, ' ELEVEN MORE BAYS TO CHRISTMAS
■ Eluven days and Christmas eve will be uppn uf..
A short?'time in which to make your selections and
purchases for the Yuletide reason—the happiest of
the year. A time when we all should join in the
true spirit of the season and forgive and forget all
mishaps, misunderstandings and differences which
may have occurred during the year nearing a close.
. iota i* gift season—the season when remembrances
mean so much to us and bring out happiness and
good cheer and cause us to feel that there Is some
thing ii» life worth living for.
The merchants are prepared to supply every taste
nnd dcsjre of the gift exchange citizens.. Shop now
do not wait. Another week will be rush week.
CHRISTMAS SAVINGS CLUBS
- Whet! this plan of encouraging people to save
money was first put forward, little consideration was
given to it and it required a number of years ,to in
duce thb bankers of the country to take hold of the
plan and introduce it in their banks. Leo Goodman,
a bank 'clerk in a Memphis bank conceived the idea
and so well did he think of it he finally persuaded
'tile officers of the bank with which he was con
nected .to allow him to try it out in that city. The
plan jumped into popularity with the masses and
today his plan is in use in practically every bank in
the nation. Not only wage earners, clerks and
those with small incomes use this system of savings,
but many firms carry a Christmas savings account
in order to meet special obligations such as taxes
and insurance and the like. A small amount de
posited each week amounts to a considerable sum at
the end of the year and yet it is hot noticeable in ,
the income of the average wage-earner. One saves
without realizing the amount accumulating until the
end of the year when there is found in the bank a
nice nest-egg to add to or draw out to meet obliga
tion? which may have occurred during the year. It
is a plan which every one should adopt and acquire,
the saving habit.
In Athchs on the fifteenth of this month near to
, one hundred thousand will be paid out to the Christ-
. mas savings depositors. This money will be spent
among the merchants in all lines and every one will
receive direct and indirect benefit from the savings
clubs. •
No better new year resolution can be made than
to take out a Christmas savings account for next
year and each week deposit a small amount and at
the end of the year you will have a neat sum to your
credit whicji you would not have had otherwise. It
is worth considering and when you commence the
new year, remember to make your Christmas sav
ing dub one of your resolutions and obligations for
1924.

PROSPEROUS TIMES DAWNING
The year 1923 has shown a wonderful increase in
program and improvement jn all lines of commerce,
manufacturing'and industrial. In fact conditions
have almost returned to normalcy and with the
coming of another year and an equally good, crop,
vre may be assured that the period of depression has
parsed. Since the closing of hostilities this country
has experienced an unusual slump In all ■ lines of
business. It has been an unusual condition requir
ing the best efforts and every resource of our busi
ness men to tide the ship of commerce safely over the
obstacles brought on by war and destruction. How
ever, the time is rapidly passing and regardless of
the devastated conditions and the scarcity of labor
si t!:: under-production of agricultural product*
our people are rallying, diversifying crops, raising
more hogs, cattle, dairy cows and poultry. They are
creating a basis which is bound to become substan
tial for the rehabilitation of the country and for
bringing back better times nnd prosperity which
was enjoyed prior to the world war. It' is near at
hand and our people have won the fight over de
pression ard the return of normal conditions Is in
DRESSING UP THE LJLD1ERS
. he recent order of the war department for a ro
tarn to the blue uniform displacing the khaki will,
ho doubt, be received with enthusiasm on the part
of the soldier boys. Certainly they will appear more
dressed up and cause them to attract more atten
tion. During war it matters little as to the uniform
Morn by our soldiers. These men are respected and
honored regardless of uniform and the best of the
land is at their disposal. However, during times of
I peace, thco. no i who are giving their lives in the
I service of the government should be allowed every
AHvilege possible and the best of uniforms and
food. To keep them fit, healthy In body and pure
fn mind and soul they will make soldiers our nation
.will be proud of. •
A body of soldiers in bright blue uniforms, brass
buttons and other insignias makes a most lasting
impression and somehow creates a greater feeling
of admiration on the part of the public. It has its
effect and the action of the war department was
most timely and appropriate.
