STRAIGHT TALKS
WITH AUNT EMMY
ON HOW NOT TO GET RICH

"Oh, Aunt Emmy" cried Helen,
rushing in and kissing Aunt Emmy,
'Tve got a wonderful chance to get
rich. The incest man told me about
a patent beehive that will double my
money in a year! With it bees will
make two or three times as much
honey. If buy 1t right away l can
make ever SO much money, for the
stock is selling at fifty cents and it's
going to par soon, whatever that is,
! so I'll have coolies of money. Oh,
| Aunty, won't it be lovely? You and
| can go to Europe and"
Hold on a minute, Helen" begged
| Aunt Emmy; would you really let
this man have your money for a fool
thing like that?"
"Why, Aunty, I'm sure it is all
right! He gave me the loveliest
booklet brought it along. You are
so suspicious, Aunty," she reproached.
Suspicious, am I! That $4,000 is
the only money you ever had or ever
expect to have except what you earn
as a teacher. You can't afford to
throw it away Sit right down and
write to your bank for Information
about that beehive. Tell them you
are thinking of investing your $4,000,
and send them the booklet"
"But, Aunty, that would take sew
eral days, and the man said not to
wait" Helen protested.
IF people would wait a while be-
fore investing, there would be far
less failures in the world. You will
hear from the bank soon enough.
Promise"
81 suppose I'll have to-" agreed
Helen, crestfallen, "but I'm sure the
old bank doesn't want to be bothered
with poor little me"
When Helen came to see Aunt EN-
my again she looked serious. Aunt
Emmy guessed that her get-rich-quick
bubble had burst.
Look, Aunty," she said, handing
over a letter from the bank that gave
a report on the patent beehive. The
letter said that the men engaged in
the enterprise were not trustworthy.
It invited Helen to consult with the
bank about her investment.
"You were right, Aunty," said
Helen. 81 saw MI. Hitchcock there.
He told me a lot about investments
and suggested some safe ones. |
never understood the banks value be-
fore. II it had not been for you and
the bank I should not have a cent to-
day. I'll never do a thing with money
I ask the bank first. I felt |
was with friends, Aunty."
"You were, my dear" said Aunt
Emmy, smiling.-ANNE B. AYMES.

A Chance to Shine

TTHE young man Of today need
u not leave che farm for a ca
reer. True, present conditions are
not conducive to large financial
returns, but these conditions will
undoubtedly change. Those who
are in position to know think that
we have reached the low ebb and
now farm products are on the up
grade.
We have only begun to solve u
agricultural problems. There is a
large unexplored field ahead Of US.
The young man. with brains and
a sympathetic heart can find ample
opportunities for making a name
for himself on the farm.
In addressing a national group
Of young people recently, President
Head, of the American Bankers
Association, said he believes the
opportunities for buking a name
as a leader tn agriculture are
greater then making q name in
the position of a. Congressman.
He thinks the day is coming when
a man shall take pride in saying,
II am an American farmer"
Any young nan who has a lik-
ing for things rural can we'll af-
ford to consider preparing himself
to become a good farmer, for after
he has made a success of his farm,
he will find abundant opportunity
for leadership in his community
Banker-Farmer.

of the AUSllSoA
people. In fact, 1 believe that sucf
indifference does not exist The ma
ton is observing with deep interest,"
the progress of events abroad ana mas
given many evidences of a readiness
to aid In restoring normal conditions
there whenever it is seen that a SUIT
able opportunity is afforded.
Our people have naturally been re-
luctant to act while the European ma
tons still fail to display the Will TO
accept the only terms on which re-
Mobilization is possible, and to apah-
don their mutual hatreds and as
trusts, their persistence in prepara-
ton for further warfare, and thelr
destructive political and hnanclai
policies. Such policies have so weak
ened the credit of some OF the COL
tiuental nations that the task OF AID
Ing them seems futile until 1t is clear
hat these policies are ~discredited n
disowned by them.
Although 1t seems clear from the
record of recent years that America
more perhaps than any other country,
has been and will continue to be able
to adjust itself without serious dis
aster to the conditions created by
European depression, and has IN It's
own yast domestic market and in
other non-European markets an out
let for its products adequate to main
tain a fair degree of national pros
perity, the fact remains that 1T is very
definitely to the selfish interests OF
the United States to have Great Brit
ain and the European continental
countries regain their normal pros
perity at the earliest possible date.
They normally absorbed between 80
and 10 per zen of American exports,
but recently have been taking less
than so per cent.
Moreover, the rich contribution
which Europe has made in the past
to the u%pbuildins of other parts of
the world, including the United
States, would seem to create a genu-
inc obligation upon other countries
to come to its aid in the present pc
Rod of difficulty. General w~ell-being
throughout the entire world will be
diminished to a degree as long as
Europe is unable to play its part in
production and consumption of valu-
able products. 1t possesses vast re
sources of skill and equipment for the
production of useful commodities in
demand by all nations, and loss CON
tinues while these resources are limit
ed in their use by poverty and by ad-
verse political and social conditions.
That the share of the United States
in this loss is relatively small should
not preclude an active interest in
every promising effort that may be
made to restore the European nations
to economic and financial health.

CITIZEN PROTESTS
RUBBISH COLLECTION
DURING BUSY HOURS

"whose fault is it,? queries an Au-
gusta citizen whose interest in civic
betterment and improvement is we'll
known. that rubbish placed in the
barrels and containers on the sidewalk
curb on Water street isn't collected by
the city teams until 10 o'clock in the
forenoon, so that electric cars have to
wait while the rubbish teams do their
work?
"Passersby have to choke and hide
their heads in the dust and dirt that
flies about as the rubbish chew empties
the containers into the big open carts.
and front entrances Of places OF busi-
ness are generally cluttered."
The point which was raised by the
query Is one which might we'll receive
the attention Of the city fathers" and
a remedying of the conditions which
were pointed out last Saturday morn
ing would do much toward making the
Capital City more attractive to tourists
and to those from the surrounding ter
ritory who come here to do their mar
keting.
This rubbish collecting is necessari-
ly dirty and more or less unsanitary
and certainly unsightly piece of work,
which in most cities is carried out dur
ing the night or early morning hours.
when the places of business are closed
and traffic is at it's lowest ebb. 1t is
understood that in Augusta most of the
storekeepers place their rubbish in re-
ceptacles for collection on the curb the
night before. There are many who will
agree with the citizen who protested
conditions. that this collection could be
carried out great deal more expedi-
tiously and with considerable less UNI
pleasantness before the opening hour
for business in the morning.

deadlock that has developed at the
London conference over the question
of tn, security for German loan
is an occasion for regret but not for
surprise. The financial view of the
matter Is that a German loan can
not be sold unless ample safeguards
are provided-that investors, in 9TH
er words, will be exacting.
Reports from domestic industry
suggested that the effects of the
burst Of over-production early In
the year were being overcome. In
the steel trade, for example, stocks
in consumers hands were reported
to be reduced to small proportions,
with production clearly being ad-
justed to consumption. Output was
at approximately 40 percent capacity
and new buying was perhaps 10 per-
cent small. The outlook for steel
now depends on developments in the
consuming industry. Consumption
admittedly is low and expectations
of improvement are moderate. In
stances of poor earnings and reduced
dividend distributions came to light
during the week. These were &C
cepted as natural consequences OF
che Industrial reaction that occurred
in the second quarter of the year.
One of the most encouraging de-
velopments Of the week was the re-
port of a steady increase in employ
ment at Detroit and other automo-
bile centers.
