cry Maysvllle Citizen.

How to act in an emergency is
knowledge of inestimable worth, and
this Is particularly true OF the diseases
and ills of the human body. If you
suffer with kidney backache, urinary
disorders, or any form of kidney trou-
BILE, the advice contained in the fol-
lowing statement should add a valu-
able asset to your store of knowledge.
What could be more convincing proof
of the efficiency of Doan's Kidney Pills
than the statement of a Maysville citi-
zen who used them and who publicly
tells of the benefit derived?
Ben p. Fleming. constable of Ma
son Co., PIT e. Lee St., Maysville,
says: 81 have used Doan's Kidney
Pills off and on for several years, get
ting them at Wood & Sons Drug Store,
and they have been of great benefit. At
times my kidneys have been out of
order and / have suffered from a dull,
constant ache through the small of my
back. The kidney secretions have
been irregular In passage, too. A box
or so of Doan's Kidney Pills has never
failed to relieve me OF the complaint
in a short time"

TEAMS AND INCOMES.

Not long ago, Art Hoskins, one OF
Old Man Tait's hands" drove q big
gray team hitched to new Balm wag-
on I'D to the freight platform at st.
Anthony, Idaho. Each of the horses
weigher 400 pounds if he weighed an
ounce and showed the evidence of blue
blooded draught stock in every line
and move. They caught the eye OF
every farmer and rancher loafing
around the depot until the AIS came
in.
"a right good looking team" came
the comment from a group on the bag
gage truck.
you bet they're good team" re-
sponded Art proudly. There amt
team along Snake River from end to
end can beat EN-"

Art replied. "I'll show you can they
pull" He jerked the king bolt loose
freed the double tree and taking a
short chain he used as a rough lock
from under the seat, he backed the
team up to the railroad track and
chained the double tree to a rail. Then
he cluked to the gray Percherons.
Right there Art Hoskins ruined the
best draught team in the Snake River
valley. The grays dug their toe calks
in and pulled until every tendon creak-
ed and their eyes started in their
heads. They tried the best that was in
them but thy could not move the rail
road track and they knew it. Every
flick of the whip, every yell of COM
mand from the bone headed hired man
but added to the insult put upon them
They tried their best tht once but they
never would try again. Old Man TAFT
fired Hoskins when he heard of it but
he ought to have hit him with a neck
yoke.
Any real farmer knows better than
to treat his stock that way, yet hun
dreds of them do Just what Hoskins
did to their incomes. They chain their
incomes to the railroad track of ex-
travagance and unsafe and injudicious
investment and then wonder why they
get nowhere. When you haress your
income to Liberty Bonds, War Savings
Stamps and Treasury Savings Certifi-
Gates, you hook your team in front of
a vehicle which will carry your loan
instead of one which will anchor your
team.

~IN THE DAYS NEWS.

When the Democratic national con-
vention meets at San Francisco one
week from today among the names to
be presented for the presidential nom
nation will be that of Senator Carter
Glass of Virginia. The nomination of
Mr. Glass would be interesting aside
from other considerations, in that it
would assure the election of news
paper publisher to the presidency for
the first time in the history of the ma
ton. Senator Harding, the Republican
nominee, is newspaper publisher, as
is also Mr.. Glass, who publishes two
newspapers in his home city of Lynch
burg. Mr.. Glass began his public ac-
reer as a member of the Virginia Sen
ate. In 1901 he was elected to Con-
gress from the Sixth Virginia district.
During his career of eight terms in the
House he established his reputation as
being one of the best informed men on
currency and banking in that body.
Largely because of this reputation he
was chosen by the President to sue
coed Mr.. McAdoo as Secretary of the
Treasury in December, 1918. Mr.. Glass
remained at the head of the Treasury
Department until he was elected to the
Senate Last Year.

MAKING GOOD SUCCESS IN
THRIFT BOND PAYMENTS SALE
How Waterbury, Conn, Trust Company
Used the Liberty Issues Plan In En-
couraging Systematic Savers.
From the Chicago Banker.

