“I WORK AFTER SCHOOL”
Father has a store. I work
after school for him. He pays
me a small amount. From that
amount I have him keep for me
10c a week. I have had him put
my money in the Bank. I am
banking it, because when I grow
up I wish to go into business.
We want the Business Boys! Ambitious
young fellows, who want some day to own a
business of their own. Start now with $1.00
at this Bank. We want the Business Boys!

he will be back in good old Holt as
soon as the grass begins to shoot next
spring.

be flashed to the trains enroute as
fast as the results are released by the

touch with the election returns.
In a conversation today with Paul
N. Humphrey, secretary to Congress
man Kinkaid, relative to a public
building for O’Neill, Mr .Humphrey as
sured us that the building was a cer
tainty. The public building bill has
already been passed in the house and
carries an authorization for the
securing of a site for O’Neill and the
passage of the bill in the senate is as
sured. As there is no question of the
Congressman’s re-election, by a great
majority, this city will soon see work
commenced upon a public building.

A number of ghosts with their
Jack O’Lanterns, gathered at the home
of Marguerite and Marie Welch on
Halow’en night and had a regular Hal
low’een time. They visited the neigh
bors, giving them bad dreams of
ghosts, after which they returned to
the Welch home, having a large bon
fire, after which the ghosts and the
hostesses filed into the dining room
where they found a loaded table, ar
rayed with eats and Jack O’Lanterns.
After they had done justice to the
tempting viands spread on the table,
they took a vote for president and
found that all the ghosts but two were
in favor of Wilson. The others at
tempted to throw those two out, but
then decided to leave them off as they
were two of the esteemed ghosts.
After the vote they retired to the parlor
where the ghosts had a glorious en
ertertainment. After the entertain
ment they were treated to taffy and
they all spent, a most delightful even
ing.
The ghosts of the west and south end
of town were escorted home by Mrs.
William Welsh and daughter, Marie,

Mr. Welsh and daughter, Marguerite.
All the guests were delighted with the

antee Fund on October 13th in full payment to every depositor.
This concrete example of how quickly and positively this Guarantee
Fund operates to the benefit of the people of this state demands the serious
jj thought of everyone in this community.
§| Security for his funds is the desire of every man.
