Talks On Banking
HOtU the Saving Bank Helps

The savings bank has been likened
to reservoir into which flow the lit
tle streams, to be assembled into one
mass. out of which flows the larger
stream, powerful because Of its vol
ume. The savings bank bestows its
greatest benefits upon the individual
and the community by this reservoir
process. Scattered dollars are impo-
tent dollars. Assembled dollars are
powerful dollars. A thousand dollars
divided among a thousand different
men are Of little consequence to the
nossessor or to the body as a whole
hut when the thousand dollars are
The property OF one individual, they
become of vastly more power than
the sum total OF the individual units.
The cOngregated fund moves in one
direction, and has a common aim,
whereas the scattered dollars all have
different ends and aims.
The beneficial work OF the savings
,ank can best be seen by a simple IL
iustration, drawn from actual fact and

and the fund begins TO do its work
Each workman depends for his pay
upon the savings bank, which will

Ell PASO, Oct. 13.-whether It is
within the province of the National
Government 70 furnish funds for set
tiers on the unsettled lands OF the
United States will be one OF the vital
questions discussed when the Interna-
tional Irrigation Congress meets here
tomorrow.
Il has been held that II the Recla-
nation act OF 1902, under the opera
ton of which most OF the Reclamation
work throughout the United States Is
being done, is to be really effective,
something more must be done under
IT'S operation than the mere building
of dams and the digging OF bitches.
In the early days of the reclama-
tion OF arid lands by means OF irriga-
tion under direction Of the United
States Reclamation Service. Il was be-
lieved sufficient TO build the dams,
dig the bitches and provide the water
II has since been found that this
has not been enough 10 insure the
success Of the settler.
Too many OF the settlers attracted
TO the reclaimed lands have failed
through lack Of capital. Il is now be-
lieved that IL is necessary not only
10 provide moisture for crops but Ia
finance the settler on irrigated lands
until he can earn his living and pay
