CHARTERING BUT FEW BANKS
GEORGIA PEOPLE ARE PUTTING
MONEY IN AUTOMOBILES.
Secretary Cook Finds That the Pur-
chase of Buzz Wagons Is Only In
creased Business in His Office.

chase of Buzz Wagons Is Only In
creased Business in His Office.
ATLANTA,-Secretary of State
Philip Cook spent the today compar-
ing the records of his office for this
year and last with the result that
he had an interesting discovery.
Secretary Cook finds that people
have practically stopped altogether
chartering banks and railroads and
similar corporations and gone to buy,
ing automobiles.
The only business in my office
in which l find no decrease as COM
pared with last year." said Secretary
Cook, lis III the automobile line. 1t
looks as if the people of Georgia
have stopped chartering banks and
railroads altogether"
Secretary Cook found that he
chartered six banks in May, 1912, as
against one in May, 1913. He found,
too, that he has chartered only three
banks since the first of last January
as against 26 up to the same date in
1912. He chartered two railroads in
May, 1912, and one this year.
But the automobile licenses for
1913 are already 800 ahead of what
they were for this date a year ago.
In 1912 he issued licenses for 5000
cars, and this year the number will
exceed that. The number of automo-
bile licenses issued in May was 742
and the value of the machines regis
tered will average fully $1,000 each.
Secretary Cook says the profess
sional statisticians aud financial prog
nosticators will have to take these
figures and facts anu work out for
themselves the problem as to what it
means
All he knows about it is the people
of Georgia seem to have plenty of
money with which to purchase auto
mobiles despite the fact that there
is a general complaint about financial
conditions and the shortage OF
money

WHAT is a WATERMELON?
Savannah Judge Called on to Decide
Whether 1t Is Vegetable or Fruit.

Whether 1t Is Vegetable or Fruit.
Is a watermelon a fruit or a vege-
table?
This question was brought before
Judge Schwarz in police court in Sa-
vannah, and the judge held that a
watermelon is a fruit.
John Chisholm was arraigned
charged with selling watermelons on
the street without license. Chisholm
had a charity permit to sell vegeta-
bles, and the question came up is
the watermelon a vegetable?
Chisholm maintained that he was
acting within his rights inasmuch as
a melon is a vegetable The judge
was of the opinion that it is a fruit,
but after considering the mater care
fully dismissed the case against CHS
holm.

Mrs.
Many people who received govern
ment checks in payment of interest
on live bonds seem to be very care
less or not in need of funds, as
large number of these checks never
have been presented for payment.
One party alone is known to have in
his possession an aggregate of many
thousands of dollars represented by
these checks, and although frequent
ly opportuned to present them for
payment he has so far neglected to
do so.
An investigation recently made by
the secretary of the treasury dis
closed the fact that many national
banks are holders of these checks,
and the treasury now holds the
names of more than 100 national
banks who have thus far neglected
to present them for payment.
This failure on the part of such
check holders to- present them has
caused the secretary to issue an or
der to the effect that when such in
terest checks remain unpaid for
more than three full fiscal years the
holder will be required to prove his
right to them. In addition it is
probable that new checks will have
to be issued covering the amounts
of the old.
"Greenbacks," or United States
notes now outstanding amount to
$346,6S1, 016, according to the gov
eminent books, but doubtless some
millions of them have been lost or
destroyed in the more than so years
during which they have been in cir
culation. Whenever any old or mutt
lated bills are sent to the treasury
new ones are issued in place of them,
and thus process of renewal is con-
stantly going on, but there is no
means of knowing how many have
been lost or destroyed.
The government makes a profit of
more than 100 per cent on all the
fractional silver put in circulation
The silver bullion costs less than half
the face value of the coins. About
$40, 100000 in silver half-dollars,
quarters and dimes are in existence,
according to the books of the treas
ury. An arbitrary reduction of So
100000 was made three years ago in
the governments account of subsid-
larry silver coins in circulation.
No silver dollars have been coined
since 1904. About 100000 silver
dollars are in circulation and about
467, 900, 900 are piled up in the treas
ury and represented in circulation by
silver certificates.
Altogether there is about $685.
100000 of paper currency in circu-
lation, including 81, 100000 of gold
certificates, s846, 100000 of United
States notes, $728,0O0,000 of ma
tional bank notes and 100000 of
treasury notes of 1890. Whenever
any of this vast sum of currency is
lost or destroyed the government is
the gamer, because there is that
much less to be redeemed ultimately

A LEGLESS PRODIGY.
Missouri Man Who Does His Share of
Work on 2OO-ACre Farm.


Monroe county, Missouri, has
legless prodigy in Earl Craft, who,
despite his infrmity, gets about al
most as well as those who have legs,
and does his part of the actual work
ON a farm of 240 acres.
When IL years old Craft became
incapacitated with necrosis of the
bone, for which there is no specific,
and both his legs were amputated at
the hips. He lay in bed six weeks
and then began the laborious task
of learning to walk by means of his
hands. In less than three weeks he
was doing farm work, and today he
can hook or unlock a team, ride a
horse, drive a gang pillow, cultivator,
or binder, and do almost any other
farm work except gather corn.

WOULD SOLVE
HELP PROBLEM

Minot, N D., July 21.-The Ward
County Threshers' association held a
meeting Saturday! afternoon at the K.
of P. hall. Many important matters
came up for discussion. The question
of obtaining help during the thresh-
ing season has always been a hard
problem to solve. The help necessary
for the operation OF. the threshing OUT
fits has, in time past, been obtained
largely from the transient element
and has proved very unsatisfactory.
The association has formulated a plan
whereby in the future the help will
consist of farmers living in the vicin-
ity Of the place where the threshfng is
done. =
This will mean better and more sat
isfactory labor, and will have advan-
tage over the old system in that the
money which was formerly passed into
the hands of the fioaters will remain
in the county. The fixing OF mini
mum scale per bushel for threshing
was also considered at the meeting
and it was decided to maintain the
rates in use last year The officers the
past year were the following: Thor
valid Mostad, president: Ed. Kittleson.
vice president; John Underdal. secre
tary. The association has a member
