four for business purposes. This may
seem an impossible proposition. Let us
prove it.
Experience has proven that everybody
does not want all their money at the same
time. If one hundred people were each to
deposit one hundred dollars in a bank, the
banker could safely assume that not ever
one-quarter Of them would call for their
money at one time. AS matter of fact,
less than fifteen per cent would do so;
therefore, if out of every dollar deposited
the banker keeps fifteen cents in mony, he
can meet every ordinary demand for cash.
When an unusual call arises, it is called a
''bank rum" which merely means that
more than the usual number of people are
demanding their money at one time.
Working On this theory, the banker does
not, out of the hundred dollars you de-
posit, lend, let us say, ninety; but he puts
the hundred in his vault Gin his reserve)
and discounts the notes of his customers,
placing the proceeds to their credit,
if they had deposited cash. The banker
works on the law of averages, and seldom
does this law fail him, for as long as he
has a certain percentage Of his obligations
in cash, or quickly available, he is safe
(The amount of reserve money varies, in
no case being legally required to be more
than Is per cent of the deposits.)
If, therefore, the banker with one dollar
in money can lend ten in credit when you
hold back the ten, you deprive the COM
munity of the hundred 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 commun-
itv to 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 alchemistic process
known only to banking, turn it into ten
credit dollars, which are as effective in the
business world as money dollars and
cheaper. This is the banks greatest SER
vice to the community and to you.-A. B.

T A L S ON B NKING
Lending the Banks Money.

IF THE BANK confined itself to receiv-
ing money offered for deposit and pay
ing it out again on checks, it would
render very great and necessary service
to the individual and community, but it
would soon cease to exist, because the life
blood of all business (profts) would be
lacking. The. operation Of bank is ex-
pensive, and to hire clerks, pay rent, buy
stationery and build vaults, merely to pro-
tect 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 it's stockholders and
depositors to those who can use more than
they have, and are willing to pay for the
accommodation. And only as it loans it's
funds, and gets them back with interest
can it long operate as going concern.
The peculiar fact of the matter is that a
dollar in the bank will do as much work
as from four to five dollars elsewhere In
a technical sense the banker does not loan
money, but credit He does not want your
money to loan, but to use as basis of
credit, and one dollar to him is as good as

A GREAT MAN GONE.

JAMES J. HILL, the great railroad man,
is dead. He came to St. Paul about
y sixty years ago, a poor young man.
He died worth hundred million dollars
Nature had endowed him with a Won
derful mind for organizing, a mind that
grasped financial situations and saw the
possibilities Of the future better than most
minds did
He was q man who worked hard and
lived the "simple life" He devoted the
whole Of his energies to his business and
his businss yielded him returns beyond all
possible dreams.
Men may differ in their opinions regard
ing a system that makes it possible for
one man to amass such fortunes AS are
represented by the Hill estate and rhe es-
tates and holdings of other great finan-
ciers, but those who best knew James j.
Hill will all agree that he played fair, that
if there was any fault to be found it was
with the system itself and not with Mr.
Hills conduct under it.
He was everywhere recognized as one
of the greatest men of the nation and yet
he was extremely democratic in all his
ways and at heart common man.
His career furnishes one more striking,
it not the most striking, example of what
an ordinary man, endowed with extraor-
binary ability, can accomplish in this
country.
Minnesota has lost it's foremost citizen
the nation it's greatest fnancier-Gun-
mar Bjornson.

BE A BOOSTER.

Do you know there's lots of people
Settin' round in every town
Growlin' like broody chicken
Knockin' every good thing down?
Don't you be that kind O crouch,
Cause they amt no use on earth,
You just be booster rooster,
Grow and boost for all your worth.
If your town needs boostin', booster.
Don't hold back and wait to see
If some other fellows within
Sail right in, this country's free.
No ones got a mortgage on it,
It's just yours as much as his.
If your town is shy on boosters,
You get in the boostin' biz.
If things just don't seem to suit you,
And the world seems kinder wrong
What's tie matter with a boostin'
Just to help the thing along.
Cause if things should stop a-goin'
We'd be in sorry plight,
You just keep that horn a-blowin'-

If you see some fellows failin's
Just forget 'em, cause you know

They'll come back s sayin' true,
Mebbe, too, They'll come back 'buttered'
