Te just supposing. Before the
ar, a dollar belonging to an en-
ployee and a dollar belonging TO
the employer were seldom on
speaking terms. They represent
ed two entirely different kinds of
money III had no association with
each other on the employers books,
ror ever combined for team work.
Now in some cities, instead Of
asking employees to congregate
around the pay window and wait
their turn, they may open a check
ing account at any bank selected
by themselves, and the company
deposits wages each week to the
employees credit in his own bank.
The employee then pays household
bills by check, draws out whatever
cash is needed and leaves the bal
ance in the bank as savings. This
method eliminates the scramble
for the money earned and puts the
employee in the thrift class. The
& idea is to get everybody to pat
ronize home industries and home
institutions.
Right here in Americas we have
the good fortune to have three
mighty good banks and the folks
hereabout ought to use them more
than they do as savings institu-
tions. In the small towns around
Americas our banks have recently
made strong statements showing
their condition. These institutions
come in mighty handy for check
purposes to keep household ac-
count straight, but as saving in
stitutions they are far safer than
money stored away in old places
which may be swept away in
night by the ravages of fire, for in
all such cases reported, this mon
ey represents savings of a life

ment was transmitted to the council
by Earl Balfour, who presented Eng
lands claim to the Mosul Oil fields
and formally requested the league to
intervene in Britatn's behalf.

Turks have refused so far to accept
the allies peace terms. He asked
that the\ League OF Nations take up
the Near East problem actively" to
prevent a recurrence Of hostilities
between Turkey and Greece.
Rene ViViani, former French pre-
mier and presiding officer in the
council meeting. replied that the
Near East peace conference Is not
yet completed and that there is
still hope for a happy solution" He
continued:

worlds peace not be disturbed, but
