ready to grasp yoilr chance? If not, better be-
gin now to save, because opportunity knocks
once at every man's door. Be ready. We in-
vite you to start an account with our bank.

Our Thoughts.
I often wonder where our
thoughts come from. They are
complex things surprising us
with the turn they take. Per-
haps we get our thoughts from
the various minds that touch us
as we go in and out about our
business. Sometimes a flower
with its fragrance has diverted a
chain of thought from one line to
an entirely different line. The
song of a bird has changed the
current of thought, and the
laughter of a little child has been
the means of turning thought
from evil to good intention.
There is one thing sure, the
more we think good things, and
the longer we permit our minds
to contemplate sweet, pure, tend
er things, the more susceptible
we become to good thoughts.
We become what we think, and
knowing this, we should cultivate
thoughts that are uplifting and
ennobling. Thoughts are influ-
enced very largely by our en
vironment. therefore it is wise
for 11s to surround ourselves as
much as possible with those

Buchanan Put Tens
In Hall Of Fame.

Washington, July 1.—Visitor*
to the Hall of Fame in the Na-
tional Capitol will will hereafter
know that the statues of General
Sam Houston and Stephen F.
Austin were placed there by the
State of Texas. This simple
happening is due to the arrival
in the hulls of Congress J. P.
Huchanan of Bren ham. When
hearrived to serve his first term
in the 'Sxty-third Congress,
Buchanan observed that there
was nothing on the base of two
Texas statues to indicate the
State from which they came, al
though all of the others tributes
to the great men were plainly
labeled by the various States of
the Union.
Congressman Buchanan at
nice sought out the custodian of
he building and asked why the
two Texas memorials were not
properly labeled, and was in-
formed that official action
hrough Congress or the Texas
legislature would have to be
taken before the name of the
State could be cut upon the base
of the two statues, as they had
not been so marked when origi-
nally set up in the • apitol.
This thing has been on Buch-
anan's mind ever since' and yes-
terday as he walked through the
'lalI he saw preparations being
made for the dedication of the
statue of George Washington
Glick. erected by the State of
Kansas. He knew there would
•>e a crowd in the Capitol Sunday
when the exercises occur, and
he recalled that none of these
oeople would know that his State
Texas, was represented there.
He hustled out. K"t a stonecutter,
irdered him to carve the name
of the Ijone Star State upon the
pedestal of the statues of Hous-
ton and Austin, paid him oi.t of
his own porket for the job. and
today viewed the result of his
work with satisfaction. Thus
the Texan cut the knot of red
tape l>.\ taking the matter into
lis own hands, and now every
Texan who enters that majestic
hall will know that his State is
willingly represented in that
chamber of immortals.
The Banking Habit
Is universally conceded to be a good habit and
a good habit has been defined by someone as
"Yesterday's Achievements Taking the Sting
from Today's Toil."
This definition states the exact truth, based
upon the experience of thousands of depositors
throughout the world.
While you are forming this exceptionally good
habit, you are accumulating a fund for future use.
Life is worth living when you have money in the
bank it gets monotonous when you are broke.
Open an account with our bank and you will
get the banking habit.
