GREATEST OF ALL SPORTS
Real Thrills In the Pursuit Of the Afri-
can EIephant-Beast Not Afraid
of Anything.

''FOr many reasons the chase OF the
elephant stands at the apex of sport.
AS a man-killer In open combat he
ranks with the lion and the African
buffalo He is the only beast that fears
no other. While he will almost in
variably run from the scent Of man,
he is as invariably ready to attack on
the slightest provocation. Fear does
not exist for him. His overwhelming
bulk, power, speed and intelligence
make him supreme beyond the range
Of rivalry.
"As though this were not enough to
establish his pre-eminence, he alone
carries a trophy which is one of the
staple products Of the industrial world
The value of ivory rises; it never fiuc-
tuates. Nor is this all. In the mind
Of the East the elephant Is intimately
associated with dignity pomp, pageant
ry and kingship; but in the mind of
the native African he is king-a king
in his own right.
"In this regard, let 1t be affirmed that
no elephant born in Africa has ever
docilely paced hippodrome stage,
trundled a circus wagon, or taken chill
dren for a ride in the park. Those
sleep-walking cattle known TO the
American public as elephants come
from India, and are mere bastard
cousins TO the king. You may have
seen the African elephant in captivity,
but never In subsection. Chain him
to the floor behind iron bars, and after
ten years he is still quick to throw
muck In the face of the man that jeers
at him. George Agnew Chamberlain

After getting a few more details
Crow rushed back to the Office and
wrote funny story about the arrest
Of the bird. He was congratulating
himself on landing story on the first
page, an hour or so after the paper
got on the streets, when the telephone
bell rang and he had TO listen TO q tor

the other end of the line. 1t devel-
oped that she was Mrs. Parrot, and
she had been arrested for using abu-
sive language, but she bitterly re-
sented being written up as a bird.
After she had exhausted her vocabu-
larry and was preparing for a new
start, she asked:
What is your name?"
"Crow," said the reporter.
"What did you say?"
Il said my name was Crow"
"You think you are blamed smart,
don't you?" said the freshly insulted
Mrs. Parrot as she hung up the re-
ceiver.

the candidates in the primary will run
only in the county entitled to name
the candidate and the natices and
statements of money spent shall be
filed as in the case of county offices.
8. If there be a failure to agree
to what county is entitled to name the
candidate. then candidates will have

at the same time. If one hundred
people were each to deposit one hun
dIed dollars in a bank, the banker
could safely assume that not over one
quarter Of them would call for their
money at II time. AS a matter OF
fact less than fifteen per cent, would
do so; therefore, if out of every dollar
deposited, the banker keeps fifteen
cents in money, he can meet every or
binary demand for cash. When an
Unusual call arises, it is called a bank
run" which merely means that more
than the usual number of people are
demanding their money at one time.
Working Out Theory.
Working on this theory, the banker
does not, out of the hundred dollars
you deposit, lend, let us say ninety; he
puts the hundred in his vault Tin his
r%eserve) and discounts the notes of his
customers, placing the proceeds to
their credit, against which they can
check, the same as if they had deposit
ed cash. The banker works on the
law of averages, and seldom does this
fail him, for as long as he ha sa GER

Results of System.
If, therefore, the banker with one
dollar in money can lend ten in credit
when you hold back the ten, you de-
prive the community of the one hun
derd in credit. The banker is a credit
alchemist, making one dollar do the
work of many, and you owe it to him,
to yourself and to your community 10
make the credit structure as big and
as strong as possible.
The place for every dollar that you
do not need for your daily necessities
is in the bank, for the bank will not
only protect it against fire and thieves,
pay it back on demand, but by the
aichemistic process known only to
banking, turn it into ten credit dol
lars, which areas effective in the bus
mess world as money dollars and
cheaper. This is the banks greatest
service to the community and to you.

PLACE MONEY
IN The BANKS
PROPER PLACE FOR SAVINGS IS
IN THE BANK AND NOT UNDER
BRICKS AND FIREPLACES.
IT EARNS YOU INTEREST
Interesting and Accurate Review of
Banks Function in Aiding Bust
ness Through Deposits.

Unless you dig down deep into sta
tistics and consume a lot of time in
financial conditions you can gather no
ideas as to the Importance of saving
money, and placing those savings in a
bank. Saving money and burying it in
a tin can, or under the bricks of the
fire place is helping to make it harder
for you to get more money. If every
onc who saved money, individuals and
business concerns alike were to adopt
the same methods, the wheels of indus
try would stop in a few weeks OF per
| hars in a few days. By putting money,
in a bank, you are adding the business
interests of the whole country. You
! enable the bank to do it's part by lend
ing money to further business develop
ment.
Functions of a Bank.
L the bank confined itself to receiV-
ing money offered for deposit and pay
ing it out again on checks, it would
render a very great and necessary SER
vice to the individual and the COM
munity. but it would soon cease to
exist because the life blood of all bus
mess (profts) would be lacking. The
operation of a bank in expensive, and
to hire clerks, pay rent, buy stationery
and build vaults, merely to protect
money and handle checking accounts,
without some source of income, would
prove a costly undertaking.
Therefore the bank must seek some
steady source of revenue, and finds it
in lending the money of its stockhold-
ers and ~depositors to those who can
use more than they have, and are
willing to pay for the accommodation.
And only as it loans its funds, and gets
them back with interest can it long
operate as a going concern.
Where Value Increases.
The peculiar fact of the matter is
that a dollar in the bank will do as
much work as from four or five dollars
elsewhere. In a technical Gense the
banker does not loan money, but credit.
H. does not want your money to loan,
but to use as a basis of credit, and one
dollar to him is as good as four for
business purposes. This may seem an
impossible proposition. Let US prove
it..
Experience has proven that every
body does not want all their money
