One hundred years ago the total
national wealth was less than a bill
today the national wealth exceeds 800
billion dollars an average of almost
$4,000 per capita. In 1921 there were
ten savings banks with 1885 de-
positors, with $1,138,00O on deposit;
one hundred years later-more than
thirty million depositors had more
than SIS 100000 savings deposits.

One hundred years ago there were
NO railroads, no automobiles, no air.

no telegraph lines, no cables. There
was no gasoline, no kerosene.

Americas Resources Today
We have today 110,OOO,OOO people.
Our total bank deposits aggregate
approximately 40 billion dollars.
Outstanding life insurance amounts
to more than 20 billion dollars. Our
500 million acres Of improved farm
lands are valued at n billion dollars.
We have wealth untold in our forests,
In our mines of iron and coal. We
have more than 25O,00O miles OF rail-
road with which to transport our
selves and our articles of commerce.;
I'VE have more than 100000 miles of
commercial telegraph lines and $780,

The banker is business man but,
at the same time, he is public
servant. He manages his institution
to earn dividends for it's stockholders,
but it has now come to be regarded
as his duty to give sound advice and
perform many services which result
in no direct addition to his earnings
account. He accepts the deposits of
the parents for the account Of the
baby when it is born. He keeps the
funds and invests them as the child
grows. He advises the young man
when, in leaving school, he enters
business. His counsel is given with
financial assistance as the business
develops. When his client retires
from it's management he acts as
trustee in handling his investments
and finally upon the clients death,

people together by ties of common
knowledge and for a common pur-
pose. We have resources of labor SO
abundant that we have placed an ar
tifcial check upon immigration.
These things are our material re-
sources. They constitute the basic
material element but the real
foundation of our progress is not ma
terial It is that other, more valuable
resource-the capacity and character
of our people. To that we owe the
discovery and development of our
natural resources, their use and their
conservation; to that we owe the es-
tabIishment and development of a
nation founded on ideals of equal
rights, ideals of equal opportunity,
ideals of equal responsibility, which
remain today untarnished, which now
shine forth with greater luster than
ever before.
The Character Of Our People
From it have come the patience and
the wisdom which have reconciled
effective authority and adequate lib
erty. From it has come the tolerance
which has preserved freedom of
speech, of press and of pulpit From
it has come the foresight which es-
tablished free public schools. From
it has come the courage which COM
manded adherence TO principle at the
cost of selfish gain, even at the cost
Of life itself. From it has come the
respect for the rights and privileges
of ones fellow man which has found
expression in guarantees of equal rep
resentation and universal suffrage.
The character of our people is a
spring which has never run dry. It
has had it's source ever and always
in the stern and firm faith of the
Pilgrim fathers-a political faith
based upon and grounded in the
tenets of the Christian religion De-
spite every other influence, the
strong and steady current of the Pill
grim's faith has persisted through
generation after generation.
1t is this invaluable resource-the
capacity and character of our people
that has made America great in the
past, that will make America greater
and more powerful in the future. AS
long as we uphold our established
standards of belief and conduct, we
need have no fear for the future Of
America.

Hand-to-Hand Struggle

A city cousin who had never been
on fishing and camping trip came
out to his uncle's farm equipped with
steel rod, reel, silk line and other fan
cy equipment. After the first hour of
fishing in the old mud creek he hook
ed small catfish. Desperately he
reeled it in until the tiny fish's nose
was damned up against the end of the
rod.
What shall do with it now? he ask
ed Cousin John.
Surveying the catch in all serious
ness, John said: Climb out on the pole
and stab it with that new hunters
knife of yours.
