AS a Baptist are you glad or

As Presbyterian are you glad

THE BANKER AND THE BIBLE

Banks and Bibles are not unusually
associated together, but Lakeland is
to have the privilege of having Wis
itor who has made asuccessful combi-
nation of the two.
Mr.. G. E. Putnam was for thirty
years successful business man In
the great Northwest country; the
President of two banks, manager OF
a reat lumber business, manager OF
a large hardware business manager
of a department of the International
Harvester Company's immense bust
ness, manager of a successful jewelry
business. and all the time running
four ranches.
Yet he found time to study the BIZ
BILE; not merely 10 read it, but to
study it so carefully, so profoundly,
that he is recognized today as one of
the greatest Bible teachers in the
world.
Recognizing the awful need for a
better knowledge of the Bible and its
great fundamental teachings by the
masses of the people, Mr.. Putnam

closed out his immense holdings,
gave a large part of the proceeds to
the Moody Bible Institute, of Chica-
60, and then gave his services without
charge to that splendid institution, to
hold Bible Conferences throughout
the country.
The first Presbyterian Church of
Lakeland has been so fortunate as
to secure him for two weeks meet
ing, beginnin next Wednesday eve-
ming. Mr.. Putnam will speak on the
great fundamental teachings of the
Bible twice each day. at $3.50 nj the
afternoon and 1880 in the evening,
and the church invites everybody to
get the benefit of this great privi-
lege. Mr.. Putnam will not accept
anything for his services, and the 9TH
err expenses of the Conference will be
met by voluntary free will offerings,
taken at the evening meetings.

0wensboro, an important city Of
Kentucky, ideally located on the
Ohio river, has adopted a savings
plan for the pupils in the public
schools that is not only accumu-
iating funds that will be Of untold
value in later years, but Is teaching
the pupils lessons in thrift and saw
ing that viii rebound to the benefit
of Kentucky for many years to
come.
Like many plans il is the outcome
of experiment. Something more
than a year ago an arrangement was
entered into whereby the pupils of
that enterprising town opened saw
ings accounts in one of the Ovens
boro savings banks. An account
can be opened for as small an ac-
count as one cent, but there were
mighty few this small.
A certain school day was set aside
for deposit day." and messenger
from the schools took the deposit
slips and the money to the bank.
These small accounts have grown,
until they now aggregate thousands
Of dollars.
The city superintendent of schools
has now evolved another plan
whereby these sums will be turned
into Treasury Savings Certificates
when the individual accounts reach
500, in in Government Savings
Stamps when the amount on deposit
will pay for Saving Stamp.
The Stamps and the Certificates
are in reality Government 'Baby"
Bonds. They pay interest at the
rate of a per cent compounded quar-
terly, which makes them about A IA
per cent. They are free from ordi-
nary taxation, and competent finan-
ciai authorities say the 'Baby"
bonds are the ideal investment for
the people of small means.

The bureau of markets maintains
a special division with regard to the
marketing Of dairy products. Based
upon the actual experiences Of thou
sands of dairy farmers throughout
the United States, careful studies Of
every phase Of dairy products mar
keting are made by this division and
the results used to help farmers to
solve their marketing problems.
No matter how hopeless OF solu-

ence Of thousands, of other farmers
a solution can be found.
The outstanding features in the
egg production and marketing meth
DDS recommended by the bureau are
the production Of eggs free from
dirt, clean nests and daily gather
ings. The eggs should be kept in a
cool, dry place and protected from
heat and moisture when taken to the
market. They should be candled by
the country buyer or dealer, and
purchased on '1oss-off" basis. In
Grating, new cases and No. l filters
and flats should be used to prevent
