higher the rate of interest the in-
vestment offers, the greater the
risk of losing it all.
When the oily-tongued salesman
comes around offering you some
get-rich quick scheme that offers
immense profits, close u]> like a
clam. There's nothing to it—for
you. The really big things don't
have to be peddled around. It's
always the "blue sky" propositions
that require the service of the con
ttdenee man to unload- We are in
a position to advise you regarding
investments and will give you the
benefit of our experience.

Ground Hog Day.
— >w
Monday being the 2nd day of
February, was ground hog day.
The ground hog is a small animal
said to be found along the eastern
Atlantic states. All the long
winter months he stays in his
den in the ground and on the 2nd
day of February, he comes out to
see if spring has set in, but if
he sees his shadow, it frightens
him and he scurrys back into
his den, knowing that there will
be six weeks more of bad weath-
er; if he does not see his shadow,
he stays out and goes around eat*
ing roots and herbs, knowing
there will be no more cold weath-
er. When he came out Monday,
he saw his shadow and slipped
back in his den. According to
this we will have a late spring.
Miss Ruthie Simms returned-
to Gause Monday from visiting
Miss Lillian Williams.
