TALKS ON THRIFT.
THE SAFETY AND SERVICE OF
BANKS.

| 0epoSlloFS entruSC bankers
with such power as they have to-
day, and are unlikely to entrust
that power to weak or evil
hands."-H. P. Davidson, of J.
P. Morgan & Co.
The value to the business public
OF good banks can hardly be overesti-
mated.
The financial lifeblood of the COM
munity flows through these arteries
in the form of loans and discounts
exchanges, collections and other
transactions.
To the bank the man OF big affairs
can come for consultation about tram
sactions involving large amounts,
while the man of small affairs with
little knowledge of banking can turn
to it for sound advice.
The banks help to keep the local
wheels of trade and industry moving,
tide honorable men over business de-
pressions, keep local money at home
and in a score of ways help the COM
munity. The distribution of interest
on time or savings deposits, amounts
ing to large sum in the aggregate,
is a strong incentive to thrift. AS a
teacher of good business system, also,
well-equipped bank is an excellent
school for it's d epositors.
Several times year banks are
thoroughly examined by representa-
tives of the state or national banking
authorities, as the case may be, and
also by representatives of their
boards of directors.
The examiners count all the cash
on hand down to the last penny, then
check off all the bonds and other in
vestment securities owned by the
bank, as we'll as the collateral on
which it has loaned money. They ex-
anime all the notes discounted, verify
all balances due to and from other
banks by obtaining from them a for
NAL certifying as to balances.
Sometimes depCsitors upon being
shown banks safe deposit vault,
ask: els this me vault where my
savings deposits are kept?" Some
seem to thing hat each depositor's
money is kept in separate box till
he calls for it,
Money kept thai way, while it
would be safe, would be doing neither
its owner, the back, nor the commun-
ity any good 1t would be boarded
merely and be rtirely on-product-
i've. AS MATE: OF fact, a certain
proportion OF de ositors' funds laust
be kept in reserve, but some of this
reserve may be deposited at interest
in other banks. But the larger part
of deposit money is invested by the
bank, under strict legal safeguards
in various conservative ways, usually
in demand" and short term invest
ments that render the assets of the
bank quick to realize upon when nee
essary.
A bank must use the greatest dis
elimination in making loans. A
stranger cannot expect accommoda-
tons. 1t is customary for the bor-
rover to make periodical statement
of his financial affairs, which 10 kept
in the banks records.
Naturally, in their dealings with
regular depositors, the banks officers
| become we'll acquainted with thei1
character and their resources and
are thus in position to determine
to how large line of credit each
one is entitled. The ability to Dor.
row. money from the bank is one OF
the great advantages of being steady
bank depositor.

WILL EMERGE TRIUMPHANT.

That there is no need for appre-
hension over the future OF the Sou'h'
that there will be demand for every
thing produced here and that INC
South never had better opportunities
than it possesses today are views eH-
messed in letter from the Mechan-
ics-National bank of st. Louis to the
| Merchants Z Planters bank OF Pine
bluff. The men of finance keep IN
close touch with conditions and are
usually able to'forecast with accuracy
business conditions for months ahead'
For that reason the encouraging tone
of the st. Louis bank is gratllylhs'
and because it is in line with the opln-
ion of business students everywhere
should have the effect of dispelling
apprehension.
concerning the South and foreign
trade, the letter says:
The opinion is held by many o..
Louis business men that the cotton
situation will be relieved to some eA-
tent by the increased consumption III
the United Safes as well as IN Hreat
britain. These two countries con-
sumo between 20 and 70 per cent Vi
the total production. Great Britain
army fighting on foreign soil shouiu
not disturb industrial conditions at
home. while Continental allies Will
look to Great Britain as a source Oh
supply for cotton goods. Last year
Great Britain consumed four ana d
half million bales of cotton, ana IL IS
not unreasonable to suppose that her
consumption may be greater during
the present year.
Letters from the South in regard 10
the cotton situation indicate the 1lfst
excitment is gradually dying out anu
thew are facing the situation more
calmly than they did several weeks
ago, Wheat is now being freely eA-
ported and we anticipate Similar
movement of cotton later in the sea-
son.
Our foreign trade must in the near
future turn heavily in favor OF the
United States. The same Is true VI
paris. as was evidenced by the desire
of the French government to place a
S1O 90 900 900 loan with American
bankers. with the understanding that
the proceeds should be expended III
the United States. The big thing IN
>.he foreign trade situation is the
wheat surplus which must be moved
with all dispatch in order TO get, tns
full benefit of high prices ana quloh
sales. There are hundreds OF thlnss
which the foreign nations must Duy
of us, and there are numerous op-
nortunities for the American manutac-
turer TO secure markets abroad which,
under the old order of things, he was
never able to command.

Al. Then Peter said unto him, Lord,

AZ. And the Lord said. Who then is
that faithful and wise steward, whom
his lord shall make ruler over his
household, to give them their portion
of meat in due season?
43. Blessed is that servant, whom
his lord when he cometh shall find so
doing.
A. Of truth I say unto you, that
he will make him ruler over all that
he hath

his heart, My lord delayeth his COM

servants and maidens, and to eat and
drink, and to be drunken;
As. The lord of that servant will
come in a day when he looketh not
for him, and at an hour when he is
not aware, and will cut him in sunder,
and will appoint him his portion with
the unbelieyers.
AZ. And that servant, which knew
his lords will, and prepared not HIM
self, neither did according to his
will, shall be beaten with many
stripes.
4S. But he that knew not, and did
commit things worthy of stripes, shall
be beaten with few stripes. For unto
whomsoever much is given, OF him
shall be much required: and to whom
men have committed much, of him
they will ask the more.
