There Is a story of a negro who
went to a bank in Georgia to borrow
$40 to help save his crop. He wanted
the money for three months. and the
interest at the rate of $3.50 a month
was charged in advance. What the
negro said is not printable, but he did
not re;urn to the bank and ask how
much l. oney would be coming to him
if he had borrowed the money for
four months. 1t was the telling OF
this story that suggested the follow

An old negro in Tennessee is noted

the care of the animal, but il you are
