them in the financial tramp class.
No winner ever hoboes tinanci-
ally through life. Every achieve
ment has started with good bank
connection.
Bankers keep many an enthus
iastic person from playing glitter
ing CANDLES, and some times save
a considerable part of the com
munity from paying an exorbitant
speculation in the bitter school of
speculative experience.
Don't blame the banker who
fails to agree with your misconccp
ton of opportunity. If he did
agree, the examiners would not be
long in closing his bank.
Banks often are brakes that
stop the runaway trains of ruin

SUCH WASTE.

Floyd W. Parsons. journalist,
states his views on the conserva-
ton of the coal resources in an
interesting fashion. He says:
When a householder burns one
ton of good bituminous coal IN a
Kitchen range he has sacrificed
something like 1000 cubic feet
Of gas, rs pounds of ammonium
sulphate, 20S gallons of pure
benzol, 0.56 gallons of pure toll
uol and nine gallons of coal tar.
where on earth can one find
any other material as useful?
A four-foot seam of coal contains
enough ammonium sulphate to
fertilize the land above it for
1000 years. We burn each year
lin our wasteful beehive ovens
enough nitrogen to fertilize TO-
100000 acres. Our country's pro
duction of wheat could be in
creased more than S0,000,000
bushels a year if the ammonia that
is now wasted in beehive ovens
were to be saved and used.
Conservation does not mean
that we must curtail the use of
commodity. True economy does
not come from using sparingly,
but using well. The great waste
in the world today is in the burn
ing of coal. "

DO YOU BELIEVE IN BANKS?

The bank is constructive. The
charge that the bank makes mon
ey is as senseless as the charge
that the grocer and the baker

If the banks didn't make mon

to their depositors?
No matter what banks have
failed to do, they never dissapat-
ed fortunes the way fy-by-night
schemes have done.
The banker is a merchant whose
merchandise is money, or the
equivalent of money-and all
values are decided ON a money
basis.
A bank may be robbed; but for
every bank that is robbed, sever

through that experience.
The fellow who SCOTS at the

Banks may not pay as much as
get-rich-quick quacks promise, but
the difference is this; Banks ac-
tually pay!
A pass book is evidence of
life conducted on a business basis.
Lack of a bank account is about
the same as smoking cigarettes in
bed or blowing out the gas.
Banks are stop-look-listen signs

g GHOST BREAKER COMEDIAN
SAYS HE'S THE LUCKIEST EVER.

Walter HERS has enjoyed a new
brand of thrill.
The Paramount comedian, in San
Francisco for scenes in a new Para
mount picture, 1.-The Ghost Breaker
which will be shown at the Ken
worthy theatre, Thursday and Friday
and in which Wallace Reid is the
star, stood on the pier and watched
a big crane on ship lift a net load
of trunks from the dock and swing
them through the air and let down
on deck
Then he watched the same opera
ton again, but the second time the
net broke and the trunks fell several
feet to the deck of the ship.
Now for the next scene" said di-
rector Alfred Green, you are to sit
on top of the net load of trunks and
ride over through the air, to the
ships deck"
Wallace had natural misgivings
about the strength of the net, especi-
ally after his weight was added to
the load of trunks, but, nevertheless,
he took the ride and happily, landed
safely on the deck. Just Think
might have been on that load that
broke the nett" exclaimed the fat
actor, who claims he is one of the
luckiest men in the world.

NEW CUMMINGS PRODUCTION
CARRIES FINE CAST

When the cast for the new Irving
Cummins production of Louis Duryea
Lighton's story of the underworld,
Flesh and Blood" was assembled, a
group of leading men and women were
given the principal parts. All of them
have been featured alone in former
pictures; and now they may be seen
together in the photoplay coming to
the Liberty theatre for three days,
beginning Saturday
Lon CLANCY has been regarded as
the most powerful character actor on
the screen today; and in Flesh and
Blood" he inpersonates an escaped
convict whose fear of the law is so
great that he DISCUSSES himself and
becomes helpless cripple. His por-
trayal is vivid and compelling-one
which extracts the utmost sympathy
Edith Roberts and Jack Mulhall take
care of the romantic interest, the
former playing the daughter of the
convict, the latter, the son of the
financier who sent the unfortunate
man to prison. Ralph Lewis, famous
for his work in Griffith productions
is the conscience-strick magnate,
while Noah Berry enacts cunning
Oriental to the manner born. Ae de-
tective is admirably limned by De
Witt Jennings.
The author of Flesh and Blood"
Louis Duryea Lighton, was formerly
a newspaper man and then a social
worker. He has come into personal
contact with numerous underworld
characters and knows the psychology
of the man who has lost hope behind
prison walls.
