DON'T KICK; BE A
NATIONAL BANK

There is a very useful law in the
United States by which a national
bank can issue currency money upon
depositing the equivalent in United
States bonds in the United States
treasury. The bank continues to own
the bonds and draw the regular in
terest on them while they are still in
Uncle Sans custody. The money is
SUED by the bank reaches all of us in
So, so and $40 notes, and we pass
them everywhere at 100 cents on the
dollar.
That's what United States bonds
will do for a national bank.
Liberty bonds are also United States
government bonds for which the peo-
pie paid Uncle Sam 100 cents on the
dollar. But, although owners of Lib
erty bonds do not ask for the favor of
issuing money on such bonds, when
the time that they want to sell
them, interest and all, and get much
needed cash for them, they have to
accept considerably less than 100 cents
on the dollar.
In other words, the national bank
eats it's cake and still has it. The
ordinary fellow, ON the other hand,
only gets a part of his cake to eat,
and when eaten it is all gone for good.
It's a fine life if you don't weaken!

SOMETHING FOR A PASTOR
TO FIND OUT QUICK.

The Rev. McElvern, OF Portland,
Ore, has gotten himself considerably
disliked by calling a man outside his
church "a - fool" and by the ex-
preston of various and sundry other
rather blunt remarks.
Says the Rev. McElvern: "Ill bet
my church is with me to a man, but
| don't know about the women"
Better find out right away, pastor.
Don't wait a minute! Because If the
m of your church are not for
you, goodnight, pastor!
The women are the prop and bull
wark oil every Christian church. They
not only furnish the numbers and
most of the recruits, but they furnish
the church with both the spiritual
and practical religion that keeps i'll
alive and active. There are men, of
course, in every church, and the men
supply the bulk of the money, but
without the spiritual zeal and the
free labor of the women members it
would be a pretty dead church.
By all means, Pastor McElvern,
find out how the women feel about it.

fear of being charged with having sold

We shall temper justice with mercy.

WHAT is so INSCRUTABLE
AS LIFE2

Speaking of a man who has just
died-one Walter N. Lipe-friends, re-
latives and neighbors told of his happy
family life.
AS general manager of a great pack

into gold for his company and made
a million for himself.
HE resigned recently" said the
president Of the packing institution,
ito become vice-president of the great
American Sugar Refining Company.
We were very. very sorry to lose

Lipe died the day before he was to
take possession of his new Office. The
president of the sugar refining COM

WTW also laid
~ claim to this
territory and included 1t in the
grant to North Carolina. But
it was the French who first set
tied here erecting in 1902 Fort
st. Louis on Mobile Bay and
founding the town of Mobile nine
years later. Mobile was for
many years the capital of Louisi-
ana. France In 1863 coded the
territory east of the Mississippi
to England and the northern part
of the present State of Alabama
was Joined to the Illinois terri
tory. The southern portion was
known as West Florida. Serious
conflict with the Indians was
kept up for many years. In fact,
wen as late as 1872, there was
an uprising of the Greeks which
resulted In terrible atrocities and
massacres.
During the Revolution West j.
Florida remained loyal to Eng
land, but was seized by Spain
only to be turned over to the
United States In 1913. This Mo-
bile section was then added to
the northern district and the
State of Alabama was formed
and became the twenty-second
state of the Union in 1910.
The meaning of the name Ala
bama Is variously interpreted.
1t was the name of an Indian
tribe which inhabited this ter
ritory at the time of De Soto's
first visit. After this tribe the
river was named and the state
was called Alabama after the
river. The Indian word was sup
posed to mean Here we rest"
and these words are used on the
states coat of arms, but this in
depreciation Is doubtful and It's
real neaning Is uncertain. Ala
bama Is sometimes called the
Plantation State. Its area is ST.
99S square miles.

It was then believed to be a sort OF

not 70 be reck koned with. II is nov
tho subject OF some earnest discus
eions among political leaders
In the very nature Of things an or

openly declare against an organiza-
ton. the basic principles OF which arc

II IS noteworthy to recall that IT
ras the Republican press OF Indiana
which was frst 10 come to the front
10 print exposures of this organiza-
ton. Governor McCray did not hesi-
tate to condemn II and declared the
very name was obnoxious Il is very
likely that an official investig cation cf
tts activities Will be initiated BY the
state government IN the very near fu-
ture>
SO far the Democratic leaders and
the press of that party have been very
silent on the subject Somehow there
seems to be a lurking hope among the
leaders OF the Democratic organiza-
tton that the khan will again intimi-
date the negro voters They overlook
the fact that other large elements OF
the population are being insulted by
the very existence OF the knights OF
the Ku Klux Khan. The very silence
OF the Democratic party on the sub
iect Is causing comment.

The situation IN Indianapolis Is be-
coming more interesting. The Re

ing the election OF Lew Shank. Repub-

The most remarkable thing about .l1s

tenants and there Is every indication

more enthusiastic Republicans believe
shank Will carry every ward. The
only section in which he Is likely to
fall behind his Democratic opponent is
IN the second ward which IS normally
Republican.
Lew shank opened his speaking
campaign Saturday night. The meet
ing was preceded by a parade. the
largest that was ever staged in a nun
icipai campaign. While shank lacks
many Of the graces and performs IL a
manner which makes him subject t3r

lost none of his popularity with the

BOY SCOUT FOUND
HANGED IN CLOSET

CHICAGO. Oct. 3.-Poiice authorities
are puzzled today over the death of
Samuel Burlington. 14-year-old high
school student. whose body was found
dangling lifeless at the end OF a rope
in the closet Of his home They have
been unable to determine as vet wheth-

murder or whether he sccidentiy killed
himself while endeavoring to demon
etrate his skill az tying knots.
A Coroner's inquest Will De held to-

that his hands had Been tied behind
him IN such nenner that no effort u
