In which there Is no visible effort to
live up to community standards OF
kitchen management and household
supervision. The result Is that tray-
elers, whether drumming" for mer-
camille establishments or touring for
pleasure, are little attracted to small
town hotels. Small towns and cities
cannot compete with large cities In the
size and the gilded splendor Of their
hotels. There should be no effort In
that direction. Better modest hotel,
modestly equipped, and a table the
guest will remember and compliment,
than a pretentious hotel built at ruin

Some people think that to incur
debt at the bank is unwise. or re-
Election on their business standing
This is not the case where the debt
is contracted for legitimate business
purposes. mourning debt to live be-
yond ones income is something no
thrifty person would do. and careless
use OF credit leads to extravaganza
and disaster. but wise borrowing Is
an encouragement to thrift and In
dustry.
The first junction Of the banker Is
to encourage industry and thrift SO
that a large fund of bank deposits
may be accumulated. This fund Is
often Iikened to a reservoir in whcih
water is accumulated for community
needs. The banker then loans from
this fund to those conducting the
business of the community.
The banker bases credit on what
are known as the three C's of credit
Character, Capacity and Capital.
Character Is an imperative business
qualification. Allied with character
is Capacity. Before making loan a
banker takes into consideration the
capacity of the applicant-that is. his
ability to earn through his honesty
and his industry. Capital Is q mans
worth in money. merchandise, stocks
and bonds or lands. which may be
given as collateral In security OF
loan to make It safe.
Let us consider the business trans
actions of Mr.. Smith, the storekeep-
er. He finds. with his business in
creasing. that he needs larger 7tock
of goods. Also. come Of his custom
ers do not pay cash, and their ac-
counts must be carried until pay
day" He must have more money for
his business. so he goes to his banker
for advice. The banker asks Mr..
Smith to submit q statement or his
business, showing what he owns and
what he owes. He knows Smiths
character and responsibility from his
observation OF his dealings and from
the confidence that people have in
him. II he finds Mr.. Smiths state
ment, and the progress he is making.
satisfactory he will be glad to con-
slider the best method Of loaning him
the needed funds.
How Money IL Loaned
Money is loaned by banks on
straight notes, on Endorsed notes. on
collateral notes, on bills receivable
and on trade acceLtances. Mr..
Smith may be told by the banker
that. because he has sufficient money
In his business and manages 1t well,
the bank will extend him credit with
out his putting up any security be-
yond his own word of honor, EVIL
denced by his note.
Let us say that Mr.. Smith needs
maximum amount OF $1,000 during
his busiest season and that the bank
has consented to grant him such a
cline of credit" Mr. Smith could
come to the bank and make out
note for any portion all of this
amount for any time up to six months.
To pay some bills he needs, say,
$500. He estimates that within sixty
days he will receive from his charge
customers enough money to repay
this amount. He therefore makes a
sixty day note, which tie banker
discounts" at the prevailing rate of
interest, let US say per cent. and
places the proceeds to Mr.. Smiths
credit. How much does he credit to
Mr. Smiths account? Six per cent
on $500 for sixty days is SIS. This

time the note is made. 1t being the
interest which he charges Mr. Smith

THE SPIRIT OF THE COMMONS
BY DR.. Frank Crane

tn HERE have been learned men and un-
doubted saints on earth and in every
age,rhut:that which distinguishes this
from all foregoing ages is the movement to
popularize science and sanctity
The d. of the esoteric has passed. If any
man has something to say he is expected to
say it in term Understandable by the peo-
pie; and what he can not say in this manner
we suspect he does not know
To suppose democracy to be mere polit-
ical affair is to mistake its wide bearing for
1t lays its strong hand also on science, let
ters and giOn.
The saint and the savant, in former time
had a contempt for 1.-The world" They were
offended when the common people under
stood them. Glass aristocracy and superior
soul claptrap was rife in the church and the
university as it was in court.
The most striking trait of the twentieth
century is the awakening of the human race
to, self-consciousness. A sonnet by Thomas
Wade runs
There is might dawnng on the earth
Of human glory; dreams unknown before
Till the minds boundless world: the deep
drawn lore,
But late hidden fount, at which few
Quafed and were glad, is now flowing river
Which parched nations may approach and
view~
Kneel down and drink"
The real progress of the world is the prog
ress of the masses, not of the few. The men
of genius who are writing today are doing
no better work than. Homer or Plato or
Horace, The improvement has been in the
readers.
Evolution during the period covered by
human history has not been marked so much
producing
but as it has by the slow rising of the level
of the commons. 1t is the gradual advance
ment Of the common "eople and the asser-
| ton of their rights and improvement in in
| telligence and culture that mark the onward
sweep of humanity
