The Banker
and the Farmer
By co-operating with a hank the farm-
er places himself in position to receive the
financial support that is so necessary at
' certain seasons in all agricultural pursuits
And it is the farmer’s co-operation that
places the bank in position to render such
support In a word the banker and the
farmer need each other
We particularly solicit the accounts
of farmers and the facilities of this bank
are always at their disposal

LARGEST ATTENDANCE
IN HISTORY OF THE j
MARIETTA SCHOOLS
The Marietta schools have
the largest attendance in the
history of the town Last week
it was necessary to place an-
other teacher in the system to
care for the numbers that
could not be seated in the pres-
ent rooms A temporary room
was equipped in the Auditori-
um o fthe Franklin building
and Miss Cora Black was plac-
ed in charge of it
A portion of the large at-
tendance is caused by the ope-
ration of the compulsory school
laws Several have moved in
from the country districts to
have advantages of the Mari-
etta schools Mr Stafford the
county and citv truant officer
says that practically all who
come under the law are in the
schools somewhere All chil-
dren between the ages of 8 and
18 who are not physically un-
fit are required to attend 120
days during the year or par-
ent$ are subject to a fine of $10
per davffor the violation thereof:

To Save Is to Have
Suppose you save 25 cents a day That
does not mean much to the average man'
You won’t miss it
Yet that 25 cents a day in ten year grows to nearly
a thousand dollars And the interest which we pay
you for saving your money brings the total to
well over eleven hundred dollars
Think of what you can do with this
Realize Your Dreams
Just a few vears of small but steady savings will
bring you many of the things you are longing for
Perhaps you want a car Perhaps you want to buy
the farm next to you Perhaps you want to start a
son in business or to go traveling or to educate
yourself or your children
Saving will do all these And best of all you will
have formed the saving habit and will never be one
of the nine men
out of every ten
who pass their
last years penniless-in
the poor-
house or depend-
ent on others ‘
