvo

Is not doing jits duty Where the
Hun takes Uncle £am borrows and
pays a reasonable interest rate
This has not been a campaign o’
coercion but of persuasion Mr Phil-
lips explains and It has - been
gratifying to note the spontaneous
and generous response Men who
have fallm to beet their responsi-
bilities have tieen left to suffer the
reproach of their fellow citizens and
In only a few cases have fires been
built under-wen -who have refused
absolutely to listen to reason— —
"During the remaining ' days of
the campaign every effort should
be made ' to over-snbscrlbe each
connty district and Individual quo-
ta in order that Germany and the
hoys at the front may know that
Oklahoma is doing her dgty

M E Church Sunday night of the
Red Cross organization of Saline
township New officers will be elec-
tedvfor the ensuing year and other
business transacted '
Every man woman and child In
the Saline township is urged to be
present
The Farmers Exchange of Jet
wishes to make a few announcements
to the leading public and to correct
some erroneous ideas concerning our
business ’
Somehow quite a few people have
the idea that the Farmers Exchange is
doing business for stockholders only
This Idea is very wrong
We wish to state that we are here
primarily for the benefit of the far-
mers Of course it stands to reason
that the stockholder does and should
receive the most benefit
Our prices are the same to everyone
Mr Stockholder receives the - same
price for his wheat and pays the same
price for his oats or other feed as does
the non-stockholder ' ’
Not withstanding the disadvantage
at which we have bean placed we have
loaded 20 mrsf£Jtha ‘‘jitney’’ t" ?
Now that odr railroad switch is suf-
ficiently completed to load cars from
the elevator we are in much better po-
sition to do business 5 - 1 ’
We expect to handle Flour Feed
Grain and Coal We also expect to
have In the near future a car of Pota-
toes Beans Cabbage and Apples
Remember the day of grace is not
yet passed We still have a few stock
shares for sale
Mr Reader now U the time for you
to show your loyalty and patriotism
to the institution that has benefited
you and been a blessing to the entire
community
We thank you for your patronage
and assure you satisfactory service '
