It Is Just As Easy
There Are Many Con-
To deposit your income in the
bank each month and check a-
gaingt it, as to pay with the cash.
There is no additional expense,
and you are given the banks ser-
vice—this means safety for your
funds, convenience for your
transactions, and a condensed
record of every cent of receipts
and expenditures. Wo ask you
to try a check account for one

That you would not do without,
since you have tried them. It is
the same with the check account.
No man can afford to give it up
when he experiences the benefits
to his money matters. A trial
convinces even the incredulous.
It will afford you safety and
convenience as it does others.

" BANK OF DRUMMOND.
Guarant ced— Deposits
Is a matter which we have never
before brought before the people
through advertising in our paper,
while we are pleased to know,
that the deposits of our bank, are
guaranteed by the depositors
guarantee fund, of the state of
Oklahoma, we have never made
this a hobby in gaining business;
As we feel all intelligent people
of Oklahoma are aware that all
state banks must comply with the
banking laws sufficient to obtain
the protection for the depositors
or quit businesss, hence, it hag
only appeared the necessary
thing for us to do was to give our
people good honest banking ser-
vice; which evidence is shown
by the increased business of this
bank. While we are not out so-
liciting business from our neigh-
boring banks, yet we appreciate
all business which may com© to
to us, and yet our nearest cus-
tomer will get the same treatment
as the one fartherest away, and
vice versa. We keep a complete
record of all transactions you
may have with the bank, any
matter in reference to your de-
posits, chocks or note, which you
do not clearly understand we will
gladly show you a oomplete and
satisfactory record of it, don't
hesitate in bringing any matter
of this kind before us, as we will
assure you that you will be treat-
ed with the best of courtesy. We
pay interest on time deposits,
giving our customers the benefit
of their surplus money, in fact
we allow no bank to give advan-
tages to their customers which
we will not. Thanking you for
the past, and assuring you we will
appreciate all future business,
We Are Truly Yours,
Bank of Drummond.
Arbor Day in the Shcools
of Drummond
The tree planting which was
postyoned on account of the cold
took place Tueeday afternoon.
The exercises held in the upper
rooms, were most interesting.
Prof. Hoar deserves to be con-
gratulated, because of the short
time given to the preparation.
The whole matter was conceived
and carried into effect only a few
days ago. The exercises consis-
ted of a song by the school intro-
ductory remarks by Prof. Ho ir;
recitations by Myrtle Ott, Elsi6
Browser, Bertha Reddick, Char-
lie Ott, Conrad Hoffman, Harvy
Hammond, Howard Stewart,
Frances Knothe, Leona Hall,
Pearl Rusmisel and Maude Gor-
danier; dialogue by Horace
Austin and Dewey White; Re-
marks by Prof. Hoar and Rev.
Schermerhorn; song by the
school. The scholars then march-
ed to their rooms and in step with
the music, marched out of doors,
led by their teachers, to the north
of the building, where the holes
already dug and the trees in
them, awaited the ceremony of
the planting. Each school sur-
rounded its respective tree, and
with some remarks by a leader
or a song by all, chrietened the
trees after the earth had been
shoveled around its roots by
numerous ones of the class, re3
pectfully as follows: "Oklahoma
Hiawatha, Lincoln" and
than Morgan. Then the school
lined up in front of the School
building and a snap shot photo-
grap of them all was taken. The
patrons and visitors present
were: Mesdames McCain, Cox,
Anderson, Smith and Johns,
Miss Nixon and Messers Cox
and Schermerhorn.
Pavilion to be Ready
For the Great Show
Congregational Church.
Mid-week meeting Thursday
evening at 8 o,clock sharp. The
Pastor is wondering whether the
people of the church and of
Drummond have no care as to
whether there is such a service,
or whether the desire to promote
and sustain suoh service is dying
out within their hearts, or wheth-
er the minister is already becom-
ing a bore and a ohange in the
pulpit, be desired. The pastor
kindly and most earnestly urges
the deacons, trustees and mem-
bers of the churoh to demonstrate
their earnestness and sincerity
by faithful attendance, so far as
possible upon the Sabbath
servic es, and especially the mid-
week meeting. Sunday evening
March 21st., Mr. Schermerhorn's
subject will be: "The Great
American Octopus; or the terri-
ble menace to the life and safety
of our nation.

Cow Peas for Sale.
S. T. Allen has a few bushels of
of cow peas that he will sell at
$2.50 per oushel while they last.
Preparations are almost com-
pleted for the holding of the
greatest live stock show and sale
ever held in Oklahbmt., and one
of the greatest ever held in the
entire southwest. The magnifi-
cieat new pavilion which is
hereafter to be the scene of a
great show and sale annually, is
now ready for the roof, and ten
days of fair weather will see this
in place. This great pavilion is
constructed of concrete, practio-
ally fireproof, and has ideal
accomodations f<~>r one thousand
head of stock, and seating capac-
ity for five thousand spectators.
The building is seven hundred
feet long, being 40 feet longer
than th e great Chicago sale pa-
vilion. It is 150 feet wide. An
inside track extends the full
length of the building, and throe
hundred head of stook can be
exhibited at one time.
But the figures do not give
clear idea of the magnitude of this
institution. It must be seen to be
appreciated. The building, and
in fact the entire plans 9f the
enterprise, which embraces forty
acres of land, half-mile tracts,
ete., are those of Frank S. Kirk,
of Enid, who his already estab-
lished a record as one of the
most successful sales and stock
managers in the entire soutwest.
jona- I This great building and the at-
tendant enterprises are a monu-
ment to Mr. Kirk's ingenuity
and ability.
