Apparently the Jerseys have determined to look after their share of the honors, as weH as see that the south half of the county is represented, since Mr. Mosser lives east of Geneva, in Jes ferson township.

1 «Mzaon> TO REDUCE A MORTGAGE l Christmas is happier when that j mortgage, if there is one. Is reduced j • annually. The easiest way to do it is to deposit each week' under our j Systematic Savings Plan. Suppose, ) for example, that you join our $5 a j week club. Next year you could reduce the mortgage by S2OO and still have about $54 to spend for Christmas. Perhaps you can rave even u more this way. Consider it.
