BRAVE FIGHT FOR HER YOUNG
Mother Spider Knew No Fear When
1t Was a Question of Saving the
Little Ones.

Crossing a field the other day I
came upon large female spider of
the hunter family, carrying a round
white sack OF eggs, half the size Of a
cherry, attached to her spinnerets.
Plucking a long stem OF herds grass
l detached the sack of eggs without
bruising it. Instantly the spider turned
and sprang at the grass stem, fighting
and biting until she got to the sack,
which she seized in her strong Jaws
and made off with it as fast as her
rapid legs would carry her.
laid the stem across her back and
again took the sack away. She came
on for it again, fighting more fiercely
than before. Once more she seized it;
once more I forced it from her jaws,
while she sprang and bit at the grass
stem to annihilate it.
The fight must have been on for
two minutes, when by a regrettable
move on my part, one of her legs was
injured. She did not falter in her
fight. On she rushed for the sack as
fast as / pulled it away. The mother
in her was rampant.
She would have fought for that
sack, believe, until she had not one
of her eight legs to stand on, had
been cruel enough to compel her It
did not come to this, for suddenly the
sack burst, and out poured a myriad
of tiny brown spiderlings.
Before I could think, that mother
had rushed among them and caused
them to swarm upon her, covering
her, many deep, even to the outer
joints of her long legs-so deep that
/ could not now have touched her
with a needle except at the risk of
crushing the young. I stood by and
watched her slowly move off with her
encrusting family to place Of safety.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A SAFE
SAVINGS BANK :?

1t has been said that no saw
ings bank is safer than its man
ayers, and this statement is alb
solutely true.
A man must have a peculiarly
constituted mind if he is to grow
into a safe and efficient savings
bank manager.
1t is said that in the great ma
Jority of men, the gambling in
stlnct predominates, Men like
to bet, and in some men the
spirit of gambling is so largely
developed that it is difficult to
restrain the temptation to gam
BILE whenever favorable opportu-
nifty offers.
A banker, especially if he be
one who has charge of savings
deposits and trust funds, should
be entirely free from this gam
bling propensity. When a note
comes to him upon which he
must pass his judgment as a
banker, he must have that inbred
element in his make up which
turns down nstanter every sug-
gestion of risk, however hatter-
ing the prospect ofgain, through
a large rate of interest, may be.
There are severalsavings banks
il Vermont whose managers
never have speculated in Wall
Street, and probably never will
not because they mightnot make
money by so doing, but because
they instinctively turn down
everything of an extra hazard
Gus or gambling character, as
Wall Street dealings usually are.
The managers of the Hyde
Park Savings Bank are particu-
larly proud of the fact that not
one Of its directors ever engaged
in Wall Street speculations. This
does not mean that they are
brighter or ADLER than other bank
managers, but it does mean that
they have, intuitively, that anti
gambling instinct which prompts
them to turn down every propo-
sition involving a speculative
risk.
This attitude of the directors
of the Hyde Park Bank accounts
for the fact that in it's 25 years Of
existence, it has never lost a dol
lar by a poor note. That It
might have made more money
for it's stockholders by pursuing
a different line Of conduct may be
true, although in nine cases out
of ten the most successful banks,
in the long run, are those which
are presided over by men who
more, rather than less,
than the average amount of eau
ton and conservatism.
The entire assets of the Hyde
Park Bank-and that bank does
not own a dollar of assets which
pays aboxe 6 per cent-earned
for the fiscal year ended June 80,
1918, only 5.46 per cent.
What does this mean? Unde
niably it speaks volumes for the
conservatism of the banks man
aeers, and means that they place
safety for the depositor above
bio dividends for the stock
a olders,
The bank cheerfully opens its
books to the inspection and scru-
inv of every depositor, and chal-
enges anyone to find in its entire
list of assets, aggregating July 1,
1913, S2,67O,712 At, a single
lollar ofpoor or doubtful paper.
Because of the foregoing facts,
the managers of the Hyde Park
Bank feel that they may,
with propriety, commend that
institution to the public as a safe
and proper custodian of the saw
ngs of those who believe that
absolute safety is the matter of
irst consideration always, and

The question with traction engines
is, to be able to get one that is light

heavy engines cost more to operate
and are a detriment to the soil. This

COmm1ssIOrER,s QUICK WORK.


The State Corporation Commission
performs a vast amount Of efectua'
service to North Carolina, more--ir
fact-than some uninformed folks ap-
pear disposed to admit. 1t stands be.
tween people and the corporations in
hundreds of controversies every year
yet the average tax payer seems tt
have little conception of it's actua'
value to the State.
The supervision of state banks by the
Commission is especially commenda-
BILE and this fact, worthy of note
stands out: The Commission has moi
made a single mistake in the selec-
ton of men to perform the duty Of
examining the banks, during the four
teen years that have elapsed since
these institutions were placed under
it's supervision. All of the examiners
and assistant examiners have been
men of superb ability, high character
and devotion to duty. So well has
their task been performed, that the
heads of Industrial concerns have lur-
ed numbers of them away from the
commission with offers of more at
tractive salaries than the State had
provided as their compensation. This
condition has resulted in frequent
changes but none of them have been
considered as unfortunate experiments.
The value of the Commissions SUI
pervision of the State banking insti-
tutions, with adequate laws to support
it, was demonstrated last week when
the officers Of a wildcat trust COM
pany and fake banking scheme were
brought to grief. The story of the ac-
tivities of the States Trust Com
pany, is related in another column and
makes mighty interesting reading. 1t
vas a cleverly laid scheme to gather
il the sheckels by the wholesale and
but for the scrutinizing eye of a COM
mission expert, who entered strenu-
Gus objections to further operations,
unsuspecting citizens of North Caro-
lima would have been relieved of hum
dreds of thousands of dollars within
six months. But, thanks to the Com
mission, there is to be no more "heec-.
ing" by the States Trust Company for
the present.
