If the United States would eonscript a

If the United States would eonscript a few black mammics from the sGuth and sGad thciH to EqgiaHdd and France to oper- ate corn bread bakeries, we would hear less about conserving wheat for Europe. The trouble with those Europeans IS that they don't know how to bake corn bread and the result is that they have never cul- tivatcd liking for it. They probably never heard of, much less, tasted ash cake in all their rost-beef and frog-eating lives. Educate them to the black mammy quality of corn bread and they will be clamoring for more corn and less wheat.

The majority of Douglas people incline to the belief that the fire of Monday morn ing was of incendiary origin and the fact that suspicion exists should cause the mat ter to be most rigidly investigated. The town can not afford the stigma which will otherwise attach its former good name. It is due everybody that the matter be inves- tigated to the fullest extent. If the con- dagration was accidental, everyone will feel better when that fact has been clearly established.

It is not likely that Senator La Toilette is at heart German sympathizer, but there is mo question but that he has greatly strained his chances of future preference by cndcavoring to paddle his peace canoe against the current of public sentiment. La Toilette simply overestimated his hold on the public and he now, doubtless, sees the mistake he made, but is too bull-headed to acknowledge it. At any rate, his political goose is cooked to a cinder and he should substitute ''y" for the last four letters of his name.

BAND OF SUPER-lNVENToRS
SCHEME NEW WAR TERRORS
Washington, April 5.-SOmewhere
on seabOard, guarded from prying
eyes, Thomas A. Edison and a little
group Of super-inventOss are work
ing ceaselessly, plotting Germany's
downfall.
Every facility and assistance which
government departments can provide
is being furnished them in unstinted
lot. Naval officers are constantly in
attendance to lend their expert ex-
perienie in making practical the
coming inventions.
Just what the brain children are,
just how far they will upset all past
methods of warfare, and just how far
the German government will come to
fear this little group of workers is
yet to be revealed.
An impenetrable curtain of secrecy
attends their present experiments.
Other than a small inner circle Of
governmental experts, their activities
are known to no one.

Mr.. President:
We are assembled here to review
the work of 1916. To co-mingle cheer
and good will and to renew our loyalty
to an institution worthy of the COM
mendation and support of all good
citizens. The money market has been
good, notwithstanding many of our
customers have borrowed money dur
ing the more stringent period and
were unable to pay their note, and
quite few seemed unable to keep up
their interest.
Although there was more work in
the community, the cry of hard times
continued. In some cases it was
merely beating tibe with the apparent
music of the hour. With others it
was truly hard. For three years they
have been borrowing, drawing heavily
on their credit otherwise, believing
and hoping times would be better. En-.

terances until when money really be-
gan to circulate, these persons had so
many debtors and so far behind until
they were unable to reach all.
Before they got well away on cut
ting down these obligations, we hear
another cry from another direction

been very vexing one with which to
deal. Our loans have not been as
great as before for two reasons, viz.

essarily many applications were not
accepted.
Ind. Owing to the great amount of
idle money in banks, large banks have
descended to the level Of small banks
to share equal competition IN the loan
market.
The Federal reserve system, the
European War, the high cost of farm
products, all have contributed to the
extra supply of money in bank CEN
tiers. Money is therefore treated as
commodity operated by the law of
supply and demand, hence bank man
ipulators are ramifying new territory
and seeking smaller quarters, to ped
die their wares.
Is it not clear that the price of
money in 1911, 1912, 1913 and the price
now must vary in proportion to the
strict competition and supply of that
commodity.
1t is also true that if our profit must
be measured by the number of dollars
loaned, under the present state of af-
fairs, previously mentioned, then we
must give more dollars, by which to
measure our profits, which is the vital
force of our existence, the mission OF
the Peoples Savings Bank and Trust
Company is to the common people
The amount of paid up capital on its
face is almost a declaration that no
large loans shall be made. Let us
ever be true to our mission.
We have lifted several burdens Of
| pressure without loss to ourselves.
