The Nation’s Strength Emerson says: “The strength of a nation is not in the number of its battleships, nor in the number of its forts, but in the intelligence, thrift and industry of its citizens.” It’s true. America today has the intelligence and the industry. Will she add the thrift? A good deal depends upon you. Are you saving money? Are you in the thrifty class? An account at our Hank will not oniy add to the Nation’s strength, but will also strengthen you. START SAVING TODAY The Peoples Loan & Trust Co.

SHAW TELLS ABOUT IT South Bond. Ind., Jan. 31—" Buck” Shaw, football tackle and champion shot putter, and one of the eight Notre Dame meu to confess playing; in the 1100,000 Tuylorville-Curlanvlile professional football game, told of the participation of the South Bepd athletes today. “At first only two of tho Notro Dame men planned to go, but at the last minute eight decided to muko tlie trip," Shaw said. “Arrangements! were not made until the day before | leaving. “When wo got to Taylorville and saw how big the game really was, v/e were going to back out. At a meeting though, we were told that the toiyti people had a lot of money up on tjie game and would probably loso it unless we played, so we decided to go through. We were sick of the whole thing before we got into the game. "We played to win, but didn’t upe the shift and run most of our plays from kick formation. Eddie Anderson played quarterback for the first time in ills life and we used a sub on his end. The man who did our passing had never passed in a game bofore. Illinois used its shift and Us entire backfield.” General satisfaction was expressed here over tho fact that Johnny Moliunit and fins Dcsch, the two greatast Notre Dame athletes, had been cleared of any participation in the game. * CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank tlie neighbors and friends, and the Rev. C. L. Hanqy. for tlie kindnesses shown and t|ie words of sympathy exenrted to us .at the time of our recent bereavement. All were greatly appreciated. MR. AND MRS. RAY SMITH AND CHILDREN.
