Notwithstanding this, they have prov

able and efficient leaders as three
months training can produce in any
people; their character is Of the fin

reason for extending the period of

A QUESTION OF MONEY.

The American Bankers Association,
recently IN session at Atlantic City,
New Jersey demonstrated It's patrio-
t1sm and that an understanding Of
the most positive and satisfactory kind
existed between Secretary of Treas
ury Mac Adoo and tho banking inter-
ests were plainly apparent. For our
part, we felt satisfied Of one thing
that the banks are on a sounder foun
dation than ever before, for this reas-
on, that all Of the power and influence
Of the national government are be-
hind them. This applies to state
banks as we'll as national ones They
are all promoting the sale Of Liberty
Bonds and in this effort will be back
ed by the combined resources Of the
country.
Money is circulating moro freely,
wages are higher and the average la
borer can find market for that la
Dor This then is the time to save.
When money Is saved for the rainy
day, the future is secure. Those peo-
pie who cannot see that tho centre Of
financial gravity has shifted from
England and France to the United
States of America are blind indeed.
The American star is in the ascen-
dancy whether the allies win or lose
for the nations in the combine will
pool their commerce and their finan-
cial interests on this side Of the At
lantic rather than on the other side.
Further more, the southern states
have succeeded in having the money
stream flow in large volumns through
their rivers and their valleys and
when the result of this is seen in
the improvements, the wisdom Of the
colored folks who invested in south
ern farm lands and city lots will be
apparent. Save your money colbred
folks and buy property. Make friends
with those white folks, who will let
you make friends with them and
treat the other kind with distant
courtesy realizing that God will
bring all things right in his own
time.
