•'The Trail of '28" a drama based
on the Alaskan gold rush is the
Webb feature again today Shown 1
here yesterday, it prewed to havi
all the merit the critics have uni
versally given it. It is one of the
big pictures—a drama of action,
set against the harsh and cruel
background of the. northern snow
clad wilderness. The physical as
pect of the picture is immense
meaning the scenes of natural phe- ,
nomena—the snow storms. the I
snow slides, the frigid winters, the i
hardships It is a very tine picture. 1
Hoot Gibson is Saturday's star in
"Burning the Wind."
•‘Sunrise'' on for a second day’s
showing today, is one ol the most
boosted pictures of modern days. It j
is a great emotional drama—a study (
of moods. Janet Gaynor. the star
of "Seventh Heaven” plays the lead, j
and lives up to her reputation. It >
is the crowning work of a master |
producer. Fred W. Murnau. And
George O'Brien is completely sat-!
isfying in the male lead. It is n
picture in a hundred; maybe In a
thousand. Fox produced it. and it
has played the big time all over
the country to the acclaims of mil
lions. Tom Mix and "Tony'’ hold
the centre of the stage tomorrow. 1

Can We Count On
Your Cooperation?
THE strength of this bank is the
,vork of many hands. Our depositors,
perhaps more than ourselves, are re
sponsible for the prestige and steady
growth which we have enjoyed.
What one friend has told another
friend about the treatment received
here, has been the all-important factor
in gaining for us a constantly widening
circle of influence and service.
After all. a bank is strong not mere
ly because of its capital and resources,
the wealth in its vaults; but also be
cause of the number of active, inter
ested friends which it can number on
its “roll-call.”
Therefore, we want you not only to
do your banking with us, but if you can
induce a friend to bank with us as well,
you will be favoring us doubly. Can
we count on this cooperation?

THE NEW
Spring Coats
Are Different
Cut on plainer lines, the are richer,
simper, and more elegant. The designs
hark back to a former day of plainer
cut, but the materials are modern, the
combination giving a disinction that is
new and appealing.
And the same thing, to a modified
degree is true of the new spring dress
es.
Come in and see the new things. Our
racks are filed with them, and you will
be charmed with the variety.
And you will see the new Millinery
too.
