GEMS OF THOT
From Our Excha nges

If it is true, some predict, that the
present war in Europe will not end until
1918, then this country will be surely called
upon to support those that are left after
peace has been declared.
''Tbere is no defeat except from within.
There is really no insurrn ountable barrier
save your own inherent weakness of pur-
pose. ''-Ralr 4 Waldo Emerson.
The best thing for all of us to do is to
do the righ, thing at all times without be-
ing told to do SO. If we can do that, we
are 0. X.
Solomon may have been a ''wise old
guy in his time, but | bet there are
good many young men in this country of
ours, who could have given him many
pointers.
1T is difficult to make man miserable
when he feels he is worthy of himself
Lincoln.
You have to do your own assimilation all
through life.
You may be taught by a teacher, but
you have to imblbe the knowledge he can
not transfuSe it into your brain.
You alone can control your mind cells
and your brain cells.
You may have spread before you the wis
dom of the ages, but unless you assmilate
it you derive no benefit from it; no one can
force it into your Cranium
You alone can move your own legs.
You alone can use your own arms.
You alone can utilize your own hands.
You alone can control your own muscles.
You must stand on your own feet, phys
icaly and metaphoricaIly
You must take your own steps,
Your parents cannot enter into your skin,
take control of your mental and physical
machinery, and make something of you.
You cannot fight your sons battles: that
he must do for himself.
You have to be captain of your own des-
tiny.
You have to see through your own eyes.
You have to use your own ears
You have to master your own faculties
You have to solve your own problems.
You have to form your own ideals
You have to create your own ideas
You must choose your own speech
You must govern your own tongue
Your real life is your thoughts.
Your thoughts are of your own making.
Your character is your own handiwork.
You alone can select the materials tina,
go into it.
You alone can reject what is not fit to 90
into it.
You have to make your own record.

EXCHANGE POEMS
From, Here -And There
The Newspaper.

AS each new morn holds up thy mirror face,
What glimpses Of the human lot we see:
Sometimes the blood marked path of War
we trace;
Or steps to fame of Peace where Amity
Stands looking skyward for milder morn;
Sometimes we see fields scorched by
Famine's breath;
Or Plenty in earth's lay doth pour her horn;
Or storm or pale disease takes toll for
Death.
Sometimes we see Crime thread the dim
lit street;
Or Charity, well-laden, seeking Want;
Or Progress hand in hand with Hope we
greet
On quests that no encouragement can
daunt.
May God forbid that breath of Mammon
should
Fer dim thy face-thou friend of solitude
Alexander Louis Fraser.

The WharveS of Slumbel

Upon the wharves of Slumber
watched the Ships of Dreams
Come sailing in through mist and moon,
With glowworm lights and CLEANS
Their holds were stuffed with plumber
Of every land and time;
With Ophir gold and gods of Greece,
And scraps of ancient rime.
Pastils of Creton henbane,
And bales of Yemen silk,
With cas>ia buds and sandalwood
And Oman pearls like milk.
And slaves, both men and women,
Most fair to look upon,
Whose chanting made the breeze to
That swept the Dreamships on.

Of every cargo there
The spice and gold, the slaves and
gems,
The myrrh and pearls and vair.
But while stood debating
A voice cried, $50! the good ship
DAWN
Draws in across the dews!''
And all the Dreamships vanished,
And left me wide awake
To think of all the many things
1t had been mine to take.

A Mother Heart

n WOnd1OuS tnlnS Is a mOtner neart
A temple of beauty rare;
Built of love, from realms above,
With a cornerstone of prayer;
And could you unfold its walls of gold,
It's filled with tenderest care.
What blessing it is, shrine like this,
In world where care is rife;
When the heart oppressed may here find rest.
Away from troubled strife;
And here renewed, by hope imbued,
May start again in life.
A mothers love is golden link
That bridges the thinning air;
To that home on high, beyond the sky,
Where all is bright and fair,
For that which gives birth to the JOY of earth,
Unlocks the temples there.-G. L. Nc
Dermott.
Go Ye into All The World"
Give-as the morning that flows out of
heaven,
Give-as the waves when their channel is
riven,
Give as the free air and sunshine are
given;
Lavishly. joyfully, utterly given.
Not the waste drops from thy cup over
flowing,
Not faint spark from thy hearth ever
glowing,
Not pale bud from thy June roses blow
ing.
Give as God gave thee, Who gave thee
to live.
Pour out thy life as the spring shower
pouring;
What il no birds through the pearl rain is
soaring,
What if no blossom looks upward adoring.
Look to the life that was lavished for
thee!
Give as the heart gives, whose letters are
breaking,
Life, love and hope, all thy dreams and
thy waking.
Soon at life's river Thy soul-fever shaking,
Thou shalt know God and the gifts
that He gave!-Ex.

The deposits in national banks on
Sept. 2, 1915, amounted to $23, 295, 900
and on Sept. IL, 1916, So, 354, 900.
Loans and investments of national
banks in Idaho on Sept. IL, 1916, $780,
f4s,000, showing an increase of per
cent.
After giving figures on DEPOSITS,
loans and investments of national banks
in the district the report says:
Estate banks show similar gains. AL
though easy credit conditions have rem
dered unnecessary any extensive re-
discounting, the Federal Reserve bank
has nevertheless rendered important aid
during the harvest season in certain
sections having inadequate banking
facilities. Many banks manifest appre-
ciaton of the potential resource, and the
resulting additional stability, but it is
natural that there should be certain
percentage of malcontents. The par col
lection OF checks, entered upon in July,
by federal reserve banks under the re-
quirements OIL the federal reserve act,
disturbed previously existing methods.
This would naturally arouse objection
on the part of some whether it made
for better or a worse condition. Many
member banks have cordially co-operat-
ed, however, believing that this plan
makes for efficient service to COM
merce upon which the prosperity of
banks should properly be founded. A
gratifying spirit of cooperation has also
been shown by non member banks, 1860
of which out of a total of 1879 in this
district are now renting without de-
duction for exchange for checks drawn
on themselves.
1.-THE investments of this bank have
been largely in bankers acceptances, at
rates approximately 21a per cent. Be-
fore the federal reserve act, this class
of business was monopolized by Euro
pean banks, but eastern banks are now
accepting extensively and a few enter
prising banks on the Pacific coast are
entering upon this business, which
naturally is engaged in only by strong
banks in financial centers. Consider
able investments have also been in mu
nicipal warrants at rates approXimating
2A per cent. The laws of eastern
states authorize the issuance of such
warrants in anticipation of tax pay
ments. Presumably the states of this
district will in time amend their laws
so that the municipalities may avail of
such low rates for their temporary Dor
rowing.
"The earnings from investments,
chiefly other than rediscounts, have
been such that this bank, on October l,
paid a dividend, at the rate of 5 per
cent per annum from the date of organi-
cation, Nov. Is, 1914, to Jan. /, 1915,
after charging out all organization ex
penses and the cost of all furniture and
equipment.
