LADIES’ MEETS A Debt To Yourself Face this fact. Face it squarely and keep it be fore you until you have acte& on it. Some day your earining power will be less than it is today. Your needs for shelter and maintenance will de crease very little, so that it is perfectly fair to say that only a part of the money you are earning is yours today. Some of it belongs to the “you” of fifteen to thirty'years hence. And, unless you set that portion of your income aside, you are being un fair to yourself. The self to whom you are being unfair is not your self of,today—vigorous, healthy and efficient—but yourself of the years to come, the years when you will either be comfortable on your surplus of today, or dependent on someone else’s surplus. This should be a disquieting thought. Our oldest savings depositors are, some Of them, the happiest. They are the ones who built up their balances by steady monthly deposits during their productive years. Let us help you as we helped them. The First National Bank L. C. Mandeville, President Clias.

It is therefore, bankers assert, a problem which serious ly nffectB the financial interests of the South and one which the bankorg should assist in solving—if any soliition may be found. The NewjQrleans convention has beor( called by the Louisiana Bankers Asso- iation joined by Governor John M. Parker, of Louisiana, and Mayor An-, drew J. McShano, of New Orleans, to devise ways and means to combat the losses by the boll weevil. It is expected that tho convention will be attended by tho most represen tative body of businoss men over bold in tho South. In attendance will ho businoss men in all lines of industry, including manufacturers, bankers, rail road," steamboat and steamship repre sentatives, as well as those engaged in agriculture. Pointing to the fact that the com ing convention is both “timely nnd wise,’’^cotton men show that the South’s*fereat staple sinco tho civil war nnd prior to the world war, was respon sible for tho favorable trade bnlanco. They show furthor that the supremacy of the United States as the greatest cotton producer in tho world is threat ened, and the national prosperity in con sequence, due to tho manaco and 1 ravages of the Mexican boil weevil.

The New vs. The Old There was a day when bankers wore gray whis kers, bald heads and an AIR OF AUTHORITY and AUSTERITY terrible to behold—another OVER COAT was needed when in, their presence. The bank, itself, in the minds of the people at least, was a sort of “Holy of Holies” where none but the elect dated go. Ih this bank we have a bunch of reg’lar fellows who are just as human as anybody./ They know peo ple have trials, they know other people have the right to live, worship God and prusue happiness. In short, this is a day of service—not servitude-— and this bank sees it as a duty to help make tho wheels go ’round in our community. CITIZENS BANK FARM LOANS NOW AVAILABLE . 19 NEWNAN STREET
