OF the patrons of the bank, especially
the borrowers, will be pleased. He
replied:
q believe, Mr.. Editor, that the pros
poets for the future are the brightest
since l have been in the banking busi-
ness. l believe we are entering upon
4 wonderful era Of prosperity. provid-
ed, of course, that our people will con-
serve and preserve their resources and
reduce the cotton acreage even from
last years planting, and diversity their
crops in every way. They must also
enter heartily and co-operatively into
the spirit that is already possessing so
many of our people with reference to
stock raising If this is done nothing
can keep this section of our country
from going forward in leaps and
bllnds financially, and it will only be

pendable section of this whole country.
in order to do what We can as a
bank" said Mr. Kinard, speaking Of
the encouragement and help which he
proposed for his banking institution
to play in this development in our
immedite section, and manifesting
our keen appreciation for the excel
lent support and hearty cooperation
that the people Of Newberry county
have extended to US, We propose, dur
ing. the coming year, to strike down,
in so far as We can, and are able, tha,
monster detriment to the advancement
of so many people-credit-by fur
nishing the customers of our bank who
are able to give US bankable paper,
sufficient funds to economically ad-
minister their affairs upon cash
basis. And We propose to let our GUS
toners have this money at the rate Of
7 per cent in order to encourage tnem
to get on an economic basis, this be-
ing saving in the beginning of 12k
per cent of what they have been pay
ing for money. They will not only
save this, but on account of being
able to pay cash for what they buy,
they will save from 25 to 40 per cent
in addition, as will readily appear to
any man who has considered the mat
ter for a moment. This rate will NOT
apply to any particular class Of our
customers, but to all alike.
81 have given this matter of cred
its" said Mr.. Kinard, ''a great deal
of thought recently, and I am con-
vinced that by the carrying out of this
plan it will mean comfort and ulti-
mate independence to our customers" !"

at a rate less than 8 per cent is re-
freshing and encouraging, and we be-
1ieve will be of great benefit to his
bank, and will cause it to make more
money than it has ever made before.
Mr.. John M, Kinard, the president
of the Commercial bank, has made a
success of the institution over which he
presides, and he has given lot of
study in recent years to the subject of
credits, and We believe it is a true
boast of the bank that it has never
lost note, except small one, and
that one could have been collected by
suit, but it is against the policy of the
bank also to sue any one if it can pos
siblv be avoided, and up to this time,
during the twenty years of the life of
the bank, it has loaned many thousands
Of dollars and has never yet had to
sue to collect a note, except one note,
and that was afterwards collected
You may srest assured that Mr., XII

interests Of the bank, but in doing so

Broader Demand.

The demand of the United States
upon Austria in connection with the
Ancona case is broader than any Ger
man admission, being based upon the
contention that international law, The
Hague conventions and the declara-
ton Of London all require warning be-
fore sinking a vessel, and insurance Of
the safety of the passengers and crew.
even wnen the vessel is of belligerent
ownership. The Austrian government
has not admitted any such obligations
and recent events in the Mediterran-
can indicate that submarine command
ers are sinking merchantmen without
warning and without inquiry as to
whether they carry neutral passengers.
So far no explanation beyond that Of
military necessity has been offered.
Unless the expected note from that
government should amount to sud
den and total severance of diplomatic
relations, it is expected in official quar-
ters that the Austrian foreign Office
will seek to justify its methods, per-
haps adopting one of the original Ger
man contentious in the Lusitania case,
that the appearance of the submarine
as weapon of war has introduced
new problems and not only justified
but demanded departure from the

