SOUTHERN BANKS

Mr.. Harding, Of Alabama, Democrat
ic member Of the Federal Reserve
Board, seeks to Justify the sending Of
thirty millions Of government money
TO the South on the ground that South
ern banks have been charging extor-
tionate interest to the cotton planters.
''Girard" Of the Philadelphia "Pub-
JIG Ledger" thus p~ungently comments
on the proceeding:
"'Does it square with rigid morals
and sound economies to do this thing:
Lend a man $40 50 that he will tenn
porarily stop robbing somebody elsel
Is that a good way to prevent theft

Well, out in Arkansas a national
bank has charged 100 per cent interest
on a loan-sl2O for the mere use Of
500 for one year. ANOTHER bank made
it, customer pay $50 and another $50
for the use Of 800 for a year.
"In Alabama five banks collected an
average Of 20 per cent, and ID Georgia

LYNCH ROOMS MUST HAVE CERTIFICATES
 FOR PASTRY SALES

Sanitary Health Inspector C. How ard Dunbar yesterday began cru sade of inspection of the various bak- cries in this city The inspection will center on restaurants and lunch rooms that bake their own pastry. Many owners have failed to procure the state certificate necessary when the sanitary health inspector visits the place.
 The crusade will also be the means of providing proper ventilation and will benefit the employees of the bak- cries as " ell as the patrons of the res- taurants who partake of the pastry. Many restaurant owners claim they do not have to procure the state cer- tifcste as they bake for their own use and not for sale. The statutes call for the obtaining of the certificate whether they bake for their own use or for sale.
