A Bank's
Strength
After all the strength of any bank
-depends upon the way its deposits
(your dollars) are loaned.
'"** It is because of that very fact
that this bank has become known as
a strong bank. v
Not a dollar is loaned carelessly
or recklessly. Each loan is made
with its ultimate payment in mind.
Savings deposits are invested
largely in bonds and mortgages:
These facts should have your .consideration when you are selecting a
bank for your dollars.

PRICES!
This is a subject that interests us all, and especially now in view of present conditions. We. might
commence this week and keep our ad filled each week
with cuts and prices, but it is sufficient to say that we
are reducing prices all along the line whether good in
stock or bought new, and will not be undersold by anybody. If we use too much space the customer has to
pay for it. A clean, straight business on fair profit.
Goods bought right can be sold right. The bigger the
business the less per cent of expense per dollar of sales.

DISCOYEBEB OF HUBAM
CL0TEB VISITS STATE
That Michigan increase plats . of
Huban -clover, the new crop which
has attracted so much attention from
growers in the tountry, compare favorably with those in any other states,
is the opinion expressed by Prof. H.
D. Hughes, of Iowa, the discoverer of
he. rrog. Professor Hughes visited
the plats at the Michigan; Agricultural "college last week, and was en-
husiastic about the work with the
ciJop in the state. Michigan increases are said to be larger than those
anywhere else in the country.
Alabama and Iowa, two of the
leading Hubam states have both
suffered difficulties with the new
clover this year. Excessive rains in
the southern state and frosts in Iowa
damaged stands this spring-.
"Late seeding of Hubnm clowr
were somewhat injured in Michigan—
by droughts," says Prof. J. F. Cox
of the Michigan Agricultural college,
1'but earlier seedings are generally
in good shape. This crop often makes
% disapipointing apperaan2e during
?he first month of growth because cf
-.he fact that it starts tardily. This
has -caused many growers with excellent stands to think the crop a
Failure and put in another crop.
"Remarkably rapid ggrowth of the
Huham plants after being once" es-
'ablished will carry them past ordinary weeds, however, and if plants
are present from one inch to a foot
apart in the rows, clean cultivation
should toe given and a &ood seel
crop expected.
"Those  fortunate  enough to    have "
stands of this new crop may feel certain of a strong demand next year.
