Compulsory Service Not Wanted.
COMPULSORY MILITARY SERI TCP WOULD HE
CERTAIN TO RE THE CAUSE OF TROUBLE
IN TIIE SOUTH AS WELL AS El.SEIFIIERE.
VILLA RICA ROUTE 2
Who wants compulsory military service? It is certainly
rot wanted in the south and if we do not misjudge candid re
ports which come to us through the public prints, it is not
wanted anywhere.
It would be well for every man to get the facts, il pos
sible, as to who or what is behind this disgraceful scheme, and
govern himself accordingly.
The following interesting item is reprinted from Capper's
Weekly, Topeka, Kansas:
NO GOOSES rEPP1NG WAN TEI)
“The members of this Union will use their influence to defeat
any military man for President as we are opposed to any form of
compulsory military training,” declares the Clay County (Kansas)
Farmers’ Union.
This straw from Kansas could be combined into the biggest stack
the world has ever seen, if every big or little community in the land
opposed to this form of compulsion were to be represented by just
one straw.
The West is opposed to goosestepping in any form and agrees
with Thomas Jefferson that the best way to destroy a healthy and
universal patriotism is by the military route—a big army, com
pulsory militarism, a military cast.

Tractors on the Farm.
WITH THE men COST OF I.ICING AM) THE
SCARCITY OE LABOR COMES THE TRACTOR,
MAKING I.A BORERS NOT SO NECESSARY
The usefulness of the tractor on the farm is demon
strating itself more convincingly every day. Now that farm
labor can scarcely he hired at any price commensurate with
the farmer's ability to pay. coupled with the costly upkeep
of stock when they are idle, farmers are giving the tractor
more serious consideration than ever before.
We all understand that as long as there are farmers
there will he the need of horses and mules, but the tractor,if
it cannot meet the need of every condition to which it might he
subjected, can he made a valuable factor upon farms as well
as in other things, and the fact that it dispenses with the labor
problem to a great extent has been proven.

THE REAL BANK
is the spirit that animates the institution.
Financial resources, buildings fixtures, equip
ment-all these things—are, after all, the mere
tools with which the bank works.
A reel understanding of the customers needs;
an earnest desire to cooperate with him in every
legitimate way; a realization of public responsi
bility—these constitute the BANK. Everything
else is secondary.
The spirit thae animates this bank is the ground
upon which we invite your account.
