TALKS ON BANKING.
THE ORIGIN OF SAVINGS
BANKS,

When it is considered that in some
states such as Massachusetts, one out
of every two and half people have
savings bank accounts. and in New
York with its great population, one
out of three, the intimacy with which
the savings bank touches the individ-
ual will become manifest. In TACT
no other institution except the home,
the church, or the school comes into
such close contact with humanity as
does the savings bank And because
it touches the lives of so many peO-
pie so vitality, the whole body polite
is interested in the savings bank and
what it does.
Financially speaking no other insti-
tuition has such a marked effect for
good to the individual and the COM
munity, as does the bank that takes

This is sound sensible plan
strictly in accord with the ideas of
democracy upon which this republic
was founded.
That such a plan is a possibility in
Pine Bluff is gratifying. The Lake

plans to make the adoption of uniform

ally the high school, its main pur-
pose, and will soon seek the co-opera-

and parent teachers organizations of

1t should not be difficult of accom-

adoption of the plan. The school au-
thorities would doubtless gladly sane

Start With the New Year.

Enterprise is required in order tt
make town grow and prosper. A
united effort upon the part OF oul
citizens and the judicious expenditure
of money would make Columbia grow,
and in few years it would be town
Of dimentions, and every body who
make their homes here would be busy
from the rising of the sun to the set
ting thereof. The towns in Kentucky
to-day that are prosperous are the
ones that have donated literally to
enterprises which employ labor. Thus
it is and always will be, that where
liberality is manifested towns thrive,
but where the close listed disposition
is manifested, communities struggle
for existence. Men who have money
must invest it in order to protect their
own interest. A few small factories
in Columbia would furnish work for a
great many men, the town reaping the
benefit of the employees earnings.
Visit town where there is employ
ment for a number of mechanics and
also the day laborer, and see the stores,
especially on Saturday nights-crowd-
ed with customers from dark until a
late hour, the merchants receiving
hundreds of dollars nightly.
In Older to see the advantage town
reaps by having small factories, visit
Campbellsville and Lebanon.
We would be glad to see Columbia
start move for the betterment, be-
ginning early in the year 1917.
