SAN Miguel BANKS
LATEST IMPROVEMENT
NEW COMPUTING MHcAlNE Is
MOST USEFUL CONTINUANCE
OF ITS KIND

The San Miguel bank has Just in
stalled a new computing machine that
Is expected to mark a decided step
forward in banking in this community.
The ever increasing volume of detail
involved in present day banking has
been looked upon for long time by
bankers as burden that should be
handled in quicker and more eff
cient manner than the old fashioned
hand method. Banking is usually a
persistent grind of putting in and TAX
ig out. This labor has been greatly
minimized for years by the ordinary
ecding machine, but it is only recently
that a machine which will subtract as
well as add has been invented.
This is the type of macine that the
San Miguel bank has installed. The
institution is changing its method of
bookkeeping, so far as accounts are
concerned, to the simplifiei form Of
the machine. Ledger accounts are to
be kept, under the new method, show
ing the old balance, checks drawn, de-
posts made and new balance, the ad-
dition and subtraction being carried
to final total by one operation.

This act was the result of the hatred

Stories made public in Berlin re-
late that the French bombardment of
Cattaro, in Dalmatia, had been abso-
lutely without success. One French
cruiser is described as having been
sunk, while two are said to have been
seriously damaged.
Russians are described as having
stolen the famous private library of

At a largely attended meeting in
Berlin of men prominent in industry,
commerce and agriculture, resolu-

the recent German war loan had been
highly successful and those present
recorded their readiness to make any
further sacrifices needed. They de-
manded also that the war be contin-

been colossal. Even the official re-
ports contain a gruesome picture of
