SAVING MONEY.

How to make money is i'm
portant, how to save it is even
more so. One great trouble with
us is our wastefulness in our
daily lives, in our homes, in our
business occupations. We have
never learned the lesson of econ
omy. Money comes easy with
us and it flies out just as easily.
Where other people in other
countries stop to count the pen
MES, we only count the dollars,
If we as a people could only &C
quire the habit of systemical-
ly slicing off a penny here, an
other there, and keep it up in
every avenue of our existence
the American people in the
course of few years would be
literally rolling in wealth, where.
as now a majority of us labor
right up to the brink of the
grave in order to live and sup.

STATE BANKS.

There is no material differ
ence between a state bank and
a national bank except in the
one aspect, mentioned in the
last banking talk, namely that
state banks do not issue bank
notes. While the laws of some
states permit the state banks
to issue their own bills, the Ma
tional Banking Act imposes a
tax of ten per cent upon all such
issues, thereby making them
Improbable.
The National Banking Act
provides that every national

fore the bank that does not
have the word 'NationaP' in it's
title is a state bank. By that
token you may distinguish be-
tween the two.
State banks are more numer-
Gus than national banks by
nearly four to one, the reason
being that in some states small
er capital is allowed for state
institutions than for national
banks, in some places running
as low as ten thousand dollars.
State banks are under the jul
risdiction of the states, and most
of the states have a department
of government called the Bank
ing Department." as rule, and
the official in charge "Superin-
tendent of Banks, Banking Com
missioner, State Auditor" ETC.,
who examines the banks under
his jurisdiction, as a rule about
once a year, but frequently more
often, and to whom the banks
must report usually without no
tice as called for, from two to
four times a year.
State banks do precisely the
same kind of business as carried
on by national banks, namely,
receiving deposits, paying checks
|-discounting promissory notes
and making loans. State banks
Everywhere are permitted to lend
on mortgage loan, a privilege de-
MED national banks, until the
passage of the Federal Reserve
| Act. Even yet national banks
in large cities cannot make a
mortgage loan. The state laws
are not uniform by any means
and vary as the lawmakers have
deemed wise. The main differ:
ence lies in the supervision anc
not in the manner of conducting
business. In fact, if you were
) to go into national bank as al
employee and then in state
! bank you would find no differ
! ence, except in the matter o.
reports and supervision.

! fair to even distinguish the one

TELLS OF

LEWIS TELLS OF
CONDITIONS ON THE BORDER
Frank Lewis has just returned
from a ten days business trip to San
Antonio and Laredo, Texas, and has
come interesting stories to tell of the
border conditions just now. Frank
says that every hotel in San Antonio
and Laredo is cramhled full Of Mex
lean refugees and that lodgings are
difficult to secure. Rich Mexicans,
those of the aristorcacy who have had
to flee with only what they could
carry away with them, are there in
great numbers, as well as thousands
of the peon class, who are really a
charge upon whichever portion of Am
Ierican country they are thrown. He
says that upon the dirt road between
San Antonio and Laredo. pedestrians
are as thick as on Durant's streets,
hundreds of them carrying nothing
but blankets, in which they wrap up
and lay by the roadside to sleep The
Mexican government has placed an
embargo upon the transportation of
cattle, but goats and sheep may be
brought into the United States free OF
charge, and many men are making
handsome profits by going into Mex
leo, where they can buy all the goats
and sheep they can drive home for
from 65 cents to on dollar per head
in American gold. and they get $3.50
a head for them in Texas. He says
business is stagnant in the border
cities, and nothing seems to be do
ing except at the hotels. Practically
the only money in circulation is AM
erican gold. which everybody de-
mands in payment of debts.
