At present the school is the chief meeting

have no club rooms and are held together
principally by the needs of the spirit. albeit
those of the flesh are many. Dr. Nicholas

The little savings bank book makes a
stronger appeal than alluring speculation
promises, for the boys understand the former
and trust it; other methods to invest and
get rich in hurry without hard work they
do not.
While considering savings banks and
school banks the following information may
be interesting:
Upon hasty thought we would expect the
savings banks to have been heavy losers dur
ing the last year, due to the prevailing de-
preston, but just the opposite has been
true.
The deposits in the 143 savings banks Ia
New York State for the year ended July l.
1921. were 1911, 1,114,00O. The Withdrawals
were $S15, 1877 900, gain of $156,O0000O as
against a gain of s137 100000 for the year
ended July l, 1920, which was an excep-
tionally good one.
In the meantime the depostors have in
creased in number more than $4,000. New
York, of course, leads the country in the
number of savings bank depositors and the
amount Of deposits.

bank secured a bank book in their own
names from a regular bank. while only $3.50
has been withdrawn by pupils. The greater
part of Withdrawals We're by boys who had
been graduated from the school or by boys
who were transferred to other schools.
The school bank is teaching thrift. Boys
do not deposit their money one day only to
take it out the next They are taking to
heart the slogan of the bank, Thrift means
intelligent and persistent saving"
The room set apart for the bank has the
aspect of real bank-paying and receiving
teller windows, wall stands where boys fill
out their deposit slips, partitions separating
the clerks from the depositors. &c.
The bank is operated with the exception
of Joseph Grosfeld as manager, entirely by
the boys of the commercial course. The
work they are performing prepares them for
the kind of work they expect to follow when
they leave school,

There have always been and there will
always be thrifty people who save money
whether their income is large or small; and
there has always been and will always be
the spendthrift who will save nothing no
matter how great his earnings may be. The
thrift folk are the bulwark of the nation.

public buildings 1t is their money that
finances the railroads and the great indus

financed the war.
Through the medium of the bank they
loan their savings and when they stop saw

The necessity of thrift and of laying aside
a certain amount of money daily or weekly
has been brought home to the boys of the
Mangin Junior High School more forcibly.

SAYS TRACTOR
HAS BEST Of
OLD DObb|N

The case Of the tractor against the
horse has been decided in favor Of
the former, says l.. T.. Rennells, sales
man for the J. I. Case Threshing
Machine company, who has been here
several days getting n line on the
tractor situation with the local Case
agency, J. II. Garrett & Son.
Yesterday. in company with ]. II.
Garrett. Mr.. Rennells visited c. ".
Moody, who is farming the Stone
ranch near Malin. They found that
Mr.. Moody had Just finishing break
ing 500 or more acres OF new land,
after contending with sage brush,
rocks and washouts. the latter in
some instances deep enough to bury
a tractor. But Mr.. Moody's Case trac-
tor stood up under the work with
ease. and when the 500 acres had
been we'll broken, the repairs TO the
tractor cost less than $1,000.
Having learned the lesson taught
by the heavy rains OF last fall, when
thousands OF bushels OF grain were
lost. many farmers are not going to
be caught mapping again. and intend
TO buy threshing outfits. said Mr.
Rennells.
Farmers must follow in the foot
steps OF American manufacturers.
and replace old methods with modern
system and machinery" continued
Mr.. Renneils. "or they will find
themselves In the position of the man
who stands on the curbstone and
watches the parade go by" He esti-
mates, after investigating the matter
under various circumstances, that II
annually takes from five to seven
acres, or about 500 worth of land,
to provide feed for one horse. Six
horses will consume the profits from
at least $4,000 worth OF land. and
one tractor will do as much work as
these six horses. The upkeep on
tractor is not more than the cost OF
repairs on one set OF harness, and in
addition to this there are at least
four months in the year when the
tractor can be laid up. the cost OF the
upkeep ceasing. while horses must be
fed the year around, and as the say
ing goes, "eat their heads off while
they are idle" And a tractor that
will do the work OF six hores, can be
bought for s1400, he says.
So in the case OF the tractor VS.. the
horse. the Case has done its share to
settle the case, says Mr.. Rennells.
