v Bert Laing tells the story of a lanky
"cuss who came into his store rome
t'me ago. "I want to buy a collar,"
fie customer said. Bert showed him
the various styles, and the selection
was made. "What size?" Bert; asked.
"Oh, any size will do," .was the reply.
"But surely you wear some certain
size," he queried. "No, I ain't par
ticular," persisted the customer, "you
see, I got a collar bo. for my birthday
and I don't want it to be empty,"

This must be a brother of the man
who said he had plenty of collars, but
they were both in the wash.

heard because the pastor announced

the right of that man to tell why he
believed in Christian Science. The
irreat trouble with tha churches today
is that we have too many in them that
cannot tell why they are holding to
their peculiar tenets. Sunday evening
the pastor will explain why he could
no longer hold to the faith of the
church of his childhood, and in so
doing he will be fair with those who
disagree with him.
Thr re will be no carping criticism of
the Catholic church but an honest

a Young Man of Today Can Present
When Applying for a Position of Trust is
A Well-Wore Savings Bank Bo
People are realizing that one good thing came out of the war the general knowledge
that EVERYONE CAN SAVE. It is the frequent and systematic deposits that build up a
bank account. We are quoting one of the soundest bits of business wisdom that we have
ever heard. It comes from the man who is at the head of the biggest financial institution
in this part of the country: The Governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.
erMr., Says:-
ok-
"A well worn savingsjbank book showing systematic and frequent deposits is the
; v best recommendation a young man can present when applying for a position of trust.

(It is -not only an evidence of thrift but shows a determination to live on less than the
.; income, which, in the last Walysis, is the road to a competence. Recommendations
i and influence i of friends ofltlie applicant fade into insignificance with the employer
when compared with the above mentioned characteristics."
J. Z. MILLER, Jr., Governor,
Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.

Above Statement
There is food for reflection, hfoung men just starting out in life and older ones already
started will get good sound adviba that will mean a competence for them in their old age.
