customers of the American bank
were advised that no transactions
could be handled which had passed
through the enemy bank. The Ger
mans naturally resented this move
on the part Of what they considered
a dangerous competitor and prompt
ly took steps to overthrow this stand
on the part Of the American bank.
They took a test case to the courts,
a case which hinged on the refusal
Of the American bank to take
check which one of its customers
had drawn and which had been de-
posted with the German bank. On
the check form itself was marked
with a rubber stamp ''Not payable if
indorsed by any enemy of the United

THE LINDEN PLAN

(From the Blaine JOurnal)
The Lynden bank announces that
instead of laying out $40O for caien-
dars for distribution at this time, it
will donate that amount to be expend-
ed by committee of the Parent
Teachers Association in bOyo' and
girls club work. The bank, in mas-
ing this announcement, expressed a
wish to see some places provided
where the boys could be free to 60
at all times and enjoy themselves in
the right way. The Lynden business
firms also announce that in the flu
ture they will club together and issue
a community calendar, which all will
distribute, thus doing away with a
big waste of money Here are two
suggestions that any town could take
up with profit.

that the proposed law to raise the
amount of money the State pays for

$40 paid by .he local district. would

a mistake. A change would be made

Tree Screen Routed billboard.

The planting of tree screen is a
way of suppressing billboards that has
been tried with success on one boule-
ward in Boston. Directly across the
way from dignified hotel that spe-
cializes largely in long-term guests, a
huge boarding was erected some ten
years ago. 1t was built to last 25 years,
with oak posts and sheet-iron panel
ing. The hotel proprietor obtained
permission from the city to set out in
front of the billboard lot row of
good-sized young pOplars. Now the
proprietor of the billboard has re-
moved his ugly structure to another
place, where it will be seen and, in his
opinion, do him some good. What a
public benefactor is the gentleman who
made eight graceful trees to flourish
where once blatant billboard made
desolate the view !-Christian Science

FINDS HER IDEAL AT 10
Worth Waiting for, and She
Marries Him.

Baltimore.-Miss Ida E. S. Young,
70 years old, finally has met her ideal
and became his wife. Her first love,
George Bell, mysteriously disappeared
four months ago, just after she bought
the marriage license.
Few women ever find etheir ideal
mates" said the 70-year-old bride, "but
they certainly are worth waiting for,
even If the period extends over seventy
years." Her objections to Mr.. Bell,
her first choice, were founded on his
utter disregard for the golden rule. HE
never considered me-" she complained !;
"but that's just like a man." "Mr.
Russell, here" and she pointed proudly
to her white-haired husband, "is my
ideal of man. He Is fair and honest,
and you can depend on him every time,
and that's what counts"
Mr.. Russell is equally pleased with
his wife, and remarked that he thor
oughly appreciated the fact that she
can cook. He was busily absorbed in
his wedding breakfast of coffee and
rolls. prepared by the brides own
handss Il like woman who's not too

PAINT is GOOD INVESTMENT
Apart from Appearances, II Actually
Adds to the Value of the House
and Barn.

A prominent banker makes the
statement that hesis Influenced in lend-
ing money to people by the appearance
OF their property. If their houses,
barns and other buildings are painted
as often as necessary in order to give
them spick-and-span appearance, he
feels that they are better risk than
those who do not paint their buildings
and let them go TO rack and ruin
through neglect.
1t is condition in almost all mort
cages on buildings that the buildings
shall be insured, for the protection of
the lender against fire. Some lenders
make the stipulation also that the
buildings shall be kept painted at reg
ular intervals. This is wise precau-
ton, as a building can deteriorate from
lack of paint so as to lose large part
of its value in few years. In way,
paint is also fire protection, since 1t
is the slow combustion Of the oxygen
and other elements in the air that
causes the decay of building material.
Besides, if for any reason it issde-
sired to sell property, the prospective
purchaser can easily be induced to pay
higher price for well-painted house
than Tor shabby one. A good buyer
looking over shabby property is quick
to assume that the owner is bankrupt
or badly in need of money if his prop
erty has rundown appearance and
makes his offer accordingly. If it is
neatly painted, however, he assumes
that the owner is prosperous and hest
tates to make an under-value bid. In
short, in case of sale, coat of paint
will bring price enough higher than
could be obtained for an unpainted
building to more than cover the cost
of painting.
Therefore, any way we look at it,
paint is good investment for prop
erty owner.

PLANT NUT-BEARING TREES
How Half-6arren Acres and Road
sides Can Be Turned Into
Source of Revenue.

There is county in England
where all the roadsides have been
planted to damson plums, which have
not only made the landscape more
beautiful, but furnished many tons of
plums that were picked half ripe for
the manufacture of dyes that became
scarce owing to the war.
If such movement as this had been
taken in this country in the planting
of nut trees in former years, our road
sides would be more beautiful, the
country more hcalthful, the farmer
more independent, having these crops
that require little labor and that could
be marketed at leisure. Our soldiers
might have had sealed cartons of nut
meats included in their rations on the
EuropeaA battle fronts that would
have beeh very acceptable us food and
nave added little weight to their packs.
Unfortunately the tree has not been
much used as yet for crops yielding
staple food in places where men till
the soil. They begin with crops which
return annual results in exchange for
labor. Now that the crops from an
nual plants are becoming smaller
every year in proportion to the in
creased number Of inhabitants, men
will set great trees at work upon mil
lions of half barren acres. These trees
will return larger iiCft for less la
Dor than would be required for annual
plant crops. People nave not found it
out as yet.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

delphia.-Another regulation is
added to the morality code Of Ma

against the law for male visitors to
hug the borough marshal while the
latter is ON duty.
In consequence of this ruling by
Recorder Jacob Bentz, Philadel-
phian, who gave his name as Michael
Mccall, but who refused to say where
he got the stuff that made him act
that way, was fined $3.50.
Thomas McCrossen, another Phlla-
delphian, who tried to interfere with
the arrest Of Mccall. said he YVES
sorry and promised never to do it
again. AS he didn't do any hugging he
was discharged.
The marshal is Henry Weldon. He
was standing near the trolley terminal
when Mccall lurched up and tried to
hug him. Weldon scoyly sidestepped,
and then Mccall became exasperated,
and took swing at the marshals jaw,
whereas he was arrested. In the en-
suing scuffie the marshai's shirt was
torn.
