History of the First Bank Of Ligonier

- Mier State Bank began with the business transactions of Solomon Mier about the year 1856 when the people, having gained confidence in the young man, began to leave their surplus with him at his store in Ligonier and received in réturn certificates of deposit. In the latter part of the6o's Sol Mier entered more extensively into banking and hisplace of business became known as the Banking House of Sol Mier. On January 1 1960, the men who are now the officials of the present institution associated themselves with the late Solomon Mier and the Banking House of Sol Mier became known as the Banking House of Sol Mier Company. On June 15 1905, The Banking House of Sol Mier Company qualified under the State law and became Mier Stateßank, thereby being the OLDEST BANK in Ligonier, the LARGEST BANK in Ligonier and the FIRST STATE BAINK in Ligonier. The reasons are evident as the Mier State Bank has always been known as the “Old Reliable” and the “Bank of Secrecy” where no outsider knows your business. The standing and responsibility of this' old institution are the very highest and the depositors have always known that their business was not alone safe with the Miér State Bank, but that business entrusted to its care was unknown to the public, and the results are that the Mier State Bank has depositors in all parts of the state, who do their banking by mail. There are names on the Bank’'s books today that were on the books 50 years ago. Children’s children continue to bank with the “Old Reliable.” : If not a customer why not join our large family and become one of us? We will extend to you all the courtesies and you can always get any accommodations you might meed from the Mier State Bank. Remember the bank Known as ' .

TAKES ISSUE WITH EDISO!

Here is One Man Who Does Not Be. ¢ lieve the World Will Give ’ Up Sleep. : o

' Mr. Edisori says sleep is a bad habit, and that we shall some day get over it. Like drinking and smoking, it is to be among those things which we ‘shall try in time to give up on the first of the year. He says people called him crazy when he said electricity would ‘supplant all other motive power in transportation, and one therefore hesiy tates to say that he is crazy about anything. However, we will hazard a 'guess that if he is off his box anywhere, it is with respect to the pleas, ant custom of indulging ourselves in a good sound snooze. How else we are to refresh ourselves from the day’s work we cannot imagine. The trouble with this objection, as it applies to Mr. Edison, is that he doesn’t think we Are wearied by the day’'s work. He and some of his associates worked at something for a given period of time 21 hours a day, and they all gained ‘weight! He leads us to infer that it is Wwhat we do when we are not working that wearies us. Thinking over it briefly, we believe there is something in that. Probably half the things we de in our leisure time is very hard work. The celebrated tired business .aman is only tired when his wife wants him to go out somewhere after dinmer. It is the opera and the fox trot ‘that wear him out. Still, think of giving up sleep! If it is a habit, it is a nice one. We have got some glimpses of what Mr. Edison means when we Jhave tried to sleep in a chair car, but given a feather bed and a soft pillow, 'we don’t get him at all. Last night, for instance. Wasn't the habit delicious last night?—St. Louis Post-Dis-patch.

NATURAL MEANS OF DEFENSE

‘Possibility That Another Generation ' of Fighters May Utilize Thelpr . - Whiskers. -

Here is a war comment from George ‘W. Monroe, the comedian: The Russian army has one advantage over all other armies, and -that is ‘whiskers. It has an entanglement of whiskers that nothing can penetrate— Dot even lyddite, shrapnel or slugs. A Russian soldier’'s whiskers are not the flossy kind that toss around with ‘every passing gale. They are so durajble that when he falls on them he does not even bend them; he drives them into the ground. The only time a Russian soldier is in danger is when he turns the back of his head to the en:emy. The other armies may have the best tactics, armament, discipline, spirit and patriotism, but the Russian ‘army has the chilled-steel whiskers. . The most difficult job a Red Cross ‘nurse has to perform, after the Rus{slan army has finished an engage,ment, is to comb the bullets and shells out of the soldiers’ whiskers. " Fifty years from now, when the next .great war is fought, it will not be a ‘question of rapid-firing, long-range ,Buns; it will be a question of whiskers. The world will ask which army ‘has the best whiskers. Whiskers will ,decide the battle. Nations will no longer waste money in buying big :guns and testing them. They will .grow whiskers for national defense ;and they will test an army’s eficiency ‘by drawing up a company on the parade grounds and allowing a husky .coal heaver to go down the line and hit each soldier in the face with an ax. Whiskers that won’t make the ax beunce will be sent to the rear as unfit for the firing line.

Carnegle’s Busy Life.

Andrew Carnegie is seventy-nine years old. He was born at Dunferms line, Scotland, November 25, 1835. He ‘came with his family to the United States in 1848, and settled in Pittsburgh. His first work was as a weaver’s assistant in a cotton factory. ‘He later learned telegraphy and took up railroading, in which he advanced until he became superintendent of the Pittsburgh division of the Pennsylvania system. He joined Mr. Woodruft, inventor of the sleeping car, in organizing the Woodruff Sleeping Car company, gaining through this the nucleus of his fortune. Mr. Carnegie. later became identified with the steel industry of this country. He has given libraries to many towns and cities in the United States and Great'Britain, and large sums in other benefactions. His favorite benefaction is the Cam negie hero fund. .

Why He Stopped the Train. - When a passenger train on the Big gour railroad, between Springfield and ellefontaine, stopped at a crossroad pear West Liberty, 0., because & frightened horse had become ens tangled in a wire fence, the passengers could not understand the delay. Philip Henn, conductor, was asked by @ Dassenger why he had stopped the train, inasmuch as the engine had not gruck the rural mail wagon of Hilbe Yoder of West Liberty, the owner of the horse. “The people of West Liberty rescued me from the flood of March 25, 1913, and saved my life: When I see anyone from that town or vieinity in trouble, I'll stop and help them out no matter how fast my train is running.”—lndianapolis News. .
