One of the British the press is reflected in the countless delegates said : "The impression was editorials which followed the travelers' most favorable; the beginning augurs return. Typical of the comments is well" and the other states of Europe the following, from the Dallas Journal: "How many of us grubby folk know sec~ to have absolute confidence in that dinosaurs laid eggs?

Common sense is the one thing that has been absolutely lacking in Europe-and America-during the last four years. Every nation has been ~uided hy every policy but common sense. Had we common sense we would have seen - France" Italy, Greece, all the rest of us-that the course we have been pursuing leads straight to chaos, and to that destruction which General Dawes sees is not far off. He wants now to use common sense and see where all present policies are leading, and begin to set all Europe on its feet. the only method of saving any one of its states. of Mongolia under t of the American Museum of Natura l History have di scovered a whole nestful of dinosaur eggs, twenty-five of 'em, to be specific, and they say that the value of the eggs is priceless. Their evaluation will not be challenged. For these eggs are big as moons , compared to those of the in~ dustrious hen of our own time, and they are past the possibility of deterioration , since they are fossilized and are estimated to be 10,000,000 years old. " Old King Tut, it will appear, lias no sort of monopoly on relics of antiquity. This lay of the ancient dinosa ur antedates the Pharaoh's time by age and epochs. As an exhibit from a primeval past it will stand in a class to itself. The exhibit is made even more impre sive by the addition of tons of fossil remains which were found in the Asian desert. "That the di covery was due to the courage and determination of the men who comprised the scientific expedition need not he stated. But an interesting revelation is that it would not have hcen possible without the aid of that modern of moderns, the automobile. Motor cars penetrated hundreds nnd hundreds of mil..:s into regions tll at had never scented the odor of ~asoline, following with ease the trails which had bPen made by caravanq of c<>mels. The leader of the ex'>edition, Mr. Ro: ~ hapman Andrews, ;~ quotrd as having sa id that all of Mongolia is accessible by motor car, and that a new field for commercial exploration and development has been opened. "From which it may be seen that great possibilities may be hatched from dino aur eggs. Commerce is a follower of the flag, we ha ve been told. Rut it may also he said that it follows the explorer in the name of science." Who's Behind It? Any business is merely the reflection of the men behind it. In the banking business this is especially true. If a bank's directors are among the leading n1en of their c01nmunity; if their honor and integrity are unimpeachable; if their business ability is widely known and respected then you can safely call the bank they represent "a good bank." In searching for the reasons for the steady growth of the First National Bank, you need only one look over the following list of directors and recall the.ir policy of conservative progressiveness.

Long expeditions on the skis and thrilling rides on toboggans featured the hike, and the Scouts met with scores of hills with every conceivable variety of jumps, turns, slopes, and dips. Whenever a Scout negotiated one of the slides successfully he was promptly acclaimed by his fellows for the feat. Franklin Bowes succeeded in getting the most bump , although six of the boys nearly rivaled him when they undertook to descend the highest and steepest hill in the valley on a toboggan. Approximately midway down the hill the toboggan hit a shoulder of a big snow drift and the riders were thrown fully 20 feet down the hill, while the gliding vehicle rushed on down the hill onto some rocks where it was partially damaged. None of the boys were injured. Scout Bozo was elected president of the "Bonehead Cluh" during the trip when he qualified by going in to town to buy 150 pounds of coal and forgot to take the sled along with him. Another member of the club tri d to jar open a frozen pump by running his sled into it. The boy will recover.
