II have brought with me from

beseeching their brethren here 10 save
them from destruction and starvation
and develop Palestine so that they

its quota. Let the Jewry Of Whining

Keep Your Money in a Bank

A NCrth Carolina woman

and hid the money in her home
Wicked neighbors found 1T out,
and that nigh. she was attac-
ked and robbed and beaten

Banks fail sometimes, it is
true, due to variuos causes. But
the failures are few. and the
depositors seldom lose their
money. Stockholders in a
bank are liable for twice their
holdings, and this safeguard,
with others.is ample protection
for those who place their mon.
IN deposit.
When money is stolen it is
gone forever, as a rule. 1t is
dangerous to keep money or
qe's person or in ones house
The only safe and sane rule is
to keep money in a bank.

Our Stake in Europe

Josephus Daniels, former
secretary of the navy, told the
North Carolina Press Associa-
:, address the other day
that so long as Russians are
starving and German currency
is selling by the peck, the world
cannot get back to normal.
With these two great countries
in distress, he said, the effects
will be felt in every quarter of
the globe and by every citizen
of every country.
And he is right. The effect
of conditions in Russia and Ger
many are being felt today by
the humblest mechanic and the
smallest farmer in the United
States. -.
The world is as big as it used
to be, but means ofcommunica-
ton have improved and dis
lance means little now. Trade
between nations had grown 50
great previous to the outbreak
of the world war, that no coun-
try was living to itself. And
now when one suffers, all suffer.
Therefore it is good business
policy for us, if we are moved
by no higher motive, to do
what we can to aid in the re-
Mobilization of Europe.
