MARK THIS MAN

Breathes there a man with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said,

II such there be, go mark him well;

No angels watch the golden stair
To welcome home a millionaire.
The man who never asks for trade
In local papers, oft displayed,
Cares more for rest than worldly gain,
And patronage but gives him pain.
Tread lightly, friends; let no rude
sound
Disturb his solitude profound.
I'ere let him live in calm repose
Cnsought except by men he owes.
And when he dies, go plant him deep,
That naught may break his dreamless
sleep,
Where no rude elamor may dispel
The quiet that he loves so well.
And that the world may know it's loss

ELEVATION

A very marked variation exists
in the land elevation of the
United States. Let us take as
an example Los Angeles as a
central point and go straight
east into the continent. Within
100 miles we reach a height of
about 5000 feet above sea level,
whereas if we go the opposite
way and proceed into the Pacific
Ocean we find this has a depth
of 200 feet at a point about 400
miles from the coast. This depth
is reached on a gradual slope.
The first 25 miles are less than
600 feet deep while in the course
of the next 100 miles we reach a
depth of 800 feet.
Over one half Of the state OF
New Mexico is more than 1000
feet above sea level; and the
other half is more than 1000 feet
above sea level.
Lake Superior is 60l feet above
sea level, Lake Michigan 581
Lake Huron 581, Lake Erie 81:
and Lake Ontario 247 feet above
sea level.
The altitude of Askov is 1l5l
feet, which is the highest point
| between the Twin Cities anc
Twin Ports.

ONE ON THE EDITOR

An Oklahoma editor tells of an
old Indian who came to his office
to subscribe for the paper. The
editor took the money, but the
Indian wanted a receipt. The
editor tried to talk him out Of it,
but the Indian insisted on getting
a receipt. After making it out
the editor wanted to know why
he was so persistent about want
ing receipt. The Indian said:

balance struck. This obviates
the necessity of balancing the
pass book, which becomes merely
a memorandum Of deposits made.
Whatever the method, You
should not delay reconciling the
balance. 1t is easily to be seen
that the banks balance will not
agree with your check book, by
reason of the fact that you may
have issued checks which may
not have been presented for pay
ment. 1t is a good plan to con-
slider every check issued as inn
mediately paid, and deducted
from your bank balance. If you
do this, you will never be de-
ceived as to the condition of your
account.
Number all checks consecutive
ly and when returned from the
bank arrange them numerically,
and check them as to amount
with the check book stubs. After
YOU have ascertained what checks
you have issued that have not
been paid, subtract the amount
from the balance shown by the
bank, which should agree with
your own balance. If any differ
ence occurs, after assuring your
self that you are right, report
the matter at once to the bank.
1t is we'll to examine the checks
returned to see that they are all
signed by you, and that the
amounts have not been raised,
the latter being proven from the
checking process above noted
If you will follow these simple
directions, and see that your ac'
count is reconciled at least every
sixty days, it will help both you
and the bank officials, for they

RECONCILING YOUR
BANK ACCOUNT

If you keep a checking account
with a bank it is important both
to you and to the bank to know
that your accounts agree. Errors
are liable to be made on both
Sides, A deposit that should have
gone to your account may have
been credited to one with a simi-
lar name, and likewise a check
may have been wrongly charged
against your account. Forgerles
may have been committed thru
your checks, and errors inciden-
tai to keeping large number Of
accounts are always possible. 1t
becomes important, therefore, to
frequently adjust your balance
with that of the bank, both for
the sake of protection and for
the sake of accuracy.
A great many banks balance
the pass book when left for this
purpose. by listing on the adding
machine the paid checks, deduct
ing the amount from the total of
the deposits, the difference repre-
senting the amount on deposit,
Other banks now issue a monthly
statement in the form Of typed
sheet. containing all deposits
made and checks paid, with the

BOGUS FIVE DOLLAR BILLS
ARE I'm CIRCULATION

i. Examine your currency care
fully, especially bills Of the So
denomination. If the bills dis
play an Indian head and the
feathers show a blank space near
the base, instead of a delecate
tracing, it is counterfeit. United
States bank inspectors have
found many counterfeit silver
certificates, and are confiscating
them as fast as they appear.
According to Henry 5. Mac
gregor, cashier Of the City
National bank, none OF the
counterfeits has been presented
at that bank. Other bankers
also asserted that little if any OF
the spurious money has been cir
culated here. West End Adver-

lights, it's dazzling wealth and
amazing poverty; New York |
with it's eternal noises, its cease
less rumbling of the subway |
trains, it's nerve raeking thunder
of the Elevated" it's murders,
suicides and society scandals,
New York with its magnificent
buildings, it's wonderful theaters,
it's far-famed museums and art
collections; New York with its
mighty stretch of harbor where
ships from all the seven seas
come and go, its weird and pic
turesque conglomeration of peo-
pie from all the countries on
earth: New York the wonder of
the modern world, in itself a
complete world comprising all
virtues and vices, all energy and
power, all successes and failures:
An immense mirror picture of
that wide world where humanity
breathes, grows, loves, hates,
struggles and dies--only to be
succeeded by other generations
| in ages vet to come.
And then the other day:
Askov! Contrasts emphasize.
And yet, the contrasts to be seen
in the picture of New York and
that of Askov is chiefly one of
size; for Askov seems, in a way,
as complete a picture of human
ity as does that gigantic city on
the shore of the Atlantic.
| The world of Askov was Gre
ated only ten years ago, and now
the inhabitants of that place and
Of it's immediate vicinity have
made out Of the wilderness an
orderly and organized abode
where nothing lacks, except the
conspicuous vices. The Askov
people found that certain facili-
ties were needed for the pursuit
of their daily work. And they
made them. They did not sit
down waiting for the wonders
that make worlds Of wilderness
they simply worked. They might
have found it easy and beautiful
to dream of days to come, but
they found it far more beautiful
to work for the realization o1
their dreams.
And 10! Askov sprang forth
people came from distant parts
of the country to help in the up
building; they titled the soil, they
sold their goods, they built Their
attractive homes, their school ~
already too small, and they estab
lished stores that could provide
them with far more than th'
bare necessities Of life. The!
found time to build a church, t.
plan a park, to form associations
! for mutual welfare, inStructlo,
and pleasure. So far, they have
wisely thought they could dis
pend with saloons and puDll
dance halls.
Thus. the people of Asko'
/ made themselves respected b,
their neighbors in Pine Count,
and in other nearby districts
and admired by people through
