Many people say. "Money
talks;" yes, ahd it does a lot of
other things too.
No bird, shot, or shell, flies
as fast as money.
It is like the bird in your
hand, always trying to* get
away. If you will pay all bills
by check, you will really save
money.
The Saline Savings Bank invites your checking account.

Do you realize that when you were !
allowed to take out  insurance with j
the   United   States   government  you
were offered something that no other
insurance -company can give yeu?
That governmisnt insurance is
stronger, safer, -and cheaper than any
other insurance in the world? \
That if you- have been disabled in
service there is every probability that
you cannot get insured in any private
company?
Have you allowed your insurance to
lapse?
If so, you cannot afford to let it go.
Twenty Tears Ago.
Ladies  wore bustles.
Operations were rare.
Nobody had seen a silo.
Nobody swatted a fly.   ■
Nobody had appendicitis.
Nobody sprayed orchards.
Nobody wore white shoes.
Cream was five cants a pint.
There were no movie theatres.
Cantaloupes were muskmiellon-.
Milkshake was* a favorite drink.
Advertisers did not tell the truth.
You never heard of a tin  "Lizzie."
Doctors wanted tosee  your tongue.
