Talks on Thrift
TALKS ON THRIFT
When You Borrow Money


In the course of human events it
becomes necessary for most people to
borrow money. Business men who
can make it profitable to borrow in
order TO carry on business on larger
scale. discount their bills and carry
complete stocks. Others find it de-
sirable at times to borrow for vari-
Gus purposes, and some find it neces-
sary to borrow because they have
either failed to save, or have been I'M
able to save and are confronted with
exigency that requires money.
Should you at any time find your
self in such a condition, do not bor-
row from your friends, go to your
bank. That is what banks are for
They live by their loans, and no bank
err will refuse loan that meets GER
tain requirements and is in his esti-
nation good. 1t is proposed in the
next two or three talks on banking
to tell you what the banker wants to
know when you offer him your note.
Whether the loan is large or small
the same rules apply.
In the first place the banker will
expect you to be a depositor. Most
banks make it rule to lend to only
those who are customers, and custom
ers mean depositors. If you favor
the banker with your account, Civ
ing him a profit from the use of your
money, he will be glad to reciprocate
and let you use his money when you
need it and offer the proper security.
The rule is we'll established to lend
i'm the proportion of not over five to
one: that is, if you keep balance Of
500, the banker would lend you $500,
if he thought well of your credit
standing. The greatest mistake BUSH
ness men make is to keep little or no
balance in the bank and then expect
the bank to accommodate them with
loans.
Take the actual case that happened
recently within the experience of the
writer of these talks. A business
man wanted note of 500 discounted
to meet his payroll. The banker
knew him. His moral standing was
good. In looking up the account his
balance was but fifty cents. Now
what did that Indicate? Just this:
That the would-be borrower had
trusted everybody until his capital
was on his books, here, there and ev-
erywhere, and he was not collecting
his bills. He had no "free money" to
carry on his business. He had no
working capital. He was strapped"
The banker was perfectly justified in
asking the borrower either to make
better collections, or get his affairs
in such shape that when pay day came
he would not have to depend upon
borrowed money to pay his men.
Nothing so hurts an application for
loan in a we'll managed bank as a
low average balance, and all good
bankers give heed to this factor.
Therefore. as a starting point, do your
business through bank, depositing
your receipts and making your pay
ments by check, and keep a balance
large enough to gain the bankers
good will when he looks at his ledgers
to see how much of your money you
have available when the needs of bust
ness require. Don't do all your bust
ness on borrowed money, for if the
banker finds it out, he won't discount
your note.-American Bankers Asso-

ABOLITION OF THE SALOON
Read the Proposed Amendment and
Learn the True Facts.

For the benefit OF thousands Of
voters who heretofore have not been
prohibitionists or total abstainers. it
Is stated that the present Michigan
dry campaign has only one aim: "Abo-
lition OF the licensed saloon as COM
mercialized institution" according to
a dry leader at Lansing.
Even In Kansas IL a man wants to
drink barrel of booze day he may
do so under the law. The same will
be true of Michigan, II the state wide
amendment is adopted.
This statement is made in reply to
questions coming from several coun-
ties Campaign workers find citizens
who wish to vote for statewide pro-
hibition, provided the amendment is
limited to the saloon as an institu-
ton. They do not favor absolute cur
tailment of the liberty of the individ-
ual.
The Webb-Kenyon law has been con-
strued by the United States Supreme
Court to regulate interstate shipments
only. This law in every case recog-
nizes the law of the state into which
liquor is to be shipped. The pro-
posed amendment to the Michigan
constitution provides as follows:
Article XVI, Section IL. The manu-
facture.' sale, keeping for sale, giving
away, bartering or furnishing of any
vinous, malt, brewed. fermented, spir-
ituous or intoxicating liquors. except
for medicinal, mechanical, chemical,
scientific or sacramento purposes
shall be after April 80, 1918. pro-
hibited in the state forever. The
Legislature shall by law provide reg
ulations for the sale of such liquors
for medicinal, mechanical. chemical
scientific and sacramental purposes"
Hence it will be seen that the liquor
forces are contradicting themselves
when In the same breath they demand
personal liberty rather than prohibit
ton and also declare that prohibition
leaks" because 1t permits individuals
to ship liquor on their own RESPONSE
bility into dry state OF county.

Dynamite Engine

A traction engine belonging to Jno.
Mckinley of Ashland was wrecked by
the explosion of quantity of dyna-
mite, which had been placed on top of
the boiler by some unknown persons
last Saturday night. At the time of
the explosion the engine was at the
farm of Hans Rasmussen, in Ash
land township. At about 1:30 a. m,
the familywere awakened blythe crash
of the exploding dynamite, their first
thought being that the boiler had ex-
ploded. An investigation proved diff
ferently however, and showed the
big engine to be almost total wreck.
Bloodhounds were placed on the trail
Monday, but up to the time of going
to press the perpetrators of the plot
have not been found.-Newaygo Reg
