CHILDREN EXHIBIT
INTEREST IN TALKS
OF LOCAL BANKERS

Following out their original inten-
ton of visiting all city schools and
those throughout the county, the MEM
bers of the Marathon County Bankers
association have been addressing
many audiences the past several
weeks. The inclement weather of the
past week has for the most part COM
PEELED the bankers to confine their
speeches to city schools.
1T was qualification to see how
interested the children seemed to be
in our subject" said c. G. Kruger,
cashier of the First National bank in
talking with the editor of The Pilot.
"The children of the sixth and sew
enth grades there asked many ques-
lions of me when / spoke to them last
week, and most of their questions were
intelligent ones. 1t showed us that
they are thinking"
The talks thus far have been on
Bank Deposits and Checks and Bank
Loans and Discounts. Although the
subject matter is difficult the children
have seemed to understand. Mr.. Krue-
ger has followed system of careful
explanations, allowing the pupils to
ask questions whenever they desired.
In this way, he believes, they become
much more interested.

He urged appreciation OF these ad-
yantages for which we owe a great
deal to those persons who have lived
before us, who have given their tai
ents and inventions for the better
ment of humanity. We should not be
spongers, grasping all and giving
nothing in return TO our country ana

DETENTION HOUSE
TEACHERS URGED

One or two school teachers to act
as instructors at the house of deten-
ton for the inmates were advocated
by Mrs. Nina c. Van Wrinkle. director
of the woman's bureau of the police
department, in an address at the
weekly luncheon of the City Club
today.
Mrs. Van Wrinkle explained that the
average number of inmates at the
place was forty. She said 1t was
perferred that a man and woman be
assigned as teachers. but that if only
one is assigned woman should be
sent. She said Supt. Ballou of the
public schools has approved her sug-
gestion and that the matter would
soon be presented to the board of
education.
Need Of Equipment.
Before the step can be taken. Mrs.
Van Wrinkle said. more equipment is
needed. She pointed out that there
are not enough chairs to go around
among the children. At present chairs
used in the recreation room have to
be moved to the dining room for each
meal. and when they are in use in
the recreation room some of the in
mates are forced to sit in the win
dows or other places.
Clothing. beds and linen also are
needed for the institution. she said.
The speaker urged the City Club
members to use their efforts to have
Congress appropriate s3s.240. which
she declared is needed to carry on
the work of the place during the year.
The bill for this appropriation is now
in Congress. she explained. She
enumerated the various needs, of
which the largest item is $4,000 for
food for the inmates.
Amount Already Approved.
The House of Representatives had
allowed in it's appropria ton $4,000.
which is s11.240 less than is actually
needed. Mrs. Van Wrinkle said.
The speaker explained in detail the
work of the woman's bureau during
the past year. and also some of it's
additional work to be undertaken
this year. in which is included the
equipping of playground to be used
not only for the inmates of the in
stitution. but also for the children in
the neighborhood who at present
have no available playground.
She called attention to the fact that
children in the house at this time.
especially the boys, are not allow ed
out of doors during the time they are
held there. The girls in some in
stances are taken for walks through
the White Lot grounds.

IN REPAIRING
SIDEWALKS
Under Plan Most of Cost
Is Borne BY Property
Owners
SYSTEMATIC PLAN
Since Work Started Many Sidewalks
Have Been Repaired-Council Or
ders l27 Additional Walks Improved

A comprehensive system of side
walk improvements is now in prog.
ress in this city. Since it was
launched many sidewalks in bad con,
dition have been repaired by the
city.
Under the prevailing plan. the
work is done under the direction OF
City Engineer Z. c. Dunn and the
greater part of the cost is assessed
against the property owners.
In all cases where sidewalks are
in bad condition note is made of it
by the city engineer and committee
on streets and ordinances directing
repairs to same are presented TO the
city council and acted on.
At the meeting of city council last
Tuesday night resolutions directing
the repair of 127 sidewalks were or
dered. Of this number ninety-nine
are on North Columbus street.
This work probably will be com.
pleted before winter sets in. AL
ready large number have been re-
paired under the new plan and next
spring many more sidewalks are to
be repaired and in this way the city
council hopes to have every side
walk in the city put in good order
before next ummcr.

out just how good business is in Alex

headed individual who keeps in close
touch with the pulse Of the prospec-
tive purchaser and his logic is con-
Tincing.
"The most hopeful sign for busi-
ness Just now, Stated Mr. = rs in
the fact that so very many persons
are really in need of merchandise of
one kind and another. Many people
have refrained from making neces-
sary purchases awaiting the arrival
of the muchly advertised normally.
They have held back as long as pos
sible and now with reduced prices IN

their wardrobes and household fur
nishings. expect to do a good fall
business and ! have stocked my store
with an up-to-date line of staple mer-
chandise which ! anticipate turning
over without trouble
Taken as whole the merchant has
correctly sized up the situation. We
all baked at what we considered the
extortionate prices of the sky-rocket
period. Now we have to buy because
We must. And that's a darncd good

Salesmanship is an art. Some peo-
ME acquire it through persistent eff

learned it that way. And courtesy and
