splitting the wine of death than to one
that coarsely chronicles the shedding
of seven buckets of blood.
But that wasn't what l started out
to tell about. Here is the big story in
that book review: MIR Mccormick is
major of the first cavalry of the ILL
nois National Guard (B'gosh) and,
although he has had no experience
in actual warfare, he knows more
about it's conduct than the average
war correspondent
The B'gosh is ours. It wasn't in the
book-review.
l am sorry MAZE BERTHE didn't send
me copy of the book. For he went
to Russia in February and has writ
ten the history of the world from the
time he landed on the other side I'M
til the end of April, when it was Joe
Medill Patterson's turn to take a
crack at history and the MAZE had to
come home. All the same it must be
a quite whole lot of history, with
much external news about the Rus
sian army, especially the Grand Juke
Nick. And as we take no advertising
for pay, this free ad of the Worlds
Greatest History of the World from
Feb. to April, 1915, by Our Own Hero,
is given to our common country free
gratis for nothing.

AND THE INGERSoLL GOSPEL

l listened to an orator at a cor

duces a small bible, works himself up
to an angry state and pronounces to
his audience that this book is rot

Payne and IngersoI. I try to find a
reason for this speakers presence
there, but feel disappointedly dis

even read Payne and Ingerson well.
That he studied them is out of the
question. Neither did his partner.
Some of their quotations were wrong.
You can imagine of what sort their
interpretations were. Another ora.

FLYING BOATS

Immense possibilities of sport and
usefulness are opened UP by the In
ventlon of 9 new type tof hydroplane
which travels solely upon the sur
face Of the water. but Is driven by an
aerial propeller like an aeroplane.
The most remarkable quality Of
this type of boat Is that the faster
1T goes. the higher 1t rises In the
water and the less resistance the
water offers; SO that the speed In.
|creases in much higher ration thar
the power. expended. In a word, the
faster you co.. the faster you can 60
until the limit imposed by the re-
sistance of the air is reached.
The essentials of such craft are
a central hull. containing the engine
and seats. a propeller on a shaft
above the hull, and floats or outrig
gers to maintain the balance. The
chief difficulty is in steering, which
becomes increasingly, dificult AZ the
speed increases.
A recent patent by a French in.
ventor solves this difficulty by max.
ing the lateral floats the steering, al
well as the balancing, apparatus
They are equipped with a number Of
small adjustable planes, like fms
which may be controlled from tht
boat while 1t Is in motion. Thu.
by setting these mechanical Ans al
various angles, the direction OF the
boat may be perfectly controllel. ev
ZEN though the central hull is raised
entirely out of the water by Its
speed.

It can not be said of Governor Hat

those who seek to have West Vir-
ginia pay part of the old Virginia
debt The earnestness he employs in
trying to show the fact that West
Virginia owes none of the debt could
not be more sincere as shown not
only by word but also by deed. The
governor Is alert to the situation
and there will be no mistakes on the
part Of this state in further conduct

The Great Value of Savings Banks.
There is no surer evidence of the
prosperity OF a community than
when its savings banks show healthy
and growing deposits. Burlington
Hawkeye.
Following are half a dozen out
standing advantages of using a
savings bank or the savings depart
ment Of commercial bank or trust
company.
/. Safety. Savings banks are the
safest financial institutions in this
country. Recent statistics showed
the total liabilities Of failed savings
banks in proportion to the aggregate
deposits of all such banks to be only
about six ten-thousandeths of one per
cent t.0006 per cent Deduction for
the amount realized on the sub
stantial assets Of those few unfor-
tunate institutions still further re-
duces the already influential loss to
depositors.
2. Ability to withdraw or deposit
any amount at any time. Some banks
have a minimum for deposit, all
though 1t is usually low one-5
cents, 25 cents. so cents OF dollar,
as the case may be- In different
states there is a different 1ilGS;mum
for savings deposits, ranging from
$1,000 to $4,000 or $4,000. ordi-
narily money can be withdrawn with
out any notice whatever. In times
of panic or possible panic, however,
a thirty or sixty day rule may be en-
forced.
9. Regular Income. There are
few, II any, other Investments where
it is possible to put in. small, odd
amounts at any time and have your.
money begin to earn interest prompt
", as 1t does in savings account.
Savings bank interest is something
YOU can depend upon.
A.. Compound Interest. The In
weston in bonds or stocks must coll
lect his interest or dividends. and II
he does not use the money. must at
tend personally to investing It. In
terest allowed by the bank at the end
OF a given period. il not withdrawn,
is placed to the depositor's credit,
and itself draws interest from from
that time on, thus automatically be-
coming part OF the deposit. That
means constant increase In the
amount at interest. and in the inter-
est payments.
s. Freedom from Tax. In most
states savings bank deposits are free
from taxation by state or local au-
thorities.
i s. The Habit OF Saving. Last.
but by no means least. Of the adj
vantages Of a savings account is what
might be called the reflex influence
on the depositor himself. It firmly
fixes in him the valuable habit OF
saving. which will be life long BEN
eft to him.
