MAKES GOOD CITIZENS
SAVINGS BANK FULFiLLS PUR
POSE OF ITS CREATION.
Need Of Developing institution to En-.
able Poor Men to Accumulate
Money Long Recognized.

The rich were getting richer and the
poor were getting poorer a century
ago just as it is today Students and
statesmen suddenly came to the reali-
zation of the horrors of poverty and
the results of concentrating wealth
in the hands of the few. This all fol-
lowed in the wake of the French reVo-
luton study was made of the
primal causes for such condition
The conclusions reached were that the
possession of property by citizen
gave him certain degree Of respect
toward the property belonging to 9th
ers, ranking him generally as a peace
full, contented, and bappy-because
prosperous-citizen, unit of power
and strength to the commonwealth.
Thus the germ of the idea of the saw
ings bank fell upon fertile field.
Many plans for savings were con-
ceived, some practical and others
visionary. 1t remained, however, for
Rev. Henry Duncan of Dumbriesshire,
Scotland, to hit upon the first practical
scheme for savings bank and to put
1t into execution. This first savings
bank, organized in 1910, was after
wards merged into what is today the
Edinburgh Sacings bank, one of the
foremost savings banks in Great
Britain. The idea spread throughout
Europe, and soon came across the At
lantic. simultaneously in Boston
New York and in Philadelphia copies
of pamphlet fell into the hands of
prominent citizens. 1t was the plan
of savings bank then being formed
in London.
The first meeting to organize saw
iIgs bank was held in New York city.
The first bank to be incorporated was
in Boston and Philadelphia holds the
honor of opening the first savings ac-
count in the United States on Decem-

ings and loan associations were ere

pie saw the advantage of laying a
little aside for rainy day, which
necessitated the establishment OF
more banks for savings Up until
this time the mutual type of savings
bank predominated. This type Of
bank had no capital stock and was
fundamentally a philanthropic, mo-
charitable, institution, based upon tht
object of encouraging thrift.
The second type of bank for savings
was more of a business bank and wal
called a capital stock savings bank
1t supplied the need. Money deposited
with it was just as safe as with th'
mutual type. few years thereafte
the ordinary commercial banks, whicl

Helping Each Other,

Sometimes we can help each other
best by letting each other alone. At
other times we need the friendly hand
clasp and the word of cheer. Men are
under the domain of natural law as

co-operation-a frictionless, efficient
working together. Men also succeed
only by working harmoniously with
other men, and for other men as well
as for themselves.

FARMING UP-TO-DATE

Early to bed and early to rise," is a
 motto long associated with the farmer
 and the farms. He is the man who the sun rises over the horizon and because of this early morning venture he usually seeks his rest in the fore part of the evening. Down in Lans- dale, Pennsylvania, however, the farmers have somewhat changed the slogan. Because of the late coming
 of Spring and the attendant setback
 to the crops these men have devised
 a new system of farming which
 eventually might revolutionize all ag-
 ricultural pursuits and make the
 farmer as much of a "night-owp' as
 his city brother. Ploughing by arti
 ficial light all through the night is
 the latest phase of farming at Lans-
 dale. A tractor engine is brought
 into this newest service on the farm.
 It is equipped with an acetylene gas
 tank and a searchlight. By means of
 this arrangement the Lansdale farm CTS who employed three shifts of men were able to continue their plough ing weight hours without a stop. Thus does science conquer nature.
 Ordinarily one would say the farm CT spent enough time at his labor
 without inviting any such scheme as l this to prolong his working hours. It is no unusual thing for the man on the farm to start at his work shortly after four o'clock in the morning and to keep plugging away until seven or eight o'clock at night. The farmers, as vet, have not joined the union, and an eighteen hour day for them is no cause for a "strike.' During the their much needed lay-off, but in the Spring, and Summer, and early Autumn, they are everlastingly at their chores. The introduction of
 tractor engines, and searchlights may
 he the means of teaching bad habits
 to the men who raise our comesti- h1es and other foodstuffs. Once the gay white lights get to blazing on the old farm there is no telling what may happen. While the experiment at Lansdale came about because of an emergency it may have a tendency to somewhat alter present day working conditions in the rural districts. In some sections of the country the farm
