quently adjust your balance with that
OF the bank. both for the sake Of
protection and for the sake of ac-
curacy.
A great many banks balance the
passbook when left for this purpose
by listing on the adding machine the
paid checks deducting the amount
from the total OF the deposits. the
difference representing the amount on
deposit other banks now issue a
monthly statement in the form a
typed sheet. containing all deposits
made and checks paid with the bal
ance struck. This ctviates the neces-
sity OF balancing the passbook. which
becomes merely a memorandum Of
deposits made
whatever the method. you should
not delay reconciling the balance. II
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 Rave been presented for payment
~ Is a good plan To consider every
check issued as Immediately paid and
deducted from your bank balance. If
you do this you will never be deceived
as to the condition Of your account.
Number all checks consecutively
and when returned from the bank ar
range them numerically and check
them as to amount with the check
boos stubs. After ,ou have ascer-
tanned what checks YOU have issued
that have not been raid. subtract the
amount from the balance shown by
the bank, which should agree with
your own balance. II any difference
occurs. after assuring yourself that
you are right. report the matter at
once tC the lank.
1t is well TO examine the checks
returned to see -hat they are all
signed by you and that the amounts
have not been raised. the latter being
proven from the checking process
above noted If you will follow these
simple directions and see that your
account is reconcilcd at least every
sixty days, it will nclp both you and
the bank officials. for they desire fire.

A Hint to Small Investors


 The indifference of American stock holders to their own interests is astonish- ing. In other countries the stockholder of corporation attends the annual meet ings, asks questions. and learns all about his property. I have attended hundreds of stockholders meetings in and about New York and have seldom found more than half a dozen stockholders, outside of the officers, present
 The result of this indifference on the part of those who really own the cor pora tions is that control of the latter too often is left to selfish individuals whose stock ownership is small but who keep themselves in power by obtaining voting proxies
 Stockholders should know that there is no reason why they should give their voting proxy to anyone. If a company is well managed and dividends are regu- larly paid, thus entiting it's officers to confidence, the shareholders have reason to sign the proxies that the officers send them preliminary to every annual meet ing But where a corporation shows a deficit shareholders are very foolish if they send proxies to those who are re- sponsible for such a condition.
 As rule, small stockholders pay less attention to proxies than any others. They say to themselves: q have only five or ten shares, why should bother?'' And yet these are the very ones who can least bear loss by mismana cement. No matter how small ones holdings may be. if he Is stockholder, he should if possible, send his proxy to someone who will faithfully represent this interest 1t the annual meetings, for the combined in- fluenee of the small shareholders can thus make itself felt.

to farmers. There have been remarkably few days during the past six weeks when there has not been a downpour ol rain in Jackson and adjacent territory. The grass has grown rank, choking out young cotton, and corn has turned vel low from the wet weather. Many fields of cotton have been abandoned, some have been sold for song, and otherA plowed up and planted to peas and sorghum with which the farmers hope to make something in the way of stock food for next winter. And yet, these rains have been partial. There are sec tions of the state where the crops of corn and cotton are said to be the finest that ever grew out of the ground Ex' Gov. Earl Brewer, one of the largest planters in the delta, says the crops are as fine as any farmer need want to see in his part of the state. but that fur ther south, in the vicinity of Vicksburs everything is drowned out.

CHANGE OF VENUE
 WANTED BY BROOKS
Man Charged With Com plicity in Lawler Murder
 Fears Trial in Huntsville

Huntsville August 19.-(special.)-An ap- plication for a change of venue in the case of Percy F. Brooks, charged with complicity in the murder of Probate Judge W. T. Lawler, has been referred by Cir cult Judge Brickell to Attorney General Martin. Brooks maintains that the peo- pie of this county are so prejudiced that it would be impossible for him to obtain a fair trial Judge Brickell does not wish to rule on any questions growing out of the famous murder case.
 The city commissioners and other busi- ness men have begun an active campaign directed against the abolition of the city commission and the re-establishment of aldemanic government, the question that will be voted on in the special city elec- ton of next Monday. One of the points i, that has been made in favor of the com mission form of government is that when
 it was created the city was paying it's employees and all bills in pink slips, which were heavily discounted. and the fact IS cited that all bills and salaries have been paid in cash by the commissioners.
 President R. E. Spragins of the Ala bama highway commission will leave for Washington Monday morning to attend conference of highway department rep resentatives of all the states in the union which has been called for Tuesday and Wednesday by l.. w. Paige, director of public roads. It is expected that plans will be made for the distribution among the counties of each state of the money to be appropriated by the federal govern ment to the states for the building of good roads. MT. Spragins stated that Ala bama's portion of the national fund this year will be $104000, but he is unable to say yet on what basis it will be distributed among the 67 counties of the state. Jef- ferson county has applied for s50000 of the fund, agreeing to put on a like amount; Madison county having issued warrants for $50, 900 for building new roads this year has applied for s46,000 and Lauderdale county has applied for $30,00o
 The first open cotton boil found in Mad son county this year was brought in Saturday from the farm of Thomas J. Young, southwest of this city. The boil was well developed. The first bale is gen. orally due about 10 days after the first open boil is found.

DECATUR

Decatur, August 13.-(Specia1 )-John Johnson was placed in the county jail here last night on the charge of murder committed in Decatur 10 years ago.
 Johnson shot dead his father-in-law in room in the second story of the old State Bank building His wife had a room there, and Johnson had been away for sometime. Returning his father-in- law called on him at the room and a quarrel was the result between the two men. Johnson shot the old man dead in the presence of his wife and young babe.
 Johnson was given a preliminary hear ing before a justice and on the trial of the case pleaded self-defense, claiming the old man attacked him with a knife. Johnson was placed under s30O0 bond. It seems that the matter was really for gotten and nothing came of it. A short time ago the case was reopened in the circuit court, and orders were issued for Johnson's arrest. He was arrested in Huntsville and landed in the county gail here last night.
 The Birmingham Athletic club will play the Railroad Young Mems Christian as- sociation basebalT club in New Decatur on next Monday and Tuesday. It is ex- pected that big crowd of "rooters'' from Birmingham and the Decaturs will be present The Y. M. c. A. here has one of the fastest amateur clubs in the south.
 Maj Hal Long of Decatur says that he expects to have company ready for the Mexican border within the next few weeks. Some weeks ago Major Long was designated by the war department to raise a volunteer company. He now has about 50 men. It requires 72 men. The company will be fully equipped by the war department when it is raised. Major Long is one of the best drilled men in the state. For sometime he was captain of Company E, Alabama National Guard, of the Decaturs. For sometime he was a major in the Alabama Ma tional Guard He is a prominent young lawyer, and an ex-member of the Ala bama state legislature.
 During the past few days Sheriff Fore man and several of his deputies have searched number of houses in Decatur for whisky and several arrests have been made for the violation of the prohibition law. The violators of this law in this county have given the officers more trou- ble than anything else. According to the report of the grand jury, rendered a few days ago, the violators of the pro- hiDition law in the Decaturs and through out the county are numerous
 The sheriff is also making war on the lcwd women and number have been ar- rested
 The two Decaturs are now quite an active recruiting military point. In the Decaturs the United States government, has recruiting station and Major Long, who has been designated as captain iii the volunteer army to raise a com. pany. is hard at work getting volunteers. In New Decatur recruiting station fol the Alabama National Guard has been opened. Thus there is much activity here in military circles.
