 Bush is the youngest of fifty seven who is known in railroad circles everywhere as the man who pulled the Missouri Pacific out of the hole. Way back in 1882 he started as a rodman on the Northern Pacific. Later he went in for coal, and emerged in 1903 as superintendent of coal properties of the Missouri Pacific.

 Bush wrestled with the rail- road as his Puritan ancestors had wrestled with the devil. The first year he spent entirely on the road. He was just forty four days in his fine Turkey carpeted presidents office. He covered 9O,OOO miles-on con- struction trains, in the cabooses of freights, in engine cabs, in hand cars, and on foot.

Think Franklin 40 Years Ahead o f
 Western Arkansas

The following is taken from the Charleston Express:
 As C. F. Spiller and T. A. Pettigrew were going to and returning fromLittleR Rock recent ly they paid special attention to the condition of the crops along the way and the methods of cul- tivating, and the comparison proved that Franklin is far ahead of any other section of country on the route. They say that the best crops they saw on the trip lie between here and Bonneville mountain, and that the one best crop was on the Jonathan Cole farm in Six Mile township.
 In this section farming with out cultivator is a thing of the past merely history. We can- not call to mind a single farm in this section that has not one or

more cultivators, and we doubt there being more than a very few such farms in twenty miles of Charleston. Between Boone. vile and Little Rock, a distance of some 120 miles, MT. Spiller kept count of the cultivators he saw, the number being 2. All the balance of farmers were using one-horse implements. MT. Spiller says, forming his opinion from his travels oyer the tate that Franklin is 40 years ahead of Western Arkansas.

"You can't straighten me out.

go back to your office and stay sober

will I have to hire a couple O huskies

Nothing. Nothing you can do any

TALKS ON THRIFT
RECONCILING YOUR
RANK ACCOIINT
BANK ACCOUNT

BANk ACCOUNI
If you keep a checking account with
bank it is important both to you and
to the bank to know that your ac-
counts agree. Errors are liable to be
made on both sides. A deposit that
should have gone to your account may
have been credited to one with sim
liar name, and likewise a check may
have been wrongly charged against
your account. Forgeries may have
been committed through your checks
and errors incidental to keeping a
large number of accounts, therefore,
to frequently adjust your balance with
that of the bank, both for the sake of
protection and for the sake of &C
curacy.
A great many banks balance the
pass book when left for this purpose,
by listing on the adding machine the
from the total of the deposits, the diff
ference representing the amount on
deposit Other banks now issue a
monthly statement in the form of a
typed sheet, containing all deposits
made and checks paid, with the bal
ance struck. This obviates the neces-
sity of balancing the pass book, which
becomes merely a memorandum of de-
posits made.
Whatever the method, you should
not delay reconciling the balance. 1t
is easily to be seen that the banks
balance will not agree with your
check book, by reason of the fact that
you have issued checks which may not
have been presented for payment. 1t
is good plan to consider every check
issued as Immediately paid, and de-
Quoted from your bank balance. If
you do this, you will never be deceiv-
ed as to the condition of your account.
Number all checks consecutively and
when returned from the bank arrange
them numerically, and check them as
to amount with the check book stubs.
After you have ascertained what
checks you have issued that have not
been paid, substract the amount from
the balance shown by the bank, which
should agree with your own balance.
