FORMER cHALLIS BOY
Claude Mckendrick Meets Death in
Tragic Manner at Vestai, Cal.

Claude McKendrick, a former Chal-
lis boy met sudden, shocking and
tragic death at Vestal, California, on
June the 10Th. The following from
the Porterville, California paper gives
the detailed account of the manner
in which he met his death. He was
a member of the Elks Lodge of vi
salia, California, which organization
conducted the funeral services. His
mother and two sisters of Salt Lake
City, attended the funeral services.
Claude McKendrick was instantly
killed and his companion Edmund
Fitzmaurice, was fatally burned about
nine o'clock this morning when they
came in contact with a 10000 volt wire
at the Southern California Edison Co.
station, at Vestal, between Ducor and
Rfchgrove.
"McKendrick's body is now at the
Lloyd funeral parlors and it is burned
so badly that only the shoes were
left on it. Fitzmaurice was taken to
the Porterville Hospital and passed a
way shortly after one o'clock.

8. A. Barber and Deputy Coroner Carl
F. Lloyd of this city were summoned.
Fitzmaurice was rushed to the hospi-
tai where he is now receiving medi-
cal aid, being under DR.. BARRIERS care.
According to reports and informa-
ton gathered by Mr.. Lloyd the acct
dent resulted from the two men mis-
understanding instructions received
from their foreman. They were in
structed to remove the guy wires from
a pole at the bottom and instead IN
dertook to remove them from the top.
Both men climbed the pole McKen-
drick going up first. When he was
near the top in some manner contact
was formed with the $4,000 voltage
wire. 1t killed him instantly.
His companion Fitzmaurice, no.
realizing the man was dead. climbe
to the top of the pole in an endea7r~
to rescue McKendrick. 1t was while
trying to do this that he was burned
Both men were members of the e.
ison company heavy construction crew
which has been at Vestal for some
time past doing extra work. Both
were single men.
"Mr. Lloyd has set the inquest for
tomorrow afternoon"

Swords and Fish.

Indians still spear FISH on some Ca
madam rivers with the oldfashioned
trident. But in Haiti the natives use
a machete, as their huge sword-llke
knife is called. The waters abound
along the Haitian coast in mullet,
mackerel, kingfish, cardines. red snap
pers, white fish, and many other va
rieties of excellent food fish, the COM
mon method of fishing by the natives
is that practiced at night. by the
means Of torch and a sharp machete.
The light dazes the fish and the expert
native kills It with his instrument.

Massachusetts has issued tabulation
made by mutual savings bank in an
average New England town showing
that, Of the accounts opened during a
six months period, IS to 80 per cent
were open at the end of the period
At the end of the next six months
about 70 per cent were open. At the
end of one year about 60 per cent
were open; at the end Of IS months
about 55 per cent; at the end Of three
years about so per cent; and then the
figure rather steadily declined by to
3 per cent Of the original number

still open. After that the changes were
very small, mostly on account of death

Federal Reserve Copied

Peru is the first country in Latin
America to reorganize its banking
system according to Federal Reserve
principles by the enactment of the
Federal Reserve Act of Peru to de-
velop the country's resources along
modern lines of financing. Peru's new
banking system is modelled after the
United States Federal Reserve, with
notifications such as the banking
conditions and general financial sit
uation there require. 1t provides for
the creation of a Federal Reserve
Bank in Peru. The directorate of this
bank is to be composed of nine mem
bers, three of whom are to be desig
mated by the Government and the
other six are to be elected by the
member banks.

Banks are said to deal in credit
The word credit" has various mean
ings. When you deposit money, your
account receives "credit" for that
amount When a man borrows money
on his note at the bank, he is granted
credit" When a railroad, a manu-
featuring concern, a towE, or a gov,
eminent, issues bonds, it uses its
credit" When anyone buys goods
without paying cash, at the time OF
purchase, credit" is granted. With
out credit, our present day business
system could not exist.
Credit is possible only where peo-
pie have confidence in each other,
and confidence can exist only where
good character exists. Every success
full business man looks upon his credit
standing as a most valuable asset,
and he maintains it by square dealing.
To get credit man must pay his
debts, or 1t soon becomes known he is
not of good character and not worthy
OF confidence Those from whom he
banks decline to grant him credit.
Then come business failure and long
uphill fight to get on his feet again
and live down the past
More Than Honesty Needed
Honesty is not the only factor In
volved in credit. For instance, Mr..
Jones, man Of forty, of excellent
morals, who has enjoyed a fair In
come for many years, sees an oppor-
tunity to purchase a business. He
requires financial assistance. He calls
on a banker and asks for the neces-
sary credit. The banker asks the ma
ture Of the business, what it will cost,
and what Mr.. Jones can command in
ready money, or other resources, but
learns that he has no money or prop
erty of his own
1t is clear that Mr.. Jones lacks
ability to manage his affairs wisely.
He has not had enough strength OF
character to save money by adapting
expenses to income, and therefore has
not proved that he could make f1nan-
cial progress. Moreover, if men do
not invest some of their own money
in the business they usually lack in
centive and become easily discour-
aged. It would be unwise for anyone
to assume such a financial risk, and
Mr.. Jones probably would fail to get
credit from the bank. He must give
up his opportunity to some one else
who has saved money.
Banks are public servants, but that
does not obligate them to serve those
who are unfair in business or lack
ing in the great principles underly-
ing success. To be known as a care
full and thrifty person is the best
assurance that the bank will extend
financial help when needed.
Many people think that one should
shun debt like the measles. They
fail to distinguish between wise and
unwise debt. 1t is wise to use credit,
that is, go into debt, to buy home.
Such debt encourages thrift. stu
dent may wisely borrow money need
ed to complete his education. 1t is
an investment that should pay divf-
dends in greater success. Another
wise use Of credit is borrowing
to buy good bonds, such as Liberty
Bonds. paying $40 down, borrowing

$50 from the bank, and paying it of
out of savings.
When to Shun Debt
There are circumstances, however,
under which one should never borrow
money. Never incur debt in a spec
ulative venture. OF THE PEOPLE
WHO SPECULATE, TWENTY-FIVE
PER CENT LOSE. Neither should
debts be incurred to purchase plea
sure-giving possessions. Such debts
are millstones around the necks of
countless families.
Progressive banks adhere to the
same standards they exact of their
patrons. Their business methods
must be beyond reproach. They ex-
clude business of doubtful reputation
and have no part in the feverish
struggle for sudden wealth. Well
managed banks are regarded with
great respect, and hold a place of
ever increasing Importance.
Some thoughtless persons criticize
banks for not making loans more
freely but 1t must be remembered
that a banks business is to receive
deposits as well as to grant loans,
and it is therefore the trustee Of
money belonging to others. 1t must
safeguard it's depositors' funds and
so control them as to be always ready
to return them intact upon demand
That requires great care in granting
credits.
