THE REASONS FOR THE CLUB
To provide a way for those of moderate
and even small-moans to bank their money
To teach "the Banking habit" to those
?who have never learned it
It makes your pennies, nickels and ditiies,v
often foolishly spent grow into, dollars;
.dollars grow into a fortune. Start your ?
fortune today.
To give you-a Bank connection and show?_ j
. you how our Bank can be o1 service to yoi;.
FOR OLD AND YOUNG
Tin* sensible thing for all parents to do
is to join our Christinas Banking Club and
also put every member of tlieir'family into
it. This will teach them the value of mon
ey and how to bank ajnl have money.
Maybe this little start you give them now
may soine (lay set them up in business or
buy tkem si licime.
How often have you wfshvd that your
parents hail taught you early "the value of
*? banking your money. You -wou'il be well
off today.1 Don't make the same mistake
with your children.

Gaston B7"Means, who was tried for
his life for tho murder of Mrs. Maude

given to the Jury lato Saturday after
noon and the verdict rendered Sunday.
The war revenue act has been so
amended as to take in the salaries of
Congressmen. T hi. s is the right spirit.
There is no reasosn why everybody
* else should pay the tax and the legla
lators go free.f , s '
. The United States Congress has
passed a ressolution adopting a con
?tJtutlonal amendment for National
x Prohibition to become effective when [
ratified by the states. It gives sevd.i
years for the state? to talte action.
Congress I? beCxfg asked to pat a tax
on dofcs in the interest of sheep rais
ing. It is a good plan and should be
done. On account of local feelings it I
seems impossible to get the State Leg
islatures to do so, and it will bring
about a great protection to the public
as well as a big protection to all who
wish to raise sheep. Lets hope they I
will pass the bill and put on a big tax
that will eliminate the worthless ca
nine.
WAR SAVING ^CERTIFICATES.
There has been a great rush all over
the country to purchase the new War 1
Savings Certificates issued by the U.
^-..Government. No such saving prop
osirfrfa has ever been''made by a gov- 1
era men t to its people, and every man
?aoman and child in Franklin countyi
ought to take advantage of it. These
certificates are better t'hai^ the 4 yel_?
low back" gild ceriflcates, for they
bear' interest and are redeemable at
any time at any money order pqst of
lice In. the. United States. In other
words tiwy may U3 called interest J>ea;
ing money.
To Uluitraic, you go to the post of
hco or bunk and for $4.12 you receive
a Treasury Certificate for 15.00 pay
able Jan. 1, 1923 which represent/
what you have paid and 4 per cent in
terest compounded quarterly. But
you do not have to carry it that lon^
unlem you so choose, for you can go to
any post office at any time and get.
wbat you paid with interest ad Jed
according to table printed in the
back* of the Certificate. The right to
"cash in" at any time in absolute an.I
unconditional, the only provision belns
that the post mar,ter may at his dis
cretion require ten days notice.
They haTe the further advantage >f
being non taxable.
In addition to all this they are the
safest property on earth for they have
behind them the power, honor and
faith of the United States Government.
Besides these Certificate* tnere may
also be obtAin?d at the post office and
banks War Savings Stamps worth ,25
cents each and a thrift card to which
such stamps may be affixed until they
amount to $4.00, when with IjC cents
additional the card may be exchanged
for a $5.00 Certificate descried above
To acord everybody equal ohance
lot this upi? ndid investment, no one
person or coipciation will be allowed
ti buy more than $1000 worth of the3e
j Certificates ?Ld not more than $100
worth may be purchased at one time
' They will be -.n sale until Jan. 1, 1919.
, SCHOOL COLUMN.
?-1. The School Column will be pub
i i. Thee school column will b
{.published weekly. Xotices, In
struction and general information to
teachers, committeemen, attendance o t
i fleers, betterment associations and all
people interested in school work will
??be found in this column in t!ie Frank
lin yimes. Items of interest In any
school district will be gladiy publish
ed. for%illustration. if you have a sue
I res.-ful school farm, or your school
house has been recently painted, if you
have secured enough wood to last un
til sprint; or have a perfect'attendance ]
and etc. write it up ior the column
Ttiis -.vil! bring before ee<*n school din
: trict the good things the others are
doing and will create a^frlendly an.l
1 healthy rivalry. Items will be receiv
,ed not only from teachers but from
I any person interested in the progress
land growth of our schols. In order
for the school column to serve Its pur
pose it will be necessary forthe- teach
qta to have access to the Franklin -
i Times.
2. The schools will open the 31st of
i December. We are making the holiday
i a* short as possible for every day lost
during the winter months will mean
| that much time lost for most of the
! large? boys ?3 they will have to leave
'school during the early spring.
I 3. How many committeemen were
prepared for this unexpecrec cold wea
ither? This is eertainly one of the I
|mo3t Inportant duties of a commit-!
| tee Figure what It will cost to clos',
your school on account of fuel and yet .
lit Is certainly a wante of time and
money to attrmpt to run schools when '?
the teachers and children are not com*
fortable. While the teachers are will
ing and anxious to help in this prepa
ration it is an outride doty and (he
everyday duties of the teacher will
keep her busy every day in the week.
The 31st of December the school/com
mlittteemen should be assured that suf.
ficient wood lir.s been prepared for each
school until the spring. If the money
apportioned by the Board of Education
for tills purpose is not sufficient I be
lieve thecommltteeipen will find
eifough men in each school community
that will either haul or give wood to
run the schools. At least 50 per cent
of the committeemen do not find it
necessary to use this sum for wood*
(thq patrons^urnUhlng it) but for
other school purposes. I call atten
tion to this fact as the question of fuel
in some of the districts is becoming "to
be a serious one..

SUBJECT?SALT.
On Dec. 3rd we had a car of
salt to arrive in Richmond, and
were advised by phone that it
would arrive at Louisburg Dec.
5th or 6th. Acting upon this
information we caused several
notices 'o be ?laced in the
FrankliW Times advising our
friends, atyd customers that we
had a carSof k alt, thinking of
course, that Vne salt would be^ A
here, before\ihe paper went tp*
press.. Lat? on we were ad
vised again/Br phone that a
draw head iiackheen pul'ed out
of the car/on Vhe Richmond
yard, but that vt would surely
be in LomsburgVwithin a few
days, so aping upbn this advice
we allowed the notices to~ re
main in the paper another
week. . About the time thfe salt
should have been ?sold, out, we
iVeifr again advised by phone
that the car had been wrecked
on the Richmond yard in mak
ing a shift., and that the con
tents had been transferred To"
another car- Before we receiv
ed this message we wired Mr.
Hoover informing him of the
salt famine in this county- and
also wired the Seaboard author
ities o' the action we had taken.
It affords us-great pleasure
to announce that this car has
been reported at Franklinton,
