PUBLICITY FOR BANKS
IS NECESSITY NOWADAYS

Should the bank advertise? The con-
servative says no" The old-time bank
er. with the traditions Of his high call
ing. still up9ermost. says no" The
economist says no" Is conservatism
always the attitude which forbids? True
conservatism merely holds in check
against extravagances and radicalism.
II does not mean IN this particular in
stance. that the bank should never ad-
vertise. For the very banker whO
frowns upon advertising as advertising
is willing 10 puf lish a statement CON
tanning the capital stock Of the bank
and the names OF its officers. This IS
publicly advertising.
As TO the question OF advertising itself
II IS well for all 20 remember that the
bank has been regarded as a mysterious
thing until within the recent ten or If
teen years. Indeed. the money campaigns
educated the people as 20 the nature and
function OF the bank as they had never
been educated before. II publicity Is
right. and the Government itself de-
mands that a certain degree Of publicity
shall prevail, then Is II not right TO put
the hank before the people in the proper
light? Ia fl not right that a business
which demands the degree OF trust
which is required Of men who entrust
their savings 70 another for care and
use should stand out in a clear light be-
fore the people? Is II not fair that when
a bank has certain qualities Of strength
they should be made known?
The direct returns Of the advertising
may never he quite apparent. as they
are in other lines of business. sAs TO the
matter OF economy, there need be little
said The bank cannot afford 70 lag
behind because Of saving a few dollars
OF expense. What il should work for of
course. is the building UP OF the whole
banking Hcheme: that is. IT should work
20 build up banking first and by this
means profit as a bank.-Bankers'

HAPPINESS IN NUMBERS.

Addluons 10 the number OF the human
race are popularity treated as If they
were an undOubtel benefit. We see
every nation and every community
within a nation, down to a village lust
planted on prairie, regarding its own
Increase as something TO be proud OF.
The eagerness with which cities watch
each successive census return for a rec
orc Of their population is familiar and
nowhere so familiar as I'm this country.
But is the increase OF the race anv
gain 70 the race? The population OF
Europe is probably three or four times
that Of North America probably twenty
times. as large as II was two Centuries
ago. This proves that there is much
more food available for the support of
lIe, much more production OF an sorts
OF commodities, and in particular an
immense Increase in the area 81 land
used for producing food and with an
Improvement In the methods OF extract
ing food from the land. So the growth
OF a city like Boston or Chicago yroves,
that there has been an immense frcreaS.
In industry Men work harder Or or
any rate more efficiently and have far
more appliances for production at their
command Whether they lead HAMMER

Sudden Jump of Telephone

two surprises last week that. while not

Suddenly buyer appeared on Thursday
OF last week, and on a willingness TO
buy all the odds and ends in sight the
price bounded up to near 80 and held
firmly. No special reason was given
for the movement except the usual one
that Il was worth more. AS II has not
paid any dividends since April, 1892, il
is thought that some good fortune along
that line Is in store for stockholders.
The second feature Of greatest inter-

the paramount one, was the sale of a
