HERE COMES HELP

Don't "kid' the youngsters who, graduating TINS year
from high school or college, start out into the world WIN
sure confidence that they are going to take charge OF things
and save the situation on short notice.
All of us have to go through that period OF youthful en-
thusiasm. And it's a good thing. Looking back, the older
generation realizes that their exuberant start gave them
momentum without which they might have weakened and
fallen by the wayside.
Go ahead, you graduatesi You're the hope of the world.
And the enthused, confident newcomer in the battle OF lie
can take wallops that would make an old-timer go down
for the count.
Maybe, after all, the 1928 graduates are right in their
conviction that they are going to save the world.
The world certainly can stand a lot of saving.
And the re-enforcements pouring from the schools this
year are badly needed. The regulars are in mud to their
necks and wavering. S
Looking the world over, most of us realize that the pres'S
ent generation has made pretty much of a failure OF things.
We've almost destroyed a civilization built up painfully and
laboriously through thousands Of years. The rising gener-
alton will not have to do much of a job to beat our pitiful
record. All set, youngsters Bets on you! Over the top! 8,
Most of you graduates have a very definite idea of what
you want to accomplish in life. Try to keep your ideals strong,
your courage high, your hearts young.
You'll have temporary setbacks-many OF them. They
are sent to develop your character and brain, much like
muscles in a gymnasium. Hew to the line. Keep headed for
your goal. Don't let any circumstance or any person dis.
courage you from your original purpose.
Above all, ignore the cynics. All of them are failures Of
one degree or another. That's what made them into faiurssy
-cynicism, the curdled philosophy of a life that really is
well forth living if we are worthy of living.
Guard your high motives. The world never has enough
of ideals. AT the end of the battle you will know that ideals
are fed to humanity from only two sources-very old age,
just finishing the fight and youth, the newcomer, the
reenforcements for the weakening line of progress.

During the hustle of the last decade.
the Federal Reserve Banks have
built up valuable facilities for per-
forming important services to their
members. These fall into three prin-
cipal groups. First, the collection

ton, and third, the communication
function.

been acting as collection agencies for
the member banks, collecting notes,
drafts, bills, etc, without charge OF

transfers of funds for member banks,
All these valuable services are per.
formed without charge to the banks,
