Government Helping the Banks"

Editor The Georgian:
Your journal of October 7. I'm
der heading THE Government Is
Helping the Banks" puts banks and
bankers before the reading public
in a false position. The bank of
which | am an active officer does
hold on deposit moneys belonging
to the United States government.
We are obliged to pay 21-4 per
cent interest on this money, sub
ject to call at any moment-a very
different proposition from a time
deposit. The government however,
first effected a good bargain for
themselves, i. e., we bought and left
with the United States treasury to
secure deposits United States gov
eminent bonds, paying per cent
interest on their face value. but as
the bonds cost a premium, we really
obtain only 2.S5 per cent on their
actual cost
A bond for $1,000 pays 8 per
cent ..... ............. $4,000
Money of the government
deposited against a 81, 0s

bond with premium cost 81 $4,000
Money on deposit ........ 429.5O
Shows net tied up........$ 590.50
Which pays only $2O.34, or say 3.44
per cent per annum
Any country bank in my neigh
borhood can loan all its money at
8 per cent, hence when we loan the
government at 3.44 per cent we are
paying 456 per cent for the pres
tige and privilege of being a United
States depository of public funds.
Surely when we have more money
invested in government bonds de
posted with the United States
treasurer than the amount OF mon
ey in the bank to the credit of the
government, the difference becomes
a net loan to the government.

Mountaineering in Italy-Explorng the Pennine Alps

tn HE attractions which cause
men, often at the risk of their
lives, to negotiate mountains
which to the inexperienced and less
courageous would seem almost in
accessible are very composite.
The mere healthiness of the pur-
suit no doubt attracts many. Again,
there is always pleasure in over
coming natural difficulties by ac-
quired skill, and the feeling that by
doing a thing in the right way real
risks can be greatly minimized is
in itself alluring. But there are
real dangers which can not be who'll
ly eliminated even by the most
skillful climber. Unexpected diff
ficulties are apt to occur-a storm
or gale Of wind may get up, ava
lanches are prone TO fall. especially
in spring and winter; falling rocks
and stones are another source of
danger, while the cause of many
accidents has been due to the in
sufficiency of practiced guides
But, broadly speaking, the expert
enced mOuntaineer who is eff
GENTLY equipped as to boots, alpen-
stock and guides for his expedition,
and who exercises proper judgment
and precautlon. is not in much
greater danger than we who dodge

Two MOrtals
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.

D ILL BARTON was a great big child,
- Who went through life and made it play
Never to labor reconciled
He laughed the feeting hours away
He Knocked the king and helped the slave
This man for some strange purpose born
And when they took him to his grave
few true friends were there to mourn
What of it?
Will Goodman was another sort
With lips so thin that they could bite.
He never cared for smiles or sport;
He worked from morn till late at night
He never knew the one real thrill
That comes to him who helps a friend
thousand watched his grim grave 6ll
But not soul depIored his end

XXTHEN we have an idea we
wv either invent a word to eX
press it or else we borrow
one The best use of ideas is for
gift purposes. We keep ideas by
giving them away And only
through formulating thoughts for
another do we make them our own.
Language, like electricity, is for
purposes of transmission.
In the last issue of The Century
Dictionary will be found the word
"Zeitgeist." 1t is a German word,
now naturalized and accepted as an
American citizen.
The word Zeitgeist means the
soul of things 1t means that great
mass of opinion, ideals, hopes and
tendencies that men in the mass ac-
cept.
We are all partakers of the Zeit-
geist. Any man who thinks thoughts
that are original and belong only
to himself will die of heart hunger,

Nostalgia We are happy only
when we are expressing the best in
the Zeitgeist We only succeed as
we live in the Zeitgeist.
We Have to Explain.
No one understands US. save as
we explain to them the things they
already know, but which perhaps
they do not know they know until
we tell them
The arts of speech, sculpture,
painting, literature, are all endeav-
ors to interpret the Zeitgeist. When
mans head is in a certain stratum
of spiritual atmosphere he knows
all the thoughts of other people
whose heads are in the same STRAIT
UNI. If you are on my wire when
| ring, you respond.
In the Zeltgcist there are de-
grees of subtlety just as in sound
there are vibrations which to some
ears are never felt. There are tints
and shades that are observable to
some people and not to others.
We are influenced by the Zeit-
geist. Also, we are helping to form
the zeitgeist.
A man may die and drop out of
the game, but the Zeitgeist lives
on and on. And the influence that
this man has eXerted on the many
still endures because they are prod
ucts of the Zeitgeist.
The present Zeitgeist is of a kind
unequaled in history. We have
thousands upon thousands of men
and women who are thinking great
and noble thoughts and expressing
these thoughts in their work. Many
of our big business men regard
themselves as public servants.
Our people are sensitive, rest
less, alert, impressionable progress
sive. and making for Righteousness.

religion than now exists is allowed

Cooking Often Kills Germs.

You may eat thousand with
out contracting disease, and the
thousand and oneth may stretch
you on a sick bed or take away your
life. Luckily, oysters are extremely
good when cooked, and if they have
been sufficiently cooked the germs
that they often carry are killed
Later in the season, as DR.. Wiley
points out, the danger is elimi-
mated or almost eliminated, and
during the winter oysters. if they
are freshly taken from their beds,
may be safely consumed raw. The
reason why the danger is so much
greater in the early autumn months
is. we are told, because during the
summer the waters in which oys-
tiers breed are peculiarly liable to
become contaminated with refuse
from neighboring cities, charged
with the germs of the most fatal
disease AS time goes on and the
waters become clearer and the
germs perish the oysters no longer

western Europe Some of the Eu-
ropean oysters are very large and

to feed family of ten. But not an
oyster remains on either platter
when the feast is finished. An
other curious thing to American
eyes is to see the convives taking
the big shells in their hands, like
saucers, and drinking the abundant
juice of the oyster before consum-
ing the meat 1t is very good, too.

everybody should pay heed
to what DR.. Wiley says in the Sep
TENDER number of Good House
keeping Magazine about the. peril
in eating raw oysters at this time
of year.
An oyster in its uncooked state
probably approaches nearer in APP
pearance to pure protoplasm than
any other popular food-proto-
pIasm. you win remember, is that
peculiar substance which Huxley
called the physical basis of life.
Whatever ITS nutritive elements
may be, the oyster is certainly as
nutritious as it is toothsome. but.
unfortunately it is peculiarly sub
ject to become the bearer of some
very dangerous diseases, and es-
pecially of the dreaded typhoid.
Only a thorough cooking can rem

Oysters Differ Widely.

How imminent TINS peril to

by the fact, which Dr. Wiley re-

in New York state where raw oys-
ters formed the principal dish, and
a careful Investigation traced the
trouble to those oysters. Remem-

raw oysters in the month of Octo-

contamination can be avoided by a
careful selection and supervision of

takes the trouble TO inquire whence
his oysters have come?
And if he did inquire, what
chance would he have of learning
the exact truth? Oysters are dredg-
