Careful Selection OF Loans

We loan our depositors' money on
first mortgages on Knox County Real
Estate.
1t must be favorably located, not
subject to special risks, and the bor-
rover must have clear title,
Not a dollar has ever been lost by
reason of fire, flood, or over valuation
of the security.
We pay depositors 4 per cent on
savings accounts, per cent on six
months certificates and per cent on
amounts of $4,000, or over, deposited
on certificates due in one year.
These are the highest rates con-
sistent with the safe investment of
depositors' money. Higher rates of
interest paid to depositors lead to
speculation.

MT. VERNON BOY
Meets With Great Success As Pianist
In Boston, Mass.

The Boston Globe of recent date
has the following concerning Mr.. Le-
land Asher Arnold, q son of Mr. Ed
ward Arnold of this city, who is meet
ing with great success as a pianist in
Boston:
Margarite McQuaid, violinist, and
Leland Asher Arnold, pianist, made
their first appearance in Boston in a
recital given last night at the home

Of Gustav Strube in Boston, and has
spent six years abroad as pupil of
Arno Hilf of the Leipsic Conserva-
tory, Ottahar Seveik of Prague and
Cesar Thmpson of Brussels. Mr..
Arnold is a graduate of the Dennison
Conservatory in Ohio and of Harvard.
The program included the Reben-
stein sonata, op 13, for violin and
. piano; Beethoven's Appassionate
sonata, and short piees for the vio-
lin, among them "Thaerhcen," by Mr..
Strube and dedicated to Miss Nc
Quaid.
The young violinist played charm
ingly, displaying unusual technic and
clearness of tone, especially evident
in the Rebenstein sonata Her work
was well supported by that of Mr..
Arnold, who showed great ability as
accompanist, giving due support
while estimating we'll the value of the
accompaniment itself. His inter-
probation of the Beethoven sonata
left little to be desired, while in the
shorter things he played with marked
lightness and charm of touch.
Among those present at the concert
were Mrs. Maclaurin, Mrs. Wolcott,
Johnson, Mrs. Endicott, Mrs Edwin
CHM, the Misses Grebe, Mrs. H. l.

BRIGANDAGE IN MEXICO

At all times it should be kept in mind, by people
who wonder about conditions in Mexico that the bot
tom of the chaos strictly economic condition
The ownership OF the land by great holders has
made of the people who ought be decent, self
respecting working citizens The land situation in Mex
leo is by than it Ireland; and in
Ireland it bad that it drove half the splendid in
telligent lawabiding population out of that island
What then could be expected in Mexico, where the
peonage is composed aboriginal people, whom the
veneer of civilization, at best has had time to set
and harden?
Brigandage has more or less become an occupation.
simply because there nothing else which the bigand
can make living The blame for it goes back to the
old system of exploitation Spanish rule the
domination Of the cientifcos under Diaz
1t is the result that has been wrought in every
country where 'suprior, that is, powerful and
arful people has moved in and supermposed itself
the original social structure taking possession of the
property of the country and by that making the
masses of people appendages the land which
they must live.
The Mexican peon unable to extract an honest living
and feeling under the obligation keep living
that is attribute of all fe and takes what
he Sees where he find it.
The starving and roting workngmen of London have
done that thing within a years past and in
London in Mexico, the procedure accompanied
by violence and reckless destruction of property.
That civilization in which vast body of the people
is oppressed that it is denied the necessaries
existence, while little oligarchy controls property and
worthy of the
Mexicos struggle is i neconomc essentials, the same
that England had to the great charter from king
who could not understand that France had under it's
Bourbons, eliminating in the revolution.
1t is earlier, ruder more elemental stage of the
struggle that is going all the world for
better distribution of the product of toll That
struggle produces socialism in Germany, strikes
Italy, sabotage in France, the l. w. W. in the United
States, brigandage in Mexico.
1t is quite safe that the social has
gone to pieces in Mexico and that the Mexican
not fit material out of which to build nation. That
be true but the struggle the European
of feudalisms bonds marked by just
kind of demonstrations that taking place in
Mexico.
Given chance economic system under which they
could keep soul and body and selfrespect together
Mexican people might do quite well the Europeans
have done At rate they have not had the chance
they get it until the system the

Above ground storage of this highly explosive
fuel is dangerous. Gasoline voatilizes easily. Its

Underground storage is safer because the

Good Roads.

