MACHINE INSTALLED
AS BANK BOOKKEEPER

The Peoples Bank has just in
stalled a machine that will ac-
tually keep books. The Bur-
roughs Adding Subtracting Ma
chine is the name of this mechan
ical bookkeeper and it will be
used for making entries to the
banks ledgers and writing up
depositors' statements.
To understand best what this
machine means to busy bank
one must see it in actual opera
ton. A great number of checks
naturally come into the bank
daily and each must pass thru
the regular channels. A record
must be made of each one and
the account of each depositor
must be handled separately and
accurately.
Before the advent of the mach
inc, the detail work of entering
amounts in the ledger and MAX
ing out depositors' statements
was a tiresome and uncertain
task. All checks had to listed
separately and added up by hand
All deposits had to be listed and
added and their total combined
with the customers old balance.
When that was done the total of
all checks had to be deducted
from the sum of old balance and
deposits to determine the new
balance.
OIcdt LdUOI -OdNeI
With the new Burroughs, this
work is all done mechanically,
except the actual setting down
of the figures on the keyboard.
And the balancing of the account
from old balance on through
checks and deposits to new bal
ance is virtually handled in one
operation.
The operator first feeds the
customers old balance into the
machine. Then he sets down the
amount of each check; enters
the amount of the deposit; and,
after taking a spacing stroke,
depresses the operating bar with
the total key down and the cor
rect new balance is automatical-
ly computed and printed in the
righthand column. The machine
also automatically prints the
dates opposite each list of checks
and deposits, and without any
attention from the operator, sets
each in the column in which it
belongs.
Another thing it does is to de-
tect overdrafts instantly, wheth
er the operator notices them or
not. When the checks exceed the
the deposits and the old balance,
the machine automatically locks
and no results can be obtained
until the lever controlling the
internal mechanism is placed in
the subtract position, when
the overdraft is printed in the
proper column with an "OD"
sign in red ink.
With the use of the machine,
the Peoples banks. books are
kept more neatly, accurately and
efficiently than they could pos
sibly be kept by hand. The mach
inc method cuts out unnecessary
labor and eliminates mistakes.
Accounts Stay Balanced
In addition to posting the led
gers, the Burroughs makes out
monthly statements for depos-
itors. Each statement shows all
the checks and deposits of the
customer, together with the bal
ance he has in the bank at the
end of the month. Under this
system each customers account
| is kept balanced all the time and
a statement at the end of the
month, or at any time he wants
it, on five minutes notice. More

ARIZONA TROOP
 SHOWING COOD

The Arizona soldiers, formerly the First Arizona Infantry, and now the One Hundred ifty-Eighth United States Infantry, made the best showing among 26.O0O troops in a review held recently at San Diego of all the men at Camp kearney.
 This statement comes from E. s. Clark of Prescott, who was the official representative of the state at San Diego at recent meeting of the League of the Southwest, in a letter to Governor Campbell describing the meeting. MT. Clark sat in the review ing stand close by the side of General Cameron, commanding officer at Camp Kearney and also the reviewing officer.
 General Cameron heartily compli- mented the 15Sth regiment as it passed the reviewing stand. The regiment was given an ovation. Mir. Clark stated. The Arizona band he added. was par ticularly fine and excelled all the oth- CT in line.
 The San Diego people have a very warm feeling for Arizona folks. MT. Clark writes They expressed this in many ways, one of which was in the election of Dr. R. B. VOn KleinSmid president of the University of Arizona as president of the league.

TEACH TOY MAKING
 TO DISABLED MEN
(Montreal Starr

Toy making as a trade for MontreaIs returned soldiers is the latest departure on the part of the Khaki League, the organization which is deVoting itself to the welfare of the returned men.
 At Christmas time the Superfluity Shop will overflow with toys, made by the men. and many a Montreal kiddie will be made happy by the clever work of the soldiers.
 On the fourth floor of the league building is the big airy shop, where the potential Santa Clauses ply their trade They are all men who have been disabled in battle, men who have lost a hand, men with some fingers missing or men with one of their arms paralyZed Since their return they have had hard luck at factory work, because their disablement has meant that factory managers are willing to pay them only about half of the or dinary mechanics wages. The Khaki League has come to their help with the toymaking scheme.
 They receive mechanics wages, even while learning, and men who are not yet strong enough to spend the whole day at work are permitted to spend as many or as few hours as they care to in the shop.

it has since become. When the ora tor from Macon saw the yellow dog at the old mans feet he recalled Sen ator Vests speech, and was alive to the opportunity for an effective ap- peal to the jury.
 "Gentlemen," and he indicated the mongrel. when all other friends de sert the dog remains. If fortune drives the master forth an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privi- lege than that of accompanying to guard against danger, to fight against his enemies; and when the last scene of all comes, and when death takes the master in his embrace, and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by his grave side will be the noble dog he found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even in death,'
 So well was it delivered some of the jurymen cried. All looked toward the aged defendant sympathetically. It is said that even the dogs eyes were moist. It was pretty clear the defendants lawyer had things con- ing his way; but Nortoni had the
 wind-up. and during the noon recess hunted up a paper which had the dog speech in it. This he produced and read to the jury in the after noon, word for word as opposing counsel recited, and which the jury thought was original.
 You see, gentlemen of the jury, said Nortoni 'Seantor Vest was talk ing about another dog altogether. He never heard of this yellow curl" The jury found the defendant guilty.

ENGLISH LEADERS
 CAN'T VISIT U. $. NOW
CBoston Transcript)

The visit of a leading British statesman, either Premier Lloyd George, the Earl of Derby, minister of war, or General Shuts, to the United States has been under con- sideration for some time, but the diff faculties in the way of such journey virtually preclude it. This fact was made known in a statement from an authoritative source for the sugges- ton in the United States that a visit by one of the three men mentioned would be appreciated.
 The statement follows:
 "A proposal for a visit at this time has been under consideration here for some time. but the difficulties which lie in the way of any of these states men undertaking the visit almost preclude it. The view held in the ministerial circles here Is that the anti British propaganda in America is not so strong as persons of enemy sentiment pretend. Moreover, effec- tive steps are being taken by the United States to counteract it.
 ''The United States needs no gir- gering up for the purpose of prose cutting the war She is heart and soul with Great Britain in the de- termination to crush Prussian mili- tarism, and realizes the gigantic ma ture of the task she has set herself to accomplish.
 ''The great obstacle in the way o. the premier. the war secretary ol General Shuts visiting the United States is that none of them can bt spared from his duties here for s( long B period as the visit wouiC necessitate. For any of them to b, out of touch with events. even for { few days. at this juncture, migh have have far reaching consequences.
