~ banker long an ohacer OF the
oldest bank in Minnesota, In telling
how four young men developed a
successful business, said:
Their first visit to the bank
really established their credit. In
that first visit they left their bank
books for collection of the amounts
due to each of them at their saw
ing. bank in the city from which
they came.
These savings-bank books repre-
scented their cash capital, but to me
they represented much more than
that. Their deposits and almost en-
tire absence of Withdrawals indi-
Gated an established habit of saving
On their part and also on the part
of their families (for they were all
marrted) for the purpose of carry
ing out this project which they had
planned a long time ahead.
with such determination for
work and willingness to deny them
selves in order to save something
each month out Of their earnings, it
was hardly possible for these young
men not to succeed.
"They had been highly success
full because they acquired saving
habits early in life and thereby ac-
cumulated their capital before enter
ing business for themselves, while
so many are not willing now to
practice any self-denial, but some
how always expect to begin saving
at some future time, with the re-
suit that they never acquire the
habit or the capital.
"A banker necessarily takes these
various things into consideration
when asked to grant line of credit.
They mean much to him from the
standpoint Of the moral risk.
Could there possibly be any clearer
guide-board to success than the
words of this old banker?

The new organization includes
over 1000 officers and men, twenty
six ships of sea-going type, twenty
harbor tugs and nearly 800 coast
guard stations. The disadvantages
which prevented many ambitious
young men from entering the re

have been overcome by making the
same provisions for the coast guard
as for the army and navy, including
pensioned retirement after thirty
years of service, increased pay for
re-enlistment, and provision for de-
pendents of men who lose their lives
In service.
The first records of the combined
service for a year show that for
each dollar expended there has been
a saving Of $500 worth of prop
erty from danger at sea. In addi-
ton, 5,238 lives have been saved
and thirty-one derelicts obstructing

the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and
great lakes, but will be called into

property are endangered by great

OUFRETARO.
. "a ~ 8. e o

Oueretaro, Mexico, ever the center
of the most dramatic incidents in the
history of the land of Montezumas
has Just fallen out of the hands OF
one revolutionary faction and into the
possession of another.
It's narrow, stone-paved streets now
echo to the tread of the troops of one
faction and now another: Its many
churches, erected during the centuries
when Spain grew rich from the mines
of Mexico, are listening to the con
LESSONS of the free-roving cavalry OF
the north that has paused here to do
penance. In the Plaza de la lndepen-
dencia, where Macmillan awaited his
end, is camped the military rabble,
which drinks of the fountain estao-
lished by the munifcence OF an early
patriot. The church bells clamor out
deafeningly over a similar scene in
very center of the town, where the
booksellers offer many old and
quaint volumes and the opal vendors
harvest many ne1ltgitfmate dol
lar from the tourist.
Queretaro is the gateway from
North to Mexico City, 10 miles
away. 1t rests upon a high plaeau
which is undecided as to whether
1t shall be a productive plain or
desert. A composite OF the AzCecs
who built it and the Spaniards who
followed, largely untouched by the
new influences of Mexico, Queretaro,
pink-walled and red tiled, is set
like a gem in the clear air of cen
Just back of the city stands the
chapel, which, a decade ago. the
Austrian government built to mark
the spot where Macmillan. its son
of romance, it's emperor for day,
faced a firing squad OF which Vic.
toriana Huerta, recently president OF
Mexico, and now under arrest in
Ell Paso, was member. Here ended
the most fantastic vision of one
man conquest that the modern world
has known.
Queretaro is also the cradle OF
Mexican independence. Here stands
a building that is virtually the In
dependence hall of that nation. In
it the conspiracy was Matched that
freed the nation from Spain. Here
today may be seen the lock through
the keyhole of which a woman
whispered the word that led to the
birth of a nation.
