One man and
his town
A man by himself is just— one man.
Multiply him by hundreds or thousands
or millions and he becomes a town or a
city or nation.
If he gets on in the world so will dozens
or hundreds or thousands of his asso
ciates. If he fails, so will a greater or
less number of others—for no one man
can succeed by himself.
Because of this fact of human nature
our bank exists to help you succeed.
You are invited to take advantage of
this service.

Two Michigan Men
Offer Johnson Aid
RENO, Nev., Jan. 10.—(AP).—Wal
ter Johnson, Washington American
league baseball pitcher, who, accord
ing to reports from the East today,
had been offered financial aid by
two Ann Arbor, Mich., men to help
in purchasing the Oakland, Cal., club
of the Pacific Coast league, admitted
today that he understands such ne
gotiations were under way, but said
he was not in a position to discuss
the matter.
“I have an offer and am consid
ering it,” Johnson said, and he fur
ther explained that the Ann Arbor
men were the only persons who
could talk for publication. “I do
not know whether they have nego
tiated with Cal Ewing for the pur
chase of the club, nor whether Ew
ing wants to sell,” Johnson ex
plained. ‘‘Any announcement must
come from these men. There may
besomething for me to say in a
few days, but not at present.”
Johnson admitted today that he
also had been approached by Salt
Lake businessmen, regarding taking
over the Salt Lake club of the Coast
league, but that nothing had been
done other than to ask him if he
would consider the matter and that
| he had not even given them a defi
nite answer.
These Salt Lake businessmen,
Johnson said, had expressed a desire
to have a conference with him, but
they never had made any arrange
ments for such a conference.
Ewing Denies It.
OAKLAND, Cal., Jan. 10.—(AP).—
The owners of the Oakland club in
the Pacific Coast Baseball league
have heard from no one regarding
the sale of the club since the recent
unsuccessful negotiations with Wal
ter Johnson, Washington pitcher,
and the club is no longer on the
narket, J. Cal Ewing, principal own
er, said here today.

The child labor bill is a step in the
right direction. Why should the little
dears be made to work until they are
18. By that time they will not know
how, and pa and ma who learned to
work early and late will be too old
to refuse to administer to their com
forts. There is more claptrap and
slapstick over children nowadays than
is good for them. If work ever hurt
a child some of our prominent men
of the past generations would have
been useless.

There is a great lesson to be learn
ed from the little republic of Switz
erland. With a population of less than
four million and its 16,000 square
miles of territory bounded by four
countries which were engaged in the
world and other wars, she remained
in peace and preserved her neutrality.
This is due largely to the fact that
she has minded her own business and
has not tried to impose her ideas on
the rest of the world. Many nations
would do well to emulate her exam
ple, and reform themselves instead of
trying the experiment on their neigh
bor.
