The Financial
Complex


the only one who has the fin
. ancial complex, you forget the
bachelor. His complex Is not SC
I active but It is ever present, like
Eesuvius, and ready to erupt at
any moment. This Is particularly
true II he is counting a modern
girl - and they are all modern
these days. No old-fashioned ones,
any more.
The business houses are get
ting to be SO much more efficient
in their collections, too.
If you move from San Fran
cisco owing a Sc grocery bill,
there is lawyer waiting for you
at the station in New York. and It
doesn't matter much which train
you arrive on.
Financial depression, q condi-
tion in which we are well-versed,
Is most often caused by the pa
tient trying to keep up with the
styles. The styles nowadays can't
be kept up with even If you are
on Q motorcycle.
Keeping up with the styles is
the best way in the world to
teach Q bank account how to take
. joke. Nothing becomes dis
eouraged 50 quickly As . bank
account. It is the original sensi-
Hve-plant and will turn its face
away from the sun and will
wither and die on the slightest
provocation.
A bank account II the Joe
Beckett Of the modern financial
world. A few slight pokes and
II will kiss tho canvas and take
the count.
A single man may wear cellu-
loid collars and those cute bow
ties that you buy at the ten-cent
store and which hook on with q
little rubber loop and imagine
that he Is the Beau Brummel Of
the old homo town.
Then he meets tho milliner's
assistant who gets her styles
direct from Paris (Ill.) and his
financial education begins, also
his complex. He learns for the
first time what wages are for.
He begins wearing linen collars
and he has two neckties that 60
Ill the way around his neck and
he begins to regard his bank
account as q broken resd. It
doesn't seem to pack any moro Of
. wallop than a Siberian weak
fish in q battle with a man-eating
shark.
The financial complex Of some
people, a great many people, in
fact, has to do with banks. They
just naturally hesitate to 60 into
. bank and try to borrow money.
They do not seem to realize that |
there is no law against trying.
Taking money from q bank |
without asking for it is, In some |
States, regarded as a misde- |
manor, but to ask for 1t is no
crime, even if you don't get it,
which the chances are 80 to /
that you do not.
But the banks might be made
. little more homelike at that,
and doubtless could draw more
customers of the timid sort.
For instance, a bank could do
. great deal of business If it
would sprinkle little sawdust on
the floor, dress the tellers up in
white aprons, hang few pictures
Of race horses around In the
lobby and have q bowl Of pretzels
and . dish Of cloves down at the
and Of the counter.
\ Also, II they would remove
those ugly steel screens and cages
and let the customers come into
Q little closer contact with the
money, It Is believed some Of the
customers now suffering from
the financial complex would lose
their shyness.
The financial complex 10 q
serious matter. II II epidemic,
and many people do not under
stand why money IL shy when
they do their best to spend about
a6 per cent more than they earn.

The following letter was received
this. week under date of Sept. 30, by
Mr.. and Mrs. A. e. Aldridge, from
their daughter, Miss Carol, who is TAX
ing normal training course at the
Lewiston normal school, and is de-
scriptive of t h lewiston Charleston
celebration of the opening of the new
Lewis and Clark hotel:
Il went to the SWEETEST pageant and
parade this afternoon for the opening
of the new Lewis & Clark hotel They
had the most beautiful floats and
there was more thought to it than in
any parade that I've ever seen. They
had first the Moose band and then
here came the Indians (Nez Peroes)
on horseback in all their dress para
phernalia, and then came the miners
and hunters; then the Spaldings, and
then came Lewis and Clark and the
pioneers in the covered wagons with
oxen and dogs and their pots and ket-
ties hanging on the back of the wag-
ons. Then it showed the progress in
vehicles. They had one of those old,
old bicycles with the wheel about
three feet in front and about one-half
foot high, one in back, and a tandem,
and then 1908 model Buick and on it
was placard, 1905 Model Buick and

and it sure wasn't running still 1t

was the new bicycle and motorcycle

Maryey Washbnrn for sheriff

The contest on the republican
ticket for nomination for the office of
sheriff in the primary election was a
spirited one and handsome majority
of the voters gave their support to
Harvey Washburn, of Copeland.
He is q years old, was born at
Copeland, and has lived in this county
all his life. He was reared on farm
and has followed farm work and saw
mill work since he left the parental
roof.
Mr.. Washburn understands the
duties of the office he seeks. He
served as deputy sheriff for several
months two years ago and resigned
to look after his ranch interests
The voter who does not know per-
sonally the man seeking a political
office generally relies to a great ex-
tent upon the opinion in which the
candidate is held in his home COM
munity Copeland and Porthill peo-
pie evidently think that Mr. Wash
burn is the proper man to fill the
office and they showed their con-
fidenee in him and their approval of
his candidacy in the primary election

weight with the voters of other dis
tricts of the county TO insure Mr.
