Not A Butterfly
Money that has slipped through your
fingers in the last twelve months is
gone. You can’t recapture it again
with a butterfly net, because someone
else now owns it and enjoys its use.
You can, however, determine to bank a
part of each dollar you will earn during
this year. That is the first step in
building up a growing bank account.
A growing bank account means more
than more money. It means less worry
and greater independence for you.

- LARGE CROWD ATTENDS
LIEUT. BISSELL LECTURE
The large M. E. church was filled
last night by citizens who desired to
hear Lieut. Clayton Bissell lecture on
aviation, and tell of the purposes serv
i ed by the round the world flight of
| the four Army planes due to arrive
; in Seward April 5. The Lieutenant
S graphically portrayed the history of
■ aviation from the time the first heav
i ier than air machine left the ground
in Wright Bros.’ field, to the present
time. He described the machines to
be used in the coming trip and the
purposes of the flight, stating that
this would be the first all-American
flight ever made,—American motors,
machines and aviators.
The audience was greatly pleased
with the address, much that was new
to his hearers, being explained in a
manner that made it plain by the noted
ace.
Mrs. Schmitt and Mrs. Goodskey en
tertained the audience before the lec
ture with two violin and piano duets.
