OF INTEREST IN THE
SOCIAL REALM
THE FLIGHT OF THE ARROW
The life of man
Is an arrow’s flight,
Out of darkness
Into light,
And out of the light
Into darkness again.
Perhaps to pleasure,
Perhaps to pain!
There must be something,
Above, or below;
Somewhere unseen
A mighty Eow,
A hand that tires not,
A sleepless eye
That sees the arrows
Fly, and fly;
One who knows
Why we live—and die.
—R. H. Stoddard.
'‘THANK YOU”
These two words are among
the gems of our language; spoken
or written they are sweet and
full of meaning. What, then, is
the reason for so many people
forgetting to use them on occa
sions when they would be valua
ble? Whenever any one has done
a kindness, however small, when
we have received a gift of any
kind, whether large or small,
when a friend has shown us cour
tesy of any kind, then certainly
it should be acknowledged by us.
Possibly presents have been
sent on some joyful occasion;
flowers have been ordered for us,
to mark jov or sympathy, or
books have been ordered to be
sent to us to help in whiling away
3, tedious journey. If no acknowl
edgment has been received from
us when the bill came in, what
are our friends to do?
“Thank you” should be said or
written in return for each and
every kindness and the neglect
of such trifling courtesy goes far
toward marring our characters.

A New Machine At The
Jackson National Bank
This machine is really a wonderful
set of steel brains which we are put
ting to work in our accounting de
partment.
With it we can handle our figure
work faster than ever before and at
the same time be sure that every item
in our books is RIGHT.
Helps Us Give You Better Service
By the machine method, every de
positor’s account is kept in balance
ALL THE TIME and there are no
mistakes such as are unavoidable
with other ways of handling figures.
The time saving made possible by
the machine gives us an opportunity
to improve the service to our custom
ers in all departments of the bank.

Parent-Teacher Association
Entertains Wednesday
The following invitation was
received a few days since by the
members of the Parent-Teacher
Association:
“Vacation season is creeping near,
Ere one more month hs llown
Each and every Jackson teacher
Will have packed his trunk and gone
“So it is for two important reasons
VVe let these invitations fly:
We wish to elect our new officers,
And bid the teachers ‘Good-bye.’
“The place is the school auditorium,
The time is the tenth at half past three,
The object is very, very important,
The refreshments are—come and see.
“I’arent-Teacher. ’ ’
In consequence almost every
one of the eighty members of the
association were present on this
interesting, delightful and im-
portant occasion. A fall report
of the year’s work, which will be
seen elsewhere in these columns,
was given by Miss Bessie Wal
drop, and the organization should
feel justly proud of the part it
has taken in the general uplift of
the school. Under the able di
rection of Mrs. O’Kelley, with
the assistance of the other com
petent officers, the association has
added much to the educational
and material welfare of the stu
dents, and with the co-operation
of the parents in genera! they
hope to put forth renewed efforts
for the coming year, for which
new officers were elected on this
occasion.
After the business discussion,
refreshing tea and sandwiches
were enjoyed.

Everything is Done Automatically
It prints dates, adds your deposits to
the old balance, subtracts checks, fig
ures and prints your new balance.
All of this is done automatically. The
operator simply writes the amounts
on the keyboard—the machine shifts
from column to column and adds, sub
tracts or prints the date as desired,
without the least attention being nec
essary.
Come In and See It Work
