Before Another
Crop Season
The farmer should lay his plans to bring every
possible banking aid to his work for the year.
The time to cultivate a banking acquaintance
is before you need banking accomodation. An
account bfgun now will help establish the
acquaintance so necessary before all the ben-
efits of a banking association can be realized.
The Security State Bank wants to contribute
its part to the success of every farmer within
banking distance. A little informal talk with
one of our officers may open the way for great-
er profit for you the coming crop season.

mation to the inhabitants of
Paris:
“Members of the government
of the republic have left Paris in
order to give new impetus to the
defense of the nation. I have
been ordered to defend Paris
against the invader. This order
I will fulfill to the end.
(Signed) “Galliena, Military
Governor of Paris, commanding
the army of Paris.”
The population of the capital is
taking the departure of the heads
of government calmly, recogniz-
ing that its a matter of prudence
Although the city is generally
placid, the people feel keenly the
approach of the Germans and
they are rapidly preparing for
whatever may happen. Many
families left for the west today,
1 taking with them their household
necessities. These refugees from
the capital have been compelled
to make long detours because the
railroads are encumbered with
military trains.
Railroad lines out of Paris to
the north have virtually been cut
MAN LOWERED IN
CAGE HURLS BOMBS
London, Sept. 3.—The method
used by Zeppelin airships in drop-
ping bombs has been described
as follows by an English refugee
who has just arrived here from
Belgium:
“The dirigible hovers over its
objective at a sufficient altitude
to keep it out of range of the
enemy’s guns. At the same time
it lowers a steel cage attached to
a steel wire rope 2,000 or 3,000
feet long. This cage is divided
compartments and it carries one
man, whose duty it is to throw
down the bombs.
“The cage is sufficiently strong
to make rifle fire against ft in-
effective, and becase of its small
size and the fact that it is kept
constantly in motion it is very
diffiult for heavy guns to hit it.”
The Enterprise will be $1.50
after January 1st.

The Russian occupation of
Lemberg, the capital of Austrian
Galacia, may have a far reaching
effect on the campaign in eastern
Europe apart altogether from the
loss of Austrian prestige through
the fall of the city.
More than three-quarters of
the population are Poles and the
Russians anticipate that their
entry to the city will contribute
toward a helped-for Polish upris-1
