AS more banks have been organized I'M

The growth in national bank notes in
FIVE years has Increased their amount

Calculating How Far Country Can

FEAR FURTHER EXPANSION

Is the boom in national bank organiza-
ton. which has taken place within the
last fire years, with the consequent eK-
panson of national bank circulation. in
any wise a menace 10 the financial sta
bility of the country?
There are some very expert people in
the Governments financial service who
do not hesitate TO say that they be-
neve there are grave dangers attending
the unlimited expansion of bank note
circulation. They do not believe these
dangers are as yet serious. They be-
leve the country Is able to absorb all the
bank note circulation that is likely to be
issued on the basis of the present bond
ed debt
But if the Panama canal bonds are
made receivable as a basis for bank
note circulation. as is proposed 20 be
done by the coming session of Congress,
then. these same experts intimate. il is
,aossible that the way may be opened 10
further expansion that may be of queS-
4onable propriety.
The boom in national bank orsoniza-
ton since March, 1900. when the law
passed permitting national banks TO be
organized with a capital of s25,ooo or
more, instead OF the minimum of 500. coo
capital that had been prescribed prior to
that time. has been a most remarkable

CHEERFUL HOMES

y cheerful happy home is the greatest
Safeguard against temptation for young
people. Parents should look backward
into their own early years; read their
pas; lives over in II rational manner and
draw thcrefrom sensible conclusions in
rr@"rl to the uphringing of their own
offspring. Stern parents forget how So
vcrr'y the StrictucHsS of their own PlrcrtS
chafcd them, and how many resolves
were made to net differently should kind
fortune ever hy>t"w Il family upon them.
Thrv forget how many Of the forbidden
pleasures were secretly enjoyed. Is ii
10, better 10 make home attractive. no
matter how plain homc may be- Young
people do net stop 10 think of elegance:
oh. 10; it is the place where the most
enjoyment can be found.
Allow your children to bring their
friends into their homes, AND make them
welcome when they come. AS far as pos
sihlr have popular music, new period
icaiS. good books and g;mnCs 1t may
cost money. but it is money spent in 81
cool cause. Little dances and informal
entertainments. with light refreshments
of simple character, keep the young
people from seeking outside amqlSementS.
which are. perhaps. of II less innocent
quality. This requires some unseliiSll-
ness on thr Icrt of the parents and much
self-dcnial in many ways but the rc-
ward is great. BY Keeping in touch with
the Young the heart is kept young.
Let parents realize their own youth
was not far back after all. and renew it
by giving their children all the pleasure
which it is IN their power to hcstow, and
finding their reward in seeing the happi,
ness of their children.
