You Men on a Salary You can earn more money, and still keep your same position. You can increase your income by just laying aside a certain amount each week. Sit down tonight and liure how little von can (sret alonv; on, then deposit the rest of each week's salary in the South !3end National Bank at 4' interest. Think of it, we pay for the privilege to Protect Your Money from any loss by fire, theft, .or carelessness, which often causes sorrow when money is left in your home. You will begin to be successful as soon as you begin to save money regularly. This is the whole secret of success. Whether you work at 60 for money or money works for you then, is entirely dependent upon your present sacrifices.

Council Committee Hears Protest Against Gilmer Raise From Civic Clubs. The ordinance providing for an increase in salary of the city jude from 1. SOU to JJ.SOU resulting from the state legislation making the city court a civil court with additional work, and the ordinance proposing nher clerk for the c.ty contro office at an annual salary of $1.200, were again deferred by the member. of the common council sitting as a committee of the whole at the city hall Tuesday night. j Local and out of town automo- ! bile owneis will be probably pro- ; hioitecl from parking their cars I within six feet of fire hydrants soon.

"ivir Club lialk C.ilnier ILai-o. Walter Erler, who claimed to he : representative of the fetleratevl ciic societies, interrupted the meeting of the board last night to express the sentiment of the societies against the increase in the salary of the judge. Mayor Frank 1 1. Carson stated that he was in favor of the increase for the judge in view of the fact that the legislature has made It incumbent upon the .nidge to try civil cases involving not more than 500. Twenty-six of thfe cases have already ben tiled with the city court, each one requiring probably a day to try them. The main objection to the salary increase, according to the councilmen, is the belief on the part of the Iiihlic that when the saloons clos? their doors in April, the business of the city court will be lessened. Ju.lee Gilmer replied to this I'V stating that he usually disposes of 10 drunk cases in 15 minutes, hut it Io the other criminal cases in addition to the civil actions which art being filer! daily that are taking his time from S a. m. to 3:30 p. m. daily with a salary at $ 1 .
