turned his back on Balaam's Cross

the fragrant silence OF the pine woods.
Just beyond the Barony. which was
midway between Balaam's and. the
Hill, down the long stretch OF sandy
road he saw two mounted figures, then
as they drew nearer he caught the

ANN ARBoR BANKS PUT BAN
ON FLOOD OF SMALL CHECKS
Students Have Issued SO Many IN tae
Past That Extra Bookkeepers
Have Been Required.

FfaNS e~~'
ANN ARBoR, Mich, Sept. 2s.-The
Ann Arbor banks have at last adopt
ed measures to protect themselves
against the evil of small checking ac-
counts. Every college town knows
about the small checking accounts,
which are carried by banks, and the
local financial institutions have, In the
past, carried them without charging
anything for the convenience. Stu
dents coming here open accounts end
they proceed to issue cheeks at ev-
cry available opportunity. 1t is claim
that these accounts average less than
$50. and they remain in the bank such
a short time that they do not produce
any revenue. II is no infrequent thing
for students TO issue checks for
amounts as small as 20 cents, and few
OF them maintain bank balances large
enough TO make it profitable for a
bank to carry them.
So many checks are issued that an
average OF 1000 checks pass through
each OF the banks OF the city each
day, and every bank in the city has TO
employ an extra bookkeeper to take
care OF this small business. To make
this kind OF business profitable the
banks have adopted a rule that no
checking account for less than $50 may
be opened. and that when the balance
falls below that sum charge Of %
cents a month will be made. For peo-
pie who desire banking privileges and
are unable TO deposit $50 cashiers GER.
tificates will be issued but they will
not be SUI 'ect to check.