From the Chicago Banker.
Within two weeks after inaueu-
rating . thrift bond club on Janu-
airy I, 1920. the Merchants Trust Com
pany Of Waterbury. Conn. secured
1000 new savings accounts. Under
ordinary conditions this would mean
considerable added clerical work. but
the method to be described of
pie that the work has been handled
without additional clerk hire and
without confusion.
The amount on deposit to the credit
Of the thrift bond owners on July /,
was approximately $4,000. and the
payments was small@ess than 10
This Thrift bond idea is valuable
because 1t answers effectively the Oft
repeated question in nearly every
bank: How can liberty bond investors
be induced to continue the practice Of
depositing regularly in a savings
account?
Appeals to System Saver.
The Merchants Trust of Waterbury
finds that the plan appeals parucu-
larly to Systematic savers and to the
thousands Of purchasers Of liberty
bonds who completed their payments
ON the installment basis. The fact
that these purchasers have become
accustomed to going to the banks in
the cities and towns throughout the
country, has inculcated in their minds
the advantages to be obtained by
adopting a method Of saving-one
where they are supposed to make
regular deposits. AS the opportunity
for buying liberty bonds on this basis
is no longer open to them, this new
idea Of issuing what is known as a
thrift bond, meets great favor. It
resembles in appearance the bonds
Ordinarily issued by the United States
government and large corporations.
The thrift bonds are issued in de-
nominations of $50. 500 and $3.50. on
which weekly payments Of II. " ana
IS, respectively, are made for term
Of fifty weeks.
Deliver Bonds Imnediately.
At the end Of this period. the entire
amount deposited together with inter-
est is paid to the deposition. either
by check through the mail, or At the
bank on demand. The bond Ii issued
to the deposition at the time OF the
flrst deposit
The fact that the deposits are in even
amounts, 81. 50 or IS, makes 1t con-
yenient for the teller, in fact, It is pos
sible to handle three or four thrift
bond accounts within the same space
of time that it ordinarily takes to
dispose Of one mixed deposit
AS the deposits are made. the
amounts are entered on the daily

BANKS ARE NOT LIABLE
FOR CONTENTS OF BOXES
Unless Negligence Is Charged and
Sustained Against
Officials,

Questioned AZ to the responsibility
Of banks for tho contents Of safety
deposit vaults, the American Bankers
Association offers the following opin-
ion:
curities contained in q safe-doposii
box rented to it's customer: but it is
held by the Law to tho exrcise Of
reasonable care. In Masonic Temple
Safe Deposit Co. Va. Langfelt, III
Ill. APP. $50, 1t was said:
what constitutes reasonable care
in the particular case depends upon
the circumstances, upon the nature OF
confidence which it invites and upon
the value and character of tho de-
posit intrusted to its care"
Whether reasonable care has been
exercised is a question for the jury
in each particular case, and most OF
the cases have involved loss by inside
theft.
A decision has recently been made
by the supreme court of Arkansas.
Merchants National Bank VS.. An
hotter, 215 S. w. 64S, where bonds of
a customer were kept in banks safe.
but were not placed in burglar
proof compartment contained in the
safe. Burglars blew or the door of
the safe and stole the bonds.
Gfess Negligence.
The jury found in this case that the
bank had not used reasonable care,
but was guilty of gross negligence
because it did not put the bonds In
the burglar-proof compartment.
This was not a case, however, where
a bank rented q box but one where
it took the bonds for safekeeping
and put them in its safe. but not in
the burglar-proof compartment.
The test in every case is whether
reasonable care has been exercised.
You might have q form Of agreement
signed by the depositor in which the
bank would be relieved OF the re-
sponsibility in case of burglary; or
on the other hand. you might obtain
insurance against burglary OF Gus
toner's securities contained in safe
deposit boxes. April. 1920.

The fact that the Merchants Trust

pono cup probably accounts for the
fact that the small number Of de-
positors previously indicated were
interest paid appeals to the depositor
as a reward for regular systematic
savings. Then, the fact that there is
no penalty. such as holding the funds
until the end of the year, is an at
tractive inducement to commence
saving for those who doubt their
ability to continue payments until
maturity.
The depositor can withdraw his
FUNDS at any time he wishes In

itors moving to another town, or on
account of death, or for other rea-
sons, have been compelled to close

May BE Used for Loans.
Thrift bonds may be used for COL
lateral security for a loan to the de-
to 7se some OF the money. and at the
same time continue his weekly pay
ments.
The bonds promise to hold a certain
amount Of this business with the
bank. even after payments are COM
pleted. 1t Is not to be expected that
all of the funds will be withdrawn for
immediate use or that the amounts
will be deposited elsewhere than at
at the bank operating the plan.
The thrift bond is attractive in ap-
pearance-the system Is simple and
handled easily, at no expense aside
from the original cost of the bonds.
