Growing-
IN OUR BUSINESS,
shows that still more people are opening accounts
with us. We are daily adding new names to our
already long list of depositors. There is a good
reason for this. It is this: They have found that the
road to wealth is by way of the bank account; and
that we by our uniformly conservative methods,
our courteous treatment of our customers, our
steady increase in strength, have proven that this
is the place to open that account.

Owes His Success
to the Building
of a home because it has served
as an anchor and kept him in
a straight line and away, pos
sibly, from the many "get rich
quick" schemes which are so
plentiful today and which so
often mean riches only for the
smooth tongued promoters
thereof. By investing IN YOUR
HOME TOWN you are dealing
with values and people with
whom you are acquinted
people who are interested in
your welfare because your
success means the success of
others about you, and the
more successful citizens a
town can boast of the better
place it will be. All the lum
ber we have in our yards was
purchased with the view of
giving our customers honest
values, and when you decide
to build we want to tell you
more about our methods.

SWAT 'EM AND TRAP 'EM
"Swat the fly,"' has been a slogan
In this country this year in the In
terest of good health, but Billy Ham
ilton has Introduced a better method
of getting rid of the pesky disease
breeders by getting a number of
hug fly traps that catch them by
the thousands. Indeed so rapidly do
these traps catch the flies that
there is talk of having them placed
in alleys and other places where
flies are attracted, so as to clean
them out entirely. If this can be
done, it will certainly be a good
move.

ence recently that he will not for
get soon. He doesn't mind such lit
tle things as capturing burglars and
arresting robbers, but according to

pacity. He went out north of that

ferred to and secure some property
to satisfy a debt. The sheriff was
going to take a wagon, but the wo

the wagon with a six shooter and a
pitch fork and stood him off for a
while, but she finally gave up and
came to town and settled the ac
count. We are informed that since selling

A WIDE-AWAKE FAMILY
Seldom does a family enter a com
munity and In a short time make as
strong and favorable Impression as
has been made by Rev. Geo. Q.
Ware and his estimable wife and
daughters since they began their res
idence In this city last April. Mr.
Ware took charge as rector of St.
Matthews Episcopal church in March.
Owing to some repairs that were be
ing nun! to the rectory they did
not take up their residence hare un
til a little later.
Mr. Ware was at once recognized
as an able clergyman, and his force
ful personality aided him much In
the work of the church to which he
had been called. The favorable im
pression made by him was augmented
by Mrs. Ware and the daughters,
whose activity in the work of the
church has helped to give it a nsw
Impetus In this city.
There are four daughters, three ot
whom are in Alliance now. Mrs.
Armstrong of Denver U visiting
here, and two sisters are at home.
Miss Angela will graduate at All
Saints' School at Sioux Falls. S. D.,
next year; Josephine will go to
Philadelphia to enter a Deaconess'
training school for mission work;
and Ruth, the only one of the daugh
ters not now at home, is completing
her musical education in Germany.
The Herald begs pardon of these
good people for thus giving publicity
to family affairs. Our only excuse
for doing so Is that In Instances of
this kind publicity unsought, as this
has been, has a wholesome Influence
and tends to promote emulation of
good examples.
