More newspaper advertising by
banks as business builder was
| strongly urged at the recent conven-
ton of the American Bankers Asso.
citation by w. R. Morehouse of the or
ganization's Savings Bank Division.
7 He backed up his plea with definite
action to stimulate advertising by
savings banks by calling the attention
of the members to prepared news
paper advertising service developed
by his division comprising copy to
meet their requirements for a years
advertising schedule.
ut is my firm conviction that banks
can use newspaper advertising with
great success" Mr.. Morehouse said
their use as medium the people of a
whole community may be reached in
single day. Because q bank cannot
directly trace large volume of new
business to newspaper advertising
does not prove that the medium is in
effective as business-builder.
"The fact that there are certain
kinds Of newspaper advertising which
do not produce good results ought not
to brand the medium as ineffective,
any more than the fact that because
certain booklet or certain buiness-
building letter fails to pull would war
rant you in branding all booklets and
all letters as non-productive mediums.
How to Advertise
Newspaper advertising must be at
tractive and easily read II 1t Is to
produce good results If the subject
presented is not to the point, is too
deeply involved for the average mind
to grasp readily, is too full of big and
uncommon words, it Is only natural
that 1t will not be read. If bank adj
vertising Is to accomplish it's purpose
1t must be very simple.
DISCUSS only the subjects which
will make 1t easy for the public to
patronize your bank. Advertise your
bank, its financial stability, its officers,
directors and stockholders and you
will build prestige and strengthen pub
lie confidence in your institution.

1t has been my experience that the

HOW TO CATCH FAKE
STOCK statesmen

Some state bankers associations
are distributing an investors ques-
tionnaire with the idea of protecting
purchasers of securities from fake
stock statesmen.
whenever you are solicited to pur-
chase stock or other securities use this
questionable before investing any OF
your funds" says one of these. THE
QUESTIONABLE was compiled to protect
the small investor and to emphasize
the necessity of Investigating thor
oughly every investment proposition
before placing any money therein.
When you have been furnished with
the information called for in this
QUESTIONABLE, take 1t to any one Of
the banking institutions in your COM
munity and get its opinion of the stock
offered. If the stock salesman refuses
to fill out this QUESTIONABLE, have
nothing more to do with his PROPOSE
ton, as it is evident that he is foster
ing a fraudulent promotion"

Low Rates East
Causing Heavy
S. P. Bookings

Reduced round trip rates to the
Atlantic Coast, which will become
effective on the Southern Pacific
lines May 10, have ceased heavy
bookings from California of people
who will revisit their former homes
in the East this summer, according
to C. w. Runge, district freight and
passenger agent of the company.
Because of the heavy traffic insur
ed by advance orders, Mr.. Runge
says it will be necessary to operate
several standard trains in two or
more sections for few weeks.
Under the schedules published by
the company, it is possible for peo-
pie in California to make a trip to
New York City and return for
$147. 40. Boston, Washington, Bait.
imore, Philadelphia and other coast
cities may be reached at rates vary
ing from So below this figure to $40
above it. Middle West cities natur-
ally carry much lower rates.
Boat Trip Included
When it is considered that passen-
gers have the option of several
routes, including that to New Or
leans and thence by boat to New
York, these fares are very low. The
New Orleans route enables passen-
gers to take the trip from that city
to New York by boat at no extra
charge. Meals and berth on the
boat are included in the price of the
ticket.
Several Imperial Valley people
made this trip last year, and it is
expected that the number will be
much larger this year.
Detailed information on the round
trip summer fares may be obtained
from any of the company's agents.

With the vacation season comes
the forest fire, the great menace of
this section, which is at once the
nation s playground and lumber
yard. Careless smokers, campers
and squatters cause losses estimated
at hundreds of thousands of dollars.

due directly to the carelessness of
smokers, 5s2 to other agencies of
man. Tightening caused 479, or
about 35 per cent. Property valued
at 81 ,951 900 was destroyed in the
state of Washington last season by
forest fire. In the two states of
Oregon and Washington such fires
took a toll of $2,435 ,466 in damage,
in spite of over a million dollars
spent to prevent such losses.
The forests of the United States

women who may be freed.
Negotiations are under way be.
tween the Shantung provisional gov
crnment and the chiefs of the kid
uapers through which it is hoped
here release of all the captives may
be effected within "a hours.
The story of the first demand for
a million dollars ransom has now
been clarified:
The brigands communicated with
local officials near Lin Cheng, who
forwarded the demand to the Pekin
government where it was received
b y communications ministry.
Through this government depart
ment foreign legations learned of it.
Legations Would Aid
Immediately an ultimatum de-
manding release of the captives was
served on the government. The le-
cations expressed determination to
free the prisoners even if compelled,
themselves, to advance the money
as "a loan. so China could pay the
ransom.
1t was feared, however, petty of
ficials of the Chinese government
might conniYe with the bandits and
increase the amount if the money
was promptly put up by foreign le-
cations. Hence the foreign ministers
informed the government it must be
strictly China S money from which
the ransom was to be paid
Government funds exceeding "a
million dollars intended for salaries
of public employees and the army,
