In the past Bainbridge has had
some trouble keeping good bakers.
.She has two flow. One having re
cently spent abqut five thousand dol
lars preparing to take care of the
trade. The other a smaller but- good
bakery.
They both are tax payers and try
ing to take care of the town in this
line and are entitled to help in the
backing.
Now for a strange story. In the
past, hundreds of times our local
merchants have called on us to at
tack this order away from home bus
iness but to our sadness and sorrow
mg have to get the home merchants
for using foreign bread and passing
over our home folks. Now we have
very closely looked into this thing
and find that the wagons that come
in here from other towns and load
up our merchants get the same for
their bread that the home men do.
We are trying to build up a town
here and our merchants can't do any
thing w^th the folks ordering stuff
from mail order houses with their
cash and buying at home on their
credit. Nor can our merchants ex
pect any better since they are set
ting the example by using this out
of town bread.
The out of town man pays no rent
here, hires no baker here, has no
pay roll here, pays np taxes here
and don't even buy his gasol|ne here.
And our merchants will buy their
bread and leave the home man look
ing up n tree.
Now this is a matter for the board
of trade and for the business Rom
an’s club to look after. Let every
lady in town when she orders her
bread, ask the merchant who made
the bread and if it is not made at
home, send it right back.
We are surprised to think that
any of our own merchants should do
this.
Suppose the local man charges a
penny a loaf more than the outsid
er, is he not entitled to 10 per cent
advantage and does It not cost him
more to do business here. He pays
rent and taxes and the outsider pays
nothing. Of course he is entitled to
a bit more.
We call the Board of Trade to
take this matter in hand and see why
it is that o\^r own folks will not stick
on each other in such matters.
We don’t give a tinker’s darn
about the bakers in person but we
do about the principle’of the thing.
They are doing business here and
they should be helpld by the folks
they are doing business among.
Mr. Merchant don’t buy any bread
made out of town when you can get
within ten per cent at home.

WOULD BE DONE BY.’’

Statement Of
THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF BAINBRIDGE
AND
Dear Bob:- «
I'm mighty sorry that you are sick
and we sure missed you at our serv
ice Sunday evening. We all hope
you will soon be well. We need you
to help in some very important work.
I’ll say we had a good program
last Sunday. You know Glenn Tonge
was the leader. The scripture read
ing was - St. Matthew 4:1-12.
. The subject was “Examples” and
Glenn gave us a splendid talk on the
subject from characters in history.
Another good talk “Examples from
characters in the Bible” uas given by
Mr. George H. Harrison.
I’m sorry you missed this talk as
Mr. Harrison always has a helpful
message. He is certainly an inter-
esting speaker. And Rev. Scott-
Smith is with us. now and he came to
the service and gave us a fine talk.
We are so glad Rev. Scott-Smith is
going to be here to help us in our
work. He says the Y. P. S. L. can
do a lot to held build up the church.
Another enjoyable number on the
program was a piano solo by Caro-
lil Graham. Good music is a gTeat
help to any meeting. After the an
nouncements the service was closed
with prayer ahd benediction by Rev.
Scott-Smith.
You must get well and come to the
service next Sunday:. Julian Gra
ham is going to present a mighty fine
program. The subject is the 28th
verse of the 11th chapter of St. Matt.
I am not going to tell you what it is,
you get your Bible and look it up.
Its a verse I’m sure you know. Oh
yes, I forgot to tell you about our
pins. These pins came yesterday
and I’ll s^end you one real soon. The
pin is in the shape of a shield with
a cross on it, in the center of the
cross is a star representing the “Five
Fields of Service.” Well I guess I
had better bring this note to a close,
and here’s hoping you come to the
service nert Sunday. 6:30 P. M. Be
on time.
Yours for a better Y. P. S. L.
BILL.

TO PROTECT A MORTGAGE
You have lived through this first nine months of Nineteen Hun.
dred and Twenty Two without doing two things—
First—You haven’t had to pay the mortgage,
And— ,
Second—You haven’t died.
It is estimated that eighty per cent of the mortgages made in
the Unfted States are never paid by the original borrower.
Which simply means, in the event of your death, that your mort
gage—that you cannot pay—is passed on to your wife. How is
she to pay it?
In other words, if a man can’t pay a mortgage while he is aiive
how can he expect-his wife to pay it, after he is dead—unless—be
carries enough life insurance to do it.
Practically all your life’s savings are tied up in your equity
in this piece of property, that you only half-way own. It is just
as necessary for you to protect youn half, as it is for the man who
holds the mortgage to protect his half.
Remember—the first nine months of Nineteen Hundred and
Twenty Two—ther are two tilings you haven’t had to do—
First—You haven’t had to pay the mortgage yet,
And—
Second—You haven’t died—yet.
Afterthought—Carrying a life insurance policy on your life with
the Franklin is better than having a mortgage foreclosed.
Twenty Two—there are two things you haven’t had to do—
