This is truly a grand showing for the people of Johnsburg, who have every reason to feel proud of the success attained. After all, it only goes to show what can be accomplished In unity. How­ ever, to attain unity perfect harmony mu6t prevail and that this is the case in Johnsburg, especially in our church affairs, has now been proven beyond a shadow of doubt. The pastor is also rejoicing with his flotfk and he wants it distinctly understood that he thoroly appreciates what the good people of Johnsburg and the vicinity have just accomplished. He feels grateful towards those whose labors made the fair the success it turned out to be and also to the public in general for the part they took in the affair.

Limited responsibility is usually the aiin of the proprietor of a business in seeking the prote&ion of incorporation. The big difference between a private banker and an incor­ porated institution is the fad: that the private banker is per-f f sonally and individually responsible for every dollar entrust­ ed to his care. ; This company seeks no self protection, for its methods are so conservative that every transaction is safeguarded by sane judgment as ^ell as ample resources.
