THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, TZS Where do You Keep Your Valuable Papers The whereabouts of your valuables is nobody's business but your own, and for that very reason they should be placed beyond the reach of meddling persons, thievas, or elements which compromise their security. Use a safety deposit box in your nearest branch of the Standard Bank. It is the most convenient method of keep- ing documents, jewels and other small objects of value.

Mr. Cooper also went into detail with respect to the organization of the championship school fair. Th;; con- vention was very much intprestod in his address and he was asked a num- ber of questions at the close-, which he very readily answered and was also interrogated privately Tjvith .regard Lo certain details by representatives of Fall Fairs who are interested. It was generally acknowledged' that Grey has taken a leading paYt in the intro- duction and development of the school fairs, and Mr. Cooper's remark's on the subject were much appreciated. PRAY FOR US DURING OUR FEBRUARY SUBSCRIPTION COLLECTION CAMPAIGN I Purdy. I remember all the pioneers from The evangelist w.as ju-st finishing one of his services, "Let those in the hous& who are paying their debt?, stand up!" he cried. Presently every man, woman and child, with one ex- ception rose to their feet. The preacher asked them to sit down again." Now every man not paying his debts now stand up." The one exception assumed a perpendi -ul- ar position. How is it, my friend, asked the ev- angelist, "that you are the only man who is not meeting his obligations?" "I run a newspaper," he answered, and the brethem here who stood up are my subscribers, and â€" " "Let us pray," exclaimed the mini:;t- er. with Mr. John Wright and was a skill- ed workman. He was a member of the Independent Order of Forester? and was a member of St. John's Unit- ed Church.

RADIO EPIGRAMS It is better to give than to receive, but it requires more expensive app- aratus. All speches and no jazz makes '.he radio set a dull toy. Antennae wise and sound foolish. Fools rush in where the angels fear to broadcast. Early to bed and early to rise makes a man miss all the grill-room orches- tras. One good turn deserves another. You can tell a man by the station he keeps. Two head sets are better than one. Distance makes the heart grow fonder. '< ADDITIONAL LOCALS Mrs. H.
