that take place in a city they will see That
ell Of them are affected by checks on

such things with. Their business Is done
with checks. Some money is used for
raging lahCr. but IT is paid out Saturday
nicct and deposited In bank again the
next Tuesday or Wednesday, and the
same money is used again the next Sat-
urday night for the same purpose.

Is good at par all over the country will
not do for him. because all Of it leaves
him for the commercial centres. There IS
only one way in which he can have the
cash money he needs and that is TO be
allowed his local banks of issue that will
