FROM earning tlve cents d CAV
to selling $l9,000,000,0O0 worth Of
bonds in less than two years, is
something of a jump. 1t is a jump
that was made by Lewis B. Frank
lin, chairman of the executive
committee OF the Joint Commits
sion on the Nationwide Cam
paign of the Episcopal Church.
Twenty five years ago the rector
OF an Episcopal Church on Long
Island suggested that every child
IN the Sunday School should earn
hive. cents day for the church
during Lent. Young Franklin re-
sponded to the suggestion by saw
ing wood and doing odds and
ends. For forty days he kept it
up ard at the end of that time
had ess1ied S220 for the church.
Iw@ years ago Mr. Franklin
was called from the Investment
Bankers Association, of which in
stitution he was president. to
Washington to take charge of the
organization for the first govern
ment Liberty Loan campaign. He
expected to be in Washington five
weeks{ He stayed two years and
did the organizing work for all
four Liberty Loans and for the
Victory Loan.

Just as much as shoe buttons
Mr., Franklin says. 1T compares
with life insurance rather than
food or clothes. We voluntarily
buy food and clothes; we have to
be sold on life insurance. We
know we should carry some, but
were careless and apt to stall and
postpone action.
Well put this Nation-W Wide
Campaign over because we're Civ
ing men of the church something
worth while to do. A man whose

portant business matters, isn't go
ing to be hilarious over going to
a church in the evening to decide
how to spend the money the
women have raised, or determine
whether red or blue carpet shall
be laid in the parish house.

THE RESIGNATION OF
R. P. WH|TESElL
Resolutions Concerning the President
of the Old National Bank.

Your undersigned committee ap-
pointed at the last stockholders
meeting of the bank to incorporate
into their minutes, resolutions con-
corning the resignation of r. P.
Whitesell, state that it is impossible
to do Justice to Mr.. Whitesell's con-
nection with the bank without going
somewhat into history.
Mr.. Whitesell was one of the pro-
motors and organizers of the bank
some thirty years ago, was its first
cashier and it's second president and
later on became its seventh presi-
dent. His services to the bank have
at all times been capable and eff
cient. Much Of the time he has
served the bank, thereby mourning a
loss to his own private business.
During the panic of 1898 when
the majority of the directors failed
and made assignments at the high
tide of the panic, the total deposits
of the bank were less than $4,000.
Over 40 per cont of the banks de-
posits belonged to Mr.. Whitesell.
There were thirty days in the history
of the institution when he could
have drawn check that would have

Statement of the schools that have

There has been a slight addition
to the Earn and Give. The total

approximately 46 per cent, whereas
81 per cent or approximately $3.50
was due January Is, and that not
| withstanding that As per cent of the
hor in f,,l
cent of them have paid their 81 per
cent or better. This condition is due
to the slowness of the schools in the
towns to meet their obligation. Ken
ton Grade School leads I'll others in
payments, having paid 83 per cent of
its obligation. Kcnton High leads
all the high schools with ga per cent
paid. In Union City the lower grades
are meeting their obligations we'll.
To Westover belongs the credit of
having the first room to meet it's OBJ
legation in full and to go into the
100 per cent class. The third and
fourth grades have paid in full. The
Central High has only paid 27 per
cent of it's obligc ton. The South
Fulton has made the least crcditable
showing of all, having paid but $12

closed the doors of tho bank. But
instead of doing so he kept deposit
ing. 1t was his fidelity to the insti-
tuition, together with the imper-
turbable spirit of the then cashier,
F. o. Watts, which saved the bank
from failing.
During the recent years in which
Mr.. Whitesell has been president of
the bank, his management has been
almost perfect, not having made a
bad loan or sustained loss. The
bank has netted over 20 per cent per
annum. Mr.. Whitesell has kept in
close touch with the credit of every
man doing business with the bank;
has set an example of frugality in
his own personal affairc and in the
management of the bank which has
caused the people to have absolute
confidence in the bank. He has man
aged his own affairs ana those of the
bank with such superb business skill
and his association with the bank
has been so close that it would be
impossible to write a history of one
without the other
The Old National Bank has en-
joyed peculiar distinction of having
turned out moro efficient and dis
tinguished bankers than any bank in
the State of Tennessee, regardless of
size. Such men as F. o. Watts, Wal
ter Howell, A. F. Thomasson, and
others, have all received tutelage
from Mr.. Whitcsell.
One notable feature of Mr.. White
sells connection with the bank is
the ridiculously low compensation
he has received for his services. His
compensation being less than $50 a
month.
Be it resolved; That in the retire
ment of Mr.. Whitesell from the
presidency of the bank it has lost
one of the most capable financiers
this State has produced in this gen.
Grafton, that his services to the bank
have been at all times capable and
efficient to marked degree. He has
taken peculiar pride in the success
of the institution, giving it at all
times as much thought as his own
private interests, which are very
large. 1t is further resolved that
these resolutions be spread upon the
minutes of the bank and that the
thanks of all of the stockholders of
the bank be extended to Mr.. White
sell for his great services to the
bank, which has doubled in business
since he last became president.
