Interest

s. pies State Bank withdrew
from the Clearing House, Nov. l.
The association rule limiting the
rate of interest on savings deposits
caused the designations.
The question Of interest rates on
havings deposits is important to
many frugal persons, To them a
dollar. not drawing interest, is
Stacker.
And a savings account permits
their dollars to associate with secur-
ity and interest in congenial com
partnership.
Interest for the use of money is so
customary now that one thinks Of
the practice as always existing. The
Babylonians and Egyptians knew
and used the device. But there was
time III the middle ages that the
Christian church forbade it. Some
sects do yet.
Wealth during those dark cen
turtles dwindled instead Of increased
because Of the ban. And when a
gay Antonio found himself pinched
for funds he visited Shylock.
For Shylock's law, while it pro
hibited him lending money to a
brother for interest. didn't forbid
exacting II from a stranger. He fol
lowed his statute. Impecunious Cen
tile nOblemen felt the steel in those
days.
But now in a more enlightened age
interest is welcomed in the best of
families. For the dollar hard at
work in shirt sleeves makes more
wealth.
