Joy in Conquest.

Life's master-key does for Its pos
SCISSOR what is impossible to those who
do not have 1t. No future Is too for
bidding for men Of the right mental
fiber to fear. Weaklings falter and
turn back. Men Of talent turned to
right channels delight in meeting what
has brought failure to the many. Il
offers to them chance to try the real
ly hard things. They alone test the
skill and prove the mettle. Such men
bring wealth out Of defeat, and re-
boice In the struggle. IT'S no won
der they step forward and try what
has brought failure to others. It's the
mental sense Of conquest that crowns
effort with success and makes man
king In the world. It's your right

CORN PRICES ADVANCE
ON WEATHER REPORTS

CHICAGO, June 2S.-Corn prices for
the September and December deliv-
cries advanced on the market this
week, Influenced by the approach of
the signing Of the peace treaty and
crop prospects. Until the agreement
to sign became certain July corn
shared in the uplift. but later fell
away on an absence OF demand for
immediate delivery. Compared with
a week ago prices this morning were
IN to 3h higher for September and
December corn, and IN to 8M lower
for July. Oats were y to Is lower.
and provisions from 80 to 81 lower.
In addition to> the influence which
overseas news had on the market.

with reports Of adverse weather,

in the week, touched the high point
for the July grain. Demand for the
nearby month did not support ad-

however. held a large proportion OF
their gains.
Oats moved in sympathy with corn.

An Appreciation of the Convention.
Albert S. Galley, cashier of the Lin
coin National Bank. submits the fol-
lowing appreciation of the District of
Columbia Bankers Association con-
vention.
Il believe that the bankers were
drawn closer together than at any pre-
vious gathering of the bankers of the
District of Columbia, more genuine
friendship and spirit of cooperation ex-
hibited than ever before and a higher
appreciation formed of the sterling quail
tiles and exceptional ability existing
among the younger bankers of our COM
munity.
while We did not have the oppor-
tunity to go fully into the discussion of
the many timely subjects and TOPICS
brought to the attention Of the con-
vention. still the foundation was laid
and we all, l think. came away with
broader views. new suggestions and ma
terial to enable US, If followed up, to in
stall and adopt certain methods that
would improve to a marked degree the
workings of our individual institutions.
THE friendly grasp of the hand. the
pat on the back of the younger bankers
by the older ones gathered there was
the greatest incentive for them to still
press on. accomplish greater things and
qualify themselves to lift the burdens
and responsibilities from the shoulders
of their worthy seniors and thereby con-
tinue the magnificent record established
by them.

fortune to be unable to attend conven-
ton of the District of Columbia Bank

all banks concerned to have bulletin
sent to the members of the clearing
house association containing the
rules of the association and noting
any changes that may have been
made at the various clearing house
meetings since the issuance of the last
bulletin. We believe this bulletin
should be issued at least twice a year
At present the last printed articles
of the Washington Clearing House
Association bear date November 3,
1911.
"At the present time there are being
cleared, items on which interest or
other additions are made to their face
thus, interest on a certificate of de-
post or a notary's demand. In most
cases the addition on these items is
usually made in lead pencil. often
very indistinctly. This creates, there
fore, wide opening for errors. and
lot Of time is very often lost by
banks in finding such differences. We
believe that it should be recommended
that every such item. If permitted to
pass through the clearing house,
should have a uniform slip attached,
showing the exact amount the send
ing bank desires paid through the
clearing house.
Clear Return Items.
"At present there is no method by
which the banks cooperate in the
matter of return items-that is, items
that have been sent through the
clearing house and returned to the
sending banks on account of insult
ficient funds. etc. The runner usually
has to go from one end of the city to
the other. and a great deal Of time Is
lost Notwithstanding the discontin-
uance of the plan in force some years
ago in respect to clearing returned
items. it is believed that this matter
should again have consideration. We
believe that a plan should be consid-
cred for the meeting at a specified
time of all banks to exchange their
returned items upon one another.
Failure to be prompt in this matter
should be covered by fines. similar to
the morning clearings. If this is not
to be considered favorably. we believe
then that fines should be imposed
against banks for missorts.
1T is our understanding, If we go
back to the beginning of the clear
ing house, that the clearing house
Is evolved from the fact that banks
desired to get away from the han
ding of large quantities Of cash, and
avoid the risk incident to the car
rying by messengers of large sums
through the public streets. At pres
ent the Washington Clearing House
Association settlement is paid in cash.

as not to arouse antagonism. but rath-

Watch Interest Payments.

Mr.. Ernst recommended the close
observance of interest payments: re-
ferred to the value of the closest
scrutiny on expense account that it
may not be made dumping ground;
urged segregation of bank incomes
that took different classificat ions
under the income tax. He called at
tention to the orders Of the l. c. c.
for railroad bookkeeping: Federal
Trade Commission classification rules
and the forms submitted by the con-
troller of the currency to show the
highest character of the bookkeeping
and accounting methods of today. He
recommended education work and
the appointment of small committees
IN the bank to do certain important
detail work.
Furthermore. he urged that balances
be made each night by each individual
teller and that attention be given occa-
sionally TO balances and accounts that
they might not be forced

were highly pleased at the results

Bankers were we'll pleased by the
assurance of George f. Allen that the
"great work performed by the bank
ers of the United states in financing
the great war had won Tor them
recognition of the people and very
much better sentiment toward the
profession than existed before the
war"
Mr.. Allen also paid high tribute to
II H Mckee, president of the Ma
tional Capital Bank. who was so Sc
verely injured in stepping off from
the outbound train at Cumberland
that he was forced to return home.
He predicted that the state bank
section of the American Bankers AS
