All OF this win finally be paid for by
the crops. This shows again that the
farmer is really at the bottom OF our
prosperity.
AS one means of putting more mon
ely In use, the government has decided
to borrow s5o.ooO.o 900. giving bonds for
IL. These bonds can be deposited
with the government as surety, and
then Il win give the banks depositing
them bank notes. which can be issued.
Banks everywhere seem to have been
trying to get all the notes they can.
and this will help great deal.
One of the results Of the trouble
has been the suicide of Charles Z.
Barney, who was president of the
Knickerbocker Trust Company of New
York, the mismanagement of which
started the panic. Ii Is said that he
brooded over his disgrace and the
trouble he had caused. He was an
old man. and had been rich and re-
spected before the banks went wrong.
The panic has had very little effect
In Kentucky, and has not at all sha-
ken the confidence of people in the
two Berea banks. This is shown by
the amount of money which has been
deposited in them since the trouble
started. la the Berea Bank & Trust
Company. for instance. $9.7O0.22 was
deposited in one day last week. and
In the Berea National Bank, too. the
deposits have been coming as rapidly
as ever. IL is great comfort 10
business men and others here to have
two banks in which so much conf
dence is felt.

FINANCIAL SKY CLEARING
Worst Of Trouble Seems to be Over
About $40. 900, 900 Gold Brought
to This Country.

The worst of the financial trouble
which has been causing something
very like hard times all over the
country. seems TO be over. Secretary
Cortelyou, of the Treasury Depart
ment, said in New York that the
weak points had been strengthened,
and that the only danger was from
the fact that many people have a
tendency to take their money out II
the bank where It can be used, and
hide it away. This makes money hard
to get. and adds greatly to the trouble
His speech also showed that the eff
forts of some OF the men who have
been breaking the laws and have
helped the panic In hopes of soaring
the president into stopping the suits
against them. has faxed. MIR. Cortel-
you said that man who was found
to have been breaking the law would
be prosecuted, lie also advised against
trying to do anything too quickly by
new laws, saying that panic leglsla-
ton was as bad as the panic itself
Times got worse before they got
better A good many men have been
laid off work in some places. and in
California the governor has called a
special session Of the legislature 70

money trouble. About $70.000,000 in
gold has been brought i'm from Eu-

MONEY TALKS
What Is the Capital of a Bank7
How does the Capital protect Your

The money a bank holds comes
from two sources. First, there is its
own money. its Capital, which belongs
to the bank. Then there is the mon
ey which has been deposited with the
Bank for safe-keeping, which belongs
to the Depositors, and is subject TO
their order at all times.
But what is the capital of Bankg
Simply this. The Bank iteslf must
have Capital, or money Of its own. be-
fore the law will allow IL to do busi-
ness. This money, the Capital of the
Bank, is furnished by a large number
OF people who are called stockholders
These people are the bank, and the
money they put in is the Banks Cap
ital.
This money which the stockholders
put in cannot be drawn out, but must
be held by the Bank as a guarantee
to the depositors that their money.
which they have left in the Bank for
safe-keepiDg, win be paid to them
when they call for il.
Thus the Capital, which cannot be
drawn out, and the surplus (Which
will be explained in next weeks mon
ey talk form fund standing be-
tween the depositors and any possible
shrinkage in the value of the secur-
tiles held by the bank.
For example, the Capital of the Be-
rea Bank and Trust Company is fifty
thousand dollars, and the surplus is
ten thousand dollars more, or sixty
thousand dollars in all. and any posi-
Bile loss which the Bank may suffer
must come out of this fund, and not
out Of the money belonging to the
depositors. In other words, the stocks
holders, who are the Bank, would
have to lose all of sixty thousand dol
lars before any depositor could lose
penny.

Ole Thanksgiving
Pumpkins
BY GEORGE COOPER.

