When one determines to save a portion of his income whether it be
large or small, and lives up to it, he begins to feel that he is a factor in
the business and social life of the community.
MOST OF THE SUBSTANTIAL MEN OF TODAY
attribute their success to the habit of saving acquired in early life.

ONE DOLLAR WILL START AN ACCOUNT
! in our Savings Department on whieli interest will be allowed at the rate
of four per cent, per annum com-pounded quarterly. .
Deposits made between now and March 5th .will bear interest from
1st March.
Commercial National Bank
By Associated Press.
Washington, D. C, March 11. m
connection with the report of the sen
ate committee on military affairs on
the Brownsville riot, made to the sen
ate today, the president transmitted
a message in which he said the facts
set forth in his order dismissing the
negro soldiers has been substantiated
b ythe tetimony before the committee.
He recommended in his message that
time for reinstatement of the discharg
ed soldiers, .which had expired, be ex
tended for a year in order to permit
the president to reinstate any of the
lischarged men who did not fall within
the terms of dismissal.
Senator Warren presented the report i
of the committee on behalt ot the ma
jority, and Senator Forakcr the views
?f the minority.
There were four reports from the
-ommittoe, the majority being signed
by Senators Warren, Lodge, Warner
OuPont, Taliaferro, Foster, Overman,
rrazier and McCreary. The minority
eport was signed by Senators Forakcr,
Scott, Bulkley and Hemenway.
The majority report found that in
the oninion of the committee the shoot
ing was done by some of the soldiers
belonging to the 25th infantry; that
the testimony fails to identify the par
ticular soldier or soldiers who partici
pated in the affray.
It is stated Hint there is consider
able contradiction in the testimony,
but that, taken as a whole, and recon
ciling it wherever possible, it proves
the case outlined in the majority decis
ion. , ,
Senator Foraker's report declares
that the testimony of eye-witnesses
against the negro soldiers is not relia
ble and that no motive for their alleg
ed connection with the affray has been
hown; that testimony is contradic
tory and not sufficient to sustain the
charge and that weight of evidence
shows none of the negro soldiers par
ticipated in the affray.
A sm-mlemental report by Warren,
3 Lodge and Warner declares under the
evidence it is not reasonable to oeneve
all the soldiers were concerned and
recommended the restoration of tliej
innocent ones. 1
Senator Scott takes the position that
it has been impossible to ascertain
who did the shooting" and recommends
that the negro soldiers be restored.
Many of the readers of this
have received through the mails
a small card blotter on which is
printed a suggestion regarding
Savings Accounts for children.
An intelligent understanding
of the saving and proper use of
money is one of the underlying
principles of good citizenship,
and the understanding may be
best acquired by the actual
handling of money on some sys
tematic plan.
