SCHOOL CHILDREN HAVE $500,
900 DEPOSIT IN SCHOOL
SAVINGS BANK.

The following is taken from the May
Womans' Home Companion:
I'm the School Savings Bank now
in operation in 1,149 public schools in
the United States, pupils have depos-
tied savings amounting to nearly
three and-a-half millions dollars, a
large proportion of which might in the
ordinary course of juvenile events
have gone for cheap candy and per-
haps for cigarettes. The children
who made these deposits have, first of
all, learned the meaning of thrift !;
many of them have been enabled to
pay their way through trade schools,
academies or colleges; many have had
the qualification of helping their pa
rents in times of need girls have
found the means to buy their own
clothing or gifts for others, and boys
have accumulated money enough to
start small business ventures. The
Schools Savings Banks system, orig
mating in France, was brought to the
United States from Belgium by Mr.
John Thirty, native of that country
who became school commissioner Of
Long Island City, New York. Through
his fundamentally the system, inau
gurated in 1885, was gradually taker

could certainly get rich beyond their
widest dreams, and have market
right at home; and Southern farmers
could and should do as well.
For lack of enterprise of the farmers
of Alabama and Mississippi we of the
two states are under tribute beyond a
kings ransom each year, in money
that leaves the two states for the
North and West. Traceable to this
same lack of enterprise and initiative
is the fact that we eat imported meal,
from the same regions where the corn
is grown. We buy our grits and hon.
my from the same source. Our
bacon and side meat and hams come
from the corn country. Our lard
comes from there. Our meat comes
from there.
What the whole tribute paid to the
corn growing section of the country
totals no man can tell. Were 1t re.
moved for five years the Southern
states would be the richest states In
the Union.
What is going to be the result of q
continuation Of such a wasteful and
foolish course? Not only do the sta
tistics show that despite the millions
being lavished in the way of publicity
and help by the Federal Department
of Agriculture, only IL per cent of the
farmers directly approached make any
pretensions toward endeavoring tc
benefit by them, but many of the farm
ers decry these efforts, refuse to lei
their boys join the corn clubs ant
minimize the work being done by the
girls tomato clubs.
We need farmers who will make
corn; make fifty bushels to the acre

general public to the corn growing

mission is first obtained from the po-
lice officials, and prohibit the trans
portation of all articles, such as sheet
iron, chains and other metal objects,
liable to make noise, unless packed
so as to be noiseless.
But the new ordinances now COM
ing into force are severer still. Ac-
cording to these not only must police
permission be obtained for playing
music in the streets, but also in all
cases when, played in buildings, it can
be heard in the streets. Otherwise,
when music is played or sung in
rooms which connect with streets, the
windows and doors must be kept tight
ly closed! No loud singing, whistling
or hurrahing and no bellringing Tex
cept the Jingle of sleighbells) is now
allowed in the streets. Moreover the
new ordinances forbid the beating of
beds, carpets or clothing in open win
dows or on balconies connected with
the streets. Finally, the new rules re-
quire that vehicles without springs
shall be driven slowly, so as to reduce
the noise from the vehicle or its con
tents to a minimum. These details
suggest what might, even in much
greater moderation, be accomplished
in American streets.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.


Probably never before has the bust
ness world been in more pressing need
of new capital than at present. New
financing must be done by various
countries on an enormous scale in the
immediate future and many corpora
tions are obliged to enter the money
market for funds at a time when
money is scarce and at rates which
are high. 1t is believed that within
the next few years the bond and note
issues to be fioated will run into many
hundreds of millions of dollars. Many
institutions have been holding off their
increase in indebtedness in the hope
that a more favorable time will ap-
pear. 1t is said that these delayed
undertakings in this country alone
amounts to several billions of dollars.
But there is little encouragement to
be held out to these corporations in
the way of easier money rates. The
funds now boarded abroad on account
of the Balkan war will be quickly alb
sorbed when released. The normal
demands of business are heavy and
will increase when peace has been de-
clared and confidence has been re-
stored throughout the world. Tempo
rarily easier conditions in the money
market should obtain. The reduction
this week in the minimum rate of dis
count by the Bank of England reflects
the easier tendency abroad. But it
would be remarkable if money should
be in as plentiful supply as it has been.
The indications are that it will be four
or five years before the financial
needs of the world are satisfied. Some
of the larger interests already have
come to the conclusion and are pre-
pairing to go ahead with their financ-
ing, paying more for their borrowings
than they ever have done before.
There has been some recession in
general business lately, but the de-
cline is comparatively insignificant, as
shown by the continued heavy bank
clearings. The western railroads
outside of the flooded district report
traffic increases over last year, a very
encouraging sign when 1t is consider
ed that this time last year the roads
were enjoying large gains over the
preceding year. Industries that will
be directly or indirectly affected by
the tariff reductions are moving eau
tiously. This attitude will probably
continue until the new tariff law has
been enacted. Equipment companies
report a slowing down, due 1t is said
to the high prices demanded for cars
However, the needs Of the railroads
are still urgent, and IL general traffic
continues Of the same volume as II
has been, many more cars and loco
, motives are yet to be purchased. II
, 1t had not been for unfavorable money
conditions, many more millions would
, have been invested IN equipment and
rails than has been the case, and II
Is only a question Of time when such
+ expenditures must be made whether
!. the financial market be propitious OF
otherwise. - Cbristian-Science Mont
