tern is conducted upon a basis of trust and confi
dence. As long as this trust and confidence ex
ists, everything moves smoothly. But when
people fail to extend to their own home banks
the TRUST and CONFIDENCE they so evi
dently deserve, they kill and destroy the very
thing they should fight to preserve, namely
PROSPERITY in their county.
Most of the hysteria of the people has abat
ed; most of the shaken confidence has returned;
tw wpII rilared TRUST the people had in their
banks has come back. Let's all be boosters for
our.banks and get behind them squarely. bticK

every effort to the reopening of the ones that
were closed because of the loss of your confi-Hpnr.e.
"You all know the officers of the banks per
sonallyknow them to be good citizens, honest
Christian gentlemen. There was nothing to
fear in our banks which was in their hands;
there is nothing now to fear. Speak a good
word, be a booster and not a knocker.

CRIME TO SPREAD
RUMORS ABOUT BANKS
$500.00 REWARD OFFERED FOR
CONVICTION OF ANY PERSON
WHISPERING O R TALKING TO
DAMAGE BANKS
, The News-Record would like to call
the attention of its readers to a law which
makes it an offense to spread rumors det
rimental to a bank. Judges throughout
the State are calling this matter to the at
tention of the Grand Juries, and people
who say anything in regard to any bank
that may be damaging to the bank
whether they intend to damage the bank
or not, are likely to b arrested under this
law. Any person found guilty of such an - -offense
would find very little mercy in
any court The banking association -is .
offering a reward of $500.00 for the con-
viction of the first person for this off ense. , .
