Freeport'a Third Banking In-
.stitution Haa Bright Future
in Growing Territory
WILL BRING IN NEW BUSINESS
To Hold Reception
The offlcers, directors and stock¬ holders of Freeport's third bank, the new Citizens National Bank of Free- port, are enthusiastic about the pros¬ pects for this new bank which will open for business on Monday, January 12. They point out that there is, as in every community, a considerable vol¬ ame of banking business which is han¬ dled by out-of-town banks, business which they believe, through their affi- iations will be brought into this new bank in sufficient amounts to make the business a success from the very sUrt.
The directors have selected as the corresponding bank in New York the National Park Bank, one of the larg¬ est in the country. This will afford the advantage of the ad^vice and aid of this old established banking institu¬ tion.
Beginning right, and up-to-date, a Burroughs bookkeeping system will be installed, also one of the largest bank¬ ing vaults in Nassau County, for safety deposit boxes.
The bank advertises "Fourteen Points" of appeal to our readers which are publiahed elsewhere in this issue, emphasizing No. 5 and 6.

Who Knew Freeport
Supervisor Hiram R. Smith writes from San Diego, California, that while making an auto trip through the Im¬ perial Valley he met a young chap who had been at Camp Mills and had registered in the "little book at Com¬ munity Headquarters at Freeport." He was from Kansas City, named Koester, He said that he often thought of the good cake and coffee the people of Freeport gave him, and more than that of the cordial maimer in which he was greeted.

Chief Williams was sitting at a ta¬ ble in t^e Elks Club wheii he heard the fire whistle blow. He took up a tele¬ phone and asked- "Central" where the fire was. Central told hini it was at the Elks Club. He replied: ''Quit your kidding. I am the Chief of the Fire Department aiid want to know where the fire is." Central replied she was not "kidding," that the fire call was No. 71, and the alarm came in from the Elks Club.

Firemen Active
With Small Blaze
Last Thursday evening the flremen had what might have been a serious flre if it had not been put under con¬ trol in time. Smoke was discovered in' the Baumann furniture store on Main Street, and it took some consid¬ erable time to locate the blaze, which was caused by a defective flue in the Roulston building, which the chimney had been placed right up ' against Baumann's building. With the ther¬ mometer around zreo the fire depart¬ ment answered quickly and put out the blaze by chemical lines, without using any water. The loss was set¬ tled Dy C. A. Edwards, agent, for $300.
About noon on Friday the alarm went off again, but evidently by some¬ body's mistake.
Again Friday night, early in thO evening, a call was sent in for the Elks Club House, where the wall had been set on fire in back of the range in the kitchen. This, too, was put out witb a line of hose before much dam¬ age had been done.

carried out the Christmas spirit thia , Saturday 27
year by voting to each of the 65 teach-' Sunday 28
,ers in the schools, the five janitors and the superintendent's clerk, a well deserved bonus of $50 each. The ques¬ tion of teachers making a living has been a hard one this year. Receiving salaries as small as $800 out of which they are expected to pay $12 a week board does not leave a whole lot for clothing and the movies unless some extra work is Uken tip during the summer time. It will be a necessity, in order to get tetchers next season, to raise compensations considerably or teachers will go into some other line of work.
