SOUND ADVICE FROM BANKER

J. *. Mccormack, prominent Spok
ane banker, delivered very able an
comprehensive address at a recen
convention of grain growers, shipper
and millers. held in Spokane.
Mr.. McCornack's subject was ~
Better Understanding Between Grail
Growers and Bankers II his ad
dress were generally distributed, ant
read with an open mind, it would dt
much toward bringing about bettel
understanding. We have room fol
only few excerpts here:
"The banker who is really anxious
to be Of service should firmly refuse
credit when it is being dangerously
over-expanded even in the purchase Of
land or any other good property
which is liable to be load on the
debtor and cause later distress. He
should consistently advise his Gus.
toners against unwarranted debt that
might become embarrassing, even al
though by such action he should lose
what he considers valuable custom
er. He should insist that his loans be
conservative, beneficial and construc-
tive, and his advice should show a
real desire to help the borrower and
the bank with safety to both.
"The customer should certainly not
abuse his banker, either because he
cannot help him on account Of short
money or because the borrower has
already exhausted his credit and
there is no immediate prospect of re-
payment and strong probability of
final loss by the bank. He should at
least pay up his notes before think
ing or saying mean things about his
bank, or calling it a poorly run insti-
tution-because it is his best bridge
while he owes it money. He should
consider it his institution and help it
if he can, rather than tear it down,
as its failure or lack of strength
hurts him, his neighbors and the
community.
Il would advise the wheat-growers
and bankers to get closer together,
be more frank with each other, try
to understand the other mans prob
lens and troubles better and cooper
ate more closely in the mutual well
fare of both classes Of business. The
banker should go just as far as he
safely can in taking care of the
needs Of the farmer. The farme,
should work just as economically as
he can with efficiency, and should dc
without luxuries and non-essentials
until he gets back into better con,
dition, principally in his own inter.
est, but also in the interest of his
banker. II this policy is carried out
everything will come out all right in
the end"
Mr.. Mccormack considers it to be
the duty Of the banker to actively
and fearlessly oppose the sale in his
community Of mining or oil stocks or
other securities which he has REASON
to believe worthless.

ROMAN RECORDS IN AFRICA
Discovery II 10 Believed viii Throw
Much Light on Early History
Of the Empire.

A discovery which, 1t is claimed,
will form one Of the fundamental
sources for history of the Roman
empire under Augustus has been made
recently by Doctor OlIverIo, an Ital-
Ian savant In Cyrene, the ancient
Greek colony In Africa, founded In the
Seventh century.
A Morning Post correspondent, writ
ing from Cyrene. says that excavations
at Bengasi-the ancient Berenice,
which stood In the midst of the gar
dens Of the Hesperides, near the mouth
of the River Lethe-have resulted in
the unearthing Of a block of marble
eight feet long, one face of which
bears a fiawless Greek inscription of
over one hundred lines; the transla-
tion of letter from Augustus on the
government and administration Of JUS
tice in CydenaIca, giving a wonderful
insight into the financial and judicial
conditions Of the country at that time.
Other interesting finds are sane
tuary dedicated to Eastern divInities,
probably of the time of Julian the
Apostate, with a remarkably well-pre-
served black marble statue of an
Egyptian goddess. An extensive
Ptolemaic cemetery also has been To-
Gated. At Apollonla. a Christian ba-
silica of the Fifth century is being ex-
cavated. and at Merdj, the ancient
BARGE, some Cufc Inscriptions have
been found which are held to be Of
great Importance when the history Of
the Arab conquest comes to be written.

SEN. CAPPER
KN0WS-

Senator Capper always knows
what he is talking about. That is
why he is SO widely quoted. And
that is why we submit this state
ment from his pen for the benefit
of local business men.
Advertising as an essential fac
tor in business is better understood
and more thoroughly appreciated to-
day than ever before. Business
knows its power, and the consuming
public understands as never before
its economic value. We have come
long way since the time when we
thought it necessary to apologize for
advertising. Today advertising has
been eliminated of fraud and I'M
cleanliness. 1t rests on the crea-
ton of confidence and anything
that tends to undermine the con-
fidence Of the public in advertising
is not only doomed to failure itself
but what is more important, is
certain to act delecteriously upon
all advertising. We are laying a
broad and deep and solid merchan-
dising foundation in this country,
and we are laying it through ad-
vertising."

