YOU AND YOUR BANK
ACCOUNT.

account, and gives you a pass
book and a check book, he has
the right to expect certain things
from you, as you have the right,
legally and morally, to expect GER
tain things from him.
In the first place, he has the
right to expect a profit from your
account. Banking is an eXpen-
sive business. 1t costs a certain
amount to. handle every check
that passes through the bank,
and every account should contrib
ute a portion to the expenses OF
the bank however small. When
your banker asks you to keep a
certain balance, he is merely ask
ing his right to a profit from your
account. 1t is easily to be seen
that if you keep small balance,
say ten dollars, and the banker
furnishes you with stationery,
does the necessary bookkeeping
on the account (for your benefit
as well as his) the earning power
of that ten dollars, even if it were
invested at per cent, would be
insufficient to compensate him for
The cost attending that account.
Therefore be generous and give
him a chance to make a profit;
for as every sale of merchandise
should show profit, so every bank
account should at least pay it's
way. Give him as large a balance
as you can possibly kept will
help you very much in his esti-
nation, help your credit, and add
to your self respect.
Second. Never overdraw. In
national banks overdrafts are now
forbidden, but whether they were
or not, you have no right to ask
it. 1t hurts your credit with the
banker. 1t is forced loan with
out security, and is a poor bust
ness practice.
Sometimes an overdraft is al
lowed as a matter of accommOda-
tion, and sometimes in order that
the credit of the drawer with the
holder Of the check may not be
impaired; but it is bad practice,
gets you in wrong all over and
should neither be asked nor eX-
pected
Third. Do not draw against
"uncollected funds. e" By uncol-
lected funds is meant checks that
have not been collected. For in
stance, if you have balance OF
800, and deposit hundred dol
lar check and draw your own
check for $3.50, you have taken all
the original deposit and half Of
the amount represented by the
check just deposited. The bank
er must send that check, let us
say to New York, and wait for
advice that it is paid before know
ing that it has been paid, which
may take three or four days. You
are asking him to pay out his
money three days in advance Of
it's receipt, a practice which good
banks frown upon and will not
allow. Lastly, draw your checks
properly, as outlined in the next
talk, and have your pass book
balanced once a month. Doing
these things consistently, your
banker will be a good friend and
you will be a good customer, in
favor with one who can do you
many favors.

other state

A movement has been started
to reopen the beet sugar factory
at Waverly, this state, and prellm-
mary Investigations show that the
main difficulty to be overcome is
securing the necessary acreage.
Capitalists have agreed to furnish
the money, providing contracts
can be obtained for growing 5000
acres Of beets year for five years
Outside Of acreage and capital,
low freight rates are the only
other vital element to be cOnsid-
cred, and those interested have
been assured that rates can be Sc
cured that will permit beets to be
brought to Waverly within rail
distance of 200 miles. This means
that not only can the Spokane
valley raise beets for factory at
Waverly, but that the Colville
valley can make good profit on
them. Judging by past condi-
tions there will also be many Pa
louise farmers who will grow from
five to twenty acres.
To raise an acre Of sugar beets,
including payment for all team
and hand work, costs approxim-
ately $50. At Sc ton, five tons
Of beets will return the outlay.
The former figures of the Wav-
erly factory show that the gen
eral average yield in that district
was from seven to eight tons an
acre, while the best farmers aver
aged over ten tons an acre. In
der irrigation more dependent
crops can be secured and a great
or tonnage.
If there are farmers who would
be interested in growing beets,
providing a market is secured, the
Spokane Chamber Of Commerce
desires to get in touch with them
so that arrangements may be
made to reopen the Waverly fac
tory.

According to the state board
# health, Washington has the
lowest death rate of any state in
the union. 1t was so low in 1914
that the federal census bureau re-
fused to publish it. They assert
that the population is over es-
timated. Well, the census bu-
reau did the estimating and so
far as we have been able to learn,
did not ask any advice from the
people of Washington as to how
hight or how low the estimate
hould be. But if they cut our
estimated population to the low
est possible figure we would still
show the lowest death rate of any
tate in the union. In fact, if our
population were left where it was
in 1910 we would be right along
with the lowest. We have a low
death rate, just how low we can
not say until a census is taken,
but it is certainly as low, and
probably lower than that Of any
other state.

Congressman G. c. Dill, unlike
the other congressman from this

trouble to prepare and introduce
a bill into congress for the relief

where it is impossible to do the
requisite amount of clearing ia
the time prescribed by the easy

sires to retain these homesteaders,

fast as human energy will permit.

rich salad dressings are not appropri.
ate for either fruit or meat or fish
salads.
The materials to be used for salad
should be free from water. Carefully
dry all lettuce and fruit after washing
for oil will not mix with water. French
dressing is the general favorite for
crisp vegetable salads as it is quickly
prepared. A vinegar that has been
used on picked beets, or cucumbers
should always be saved to use in salad
dressings. When making the boiled
variety the spiced vinegar makes an
unusual flavor which is we'll liked.
If a color scheme is to be carried
out little vegetable coloring may be
added to the dressing. A pretty COM
bination is chopped beets with dress
ing colored light pink. Garnish the
salad with white leaves of lettuce.

GERMANS CLOSING
IN ON FRENCH
Hammering Hard to the North

SMASHING WITH BIG SHELLS

bardments.

Paris.-The German Infantry at
tacks have been greatly Increased to
the northwest of Verdu14 between
Bethtncourt and the Meuse, and the
Germans have made gain in that i'm
portant sector, getting a foothold In
the Corbeaux Wood, which lies to the
southwest of the Cote de L'Oie. The
Germans have also taken the village
Of Fresnes, in the Woevre; southeast
of Verdun. They have occupied Hill
No. 265.
The official statement issued by the
War Office makes this admission, but
declares all other attacks in that
neighborhood were repulsed.
The report follows:
'In the Argonne, in the region Of
Avocourt, our special guns shelled a
German aeroplane, which fell within
our lines. The two aviators, who were
wounded, were made prisoners.
West of the Meuse the lombard
ment with big shells continued with
great intensity. In the course of the
day the enemy multiplied his infantry
actions between Bethincourt and the
Meuse. These attacks were repulsed.
except in the sector of the Bois des
Corbeaux, where the enemy was able
to gain foothold.
East OF the Meuse.
"To the east of the Meuse, follow
ing violet artillery action in the
region of the Bois du'HardaumOnt, the
Germans succeeded in entering re-
doubt, from which they were imme-
diately elected by our counter-attack.
''In the Woevre the enemy occupied
the village of Fresnes after an engage
ment which cost him serious losses.
''In the Vosges we bombarded
cantonments at Diffenbach, east of
Muhlbach, and enemy trenches in the
region of Wattwiller."
From the above report it is evident
that, foiled in their attempts to carry
Douaumont plateau, the Germans are
turning their attention to other parts
of the line and are driving at French
positions west of the Meuse, while
their artillery keeps the French busy
elsewhere and their infantry has been
making attacks in the Woevre district.
AS the first result of their drive to
the west of the Meuse, the Germans
took the town of Forges, and since
have advanced further to the south
and southeast. The capture of Forges,
which was only an advance post and
not strongly held, was apparently the
first step in a serious effort to storm
the long crest, extending from the
Meuse to Forges Brook.
