The Communities IVclfaro!
The banking business is one of more than ordi
nary interest to the community in which the institution
is located.
To make the work of the bank most effective,
there must be a confidence between the bank of its
patrons, and between in fact the whole community.
Any fear of a financial institution is immediately
reflected in the business of the whole community.
The bank which has proven its worth to the com
munity is the one which has stood the test of good and
adverse times and stands e'er ready for the service of
the whole community.
The patrons' interest and the community good is
the bank's first concern. We are here for the service
of the entire community.
Thanking you for your confidence, co-operation
and earnest work for our community, we invite your
business.

operated on Thursday at the Lincoln
Sanitarium for an affliction of t'.ie

a sufferer since his dir.charge from
the navy in 1919. The operation was
performered by the government sur
geons and was a very severe one. the
patient being on the operating table
for an hour and one-half. The last
reports from the bedside of the young
man state that he is doing as well
as could possibly be expected hut it
will be some time before he is recov
ered from the effects of the opera
tion. It is hoped that this operation
will result in the permanent relief
of the patient who ha-? suffered so
long from this affliction.