THE CLASS
OF 1922

Now that the ceremony is over
they are the same and still they are
different. The world will never
know them again just as they were
before Thursday of this week; it is
doubtful even if they will ever look
on themselves again just as they
did before the formal exercises
brought change in their young
lives.
A few days ago they were only
high school tudents-seniors, to be
sure, with a certain dignity and
gravity which differentiated them
from undergraduates. Today they
are high school graduates. Only
last week they were still schoolboys
and schoolgirls with lessons to re-
cite and themes to write; they were
subject to all the demands made on
students, even as freshmen are sub
ject to such demands.
Then came a series of tests and
ordeals; few days of anxious wait
ing; some little worrying on the
part of some of these candidates for
graduation as to whether they had
made the grade. Following this
they assembled for never-to-be-for-
gotten commencement exercises in
which they were given the final
words of cheer and inspiration
which turn students into graduates;
and then the high school doors
closed forever to eleven young peo-
Pile in this city, and on the very
same instant the doors Of the wide,

Important. Older fellow-alumni and
alumnae will take an interest in
these new recruits as older persons
always do in those who are younger.
The great world will be curious
about this new school generation
there will be watching and waiting
to see whether these boys and girls
whom the commencement orator has
handed over to Us are really as
clever and bright as their teachers
have made them out to be.
1t is a great and growing army
this army of high school graduates
May the new recruits find joy in
bringing credit to it's achievements.

had no direct interest in the prison.
ers but wish to establish the prin-
ciple of freedom to oppose the gov
eminent in time of war, President
Harding refused to receive the
crowd. Extreme radicals in all
parts Of the country are now en-
deavoring to create prejudice
against Mr.. Harding by declaring
that he refused to receive the petit
tions Of children for the pardon of
their parents.
The fact is that the President
announced his willingness and in
tention to continue the considera-
ton of each petition for executive
clemency, deciding each case on its
merits. But he is too level headed
to be stampeded by crafty propa-
gandists and has too keen a sense
of justice and duty under the law
to permit carefully planned dem
onstration to determine his course
of action.
Instead Of putting the President
in an embarrassing position before
the country the popagandists have
merely given him one more oppor-
tunity to prove his fitness for the
high office he occupies. By refus-
ing to be brow-beaten, Mr.. Harding
has won the confidence of the coun-
try in an increased degree.

THE COAL
STRIKE


Insofar as the average Winnie
mucca citizen is concerned, there
isn't a coal strike. Or at least one
would not know that thousands Of
miners are now idle if he had to
get his information through the
ordinary channels of conversation.
And yet, the struggle between
miners and operators is in full
swing, with more idle men now than
at any one time in the entire his
tory Of coal mining. For several
months this country is not going to
need a great amount of coal, as
compared with its demand in fall
and winter months. At present the
production Of non-union mines is
greater than the demand. How
great this surplus will be when the
first frost comes no one can tell.
And it is not until then that the
real fight between strikers and OPP
orators will be felt. Attempts to
boost the present price of coal by
using the strike as an excuse are,
therefore, another form of profiteer-
ing, and Uncle Sam could do no
better thing than protect the man
who wants to put in his coal early
by seeing that he is not gouged.

THE SWIMMING
SEASON

A New York boy who didn't know
a thing about swimming took a
chance the other day by jumping
into a deep river, simply because
some Of his companions called him
a SISSY" and dared him to jump in.
They pulled his lifeless body out
of the water. He had proved that
he wasn't afraid to take a dare
but it cost him his life.
It il better sometimes to let peo-
pie call you names than to go blum
dering into something that your bet
ter judgment tells you is unsafe
Riddles in this section have again
reached the swimming season, when
dangers are greater than at any
other time in their careers. They
will have their leisure hours, lots
of them, and they will spend good
part of their time in the water.
Anxious mothers will continue to
pass out the age-old warning about
being careful. But the boys will
go right on bantering each other
and taking chances, just as boys
have ever since the days of old
Adam.
Look at the number of boys who
have either lost their lives or be-
come cripples for life simply be-
cause they didn't want to take a
dare. We wish every boy in Win
nemucca could understand that there
are worse things than being called
a sissy" than being laughed at for
refusing to risk foolish dare. Be-
ing a cripple is far worse. Going
through life with one leg gone be-
cause another boy dared you to hop
a train; living with one eye because
another dared you to do something
which endangered your eyesight-
all that is a million times worse
than being laughed at or called
names. If you don't believe it, ask
any man who went through the
same thing-and every man has.
