ADDLED ADDAGE CONTEST TO
START NEXT WEEK IN NEWS-TIMES
FIFTY DOLLARS IN GOLD TO BE GIVEN AWAY FOR CORRECT ANSWERS TO EIGHT PROVERBS AND BEST
ORIGINAL ADDLED ADAGE—JUMP IN!
One of the Trtggest contests ever conducted by an Amherst
newpsaper, with $60 ln cash a* prizes, and everyone eligible to
enter, will be started in the next issue- of The Amherst News-
Times. It will continue over a period of eight weeks, and already
interest Is intense, even before the nature of the contest has been
made known. It differs from th> ordinary "popularity" contest,
as there 1b no chance for unfairness or any trick which previously-
has been a drawback.
The contest has been termer! an "Addled Adage Contest." It
Ib made up of eight proverb-pictures to be printed one each week,
beginning Sept. 25 and continuing through the Issue of Nov. 13.
These proverb pictures have captions, which apparently have no
meaning. The contestant, with a little effort, however, will be
, able to change words and letters about so that an old saying or
proverb Is plain. A sample proverb, with Ihe answer shown, Is
printed ln this Issue—merely to show you how to do it.
To the contestant producing the correct answers to the eight proverbs, together with the best original proverb
to be made the alst week of the con-
teat, will be awarded first prize, and
there are nine other prizes for next
best entries.
The prizes are as follows:
Plret Prlae $60.00
Second    10.00
Third         6.00
Fourth        3.00
Fifth     2.00
Sixth to Tenth Prizes $1.00 Each
How to Enter the Contest.
Anyone may enter. The only requirement is that the contestant must
subscribe to this paper, either as n

Herman bank, the change In nume lining made about two years ago. It had
u capital then of $50,000. When the
stnrt was made, William H. Schibley.

only ones in charge; the force now
Includes, beside these two. Fred llogrefe. Miss Christina Ilruce. Miss Kd-
na Menz. and Miss Elsie Schultz. an.l
they are kept busy.
From the very start of the concern
It has kept pace with the growth «of,
the community, and even now. it hopes
to continue and pass many "million
marks" as time goes on. With the
acquisition of factories by Amherst,
the bank's service to the public ever
becomes larger and more appreciated.
Influential Officers and Directors.
Last January, in order to better
serve Its customers, the bank about
doubled the size of Its quarters, aad It
now compares with any similar institution in a town or this size. Its officers and directors are among the
most influential men of the "omniuii-
Ity. They are: E. H. Nicholl. presl-
dent; Oeorge Holsteln, vice president;
W. H. Schibley, cashier; A. G. Menz.
assistant cashier; Jacob Raus, L. P.
Lei-sen. und M. C. Kendelgh.
A. G. Menz, who was interviewed
this morning, gave much of the credit
for the growth of the institution to
William H. Schibley, who has been
at  the helm since  the start  in  1»07
"We try to live up to our motto,
'Safety nnd Service,' " said Mr. Men:;.
"These two points are most important
with us. Not all realize that we actually do offer, ln many respects, even
greater safety than do the hanking institutions of the larger centers, but II
is true. And in regard to the service
accorded our customers, the big towns
cannot offer u similar service—personal service.
"We are indeed proud of. our growth,
and promise to continue to give our
best efforts In the hope of continuing
and surpassing the showing already
made."
Park Bank Statement Good.
The statement of the Park bank, a
newer Institution, also shows many
gratifying figures. In deposits, in sur
plus, and in all vital items, the figures
show a great increase over the report
tamed In addition. District Superintendent Smith has stated that the
locnl church would be lucky fo get
nny one at all. The Congregational
church also has been looking for s
good minister a seurce nrticle at this
time.
Rev,   Hunter  Wanted   by   Both.
Rev. A. A. Hunter, who recently
returned from Prance, is wanted by
both churches? Rut as it Is linpossi
ble for the Metohdlsts to puy the salary Rev. Hunter wishes, und he is unable to go to the Congregational
church because of being a Methodist
minister, the trustees of both churches
have come to tl»e conclusion thnt "he
best plun Is to consolidate.
The consolidation would uffect both
churches in many ways. Members
have questioned whether or not any
of their Individuality will be taken
from them. The two churches have
nlwnys heen strong in this community
nnd many of Ihe older members of
both denominations hnve feared the
consolidation. If the plan works out
the way the trustees wish, there will
be no loss of individuality for either
church.
The Plan.
The plan that has been worked out
is this:
The two churches will unite for
worship. The morning service and
the Sunday school will be held in the
Congregational church and the evening service and Young People';' meet
lng will be held In the Methodist
church.
Ench church will retnin its own
membership and new members will be
taken into the church of their choice.
Renevolences, such as missions und
the like, will be taken cure of separately hy ench church and paid to
their respective societies.
Two-thirds of the salary of the minister will he paid by the Congrega
tional church and one-third by the
Methodist church.
A  board of trustees will be elected
with a large congregation than to have
two struggling groups. It is hoped to
build np Ihe combined church greater
and stronger than either of the two
churches were. New members wish
lo be added lo the rolls of both
churches and Interesting meetings ure
to he hehl nt short Intervals. The
combination of the two choirs should
produce one of the finest groups of
singers   in   the  community.
Organizations   Separate.
The organizations of each chun-h.
such us the Ludles' Aid society and
the Woman's Korelgn Missionary society, will be run separately Each
will hnve Its own president nnd will
keep going  the sume us usual.
The trustees of both churches will
meet in the near future to work out
several small mutters thnt ure liable
to cai.se dilliculty and settle nil de
tnlls  connected   with   the  merger.