The man who thinks of something
to do for the other fellow is the one
whose memory is kept green, but he
is the one who is really happy, how
ever much the other fellow may try to
fool himself into the belief that be is
happy.
And that reminds me of sentence
saw quoted somewhere, and l think
credited to Bishop Denny of the METH
odist church, which reads like this:
'FTell me the things you remember and
will tell you the kind of man you
are" Well, now, just as Bishop Den
ny says, there is a whole lot of truth.
You know there are some people you
meet who will remember the unpleas-
ant and unkind things and the things
that are disagreeable, and they seem
never to think for a moment of the
pleasant and nice things, and tilen
there are those who do think always Of
the nice things and are all the time
saying nice things and they must think
nice and clean all the time.
But all wanted to do this time was
to say goodbye and AL revoir to old
1915, and may adj the years that are
to come be better and pleasanter, and
all that, to all the people of this great
land of ours.
WELL christmas came and hung
UP my stock as 1 said would, but old
Santa passed me up, and I didn't get
even a 'lim'' in mine, but l am mot
pouting or grouchy, because l am
glad that I had stock to hang up,
and other little children were made
happy Why, l used to nang up my
stock on New Years eve, but am not
going to do that this year. am almost
ashamed to say it, but fact is didn't
get but one remembrance all this
Christmas time and that was a nice
little Christmas card with all good
| wishes from the paragrapher of the
State, and 1 appreciate tnat and want
to return to him the same sentiment
i know that these people who read my
stuff every week appreciate it and are
benefited thereby, and they don't mean
anything by not telling me, and / am
glad to be able to serve them. When
so fine a paragrapher as that fellow
on the State thinks enough OF my stun
to send me a card / know it has sonee
thing in it worth while, and am made
bold to tell you that l am going to
continue to write for the old Herald
and News, if the editor will print it.
/ 1 am glad for this beau >iful balmy
weather and for the fact that no one
was killed in Newberry during this
time of peace and good will and tnat
all the merchants had a good trade and
that the people had the money to spend
and that they spent it. And that every
body feels good and that all Of US will
start on the new year with a buoyant
spirit and that the farmers are plant
ing grain and that they are going to
raise cattle and hogs and not play the.
fool by planting all cotton because the
price went up little the past fall
and made it possible for them and all
the rest Of us to feel like living. Again,
good bye, old 1915, may 1916 bring bet
ter things for all of US and may we
find the end better than the beginning.

good to be an optimist and dreamer,
but the trouble is you never have any

as the famous Jobs turkey, but all the
same they get a whole lot out of life
by dreaming about the things they are
going to have some time in the near
future, and ! reckon they get their
pleasure in the pursuit rather tnan in
the possession. That used to be "a
great subject for the debating societies
in the .country-Was there more pleas

those who believe that happiness is
within. 1t all rests with the individual.
If he is stingy and mean and selfish
he can not be happy though he may

beginning to take on the aspects Of a
crisis, the status of the negotiations
OF the United States over submarine
warfare against merchantmen, no.
with Austria alone, but with the Teu-
tonic powers as allies, is commanding
attention. Although Germany has
given the United States assurances
that she will conform to the principle
of visits and search before attack, the
practices against which the United
States so vigorously contended are be-
ing carried on now BY her ally, Aus
tria, and it has been charged that the

Germany has admitted ner obliga-

SISSON TALKS AT
MONDAY MEETING
OF EDUCATION DE.
LIvERS ADDRESS TO CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE MEMBERS
Tells Something Of the Work Of the
State Board of Education in the
State of Idaho

Nothing that could happen would
ton than improvements in the ele-
mentary Schools said Commissioner
of Education E. 0. Sisson, in an ad-
dress at the Chamber of Commerce
luncheon today, when speaking of the
work of the State Board Of Education
The eIdcgIiohaI system of idaho is
unique said Mr.. Sisson, differing
widely from that of any other state
and being superior to others in its
essential feature is that it regards the
educational affairs of the state as a
single coherent, unified problem, and
one of it's important characteristics is
the Capitalization of control in sin
gle board
Three important functions are to be
performed by the board and its Of
ficers, according to the speaker, the
administration of the affairs of the
States educational institutions of all
classes, the exercise of supervisory
power over the public schools, and
the preparation and presentation to
the legislature of data bearing on the
affairs of the state.
Among the matters referred to in
the course Of his remarks were a study
of the problems of the children at the
industrial school and their bearing on
the affairs of the public schools, and
the financial difficulties that confront
many of the school districts OF the
state.
