SERVICE

I \ point of service to humanity the Elephant
L Butte dam is destined to play unique part in
the development of the Southwest commensurate
with its great size and its standing among the en-
gineering accomplishments of the world. Without
it. and the vast amount of water stored behind it,
the vast acreage Of the valleys of the Rio Grande
in New Mexico and Texas, below it would be COM
paratively barren. With its dependable service of
water these lands take added value which
scarcely can be calculated. Without the water,
which will be served from the storage lake, which
the dam impOunds, the crops grown through de-
pendence upon haphazard rains, would hardly be
worth considering With a dependable water service
millions of dollars added every year to the wealth
of the nation.
Service has been the watchword of the Rio
Grande Valley Bank & Trust Co. from its inception.
As much care is taken of the small or occasional
depOSiOr is bestowed upon the wealthiest patron
of the bank. The boy depOsiting his nickels and
dimes today may be the merchant with thousands
to his account a few years hence. Thrift is en-
coUraged by the Rio Grande Valley Bank & Trust
Co., and one of the principal elements in the en-
couragement of thrift is to give such service as to
make every depOsitOr feel that the bank takes a
personal interest in his financial we'll being This
the Rio Grande Valley Bank & Trust Co. does.

EFFICIENCY

THE Elephant Butte dam is monument to eff
cheney of the engineers of construction. From
the moment pen put to paper in the formation
Of the plans of the great structure till the last stone
is laid in place in its completed parapet, not detail
left to chance The result of this efficiency on
the part of the engineers will be greater efficiency
the part of the dam as whole in the great part
it is destined to play in the conversion of 100000
acres of desert lands into productive farms, the
homes of tens of thousands of prosperous and con-
tented men, women and children.
In this respect another parallel may be found
between the Elephant Butte dam and the Rio
Grande Valley Bank & Trust Co. As in the case of
the engineers of the dam so in the founders and
builders Of the bank Both aimed at efficiency not
only in the matter Of construction, but in service
to the general public The growth of the institution
proves the foregoing statement. Ten years ago its
resources were but $131, 600. Today they are 3d.
100000 This remarkable growth is but a mani
festaton in very concrete form of the confidence in
and in its methods held by the people of the South
west Patrons of banks demand efficiency and only
efficient bankers command the respect of the
banking public.

STRENGTH

fully represented in the illustration above is the
persOnfication of strength It is the largest mass
of masonry in the world, containing $4,000 cubic
yards concrete and stOne reinforced by hundreds of
thousands Of tons of steel To giveit firm foundation
thousands of men abored for months to the end that
it might be rooted upon everlasting rock. It probes
more than 100 feet below the bottom of the river,
and grips the living granite with base 215 feet
thick. 1t rises to height of 3O5 feet, and its top
Will be permanent roadway from wall to wall of
the Rio Grande canyon distance of 1854 feet
Nothing more massive has been conceived by the
mind of man.
How similar in many respects is the institution
known as the Rio Grande Valley Bank & Trust Co.
As the Elephant Butte dam is the symbol of
strength among engineering feats of the world the
Rio Grande Valley Bank & Trust Co. is a tower of
strength among the financial and fiduciary instit
tons of the Southwest, and for much the same
reason Care was taken to establish it on a firm
foundation upon the bedrock Of success and from
the moment its foundation laid until the present
day, nothing was left mdOne by those entrusted

OWE DEBT TO WOMEN
British Government AcknoWl-
edges Aid of Fair Sex.
Momentous Question at the Close o,
the War Will Concern the Dis
position of Those Who Have
Taken Places of Men.

In Great Britain there are two sub
jects occupying the attention of wom-
en- just now. The first is how best
to keep in touch and train the women
who volunteered their services to the
government at the beginning of the
war and who have not yet been called
into service. The second is whether
or not the women who are holding
positions formerly occupied by men
shall spend their wages or hoard 1t.
Considering this question the women
point out that everybody. the whole
nation. is being urged to spend. to
keep the money in circulation and to
help ease the financial situation for
the sake of the country.
On the other hand, the majority Of
these women are dependent on their
exertions for a living, and many Of
them had been out of work when
taken on by the government in place
of men gone to war. Now when the
war ends and these men return they
will lose their jobs. At club meet
ings. indeed at practically all gath
erings of women, even over the tea
cups. this question is being seriously
discussed.
Along with 1t and of equal import
ance is the question of keeping to-
gether and rendering more efficient
that part of the $4,000 women volun-
teers for whom the government has
so far found no need. The latest and
so far the most practical solution to
this problem is to establish a train
ing school for these women volun-
teers. This school to be operated
through the war office. the women
to be paid for their time and work,
and be trained for the fields In which
they will sooner or later be needed.
To get the best results 1t Is urged
that there should be a board Of voca-
tional advisers in connection with the
work.
In spite of the fact that these wom-
en- offered their services at the re-
quest Of the government, men In
various occupations have refused to
serve with them. The most pro-
nounced stand was taken by the tram
drivers and conductors in Edinburgh
When the first crowd of men left the
company to 60 to the front the COM
pany tried to put women in their
places as tram conductors. The men
working on the lines refused to work
with women conductors, so the COM
pany was forced to hunt up other men
to take the place Of those gone to
war.
