DEPOSITORS TO SHARE BANKS
 DIVIDENDS

CLEVELAND, Feb. 19.-Depositors share in the profits of the ten CO., operative banks situated in different sections of this country controlled and operated by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers while dividends to stockholdes are strictly limited, according to a statement issued to- day by Warren s. Stone, president of the Brotherhood and also president of the parent institution of the or ganization, the Cleveland bank.
 In addition to the ten banks al ready organized and doing flour ishing business, six other banks are in process of organization, including the Empire Trust Company of New York, of which the Brotherhood has recently purchased Ca considerable in terest," according to Leroy W. Bald win, president of the Empire Trust Company.
 In explaining the meaning of the cooperative bank, MT. Stone says:
 "The desire for profit shall be sup planted by the motive of service in handling the peoples money. The last report of the Comptroller of the Currency shows that nearly S13 out of every $14 constituting the $54,- 913,O0O,OOO banking resources of the country were contributed by deposl- tors. They are the customers who make the prosperity of the bank They have a right to share in that propserity. For this reason cooper ative banks strictly limit the divi- dend that can be paid to sharehcld- CTS, and after setting aside the necessary reserve, distribute their surplus earnings proportionately among their depositors.
 Furthermore since the great ma jority of depositors are farmers and wage earners, the policy of the CO., operative bank is to use their de- posits to promote their prosperity in common with that of the whole business comunity. In other words, the farmers marketing associations and the workers cooperative organ izations get square deal it the cooperative banks, just as do the business men who need credit for productive purposes There are no insiders, no favorites to play, no utilization of the peoples money to underwrite speculative enterprises.
 1.-TWO years ago there was not a single cooperative bank in the United States. Today there are ten in successful operation and six more now organizing. Within the space of 26 months the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers Bank has in creased resources from $653,O00 to S19,oOO,OOO
 Less than IA per cent of the deposits in the Brotherhood banks are from members of labor organ izations."
 The Cleveland Brotherhood Bank is believed to be the first bank in this country to declare a cooperative dividend to the depositors. One half of one per cent cooperative divi dends have been announced to de- positors every six months since the bank was organized 26 months ago. four such dividends having been paid. These dividends, compounded semi-annually, are in addition to the regular four per cent interest paid depositors, compounded quarterly.

And yet at times,

"He smokes pipe

And stretches to the wall.
But drops his ashes

And makes no dirt at all.
IF he's not fed
He catches cold
And has an awful chill.

And save a doctor bill.

As steady as

Yet if you are

| must say, my dear sister, that
you have succeeded in making a
mess of things generally. After that
terrible cable, which pretty nearly

prove perfectly adequate to cope
with the matter, but he also thought
it was no credit to me to be efficient
in that direction. That is another
silly mans notion.
The pearls are real, my dear, but
of course this is not news to you.
Karl has been collecting them for
you ever since he can remember. Do
you want me to believe you never
