Three Meetings
BY DR.. Barker
While in Valley
CONTINUED from page ~

lsver talk on - Fathers Rcspon-
Sibility to His Son.
For the benefit Of the young pco.
pie of the county, the clubs have
arranged to have DR.. Barker speak
on How to Make the Most Out OF
Life,' at the high school in this
city. Students from CaleXico, Holt
vile and Imperial high schools will
gather with those of Central Unron
in the morning.
Plans first made called for hold
ing this big gathering III Calexico,
but due TO the fact that this would
necessitate the transportation of
some $50 local students to that city
as against bringing the l40 from Ca
lcxico here, and also because Of the
lack of sufficient auditorium IA
cilities, the Calexico club courteous
lv waived their claim to have DR..
Barker speak in that city.
Widely Noted Leader
In speaking today of DIR. Barker =
popularity as lecturer, MIR. Ander-
son declared that htere was a regu-
lar scramble' at the international
Rotary convention in st. Louis to
secure DR.. Barker rs speaker. One
of the members of the Brawlcy
Rotary club who has heard DR.. Bark
er talk was so profoundly impressed
with the speaker that he had de-
cided to bring the noted man to
Brawley at his personal expense, to
address that club. 1t was with
genuine reluctance, Mr.. Anderson
said, that this enthusiast gave up his
plan so that the three clubs might
unite in the honor Of bringing DR..
Barker here.
For the past two years, DR.. Bark
or has been devoting practically all
of his time to speaking for the Rotary,
clubs. He has however at various
times spoken for Chambers Of Com
mercc, the knights of Columbus, \.
NJ. G. As and other organizations,
as well as spending considerable
time on the Redpath Chautauqua
platform.
DR.. Barker was health advisor to
William II. Taft during his four
years term as president of the
United States, and holds university
degrees as doctor of hygiene and
physical culture. lie Is II splendid
speaker with 4 personality which
makes al who hear him once clainor
to hear him again and again. Inn
perial Valley is extremely fortunate
to be able to have one day of the
doctors week in California at their
disposal, and it Is anticipated that
large crowds of men and women will
gather to hear him.

His First Trip to Yuma
Asked what he though Of Imperial
Valley, the governor replied that he
has been here several times, and
could see considerable Improvement
in valley affairs within the last few
wears. lie said he has never been
over the FL CentrO-luma road and
has been anxious to make the trip
for some time, believing this to be
an important section of the state
highway system.
Asked if he wished to have any
public or. semi-public meeting to-
night, the governor replied that he
believed he would be rather tired
after-the Yuma trip, and though he
would be glad to meet any local peo-
pie, he did not wish any elaborate
plans made. Upon the suggestion Of
Commissioner Edwards, the governor
decided to change from the blue
suit he was wearing, to n gray one,
as the latter would not show the de-
sert dust upon arriving in Yuma,
adding that it was up to him, as
governor of the state, to make 4
good impression upon Arizona.
The governor chatted freely with
local citizens who called to pay their
respects. Among them were Charles
f. Scott, president of tho Chamber
of Commerce, who was member of
the state Legislature when the GOV.
ernor was state treasurer, and has a
personal acquaintance with him. j.

What Do the Bankers Mean,'
Eighteen Billion Dollars in
the Savings Bank?
BY JOHN LAKEWOOD

BY JOHN
The bankers keep telling us that the
savings accounts of the American PEG
pie total eighteen billion dollars.
asked a dozen people what hat meant
to them. Most of them seemed to see
visions of endless stacks of coins and
bales of currency slowed away in the
vaults of fine looking granite bank
buildings.
Now, as a matter of fact, there is
less than nine billion dollars worth
Of money in the country all told. in
| GLIDING gold, silver, nickel and paper
money Of all kinds. That is less than
half the eighteen billion. Therefore
| there must be something wrong with
| the vision of eighteen billion dollars
in stacks and bales in the bank vaults.
More than that, there probably is not
more than one dollar for every twenty
of that eighteen billion actually in
the savings bank.
But the eighteen billion in savings
bank is no myth just the same. Sup
pose all the savings depositors could
demand all their money all at once,
and that they insisted on immediate
settlement one way or another when
they found they could not get it all
in cash. What would happen would
be that they would come into posses
sion chiefly of bonds-Government,
state and municipal bonds and the
best railroad, equipment, public util-
ity and other corporation bonds. The
savings depositors are really the own
ers of all this vast real wealth.
What the bankers really mean,
therefore, is that the savings deposit
ors, so far as money is concerned,
have deposited eighteen billion dol
lars more than they have drawn out
and therefore have credit for that
much in their savings accounts. The
dollars, themselves, that they handed
in, have flowed right on through n
banks-have been sent out to buy the
bonds. That is, the money deposits
have been used in behalf of the
depositors to buy the safest forms OF
investments. When a man buys a
bond, he really rents his money out
puts it to work to arm him more
money. The savings banks have done
this for their depositors.
So the picture of idle piles of money
is all wrong. Even a picture OF piles
bonds is wrong if it stops at that
The bonds represent two things.
First, since they are readily saleable
for cash, they mean that any 1nd1v1d-
ual can get his savings out again i n
the form of money within a reasonable
Secondly, and more important,
behind those bonds loom up the rail-
roads, factories, businesses and public
works that the money invested In
them set going for the benefit OF
everyone, including the deposftors
themselves. Saving, therefore, is not
merely accommodating money-it is ac-
cumulating real wealth. The money
on like water to turn other
Wheels-the real wealth and savings
If the country are the accumulated
'actories and other enterprises evil
fenced by the bonds.
Therefore the true picture OF what
he bankers mean when they say the
accounts of the American peo-
lie total eighteen billion dollars, In
tead of piles Of money in vaults,
would be factories, railroads and pub
ic works in action
