It will not accept deposits but does business solely on its capital stock, loaning on personal property as security. Mr. R. D. Edwards of New Castle, Indiana, representing a company I which has organized twenty-two similar banks in the state, all doing a prosperous business now, has completed his organization here and the board of directors held their first meeting last night at the offices of Mr. Waring. The following committees were named; Location, furniture and fixtures—D. N. Erwin, L. C. Waring and Harold Conroy; To receive applications for manager—Dr. 1). D. Clark, W. A.

The list of stockr holders included many of the leading business men and financiers, with ’’ representatives from the three banks of the city on the board.

HAS NEW MACHINE (Continued from page one) The new machine, the case of which resembles a talking machine is a fine piece of furniture, as well as a useful instrument in the office. It was in operation today, and several pictures ware made, which easily demonstrates to a disinterested on looker how valuable it will be in the dental work. A BEBAN PICTURE According to critics “One Man in a Million,” the latest Robertson-Cole super-special release starring George Beban, which will be shown at the Crystal theater tonight is the greatest drama ever seen on the silver sheet. While a heart interest story, the picture also contains the proper amount of comedy relief. Mr. Beban not only wrote the story for the photoplay but produced and directed it as well. With him is an excellent cast including: Helen Jerome Eddy, Irene Rich, Lloyd Whitlock, George Williams, Jennie Lee, Wade Botoler and George Beban, jr„ the precocious five year old son of the star.

Doan's Kidney Pilis soon rid me of the trouble strengthening my back and ridding me of the pains and other forms of kidney complaint.” Price GOc, at all dealers.
