Gus J. Karger is an exceptionally
able Washington correspondent who
represents a Cincinnati newspaper
on a summer day when things were
bit dull, Gus bethought himself
that il would interest his readers to
know something about the method
of bank clearing under the new sys-
tenn Of federal reserve banks. He
strOlled over to the treasury de-
partment and held a long CONVERSE
ton with the official who knew
most about the new banking system
As the official explained it, the whole
proposition seemed absurdly simple
but. to make sure of no misunder-
standing, Gus took a great many
notes. A little later, back at his
desk, he inserted a sheet Of paper in
his typewriter, spread his notes con-
veniently at one side. and with a
merry cOcksure, rOmping motion
over the keys. dashed off an open
ing sentence as follows:
THE method of bank clearing un-
der the new federal reserve act,
while seemingly very complicated
and difficult TO understand, is in
reality absurdly simple"
Then he slowed up to glance at
his notes. He picked up the notes
and read them intently, after which
he frowned severely and scratched his
head. For a long time ne sat there
either frowning, or scratching his
head, or both. Then he jerked the
sheet OF paper from the typewriter
crumpled it up. threw it into the
waste basket. and decided to write
on some other topic.

A Personal Application

A well-known business man in Law
renee, Massachusetts, once had a GUS
toner who contracted a debt that ran
along unpaid for a year or more, and
even several letters failed to bring about
a settlement.
One day, while glancing over relig-
ious notices in a local paper, the bust
ness man saw something that gave
him a new idea. He went to his desk
and wrote the following note to his
debtor:
"My Dear Sir: L see in the local
press that you are to deliver an adj
dress on Friday evening before the Y.
M. G. A. on THE Sinners Balanced

anced, and trust that 1 may have the

Small Money i'm Demand

Because of business conditions, de-
scribed as abnormal, there is now a de-
mand for small bills and coins which
the government is unable to supply
and as a result big institutions through
out the country have had their allot-
ments cut down. In great measure the
shortage is due to the increased pay
rolls, in which fractional amounts fig
ure largely and this small money goes
into more hands than it did before.

Out ON Old Hereford Inlet

Twas the first of the season in sthe' boat,
Hereford Inlet was calm a a moat,
Sun shining brightly and there was a cooling breeze,
AS Miss Elizabeth piloted the skif DER the seas
The fine new engine AN without a jar or jolt,
Which made the Cruiser butt the waves like a Billy Goat;
Grabbing grounds were sighted, anchor dropped with a splash,
Lines baited and ready, to which crabs made a dash.
Then a fishing scheme was suggested,
Grab lines were soon neglected,
A King fish was easily pulled in
By a gentlemen whose name was Quinn.
The Captain was next to catch a founder
Then a lady landed one for a wonder
Plenty more crabs and fish and seven old I" skates"
Heave up the anchor is the order of the mate.
Off to shore the boat starts in a hurry,
AS for safety there is no use to worry,
When the little ship guided SO true,
Gides quietly over the waters blue.
To tie up to the wharf there was no c%ommoton,
The crew really deserving a promotion,
All home, happy and hungry as a bear,
Voting the picnic the best of the year.
