and expressed his willingness to talk
TO the reporter for a minute or two.
Why ObjeCt?-Kline.
What did he think Of bobbed
hair? He didn't know whether girls
cut their hair because II was the
style or because II was comfortable.
Yes. he thought that girls could
manage their own affairs and that
they should wear their hair any
way they saw fit. He didn't see why
other people should bother about
il. The girls would probably do as
they pleased, anyway

schools at Kendallville, Ind, and
Miss Blanche Thumb, clerk. well

Mr.. Finch in manner that told the
world that he knew what he was
talking about.
MCGOWAN Takes no Chances.
ITS a silly fad" said Miss Thumb
emphatically, and agreed with Mr..
Finch that the style would soon
pass.

Perhaps he has something to say

- OBBED hair for South Bend
x girls?
- The question has been
pending for some time. but the re-
cent notice that Marshall Field and
Co.'S store OF Chicago is discharging
the clerks with abbreviated locks
who refuse TO wear net over their
hair and let said hair grow out has
brought matters 20 a head.
South Bend must certainly have
some ideas on the subject" said the
editor as he stroked his chin
shoughtfully. Then he called TO a
young lady whose outstanding char
acteristics seemed to be youth, mex
perience. and bobbed hair.
How would You like 10 get a
story on this?'' he asked. giving her
the press notice from Chicago.

The eyes Of the inexperienced
young lady with bobbed hair snap
ped dangerously as she recalled the
various newspaper controversies on
the subject

went IN search of representative

stairs she met the copy-boy.

bobhed hair Of the reporter.

trying 90 sit me In bad"
Honestly. Pm not. Be game. and
tel me just what YOU think"
Hot STUFF,
''Tot stuff" said Eddie as he van

discovered bart.caded behind numer-
Gus racks Of fall suits and coats. on
hearing OF her mission he looked
rather dubious and at first refused

I'm afraid what I would say
wouldn't suit the bobbed haired
girls" he said with this as a start
the reported finally succeeded IN get
ting the following opinion on the
subject: Hair bobbed for a legid-

scalp, is all right Hair bodied
"just for foolishnezs" Is all wrong.
FINDS Defender.
The young and inexperienced re-
porter showed he- hat farther down
on her head. tucked her hair IN
more carefully. and started for the
s Robertson Bros store There she
accos,ed Mr. Humble with the Ques-
ton. What do you think OF bobbed

matter gravely and then said We

TO bobbed hair. There are several
girls with bObbed hair in the store
and can't see that their work is In
ferior. We aren't advocating it, I'M
derstand. but we do not let that en-
ter into the bargain when we en-
ploy a clerk"
"Why Ask Us?"-Alibis.
It seemed only logical that the
Y. W. G. a, dealing as it does with
so many of the girls Of the city,
ought TO have something TO say. so
the reporter went there in search of
another interview. The woman at
the desk regretfully gave the infor-
nation that Miss Heath, the secre-
tary was away. and that she did
not feel that she ought TO say any
thing in behalf Of the organization.
Pressed for her personal opinion,
she said, I have wondered what all
the trouble is about. I can't see
that 1t makes any difference whether
d girl wears her hair long or short,
so long asShe is tidy"

FARMERS BANKRUPT BUT
N. Y. BANK GRABS 1549o


The New York Federal Reserve
Bank has just issued it's quarterly
statement, showing a net profit of
ITO for the past six months, or at
the rate of 1o4 per cent for the year
on it's S27,00O,OOO capitalization.
There is money in handling the peo-'
pies money, not for the people who
own the money, but for the few who
manipulate it. For remember that
the Federal Reserve Bank is the
"bankers' bank" which borrows the
.pople's money from the United States
Government at low rate of inter-
est, and lends it out to its member
banks to reloan at profit to the
people. There is plenty of money
for the spectators and big business.
whose huge profits enable them to
pay high rate of interest. There
is no money, only shabby, time-worn
excuses for the hundreds of thous-
ands of American farmers who are.
going bankrupt because the bankers
will not lend them the money to
market their crops at profit, or
even at. cost of production. Yet the
farmers have the best security in the
world, essential food commodities of
universal demand. What is the
trouble? Are we to conclude that
our present banking system is run
for the benefit of the stock exchange
and the speculator rather than for
the producers? Comptroller of the
Currency Crissinger gave the game
away in his advice to the Ohio Bank
ers Association at its Cleveland meet
ing on July 14th:
"Individual bankers will not
serve themselves well, in the long
run, by presenting to, the public
balance sheets which show too
generous profits at time when
industry and agriculture are de-
pressed and must be satisfied to :
keep their losses at minimum.
Generous profits" Q54qo) for the
bankers. Losses" and bankruptcy
for industry and agriculture! And
the banking business will continue to
be run that way until the workers
and farmers establish cooperative
banks to mobilize their credit under
their own control Private control
of banking means banking for profit
and exploitation. Cooperative, con-
troll of credit means banking for SER
vice and production. Which shall it
be?
