All eyes have been turned to ward Washington this week, but the event'will soon be for gotten and the price ol stocks and grain will become the para mount issue. This is the proper time for the various ladies clubs in the city to inaugurate plans lor oeautifying the city. There are man}' very pretentious homes in this city where a little more care given to the lawn and other sur roundings would work wonder lul changes jn their appearance fiven the modest home with neat surroundings is a pleasure to the pedestrian and a credit to the dweller therein. Palls City in the past has not been a model town along these lines :.nd the ladies of the different clubs have a fertile field in sug gesting plans for an improve ment. A general lack of inter est in the appearance of our lawns and curb lines gives the entire city an uncomely appear ance. How can we work up a general interest in beautifying the homes? OUR NEIGHBORS For the first time in several months we visited our thriving neighbor town, Verdon, We were certainly were surprised at the substantial growth made and at the large number of at tractive homes scattered over the lively village. While the business portion of the town has just suffered a dis astrous tire that mars the pres, ent appearance, it will not be many months before this space will be tilled with substantial brick buildings and while the loss is keenly felt at this time by individuals, the appearance of the town will be greatly im proved. Verdon now lias some very creditable brick buildings, the best and latest addition be ing 1 lie opera house block erected by John Hall, and the home of the Vedette, built a few years ago by Charles Umphrey, who with the able assistance of bis most estimabie wife, presides over the village journal in an able manner and are making good from every standpoint. It was through the kindness of this worthy couple that we were shown over the town and given a detailed account of its pro gressive spirit and they never lose an opportunity, either by word of mouth or through the columns of their ably edited paper, to dress their home town in Sunday garb. They also pay a glowing tribute to their pub lie schools, presided over by Prof. Edward Ilodapp, whose upward course we have watched with pleasure from childhood to the present time and we have never been disappointed in the fact that he has always made good in every undertaking. Hast, but not least, we would mention the tine mill that would be a credit to any community much more pretentious than our neighboring village. We under stand that this institution is running on full time and finding a ready market for its output while it adds materially to Ver don as a wheat market. .lust a word in regard to the Transit House, where, in com pany with brother Umphrey and his estimable wife, we ate sup per. We would say that it is just like going home and enjoy ing a meal that your mother cooked. If the public ever mur mer on the service given them by Mrs. Moran at that hotel there is something radically wrong with the fellow who knocks.

Quaker Philosophy! i Said the good old Quaker to his boy: “Nathan, it is not what thee reads that makes thee smart; it is not what thee eats that makes thee fat: it is not what thee earns that makes thee rich, BUT WHAT THEE SAVES. Try one of our Vest Pocket Banks and watch results It will help you save many a dollar. THE Falls City State Bank Capital and Surplus. $70,000.00 A V A L V E I) POSSESSION Mark Twain savs truth it- one of our most valued possessions and we ought therefore to use it with the utmost economy. This rule as suggested by Mark would hardly work in the hanking busi nes->, for however prudent and economical the banker tnay be about other things, he must have very extravagant habits in his use of the truth if he expects to secure and keep the confidence of his patrons. Economy in this particular would spell ruin. The cornerstone of the banking business is confidence, and very foolish is that man who by a single act impairs in the sligbte-t degree this most valua ble asset. We are constantly striving for the fullest confidence of the people of this community, and a-- we are convinced that know ledge begets conlidence we never permit a transaction in this bank that would cause us embarrassment if exposed to the gaze of the public. We conduct the business of this bank in such a manner as enables no to tell the truth about it at all times without fear or favor. Tell the truth to directors, stockholders and public, then there is nothing to worry about.