In communication to the Palladium town
ship SUPERVISOR takes exception to a criticism of
roads recently offered by county agricultural
agent Cobb. In part, the communication from
this supervisor read as follows:
eff men are to do good work on the roads they
must be given proper tools to work with. The
only tools have for the road work in my district
pick and two scoops. The county grader
is the only one have for use in this township
and it is poor machine We need a good grader
badly"
Without doubt if the conditions as outlined by
this supervisor exist all over the county, it is no
wonder have poor country roads. The Pal
ladium believes the great fault lies in not having
a central and expert authority in charge of the
road building work. Our roads at present are
built the hit miss plan-no one really in
charge and paid salary sufficient to command
the services of an expert. The result is naturally
just such inefficiences as lack of sufficient tools
AS this paper has said many times before let
the state legislature give a law providing for
strong and efficient department in charge of the
states road system and eliminate the preesnt sys-
tenn of so widely scattering and dividing author
ity. Center responsibility, and we will soon have
far better roads at less cost.

Heart to Heart
Talks
THE HUNCH OF A SHOULDER.

There Is only one thing that clings in
memory more than a handshake, and
that's the feel of the shoulder bunch that
your cOmrads gave you when you were
close in ranks. the battle line advancing
under shot and SHELTON Painter. Penn
sylvania Veteran. at Gettysburg Reunion.
After fifty years the soldier feels yet
that bunch of the shoulder.
1t feels good in memory.
1t reminds him now, as 1t told him
then, of the comrade close at his side
the real cemrade, the man with
whom he had bunked and with whom
he had shared his rations.
When the day of battle came the
same man was ready to fight for him
and to die for him IL necessary.
In the bunch Of the shoulder all this
was told again. 1t was an assurance
of comradeship, pledge Of aid.
Can't you picture the scene for your
self? The men advance In close rank.
Before them lies possible death. There
Is no time for hand shake, for words.
Just the move of a shoulder. just a
little shove. But 1t means lot
There's a place for the bunch Of the
shoulder in peace times as well as in
war.
In a sense we are all fighting in a
battle 1t is the world old battle for
life and perhaps for the means of liv-
ing. To some of US it spells tragedy.
When the strife Is hardest. when
there is greatest peril of wounds and
death, how well to feel the bunch of a
friends shoulder! How well to know
that he is fighting at your side. ready
to help you if called upon!
He need not speak. The bunch is
enough.
And you yourself? How is your own
shoulder?
Not crippled, let US hope, by the
rheuma tism of selfishness. Not too
busily engaged with the rest of you in
fighting your own battle to give a
friendly little shove to the man next to
you.
He's your comrade. you know. He
needs you.
Give him a bunch Of the shoulder
Let him feel your friendly presence.
Perhaps he will do the same for you

MOONLIGHT

AS pale phantom with light
Ascends some ruins haunted stair,
So glides the moon along the damp,
Mysterious chambers of the air.
Now hidden in cloud, and now revealed,
AS if this phantom, full of pain,
Were by the crumbling walls concealed
And at the windows seen again
Until at last, serene and proud,
In all the splendor of her light
She walks the terraces of cloud
Supreme empress of the night
I look. but recognize no more
Objects familiar to my view
The very pathway to my door
Is enchanted avenue.
Illusion! underneath there lies
The common life of every day;
Only the spirit glorfes
With its own tints the sombre gray.
In vain we look, in vain uplift
Our eyes to heaven, if we are blind;
We see but what have the gift
Of seeing; what We bring we find.
