Banker Tells Story
of Splendid Thrift

the Meramec Trust company. "It does
not mean extravagant or wild spend.
ing. Several years ago a banker set
out to organize a bank. He had his
choice of two we'll located towns. The
first town certainly needed money for
investment, and interest rates on loans
were attractive. But the banker was
forced to consider what the borrowers
would do with his money, and whether
It would return to him. He wanted
TO know whether the money he loaned
was to be put into expansion of healthy
business in such a way as to make
E4oney.
That seemed doubtful in the first
town. The people were an easy-goins
thriftless lot, o workers and poor
savers, and hence poor customers AMI
unreliable payers. While loans there
might pay a high rate of interest, and
the principal might be safe, if all vent
well, nevertheless there was too Much
uncertainty.
The banker decided to locate in
the second town, Il thrifty and enter.
prising place where the people and
business men were not in great need
of money and where the interest rate
was lower. Here there was more
chance that both interest and prin-
cipal would be paid at maturity. The
turnover of money and the 'sleep-o.
nights more than made up for the
high interest rates and worry of the
first town.
THAT banker favored the. principles
behind the governments thrift cam
paign and the governments issue oi
Thrift Stamps and War Savings
Stamps. The more thrifty and pros.
porous the government helps to make
the people of a city the more that city's
banks will flourish"

DIVINE RIGHT Of
KINGS IDEA STILL
HOLDS HUN MINDS
UNTIL IT Is ERADicATED GER
MANY MUST BE WATCHED
CLOSELY FOR SOME TIME
CAN THEY COME BACK
Question Raised After Jack johnson
Whipped Jim Jeffries
Is Revived.

Do you recall the day Jim Jeffries.
heavyweight pugilist, fought Jack
Johnson, the giant negro, for the
worlds championship of the ring? Do
you recall the fact that following that
fight it became an axiom that They
come back?'
It seems that way. Napoleon at
tempted it and failed. Emperor Nicho-
las, the Little Father of all b Rus
sians," did not come back. Nor did
old Abdul the Damned. old Sultan
Abdul-Hamid. Me- did King Constan-
tine Of Greece, vto played the Ger
man game in the Egean.
The rule thot ileld in the prize ring
craft-and yet. Don't forget that the
royalist party in what used to be An
perial Germany is a powerful one.
Prince Henry Of Prussia long since
sounded the. call to the believers in
king and kultur.
The Hun took a whipping, but II II
hard to say that the old spirit is con-
qlered. Kaiser Bills may never hold
the same power in Hunland thai they
held a few months ago, but the "Di-
vine Rights Of Kings" has a powerful
hold on the German mind.
: So, with the making of a peace and
the taking of guarantees and the fir
ing of annon announcing the end of
the war-all is not done. The plain
truth is that Germany must be watched
a long time yet. States that nave
been rem apart have a way of putting
themselves together again. That "a
why the armies Of the allies must b.
maintained in considerable strength.
That is why the American soldiers are
not all home from France.
: The allies are believers in de-
mocracy and the old Prussianism is a
believer in autocracy. The two sys-
TENS will not mix. They will mix no
more than oil and water. Merely set
ting up a government in Germany.
that looks all right, will hardly con
vince the allies. The country must
be quieted. There nus be no dc Wit
that Germany is going back to work,
back to the ways Of peace, back 40
paying her indennities and to her
legitimate business.
Until all that is done we will be pay
ing something of the price of war.
This payment will take the shape OF
money as well as men, for the ne
must be maintained there. Wherefore
comes the Victory Liberty Loan, the
loan that is to guarantee the right
kind Of a peace.

 The German delegates to the peace congress evidently arc work ing hard to absorb in detail the de- nlanJs embraced in the lengthy peace treaty. They seem, however, to he putting forth their objections to the document article by article when demands arc encountered against which they consider they have reason to demur.
 In the meantime Marshal Foch Is reported unofficiaIIy to have made preparations to return to the front Monday.
 Further notes have been forward cd to the French foreign office by the Germans in addition to the rep resentations made last week by Count Won Brockdorff- Rantzau in seeking notifications of terms in the peace treaty that s'no nation could endure" The communica- dons deal with the subjects of pris- oners of war and labor lesisIati ton. In general the labor clauses of the treaty are satisfactory to the Ger mans, who, however, declare these do not go far enOuk and suggest a labor convention at Versailles to discuss the points raised.
 President Wilson is declared to have actively collaborated in the replies to the first communications to the Germans in one of which was set forth that the allies could ad- init of no discussion of their right to insist upon the terms of the peace treaty substantially as draft cd.

which for some unstated reason YVES politically undesirable. I can only ad- init the public to my own perplexity among the following conjectures:
 Tn the beginning, did the present opponents of the board fail to foresee the far-reaching results to be achieved and was the growing importance and power of the boards policy too power full a political engine to leave outside the administrators arsenal and in the hands of a partisan board? Does
 the administration plan for 1920 a platform of state socialism which It
 now finds inconsistent with the re- suits achieved by the board? Or after all, am I giving too much credit for an acumen that does not exist and is what the board has encountered mere ly the machnations of the old railroad guard as represented by Messrs. Lovett and Walters and imposed on a too complacent director general, or on director general too jealous of his pre- negatives to see beyond the confines of
