SAVINGS ACCOUNT CHRISTMAS PLAN

First National Bank Through Landis System Slants Four Hundred New Accounts. Probably no plan o 4 bank Savings accounts ever Struck the community with such spontaneous popularity as the Landis Christmas Savings plan recently adopted by the First National Bank. Upwards of four hundred accounts were started, in many cases each member of a family opening an account. The scheme is based upon three plans, one, two and five cent accounts. In the first plan the depositor places 1 cent in the bank the first week, 2 cents the second, 3 cents the thin! and so on up to the fiftieth week, when he deposits 50 cents. At the fiftieth week he has deposited $12.75 and on or about the 10th of December he will get it back along with 3 per cent interest for the average amount the average time. The 2«jent account figures twice the amount as the 1-cent account and the s«ent account figures five times as much. If all of those wtho have taken oqt accounts keep them up until Dec 10th there will be disbursed by the bank at that time about. $20,000. In Lafayette this year one bank paid out about $120,000. It proved a great thing for the merchants and to a great extent solved the plan of Christmas funds, because the money had been saved in small amounts during the year. If desirable at the end of the fifty week sto retain the money in the bank Instead of drawing it to spend, a regular savings account can be opened and the start secured through this meager plan may be the meanfi of starting any one on the road to permanent thrift The plan is still open, new depositors simply paying the accumulation up tto this time. The bank officials have been much gratified at the large business received and hope within the next week or ten day® to increase the number of accounts to five hundred. Children, middle aged people and old people have become interested and there will be a lot of money saved during the year in ■these small amounts.

Christian Church Revival.

True to prophecy, Sunday was one of the greatest days in the tory of the Christian Church of this city. Large crowdls were in attendance at all the services, especially in the evening. Every available piece of space in the large ibudlding was occupied and a large number were turned away, unable to gain entrance. The sermon of the evening was on “Booze,” and the speaker said in part: Even though I .have never known the taste of intoxicating liquors, yet I feel I have an absolute right to speak u'pon (this subject, and to Strike my blow against the nefarious liquor traffic. I Wave a right bedauise I am an American citizen, and duty bound to strike at anything injurious and harmful .to the interests of this country. I have a right because I believe in the sanctity of the home, and must attack anything that would destroy this bulwark off our nation, I have a right (because I am the young man’s friend, and the enemy off thait which would drive him to defeat and hell. I have the right because I love my fellow men. I have a right because I, too, have suffered- In the past; beeause Of Its vileneSs and fearful ravages. That time has come when every man of any intelligence must commit himself and take his stand u'pon this mighty issue. The day is here when every political party in our land must take its position upon the quest bn I don’t know what I am politically. Some people have called me a republican; others have said I (belong to the democrats; others have placed me in the socialist ranks, and some few have gbne the limit and 1 placed me among the bull moosers. Be that as it may, I feel like shouting, all honor to the old democratic party, who set the temperance move in motion dn the rook-ribbed republican south. And how it is Spreading. Were Ito (turn prophet (Or a moment it would be to say that in a (few years we shall drive the hellish saloon into the bottom off the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, Where it belongs. we hear a little piping voice risking in the midst of all the tears, sorrows, broken hearts and from as, saying, we must have the saloons for business reasons I issue tonight ■a sweeping challenge to show mw one instance wherein the saloon has ever helped business. On the contrary. It has increased the taxes and made conditions so much harder. It is. the cause of 90 per cent of .the crime, pauperiv-and insane in -our -country. We must put our hands down

HONORED CITIZEN CROSSES THE BAR

William Smith, Aged 84, DM Sunday at. Bom* of His Daughter, Mrs. Hiram Day. WHlfam Smith, aged 34 years on Dec. sth, and since 1880 a resident of this city, died Sunday morning at 4;15 o’clock at ttoe residence of his daughter, Mts. Hinam Day. Mr. Smith was born in Ohio in 1830. He moved to Indianapolis in 1657 and .was married in that city to Miss Elizabeth Wilson in 1860. In 1869 he moved to Remington, where he lived until 1880, when he came to this city. For many years he wtae engaged in the carpenter trade and he has helped to erect many of the bouses in this city. He was an honorable man and always had the highest respect of the people of this city. When the inflrmaties of age unfitted him longer to work at the carpenter trade he engaged in gardening and marketing vegetables throughout (the year. His strength did not fail him until last when he began to deVljne and he was soon too feeble arid the health of hi® aged wife too frail (for them to longer live in their ■home and they went to tfye home of their daughter, Mrs. Hiram Day, where death came to him at the hour stated.

He is survived by a widow and (six children, namely, William C. Smith, of San Pierre; Edward E. Smith, of Chicago; Theodore Smith, of Gillam township; and Elmer B. Smith, Mrs. Hiram D(ay and John W. Smith, of Rensselaer. Edward Smith, who i-s a member o>f Tent No. 180, Knights of the Maccabees, of Chicago, .was deeply impressed when he received a beautiful floral offering from the older as a tribute of sympathy on account of the death of his father. The funeral will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the late residence and burial will be made in Weston cemetery.

Charity Board Needs Should Receive Financial Aid.

The demands upon the Board of Associated Charities have been much greater the krSt few weeks. What we need now, to prevent further and more intense suffering, fs a liberal backing by the citizens of Rensselaer. No regular appeal bas been made for this cause for two years. The fund then raised by most careful handling has lasted until the first of this year, but the board is now quite handicapped. The whole plan of the organized charities is so varied and apparent that it. -seems strange there are yet those who fail to grasp the extent and importance of the work. We not only give material aid to mother and child, to sick father and helpless ox feeble old ones, but try to eliminate Cause and build up forces which later on may decrease the need. We make mistakes, try pa (best we may, but I am sure, could you see the gratitude (diown to the good-hearted people off Rensselaer for comfort and aid, you would be more than repaid for all you put into it. One off our enterprising merchants, meeting, a member off the board and handing a generous bill, said: “Our work can’t be done without we all help. I want to give yOu this; iff you need more let me know.” Follow his worthy and commendable example. He a good citizen and businessman enough to know we couldn't run this .work without money. Don’t let another day pass before you write out a check payable to William Day, treasurer Bd. of C., and hand to Mr. Halleek, Rex Warner or Mi. Day. v,./' We need it, we need it noy. We need it bad.
