The Convenience of Checks

OF the billions of dollars changing hands daily in
business transactions, less than five per cent is actual
money. Checks,-or written orders representing the
actual money! are more convenient in business
than cash.
On receipt of your first deposit with this bank, we
give you your bank book and blank checks. Instead
of carrying your money about, you carry your checks
and write them for the amount of purchases or OBJ
legations. The checks that others give you in pay
ment are brought to us fer deposit to your credit
and in turn the amount may be checked upon by
you. IL a check is lost the bank is notified and pay
ment is stopped.
Checks are desirable because all chance of loss, error
and theft are avoided. When paid and returned by
the bank, they are an indisputable receipt. Such
protection is valuable to your business, yet a check
account with this bank costs you nothing whatever.

SALOON AND BUSINESS
What the Business Men of
Madison Say.

The questions Wnlcn follow were
submitted to practically every business
man in town. Over sixty were inter
viewed and of these ffty-six gave writ
ten answers to a part or all of the
questions. The questions with the
answers received follow
Question /. How does the volume
of your business in the months from
July /. 1912. to date compare with the
average of recent yearsE''
Business larger ........ ..... %
Business about the same, Ia
Business decreased. ..... 3
Question 2. "How have your collec-
tion3 ia these months compared with
collections in preceding years2"
Collections better, 10
Collections about the same. 10
Cash business only, ...... ..... 7
COLLECTIONS worse, ... ....... z
Question 3. HAS there been any
change in the number of bad debts ?"
Fewer bad debts, -. 16
No difference in number, 90
Cash business only, .... Z
More bad debts, ..,...... o
Question A do you believe the
absence of saloons Injuries business con
~ditions?"
Number answering mo, As
Number answering Eyes, 8
A number of those interviewed did
not answer the first three questions,
the reason in nearly every casa being
that they had not been 10 business
long enough to be able to make the
comparisons asked.
The majority of the men who have
been in business long enough to make
comparison say that business is better;
nearly all the lest say there has been
no decrease; only five report less bust
ness. The largest number of those
answering the second question say that
collections have been better, many
saying very much better" nearly
all the rest say there has been no
change; only two report collections
woIse. Sixteen men say they have
had a decrease in the number Of bad
debts; twenty reported no difference
and not one reported an increase.
Forty-five men say that the absence of
saloons does not injure BUSINESS, as
compared with five who believe the
contrary. The claim that Madison
needs the saloon in order to prosper is
false, say the men who know.

BIRDS AND FISHES TELL
 OF COMING SUMMER

As an evidence that spring is here, We not only have the record co the thermometer, but the birds ot the air and the fishes Of the deep tell us of the approach of summer. William Matthews, who y,,',' Dyea valley, brought to this city yesterday large number of candle fish. or eulachon. He says the fish are running in large numbers and that they are running earlier by six weeks or two months than ever before. From this he figures that the winter has departed for an other season.
 old timers have noticed the mat ing of the ravens, and after listen ing to their hoarse notes Of love, foreteu that spring alone can bring ont these repturous eNpretaons from the ravens.

 A report comes from Coustsntin- ople that Che young Turks are be- coming disposed Co make co'nprom- ises. but they win never permit the Allies Co take Adriauople without a bitter war.

 It Is by no means certain that they will fail to bring about this test of public opinion, because there are many members of the majority In the House Of Commons who are not certain of the support Of their constituents in respect to home rule, and they would be glad to submit the whole matter to the electors of the Kingdom. such a virtual refer endum would bring on a battle at the polls which would certainly be.
