PULPIT'S ADVISE
PEOPLE NOT TO
RUN ON BANKS
LET YOUR MONEY STAY IN BANKS,
SAYS GOV. JAMES H. HIGGINS

T consider the the banks very unreasonable and
unfair The banks in this are my opinion in sound
and prosperous condition any in the country If the
depoors would only leave their money in the banks there
would be absolutely danger whatever.
No bank savings institution possibly pay out all
deposits without previous notice of these de-
poss invested in valuable securities order the
interest which is paid to the depostors.
There no disturbance whatever in business, and
trouble difficulty in banking circles of Rhode Island

system from Chicago to New York. II

straight line betweeR these two cities.
and yet on the map it appears TO pass
through every large town within 500
miles OF that line.
Just notice that towns like Cincln-

to appear only a few miles apart, aud
Nashville, Tenn. is pulled 500 miles
from Its real location. l wonder they
have not transported New Orleans a
thousand miles northeast, so as 10

confused. Mica is transparent min
sral. capable OF being cleaved into elias
tic plates of extreme thinness 1t is
transparent and is used like glass in

power of resisting heat makes it much

Of gelatin. 1t is prepared from the
sounds OF air bladders Of certain fresh
water fishes. The best deposits Of
mica in the United States are in the

Black Hills OF Dakota mica is found
near tin ore. but it's presence is not an
