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.

British Potato Embargo
Is Protected by Senator
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 12 —
The British embargo on American
potatoes brought apeals Saturday
to several government departments
for cooperation in an effort to have
the ban modified.
Senator Hale of Maine, acting on
protests from Maine growers, called
at the state and agricultural depart
ments to discuss the situation but in
the absence of detailed information
action was deferred. At the same
time confirmation of the dispatches
telling of the embargo reached the
British embassy and the department
of agriculture. At the embassy it
was announced that the embargo
which applies only to England and
Wales, became effective December
23, but that potatoes then enroute
would be allowed to enter.
Puzzling Development.
At the agriculture department,
some officials, although hesitating
to comment in the absence of de
tailed information, said thov were
puzzled at the development. The Col
orado beetle, 01 the comma, potato
b g, the pest which the embargo is
aimed at, is he d by these officials to
be very easily controlled, and it long
ago ceased to cause American farm
tis great cone*.o Tim British
Isles, however Lave been free of the
beetle.
The department’s advices also de
clared that Canadian potatoes were
not included in the embargo and it
was pointed out that the beetle per
haps is more firmly established in
certain Canadian provinces than in
the United States.
Transportation of the insect to
England from the United States
would largely be accidental, it was
said by some officials, who described
the bug as a leaf feeder and as more
likely to be carried in green stuffs
than in potato sacks.
