TRY IT FOR A YEAR
There is no other way so good as a practical test
for learning the many advantages of a check account at
a reliable and carefully managed bank. No matter
how small your present income a check account at this
bank will demonstrate its usefulness to you in less than
a year.
When, from your own personal experience, you
realize how nicely this check account systematizes your
business affairs and that you really gain, in the dollars
and cents point of view, as well as in 'he greater con-
venience in handling financial matters, in the actual
safety afforded your money, you will thank us for
calling your attention to this—the right way of doing
business. There is no expen e—the trial is easy to
make. Try it.

Sweet Clover Seed
Fanners who expect-"!" sow
sweet clover should be vert
careful as to the variety of reed
they secure. There are only two
varieties suited to this territory
These are White Sweet Clover
and the large biennial Yellow
Sweet Clover. There is a small
yellow annual variety being
sold, which is undesirable for
either hay or oasture, In many
Cases, the seed of t i»l» variety 1st
substituted lor the targe yellow
flow-red plant. The seed of this]
annual variety has a rough coat
while the two-year vanety lias
a smooth coat. This is the only
difference in their appearance
Before purchasing it is well to
get a sample and send to your
State Agricultural College tor
identification. 1 he U.S.Depart-
ment of Agriculture wtli also
identify varieties of sweet clover
free of charge.
Many farmers in Kansas were
disappointed last year when
they found the seed they had
planted was of the small annual
type. The seed of this variety is
much cheaper titan the other,
hence the cause of the substitu-
tion. When purchasing from
seedmen, have them give you a
written statement as to the
variety they are furnishing.

Building cA Business
It is ti difficult proposition to build a business without
capital and business methods. What would we think of a
man who started in business with little capital, in a poor lo-
cation, with poor goods, poor salesmen, poor rt putation, and
at last, hut not le ast, poor advertising. If the poor salesmen
do not sell the goods to the public at the poor location, aided
by the poor advertising, what does the poor merchant blame,
lie invariably blames his advertising, and says advertising
doesn’t pay. 11 is advertising don’t pay him.
The impossible is not claimed for advertising. No one
claims that advertising will change the leopard’s spot', but
advertising will sell the leopard’s skin. Likewise no one
claims that advertising will make a business man out of a
man, or a success of any business, but it is claimed that ad-
vertising will assist materially in building a business for a
man where common sense is used in the conduct of the
business.
The basts of all individual success in life is common
sense, and the basis of success in business is common sense.
If a man uses common sense in embarking in a business,
buying his goods, selecting a location, choosing salesmen,
and parading his wares before the public thru advertising, it
is as impossible to prevent him from succeeding as to stop
the Niagara. His purpose is to build a permanent and prof-
itable patronage. The only way to do that is to go out
after business all the time.
No business essential is less understood and more neg-
lected, and thus contributes more completely to so many
business failures, as advertising. The buying habit of the
people is changing constantly and the best way to keep in
touch with these ever changing habits, ever increasing
demands, is through newspaper advertising-everybody looks
to the newspaper for all the news.

Is what we all base our judgement on and
