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.

Junior Red Cross
Program This Month
The Junior Red Cross with the help
of some of the ladies of the town is
going to give a program for the pub
lic at the Liberty Theatre on either
the last Friday or the last Saturday
in the month. The program will start
with a regular five-reel picture after
which will be shown some Junior Red
Cross slides. Mr. J. P. Hannon will
read a lecture concerning the slides
while they are being shown. Follow
ing the slides will be some folk dances
by the pupils of Mrs. Long’s room.
The next thing on the program will
be a style show, which Mrs. Ellsworth
will have charge of. The last thing
on the program will be some of Whit
comb Riley’s poems with living char
acterizations. The poems will be re
cited by different pupils of the school
and a living character depicting the
person described in the poem will be
seen on the stage.
There will be special music for the j
program, Miss Thelma Ellsworth be-j
iug in charge of this end. The school :
orchestra and several of the best mu
sicians around town are banding to
gether so that the music will be a
treat to the people of Seward. It. is
hoped that a large crowd will turn out
for the program as the money received
will bo used entirely to benefit the
children of the town, especially by
iixing up the playground. In the
last few years the Junior Red Cross
has added much equipment to the
school playground and they wish to
continue the good work until Seward
has a real playground for the children.
Don’t miss the program for it is going
to be a very good one.
