Bert Moser thinks that he is sim
gularly unfortunate victim of the pres
ent hard times and striugeucy in the
money market. Early in the summer
when the panic first manifested itself
and money began to get scarce a bank
in Kansas City, in which Bert had de-
wall with little hope of it ever paying
any dividend. This experience very
naturally soured and disgruntled Bert
with public banks, and he determined
to run bank of his own, handle his
own money and take care of it himself.
So he stored away his nickels and
dimes in a little safe which had been
presented him some time before and
the bank prospered from the start.
The deposits constantly increased and
all went gaily on until one day last
week when Bert went to make a de-
post, he couldn't find his safe. 1t was
gone and an extended search failed to
reveal the whereabouts of either the
safe or the money. Some one had ev-
identity effected an entrance into the
house without making any noise and
the safe and it's contents
to his own use. A few days afterwards
broken pieces of the safe were found
scattered around in an adjacent yard,
whspe they had probably been strewn
by the thisf after appropriating the
contents. Bert says how that no more

his money when he gets it and have
the fun it will bring. No more banks
in his.
