Not so fortunate wort the cooks in
. the hear rooms of tha raff. The bugs
invaled their field of activities, and by
mldaight.tbe tafee were forced to alos
."to await the, rising of the sua to drive
them away
The Department of Agriculture, which
forecasted an invasion of locusts thst
never anattrialiicd, seems to have slip'
ped a cog, as never a btnouiing word was
said about the eomina;oj,kes bugs,
which settled down like one of the
- pestilences that botlieted old' Pbaraohi
. Terhaps these were city bugs, eoraa to
a real cits', and that was the reason th
department dids't bother about these
kind.
Bill McDovitt, of Kinston, who la an
authority on hugt, says these bopping
bags ara Matured from tin green clover
worm, which has started sura have re

ad put thluga out of business for
while. Like some city folks, they aecm
to liko the eonatry ia their youth, but
in their maturity they hit for the
towns.

Bebcrt L. Owen, of Oklahoma, speak-

Nations Association here tosight, de
plored tha delay in signing the peace

Senator Owen declared the covenant's
obligations were "moral" aad that ar

Of political integrity and mskes military
sutocrncy impossible. The promises of

"My dear Colonel Woods: I am writ
tut this ta euggest that yea bring all
the discouraging lnfloaaee you eaa to
hear niton the practice 'which has grown
up here aad titer la tka country of
employing men strtl wearing the ani
form or the army ta peddle npon tna
publie streets. Th Adjutant General
of tha army, when appealed ta by tome
employer, replied properly that the ae
pertinent bad na legal rigbt to inter
fere with such employment by tis
charged men, but . obviously every
sound eoaaideratloa ia against tha prae
ties, for these ea-eoldier are, ia maay
instances, -emploved to fieddle more' or
less worthless do vices aad articles, and
sometimes, indeed, very, shabby napert
snd mementoes of a pseudo-patriotic
character, with th plain expectation
thnt their uniform aad their recant
military service will appeal ta the enar
ity of nassersby. This bring the
whole quest isu ot tka anifona and of
the splendid serviea wkich anr spldiers
hsv rendered th conntry iato disre
pute, and teem ta imply that th
country ia failing ta pravld suitable
snd proper plsee of amployment for
discharged men. Tha work wkiek yeq
are doing has cooperated in placing
agencies--throughout tha conntry la
tuoh fashion thst discharged sol.liers
can find profitable aad aasful employ
ment, and I heartily w1an that the
people of the country could b induced
to advise the young mea they find
peddling boon th streats ta abandoa
suck a dead-end employment and seek
a more productive job, as well aa one
which has in it for them the oppor
tunity of growth and progress.

.Profiteering
Very near U the meanest word in the
ENGLISH language (Wa. have never
learned GERMAN, and never want to)
is tha word PROFITEERING. If it did
ifiot sound VULGAR, we would say, tha
profiteer deservaa to be spit upon,
Once breakfasting hi a Restaurant, we
overheard a Gentleman, who sat next
table, berating the waiter. After the
Gentleman had gone, and the waiter
came to our table for service, we took
occasion! to remark, "George, the gentle-1
man gave yoa a pretty thorough "ONCE ,
OVER." ?Yea.M George replied. bt ,
don't you forget that I got even with"
him." We ventured to inquire "HOW," ;
and George replied, "I spit in his ,
Coffee" If we had our say, GeorgV
, should sens Breakfast to every profi
teer. -
This leads us to remark, how few in
stances, if any, we have heard of Profi
teering among the Bankers. .
THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK
charges just tha same price for money
that we have ehargtd for MORE THAN
THIRTY YEARS. ABSOLUTELY we
have never shared ia any BONUS, COM
MISSIONS or RAKE OFF.
So lonr as the STATE RATE of JN.
TEREST is SIX PER CENT
THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK
will observe a clean straight SIX PER
CENT discount rate.. Naver a Far-thin
f more. Nor do we REQUIRE that a cer- fr
.J tain per cent of tha LOAN remain to the
f"9 a at 1 a
credit 01 ue Borrower, enough some
times this ia done, but it m NOT a RE
QUIREMENT.
The STATE INTEREST LAW regu
lates the rate of Interest and namea SIX
PER CENT. OUR OATHS AS NAT
IONAL BANKERS, require us to ob
serve and obey the ssme rate of Interest
legalized by the State, and before we
will "Whip the DevO around the Stump"
we will surrender our charter, go oat of
business and nail up the front and back
door with 20 penny nails, and hang out
a card emblazoned
ICHABOD.
Bear these facta in mind,
THEY ARE FUNDAMENTAL -THE
FIRST NATIONAL BANK
PAYS 4 PER CENT ON SAV
. 1NGS
AND SELLS YOU MONEY AT A
STRAIGHT
DISCOUNT RATE OF 6.
