Farmers, SAVE
Your Money 5
Don't spend your monsy foolishly. The time
will come when you will need ready money; and
unless that need is supplied, you will have to
buy your provisions and farm supplies on
CREDIT, which means that you must pay a
much higher price for goods.
Save the quarters and halves and dollars that
you don’t actually need now, and put tilem in
this safe, strong bank where they will be beyond
temptation to spend, and will draw a liberal in
terest. '
A connection with this institution will help
you in many ways. Come in and talk it over
with us. : ,

The Science Course.
'The Science Course of .the High
"Schaoi is designed primarily for
the benefit of two classes of stu
ldents first, those who expect to
complete the High School and
find the Language too difficult;
'second, those who expect to have
to withdraw from school before
completing the course. It is
made as practical as possible un
‘der the circumstances. The only
difference in the classical and
scientific courses is the substitu
tion of some practical science for
Latin. .
The Eighth Grade will study
‘advanced Physiology; the Nineth
Botany and Agriculture; the
Tenth Bookkeeping, and the
Eleventh Mec :anical Drawing or
"Stenography.
Parents are requested to dis
lcuss the courses with the tea~h
ers and then before deciding.
' One may change from the classi
leal to the scientific at the begin
ning of any year, but after the
first year one cannot change
from the scientific to the classi
cal without making up the Latin.
