When Mr. Lynn Fox of the Y.
M. C. A., cunningly asked me to
write a piece on why Have
Bank Acct" I laffed with all the
wind ] had at my command. which
am sad to state is not a lot
When l asked how many words
was | supposed to write and he
said 30 a hunderd." I LATED again
but not quiet so much this time as
[ did the first time on account of
being out of breath from the first
time.
And telling "Why Have A Bank
Acct" in a hundred words puts a
story in my mind about a young
lady that was took out to dinner
by young man, and it goes like
this.
The young man was a very stu
dious young man and muchly in
trested in histry, and the young
lady wanted Sic should make a
big hit with the young man, and
her ma told her she should talk
about histry. and when the wait
or had took the order and went
out to the kitchen to forget part
of it and smoke a Camel, the young
lady laid her hand on the young
mans arm and said very affection
ate, Now before he gets back, do
tell me all about the rise and fall
Of the roaming empire"
That is not a new story but laff

goes good when you cant write but
hundred words, and so when l
am asked to write something in a
hundred words, / always tell that
story.
Well, one OF the reasons why
ever body should ought to have a
bank acct. is because when the
wolf comes around you can throw
your bank book at him and he
will streak it back to the hills
where he is living at. for IL there
! is anything that wolf hates
moren mr.. Pineau it is a bank
| book.
A mother reason for having a
bank account is that maybe some
time you are speeding up central or
along forth st in your kiddycar and
mr. Carter pinches you and judge
Mcclellan says its the usual
amount, why a bank account can
save you from wearing the brace
let on your ankle for a few days.
Or maybe you have got a little
| pain in your anatomy some where's
and the doctor says its miner op-
| Grafton that won't cost you moren
| 81 L, rtyhHy n -rnnI i6nu
| to prove it to him with your bank
book that you cant afford to pay
that much.
A bank acct. is some thing like
income, as it is a whole lot cas-
Ter to get along with in one than
it is to get along with out one,
which is a old joke but no Joke
when YOU have not got eyether. as
we say when lolling around the
campus.
A bank acct. is fine thing to
make some people, namely the
bank telIers, speak to you polite,
for when you go in and hand them
a check they always look at 1t first
and then say good morning mr..
Crabb. that is If it is me who hands
them the check and that is the
name / am using that day.
/ have never yet seen a bank
teller who didn't look at the check
first and then say good morning
mr.. Crabb. If he didn't look at the
check first / have no reason to
think that he would ever know it
was mr.. Crabb.
Maybe you have wondered why
] - AL IF nf
them ever tells you where and the
Il to get off when your acct. IS
| overdrew or you have got note
past do, why you will never won
der again why they call them tell
ers. 1 speak from injurious ef-
fects.
A mother reason why we should
ought to have bank accts. is II we
don't have them we wont have no
banks and If we haven't got no
banks lust think of all the vacant
corners we would have in our
cities now that the saloons is out
of business ha ha.
A bank acct. means financial in
dependence. Financial indepen-
dence is within reach of nearly ever
BODY but is attained by few.
Where will you be at 65? There
IS a old saying that there is liars,
d liars, and statisticians, but
here is what the biggest bank In
the u. S. says about it. Out of 100
people 25 yrs. old. 81 will be de-
pendent on others at 65. 36 will
be dead, many of them for want of
attention that money would OF Sc
cured. will be working for mea-
gre living. 4 will be well TO 90,
and one will be Independent.
Putting something aside regular
is buying financial INDEPENDENCE
on the dollar down and eaten me
plan. It is simple, certain, and
works no hard ships. In piece OF
mind and self respects II Is the
clear Mccoy.
Fathers struggle to acquire
competence to leave their children,
hut they overlook the fact that
children had better be schooled in
thrift as no better heritage can be
give to the boys and girls than the
habit of thrift and self dependence
that is a inseperable part of IT.
Ren Franklin. who made klting
poplar. hit the nail on his thumb
when he said Money is of a
nrolific generating nature. Money
can beget money. and its offspring
can, beget more, and sews on to
stilI more" or words to that effect.
It seems to me that Mr.. Fox
should ought to of asked one OF our
ministers to write this piece for the
Thrift week, for I once heard a
Meth Bishop say that preachers
was the thriftiest people In the
world as they could make a peiter
showing on less than any otneI
class of people in the world except
their wives.
But since ! was asked TO write
the piece and there wasn't no
preacher setting in my room at the
moment, why it was up 10 me 10
