THE IpLE poLLAR.

Every idle dollar in the pocket Of
the young person should become the
dollar saved for future need. Dollars
do not go as far as they once did, and
later on, you are very likely to need
more of them. The wise person takes
advantage of every opportunity to
place his idle dollars in a savings ac-
count promptly. This bank will pay
you per cent. interest on your saw
ings.-The Peoples National Bank

Peter, called mamma, papa is
coming home to lunch today and there
isn't enough bread. Please run to the
store right quick and get one ten-cent
loaf. Here is the money"
Peter obligingly ran and got to the
store very much out of breath.
Hello, sonny" the bread wagon
isn't here yet but he'll be here in Just
moment"
So Peter wandered to the back OF
| the store and out on the back steps.
There were two boys out there that he
had never seen before. He dropped
his dime on the step and the boys
watched him recover it with a great
deal of interest.
"1'll tell you Kid" said the bigger
boy, I'll bet this quarter against
your dime that 1 can hypnotic you
SO you can't get up by yourself"
All right" agreed Peter. He saw
an easy way to make quarter and he
thought the big kid would have to do
something worse to him than hypno-
tie him if he couldn't get up by him

money to hold" directed the big boy.

boy made a few passes over Peters

MANY REASONS
 FOR OPTIMISM
By HOLLAND


 New York, July 6.-Early in the spring Judge E. H. Gary spoke to a large com pany of men who are of influence. at a tune when some doubt, even a little anxiety prevailed, lest there come some business or financial or manufacturine depression. Judge Gary spoke as though ne had in mind the epigram of the late J. r. Morgan who was reported to have sald The man who is a bear on the United States will go broke"
 For several reasons Judge Gary based ms oeief that we are entering an era of prosperity the like of which no nation in the world has ever had and he also spoke with confidence of the speedy re- adjustment of business, commercial. fi- nancial and other conditions to a nor nal basis That is to say normal in reference to the new and momentous conditions which have been occasioned by the war
 Among the reasons which Judge Gary gave for his confidence in the future is the condition of the national banks of the Ohlted states. He even went so far as to quote hgures saying that the national banks held resources of approximately s16,00O, 100000 and also unprecedented de- posits. Yet at the very time when Judge Gary was thus speaking the resources or the American banks, not including the state banks, were five billions in excess or the sum which he named. He must nave gone back some months in order to inform himself with statistics respect Ing the condition of the national banks.
 By the end of May this year. while there still was remaining one month ot the fiscal year, the resources of the na- uonaf banks of the United States were approximately 1,0O0,O00,O0o It is not necessary to quote the exact figures The few statistics which will be given in this report will be in round numbers.
 The human mind cannot grasp the meaning which lies behind the expression twenty-one billions. Even the highly trained minds of the astronomers and those who are familiar with the higher mathematics are compelled to resort to symbolism dealing in terms of billions.
 A WONDERFUL INCREASE
 These $21 ,00O, 100000 of resources were greater by $SO0,O0 900 than the resources reported by the banks on the first Of January. But if we go back year and take the report of the comptroller of the currency we shall find that the resources of the national banks in the latter part of May of this year were g, 600, ,0OO GOO greater than was the case a year ago.
 Still continuing to make use of billions for record purposes the official record shows that the increase in the resources of the national banks of the United States in about six years was $10000 O0O- 600 in round numbers. One further ref erence it may be worth while to make in order to get good understanding of the

Evangelist Lectures
 on League of Nations
 in Bible Prophecy

The big canvas tabernacle at Fifty seventh street and Second avenue, south, Woodlawn, was filled to it's capacity to hear Evangelist Martin deliver his 1ec- ture on The League of Nations in Bible Prophecy" Artist G. $. vreeland enter tained the audience while gathering by painting his picture of Christ stilling the tempest, entitled, Peace Be Still. At the close of the lecture Burl Watts and Mrs. N. White sang the duet, T Want to See Jesus, Don't You" Tonight Evangelist Martin will speak on the sub ject, Prophecy Unfolding. or Germany $ Defeat Foretold by the Prophet Daniel 250O Years Ago"
 The evangelist expressed his apprecia- tion of the courtesy of the street ear men in running the cars slow while pass ing the canvas pavilion. In his lecture he said in part: "A student of Bible prophecy must be convinced that there will be established a permanent peace. :" He then went on to make a survey Of the conditions now existing in the world, quoting the statements of such leaders of public opinion as Frank A. vanderlip and outlining the editorial positions of such newspapers as the Chicago Tribune and the New York World He said: From a survey of these conditions I am convinced that the prohepcies of the Bible are being fulfilled On every hand we see evidences of the advent of the Prince of Peace when those principles which cannot be maintained as a result of the league of nations will be estab- lished by a higher power. There is today a great need of a return to the study of the fundamentals of Christianity. It is source of great satisfaction that many of the greatest leaders in church work are sounding this call"

national banks of the United States goes far toward justifying the belief of Henry F. Dayison and other bankers that the American banks can so mobilize so CO., ordinate their resources and act in such perfect cooperation that the needs Of Europe will be met without difficulty, whether those be as great as $10, 600, 900, ,0O0
 which is a sum named by Frank A. Vand- erlip or from 5000, ,00o,O00 to A,000, ,000, 600, which represents the estimate made by Henry P. Davison. For if bank resources and bank deposits have increased with such almost inconceivable rapidity as has been the case within the past six years and especially in the past two years then it is spoken of as reasonable to assume that increase will be continued.
 When one of the leading men of finance was asked this morning what it is that
 has occasioned these almost incredible increases, these stupendous resources and deposits, his reply was that it is due to the creation of credit and to the expan- sion of credit. Furthermore this credit does not reflect speculative activity Be- hind it turks no danger of collapse by which would for years impair American industry and demoralize world credit. It reflects increase in business, enlargement of manufacturing output, the approach ing harvest in comparison of which with respect to size and value the world or fers no similar record. All these credits represent actual transaction, real barter or sale of commodities and the resources of the United States, great as they are believed to have been scarcely touched by this enormous creation of new credit and expansion of old credits. This IS the meaning behind report unparalieied in our own history and comparable only with some of the reports made by Eng land in the days of her greatest pros

 Senior Adjutant Matsuki is quoted as saying that the war minister is greatly concerned about this state of affairs and as result of careful study of the sub ject by the recent conference of the com manders of the army divisions. it has been decided that proper control should be exercised over these undesirable ele- ments by the commanders of the di- visions in cooperation with the local branches of the ex-soldiers' associations.

meaning which lies behind these stu pendous figures The deposits in the national banks in May reached nearly $l6, ,00O O00,000 and it may have been the deposits to which Judge Gary referred in his optimistic address, although he was quoted as having referred to re- sources A year ago the deposits in the national banks were s1 800, GOO 900 less than were the deposits in May of this year.
