UNIQUE BANKING METHOD.
Giro System Of Hamburg Does Away
With Use Of Checks.

y
try of the Giro system of banking
in Germany. This system has been
in use in the state of Hamburg
since the establishment of the
Hamburg bank in 1919.
An account is opened in the usu-
al manner, and when payments
are to be made the payer instead
Of preparing a check merely in
structs his banker to debit his ac-
count with the sum involved and
to credit Richard Roe's account
with Il like amount.
If, however, payer and paycc
have their accounts IN different
banks the payer then requests his
banker to transfer the amount in
question to the bank of the paycc,
with instructions to credit Richard
Roc's account with the amount Of
the indebtedness.
Convenient blank forms are pro-
vided for making these notiiica-
tions. When the banker receives
an instruction of this character,
saws the Boollkcepcr, he in turn no
titles Richard Roe Of the payment
TO his credit and the name of the
payer.
In Hamburg the Reichsbank and
five important banks use the Giro
system. Representatives Of these
banks meet several times daily at
the Reichsbank, where transactions
between their several customers are
cleared. In Hamburg very little
material money is used in eifcctlng
transactions, the habit being to set
tie all obligations, even Of the most
insignificant character, by Uber-
weisungszcttel. When payments are
to be made from one city to an
other this is done usually through
the Rcichsbank, which has 500
branches. more or less, throughout
the empire All transactions are
undertaken without cost to either
payer or pavce, and, on the con-
trary, deposits subject to this modi-
fled form Of checking usually draw
l per cent interest per annum.
The advantages of the Giro sys-
tenn fall partly under the head Of
security and partly Of convenience.
Danger from forgery is eliminated,
as the notification sent to a banker
by payer could not by any posi-
bility be utilized advantageously by
criminally disposed persons. The
only Inconvenience to be observed
arises from the fact that receipts
for payments are not acknowledged
on bills as rendered, unless such re-
ceipts are specially sought by mes
senger after the bank exchange has
been made
1t is customary in small local
transactions for Il payer to note at
the foot Of bills the date Of pay
ment through his banker, and in
case Of possible dispute the bank is
always prepared to clear up msun-
derstandings. Concerns doing a
large volume Of business and
obliged to make numerous pay
ments daily are spared the annoy
ancc Of preparing hundreds Of in
diyidual checks, as they have
merely to write out q list OF names
and amounts on long sheet, which
they send to their banker.

"That editor is certainly getting
hard to suit" the author remarked
in a discouraged voice, gazing sadly
at a heavy envelope upon his table.
"What is the natter" asked a
cheerful friend, who gets a regular
salary.
"Oh, he returns this story with
the comment that it is too bald.
Last week he wrote that he didn't
care for stories of the hair raising
kind. What can you do with man
like that %-Lippincott's.

What "Mayor" Means.

The word mayor is all Angeliciza-
ton of the Norman term maire. 1t
was introduced as title for the
chief magistrate of borough or
city in the reign of Henry II. King
John first granted the citizens of
London the right p of electing a
mayor annually. The prefix of lord
and the style of right honorable
were conferred by Edward III. in
1854. For a long time thereafter
York was the only other English
city having a lord mayor, but in
recent years the title has been ex-
tended to numerous provincial
cities.--London Scraps.

The rlippopotamus.


Next to the elephant the hugcst
beast in point Of bulk and weight is
the hippopotamus. One White Nile
specimen measured fourteen feet
three inches from snout to tip Of
tail. The crocodile never ventures
to attack the hippopotamus, which
for its part diSdains to attack the
crocodile. Although, like the rhinoc-
eros, this monarch Of mid-African
rivers is not carnivorous, it is very
formidable to man, being easily pro
voked and assailing the object Of
its resentment with reckless fury.
It can upset the largest boat and in
one instance perforated with its
tusks the iron bottom Of a steamer,
causing a dangerous leak. The
flesh of the hippopotamus is always
palatable, and when the animal IS
young it is delicious. The skin
makes excellent turtle soup The
tusks were formerly more valuable
than those Of the elephant, being in
request by dentists because they
never turn yellow.

CLAIM TOO old, IS
KIMBALL DEFENSE
WIFE WILL FIGHT THE ACTION
STARTED BY LODGE FOR
RETURN OF INSURANCE
MONEY.

Larimore, N. D., Jan. 4.-The statute
of limitations will be the weapon used
by Mrs. Clara Kinrball to fight the ac-
ton commenced against her by the
Ancient Order of United Workmen of
South Dakota for repayment of insur-
ance money paid on the life of Glen
X. kinlball, the Deadwood banker who
recently returned to his wife after
fourteen years absence.
An answer has been filed by Mrs.
Kimball to the complaint in which she
admits that the man who returned to
her home near Larimore last July is
her husband, the man whose body she
supposed she had buried many years
ago and over which she caused to be
erected beautiful monument.
Fraud was alleged by the complain
ing insurance order, but Mrs. Kimball
denies any fraud and says that pay
ment was made through mistake of
fact. She contends that the statute of
limitations bars the plaintiff from re-
covering at this time. KimbalI is now
at Oklahoma City, Okla.

COAL PRICES JUMP.
Demands Exceeds Supply in Certain
Grades.


Duluth, Mimi, Jan. 4.-The price OF
Youghiogheny lump and Hooking, and
smokeless bituminous coal in whole
sale lots was advanced is cents a ton
yesterday The scarcity of the COM
modify is given as the cause. but the
prices are still below the usual level in
these grades under like conditions at
this time Of the year. The demand is
greater than the supply. The price of
screenings is not affected.
Last spring when few wanted soft
coal, and many institutions that use
the commodity were idle. the consump-
ton was at very low ebb. The sup
ply was greater than the demand. In
consequence soft coal sold at unprofit-
able prices, and in some instances be-
low cost of production. Later an ac-
tive resumption of business and manu-
featuring set in, and the mining bust
ness especially became remarkably ac-
tive. The consumption Of soft coal by
the latter interests overran original
estimates, and all this, the coal barons
say, with a car shortage to be reckon
ed with in the producing regions, made
Ii impossible to provide for the re-
quirements in the latter part of the
season.
Few of the coal companies were
able to meet the sudden demands. Ar
ter the close of navigation it develop
ed that there was a substantial short
age of soft coal, especially of the
Youghiogheny grades 1t has led to the
advance of prices TO about the average
normal level.

WESTERN TOWNS

MILWAUKEE, RAILWAY COMPANY

Mitchell, S. D., Jan. 4.-The country
west of Mitchell is short OF coal. At
Plankington, Mount Vernon, oacoma,
Vivian, Presho and Draper there is not
coal to last more than week, and it
IS being given out in small quantities.
Mitchell dealers who have a line of
yards out that way, have from rs to
100 cars Of coal each on the way from
the east but can receive no assurance
from the railroads when Ii can be de-
livered.
The fuel situation in Mitchell is en-
barrassing the electric light plant.
which has been short of coal for three
weeks and has had to depend upon the
local supply. This has run short and
the company has been forced to shut
down on the day service to save it's
fuel for furnishing lights at night.
The company has seven cars on the
way, bur in three weeks they have
been moved only fifty miles by the
railroads.
Seventy Towns at Low Point.
La Crosse, Wis., Jan. A coal
famine affecting seventy towns and
villages along the line of the Southern
Minnesota division of the Milwaukee
road is reported to have reached a
serious climax and the return of cold
weather is expected to result in suf-
fering.
Messages to the division offices
here say many towns have been
without coal for several days, while in
Others the supply is so short it cannot
begin to meet the demand.
Failure to secure sufficient engines
to move the coal is given as the cause.
