What Is Your Idea
Of a auk?
The following is our idea of what a
bank ought to be and what this bank's
fixed policy is.
We cater to no one class. We serve no
special interest. We seek only the legiti
mate banking business of all classes of
honest men in this community.
We are neither so big as to despise or
discourage small accounts, nor so small
as to accept undesirable business just
for the sake of more accounts.
If you believe that this kind of a bank
ought to be your bank, come in and talk
it over.
You will receive every courtesy and
accommodation consistent with sound
banking. _

piano. The hoys had lute music and i
were good musicans.
Thirty seven women are aboard th<
transport from foreign ports going to
the states. Seven women with their
husbands are from service in China.
Among the marines aboard the
transport in port during the night
were those who have seen service at
Vladivostok for the past three month .
• These marines report that the Czech
; Slovaks are fighters from tin* ground
j up. The Czech . or as the marines pro
; nounee the name, “checks”, were from
itohemia and at the start of the war
were pressed into service by the Aus
trians. Over r»00,000 deserted when
fighting Russia and fought on theside
of the Russians. When Russia tinn
ed traitor to the Allies and sided in
with the Germans, the Czech started
for Siberia ami formed their own com
-mands and fought against tho Ton
j ton forces. I'eforo the Allies recogniz
ed the Czechs in Siberia, the Germ
ans, thousands being around Vladovo
stok and other parts of Siberia, start
ed their propaganda against tho Al
lies. The Germans massed and capt
ured many Czechs. One company of
‘Germans captured f>0 Czech about la
miles from Vladivostok. The Germans
cut off the ears of the Czechs ami oth
erwise mutiliated them, then sent
j them along the railroad to their com
| ratios.
What did the Czechs do?
One body of Cz«*chs had -’>0 Germans
as prisoners. They lined tho Germans
up. forced them to dig their own
graves, then killed them.
One U. S. Marine stated that unless
one is actually at the scene, no idea of
i the bitterness between the Germans
and Czechs can be given. That men
could mutiliate one another in such
fashion almost seems increditable.
The Czechs are well armed, well
trained and thorough soldiers.
About 1 .">.000 are now in Vladivo
, stok the remainder having moved
eastward and fighting tho Red
Guards, which are Russians under
German officers.
According to those aboard the U. S.
Transport, Japanese are being landed
! at Vladivostok at the rate of ’*000 to
.'*000 about every 48 hours. The little
1 brown men are well equipped and are
soldiers every inch of them.
Mile after mile of the roads out
Vladivostok is Iincm 1 by crated auto
mobiles, machinery and other war si.p
-plies. Warehouses are filled with
foodstuffs and now heinp used by the
Allies in Siberia.
About two weeks before the trans
port sailed from Vladivostok, the Ho!
sheviki sent an armored train towards
the city. There were no lonp ranpe
puns at Vladivostok. Two larpe pun;
were taken from the British cruiser
Suffolk, placed aboard flat cars and
an armored train had just been com
pleted when the transport sailed.
As one of the marines stated: “thi:*
Allied vrmored train has by this time
blown t\ Holsheviki armored train
to smithereens.”
The Filipinos are anxious to pi t
to Siberia and it is stated that from
10,000 to 15,000 may have been al
