Never Too Late.

Rev. Madison Peters said of New
Years resolutions the other day in
Brooklyn:
I'D advise every one with a bad
habit--whether it's alcohol or profan.
ity, gambling or morphine-to swear
off hopefully.
"Some poor fellows, especially
among the alcoholics, think it's too
Iate-their lives are ruined-no rope

But, as I always point out to them,
a man is never too old to reform,
though frequently he is too young to
realize this truth"

BANKING BUSINESS
OF OLD MISSOURI
BULLETIN SHOWS CONDITION OF
INSTITUTIONS IN IMPERIAL
COMMONWEALTH.
INSTITUTIONS ARE ALL SAFE
st. Louis Alone Has 4e Places for
That Line of Business and Kan
sas City Is Close UP With
33-St. Joseph Has 16.

jefferson City.-The magnitude of
the banking business of Missouri is
shown in a bulletin issued by John T.
Fitzpatrick.
The banking statistics given in the
bulletin are timely and important be-
cause of the movement which is afoot
to secure for st. Louis and Kansas
City one of the United States reserve
banks provided for by the national
bank measure recently enacted by
congress and promptly signed by
President Wilson.
Missouri contains 1,441 national
and state banks and trust companies,
scattered through the large cities and
the ia counties. OF this number 1873
are national and 1908 state banks and
trust companies. St. Louis contains
seven national banks and 80 state
banks and trust companies, a total Of
46. Kansas City has - national and
81 state banks and trust companies, a
total of SO. st. Joseph has four ma
tional and IL state banks and trust
companies, a total of 16. The other
1873 national and 1903 state banks and
trust companies are in the smaller
cities and towns. Springfield, Joplin,
Carthage, Sedaliay Jefferson City, No
berly, Cape Girardeau, independence,
Columbia, Excelsior Springs and
Kirksville are well supplied with
banking institutions. There is not a
town in the state with a population of
500 or over that has not a state bank.
In Missouri there were 67 trust
companies, 20 private banks and 1,216
incorporated banks on Dec. 1, 1918.
The postal savings deposits of I'm
Missouri amounted to $573,9 2 and
the United States deposits $6,478,762.
The total deposits in the banks of
Missouri give an'idea as to how much
available cash the inhabitants of Mis-
souri, have, since they can either get
this money on demand or else negoti-
ate without further security the GER
tificates of deposits they hold. The
total is $475, 1929 lis. F~orty-six banks
in st. Louis handled over two-fifths
Of this money.
One hundred and ten national
banks, outside Of st. Louis, Kansas
City and st. Joseph, had in circula.
ton national bank notes to the
amount of $%5,640,64S, secured by
United States bonds worth $5,677,S10
The total postal savings deposits
amounted to $%14o,071. These national
banks and 1926 state banks and trust
companies had esources to the
amount of $500, 1888. They had or
hand in actual cash $9,840,003.