NLOBES Of gold on the upland lay

VI day.
Up the meadows the cows came slow
With bells a>tinkle and gentle low.
Tommy paused by the old stone wall.
Unromantic was he, and small.
What do they see, those twinkling eyesI
Floating visions Of luscious pies,
Flsky crust Of the lightest brownI
Smaeking his lips and looking down
Over the wall, he saw sight.
Pumpkins were stirring, left and right
Legs and arms had begun to sproutI
Tommy is too much amazed to shout
How they grin at him-how they stsrel
Straight on end stands Thomas hair.
"Hold j. he hears a voice outring.
"Tremble-I'm the pumpkin kinsl
Bind the euIPrit, foot and hands
Let him here before me stand.
Pumpkin subjects, commando
Cut him up in crescent slicesl
Chubby boy-I'm told it nice isl
Oft for him have we been sliced up.
Mashed and delieately spiced up.
Monster Of the youthful brow.
Turn about is fair play nowl
'Trice him up and slice him upl
Dig straiehtwsy an ovenI
Roll the crust Of wstered dust
Then this pie we'll shove in"

A new set Of coins has been issued
from the Treasury. The coins look
better than the ones we are using

criticism because the legend In God

that Il is often made the subject Of

M'G|LL TRIAL
IS LAID OVER
ATTORNEYS AGREE ON DELAY
OF ONE WEEK
Defense Anxious to Have Stenogra-
pher Detailed, but City's Funds
Will Not Stand the
Expense

Charges of incompetency and nsub-
ordination brought against William H.
McGill. clerk for the board of health,
were not brought to trial before the
civil service commission yesterday.
The big lobby of auditors was disap-
pointed.
Counsel John H. Foley and Isidore
Dockweiler, for the defendant, and
Deputv John Shenk of the city attor-
nev,s Office agreed on Tuesday night,
April %, for the date of trial
II was stated to the commission that
MANY witnesses would be called upon
TO testify and that at least four hours
would he consumed in testimony alone.
Arguments will also be lengthy.
Defense attorneys asked if the COM
mission would provide stenographer'
Attorney Shenk said that the funds
of the health department and OF the
civil service commission were over
drawn and the expense could not be
incurred.
"Possibly a stenographer from the
citv attorneys office could be de-
tailed" suggested Attorney Foley.
"Mr. Dockweiler has some compe-
tent stenographers in his office" re-
torted Attorney Shenk pleasantly.
Inc QeIeIlS6 NtIS SiNCil NAiS bA4'
lege of sending a stenographer If de-
sired.
Commissioner Young remarked that
as there was no appeal in this case he
did not see any pressing necessity for
a stenographer.
I'VE ask it merely for the benefit of
the commission, which may want to
weigh certain testimony. The trial may
last several days" explained Attorney
Dockweiler.
The board of health has already sub
poenaed the following witnesses: Dr.
L. NJ. Powers, John F. Nelson, r. A.
Brown, r. E. Drummond Mic Queiro-
10. Henry Self Dr. A. w. Moore, DR..
C. B. Dickson, DR.. j. H. Seymour, Will
liam Newell, George Miles, T. H. West,
S. H. Parsons and H. I. Thomas. Most
of these are health department officials
or employees.
No one as yet has been subpoenaed
by the civil service commission for the
defense, which neglect is looked upon
at the city hall as a move to gain
time.
The case will probably prove a lively
one.
The issue is between the Walter Par
ker faction. whom McGill represent
ed in the department, and the reform
element which Mayor Harper insisted
shall be in control and run the health
department in the interest of the pub
lie.

the harm done could not be effaced by
years of effort, even though we very
promptly resubmitted the bond issue
and it should be ratified.
The moment the great majority in
favor of the Owens river water is regis
tered at the polls every avenue of life
and industry in Los Angeles and en-
virons, every citizen of every class VIII
feel the thrill of greater prosperity and
more intense activity. The turning OF
the mountain flood into our city water
mains means the dumping of millions

AS a business proposition the muni-
cipal aqueduct will prove most prot1ta-
BILE. Indeed, many competent and con-
servative f1nanciers and business men
have told me that they would be eager
to finance the project for a private cor
poration. and that funds for its compile
tion on the plans now approved would
be easy to obtain.
The Owens river project has been
managed from the first by men VINO are
above question, and 1 pledge myself
to do everything in my power to hep
continue it's administration in like man
ner. that it may always be boon and
a benefit to our people. The publicly
owned city water works has been a
magnificent success from the first; in
fact. no municipal enterprise in the

duct, still more important, will only
multiply the -ictories for the people of
