Do not carry the money around in your pocket but put it in your deposit at the bank each day and check it out as needed. Men often carry money in their pockets without thinking of the benefit it would be to the bank. If 100 men who carry $20 each in their pockets would all keep this deposited and check as needed it would mean $2,000 addstional of dol lars deposits for the bank. There are many thousands of dollars to-day in the pockets and in the homes of our friends that would be of value to the bank and to the community if it were deposited in the bank and put into circulation in the community. Much of this idle money is not purposely withheld, but it is because these friends have never thought of the bank and community side of it. We cordially invite you to carry an ac count withjus however small it may be. This will be of value to our banks and of benefit to the the com munity. TAFT WILL VISIT FORTS.

An intimate friend of a young mar ried couple living in Pierce tells the Gall editor the following good story on the better half. Their life had been the happiest ever since their marriage several months ago, but a cloud had married their perfect felicity. Then one morning the young wife came down to breakfast table morose and wretched. She was snappish with her husband. She would hardly speak to him and for a long time she re fused to explain her unwonted con duct. Finally, though, the young man insisted that lie be told why his wife was treating him so badly, and she looked up with tears in her eyes and said: “John Smith, if I dream again that you have kissed another woman I won’t speak to you again as long as I live! So there!” Obituary. Michael Welch, wtio died at St. Vincent’s hospital in Portland, Ore., on May 6, 1907, of cancer of the stomach, was born on September 3, 1867, at Scranton, Pa.
