The other day a farmer drove five miles to pay a debt,
losing half a day's time by doing so. Had he been a
depositor with this BANK he would have mailed a check
Bt the expense of two cents and spent his time more profit-
able. It is extravagance not to be a BANK depositor.

J. F. Smith and J. C. Erwin, Vice-Presidents
In a letter dated May 1, 1928
complimenting the service of
Congressman Box on an impor-
tant non-partisan business com-
(mittee of the House, and pledg-
ing the Republican House Lea-
der's co-operation, Hon. John
Q. Tilson said:
"Many thanks for your letter
of the 30th ult-, enclosing re-
port and minority views re-
garding certain bills emanat-
ing from the Claims Committee.
"You and Mr. Underhill
(Chairman)) have done fine
work on your Committee, and
I for one appreciate it. You
may, therefore, count upon me
to co-operate with you as far as
I reasonably can."
Referring to Mr. Box's hand-
ling of a great group of old in-
ternational claims involving
millions of dollars, and dealing
with the prospect that German
depredations might give rise to
similar troublesome claims
hereafter, Hon. Finis J. Gar-
rett, Democratic Leader of the
House, said on the floor of the
House:
"Mr. Garrett of Tennessee.
If there is a hang over like
there has been in connection,
with the spoliation claims, I
hope the gentleman from Tex-
as (Mr. Box) will be here to
deal with them." (Cong. Rec
Dec. 16, 1926, p. 621).
FOR THE SMALL ROOM
Hang a large mirror at one
end of the very small room and
you will greatly increase its
feeling of size and space. This
also brightens the room, for the
mirror will catch and multiply
each ray of light.
