It's our idea the. Banker owes
his customer something; if you
take his account be sure you can
take care of him. Often a "Bank"
will take all you give and think
they have done all that is necess-
ary. We think differently. Bus-
iness is reciprocal. Banks are
supported by the people they
should see to it that they support
the people. We promise full pro-
tection to the business entrusted
to our care.

The commendable disposition of our
citizens to co-operate in park work is
shown by the fact that several persons
not signing the tree-planting agree-
ment have set a number of trees in
South Park and several who agreed
to have a certain number set have in
some instances more than doubled
their quota.
The fact that the acting secertary
of the Retail Merchants Association
only received six rating inquiries in
two weeks indicates that the mem-
bers are not getting the most possible
out of that organization. Quite a few
'lard" ones have been found and
classified but there are still some run-
ning with the sheep that belong in
the other bunch.
Milford-Berger received this niorn-
ir.g what they regarded as a reason-
able request for payment of au ac-
count before it was due. A hosiery
manufacturing concern in North Caro-
lina sent out a manifold letter saying
their factoiy and office had been en-
tirely destroyed by fire with a loss of
$75000 above insurance. The check
went out by first mail.
Don't get scared and think you are
seeing tr.lrgs again if you notice a
number of strange creatures on the
streets tomorrow for they are harm-
less Scot Canadians members of the
"Kilties" band. They came in all
sizes. One is a giant over seve i feet
tall and another is but eighty-live
pounds in weight and less than live
feet in height. Without question the
globe-trotting "Kilties" will be the
queerest specimens of humanity seen
in this city for some time and their
performances as a concert band with
several special features will be ap-
preciated by all musically iucllned peo-
ple who are fortunate enough to hear
them. Many people will be amused at
the mere sight of these men in short
skirts and feather pointed bonnets
but the real side-splitting langhts will
come to those who hear the band in
some of their humoresquea and clever
imitations. -

all these are passed before reaching
our first camp. But of these- Tuttlin-
gen is our darling. We have . not
pushed a village that could have niado
us happy for many days; each wl'h
Its ruined castles Us medieval tower
its steep gables its colored tiles
cheery peasants; but writes Poultney
Bigelow In "Fiota the Black Forest
to the Black Sea" all this aud more
too is united in Tuttllngen. This lit-
tle town also has its feudal castle Its
ruined battlements Its legends and
its quaint gables; but It has more
than this it has the proud distlnc-
. Uon of having educated the poet who
made United Germany. The war-song
that has made all Germans merge
their local differences in one great
(purpose the common fatherland;
that united Bavarians and Prussians
Saxons and Wurtemburgers in 1S70;
I that brought victory over the French.
und an imperial crown to the house of
ilohenzollern that song is "Die
Wacht am Rhein" written at the age
oT twenty-one by a lad whose school-
ing was obtained la Tuttlingen. It la
nertlless to say that hi3 name is Max
Schneckenburger.
The people of Tuttlingen are now
raising the money needed to place
here a worthy monument to the man
who has made their town famous.
They have placed a square pedestal
upon the bank of the stream as a
mute Invitation to help on the noble
work. Of course we brought our
mite from across the Atlantic and
promised to stir our friends up also.
In Tuttllngen is a committee of the
leading citizens who are prepared to
receive and acknowledge contribu-
tions. Little is known of Schneckenburger.
He died in 1349 when only thirty
years of age. His father blackened
boots and lifted trunks in a Tillage
tavern near Tuttllngen but was ob-
viously of superior character for he
eventually became a email merchant
and married well. Max was too poor;
but in Tuttllngen he was thoroughly
schooled and then sent to Switzer-
land where the post of errand boy
was given him In a grocery store.
His short life was one of hard work
and small earnings far from his be-
loved fatherland and seeing of the
world only what ""appeared In the
course of trips made as a commercial
traveler. His widow assures us that
a day never passed that Schnecken-
burger did not kneel I prayer for bis
fatherland and his motto chosen at
the age of fifteen was this word
alone "DeutBch." In 1840 he wrote
"Die Wacht am Rheln" as an Indig-
nant protest against the French pre-
tentions of that time but the battles
of Gravelotte and Sedan had been
fought before his country was made
to know the source of their inspira-
tion. Schneckenburger Is another of
the many names that humanity loves
to honor but which alas! humanity
discovers long after its honor has
ceased to be of any material conse-
quence. Got Rid of His Creditor.
Lespes the French journalist known
as "Tlmothee Trimm" was once dis-
agreeably intrudefi on by a creditor
who announced his intention of not de-
parting until he was paid. The credi-
tor planted himself on a chair and
Lespes beheld him with consternation
draw bread and cheese from his pock-
ets as though to fortify himself
against events. Several hours glided
by; Lespes had resumed his writing
and finished an article. The creditor
showed no signs of moving. Suddenly
Lespes rose and with bits of newspa-
per began carefully blocking all the
apertures through which air could
come into the room. He then made
preparations for lighting a charcoal
fire; but before applying the match
pasted on the wall Just opposite the
creditor's eyes a paper thus laconical-
ly worded: "Take notice that we died
of our own will." "What are you do-
fng?" exclaimed the creditor uneasily.
"Your society would render life Intol-
erable so we are going to commit sui-
cide together" answered Tlmothee
tranquilly. It is needless to say that
the creditor decamped.
Art of Happiness.
Happiness is about the most misun-
derstood thing on this earth. People
believe that they know Just what It is
and Invariably answer that they are
striving for it dally. Yet the average
person's hazy idea of happiness con-
sists of a palace six automobiles
three or four houseboats an army of
servants tons of stuff to eat and
drink and a full-sized mint of money.
If one would only figure out wher-
In lies his happiness he would be bet-
ter armed for the fight. The trouble
Is that we do not know what we want.
And that is why we struggle along
day after day In a leisurely careless
manner. There Is an idea hovering
over us tha: there Is a bright future
ahead and w stop our thoughts
there. -
! First determine what you want
j Plan how to get it And then light for
I It. Happiness will be realised In the
! struggle and when you finally get
j what you want supreme bapineas will
' be yours
