DO TRIPLES ANNOY?

What a blessed thing it is that we can forget!
To-day's troubles look large, but a week hence
they will be forgotten and buried out of sight.
Says a writer: "If you would keep a book and daily
put down the things that worry you, and see what
becomes of them, it would benefit you. You al
low a thing to annoy you, just as you allow a
fly to settle on you and plague you; and you lose
your temper and you justify yourself by being
thrown off balance by causes which you do not
trace out. But if you could see what it was that
threw you off balance before breakfast, and put
it down in a little book, and follow it out, and
ascertain what becomes of it, you would see what
a fool you were in the matter" The art of for
getting is a blessed art, but the art Of overlook
ing is quite as important. And if we should take
time to write down the origin, progress and out
come of few of our troubles, it would make us so
ashamed of the fuss we make over them, that w
should be glad to drop such things and bury them
at once in eternal forgetfulness. Life is too short
to be worn out in petty worries, frettings, hatreds
and vexations.

TALKS ON THRIFT
You and Your Bank Account


When the banker accepts your ac-
count and gives you pass book and
chcc: book, he has the right to expect
certain things from you. as you have
the right. legally and morally to ex-
Lect certain things from him.
In the first place he has the right
to expect a profit from your account.
Banking is an expensive business. 1t
costs a certain amount to handle
every check that passes through the
bank. and every account should con-
tribute a portion to the expenses of
the bank, however small. When your
banker asks you to keep "A certain
balance. he is merely asking his right
to "A profit from your account. 1t is
easily to be seen that If you keep
small balance, say ten dollars. and the
banker furnishes you with stationery.

the account (for your benefit as well
as his), the earning power of that ten

6 per cent, would be insufficient to
compensate him for the cost attend

Second Never overdraw. In ma
tional banks overdrafts are now for
bidden, but whether they were or not,
you have no right to ask 1t. 1t hurts
your credit with the banker. 1t is
a forced loan without security and is
poor business practice.
Sometimes an Cverdraft is allowed
as matter of accommodation, and
sometimes in order that the credit of
the drawer with the holder of the
check may not be impaired; but it is
bad practice. gets you in wrong all
over and should neither be asked nor
expected.
Third. Do not draw against "un-
collected funds" BY uncollected
funds is meant checks that have not
been collected. For instance. il you
have balance of 500, and derosit a
hundred dollar check and draw your
own check for $3.50, you have taken
all the original deposit and half of
the amount represented by the check

HOW INDIANS TOOK
CARE OF PAUPERS
Eishty-Fiyc Years Ago Cherokee Ma
tion Allowed Carc-Taker 81
Month.

TAIILEQUAH, Okla, April ID
The Cherokees nearly a century ago
took care of their paupers at the pub
lie expense. The case of old Big Bear,
the subject of resolution passed by
the Cherokee legislature over eighty
five years ago, is an illustration. The
man appointed to take care of the old
fellow was placed in somewhat
curious predicament in that he had to
wait until the end of the year for his
compensation, which was small, un-
less the death OF his charge resulted
before the end Of the time. Were the
county officials of today to offer one
dollar per month to any person to
take care of pauper the offer would
be rejected with contempt. Kahate-
hee could not have waXed opulent on
his salary. but perhaps a dollar went
further in those days than 1t would
now. Following Is the resolution as
is was passed ut Echota. the capital
of the old Cherokee nation, in the
state of Georgia in 1929.
Be it resolved by the committee
and council, in general council con-
vened, That Kahetehee be, and he Is
hereby appointed to take good care
of an old blind man, named Big Bear,
at his house, and supply him with
food and wash his person and clothes,
and keep him In a decent condition,
for which he shall be allowed one
dollar month as compensation, to
be paid at the end Of the year, or
sooner in case of Big Bears decease.

8. 1929.

no loyalty to the British crown. that

GBy ARTHUR +. SWEENEY

According to a dispatch In Sun
days World, dated at somewhere in
England" the British king has made
unanimous by characterizing the
shamrock as the badge (which unites
all Irshmen!
OF course the rest of us knew this
all the time but the royal approval
settles it and it is refreshing that no
longer Is 1t the English fashion TO
hang "men and women for the wear
ing of the green"
Time was when "To Hell or Con-
naught for the Irish was the royal
sentence and "no Irish need apply
had the approval of the British gov
ernment, when the London Times in
the days of famine and immigration,
gleefully remarked that in few
years 1t would be as rare to find an
Irishman on the banks of the Shan
non. as to find red Indian on the
shores Of Manhattan"
And | am afraid that the change is
not in the English imperial heart but
rather is due to the present English
need of Irish assistance.
Why the Display?
And why so much prominence to
the royal recognition of the green
when there is SO much OF more i'm
portance which never reaches the
American shores-incidents which
may result in the BIRTH of a new ma
tion? There is no mention in the dis
patches of the reawakening of the
spirit of Irish nationality; Of the de-
struction of Irish newspaper offices
by the British government.
We hear nothing of public meet
ings in Dublin, Limerick. Athlone,
Cootehill, Claremel. Cork. Thurles,
Athy and other places. to protest
against war taxes. OF resolutions to
resent their imposition, which is
chara acterized as IA violation of the act
of union-taxes which are not levied
on prosperous Canada. Australia, New
Zealand or South Africa, but are to
be wrung from poverty stricken and
unfortunate Ireland!
No dispatches of the celebration of
st. Patrick's day by the Irish volun-
tecrs in Cork, and the rejection of the
offer of the British garrison to parti-
cipate therein. Nothing of the march
ing of armed Irish volunteers through
the streets of Dublin, or Of their TAX
