Cooperative Bank

In explaining the meaning Of the cooperative bank, Mir. Stone says:
 ''Tha desire for profit shall be sup planted by the motive of service in handling the peoples money. The last report of the Comptroller of the Currency shows that nearly S13 out of every S14 constituting the $54,913,- 00,000 banking resources of the country were contributed by deposi- tors. They are the customers who make the prosperity of the bank. They have a right to share in that prosperity. For this reason coopera- tive banks strictly limit the dividend that can be paid to shareholders, and after setting aside the necessary re- serve, distribute their surplus earn ings proportionately among their de positors.
 Banks Policy
 Furthermore, since the great ma jority of depositors are farmers and wage earners, the policy of the CO., operative bank is to use their de Fosits to promote their prosperity in common with that of the whole busi- ness community. In other words, the farmers marketing associations and the workers cooperative organiza- tions get square deal at the CO., operative banks. just as do the bnsi- ness men who need credit for produc- tive purposes. There are no insid- CTS, no favorites 10 play, no utlliza- ton Of the peoples money to under write speculative enterprises,
 Two years ago there was not a single cooperative bank in the United States. Today there are 10 in sue cessful operation and six more now organizing. Within the space of 2G months the Brothorho0d of Locomo tive Engineers Bank has increased resources from s653,000 to $19000. GOO

AS the air is the medium in

Of the highest Importance that we
know some of the laws Of it's rela-
tionship to ourselves.
In the first place. then, let it be
remembered that the pure atmos-
phere is a conglomeration of little
particles of matter, too small to be
seen by the naked eye, forming a
mass OF gas that surrounds the
earth to the surface of which it is
held by the force Of gravitation.
This mass Of gas is thicker and
denser near the surface of the
earth because the lower Aayers
carry the weight OF the upper lay
ers.
O5e-half the quantity by weight
OF the atmosphere lies within three
and one-half miles Of the earth.
1.-The other half occupies the miles
above that level, growing thinner
and lighter the higher it is.

SECRETS OF HEALTH
AND SUCCESS
ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE AND HEALTH

At fifty miles the atmosphere is
seventy-five times lighter and at
three hundred miles it is two mil
lion times thinner and lighter, than
at sea level.
It presses straight down upon
the earth at the rate OF nearly
fifteen pounds Q40 to the
square inch at sea level.
But so far as our relation to
the atmosphere ise concerned it
is important to remember that,
under the natural law Of gases,
the atmosphere presses equally
in all directions at the same time.
This means that the atnlos.
phere presses equally upon us,
top, bottom and sides, at the rate
of fifteen pounds to every square
inch Of our surface.
In other words, the atmos-
pheric pressure upon the surface
Of every average-sized individual
is approximately, seventeen and
one-half tons.
If there were no contrary
forces to resist this pressure we
would be crushed as IL in a rise.
The chief resistant forces with.
in US are. first, the tissues-re-
sistance OF inertia. Second, the
electro-motive force OF the sys.
tem-shoWn through the mus
cles Of which the heart is the
most striking example. Third,
the air that permeates our bodies.
1t is the play of these forces
against each other-called the
equilibrium of forces"-that en-
ables us to exist.

This Is a rubber tree. And

that when the tree sways in the
