Helen finished telling her of the won

starting in business himself. "He is
likeable chap" Aunt Emmy continued,
"and very pleasant at parties and
such. but II he really were q good

SO much faster. What's the use Of
being just clerk il he has real abil-

THAT he has so much ability re.

Emmy. "If he were as competent as
he has led you people to believe he is

OF the profit for doing 1t. Before your
mother goes ahead she should consult
her bank about making such a move"
II don't see why. Aunty. The money
is hers"
"Yes. but she did not earn 1t. She
inherited it and doubt II she has any
real sense of its value. Her bankers
know her financial situation and they
can advise her"
well, I'll tell mother, but don't
think she will like It," said Helen.
The next day Helen's mother came
to see Aunt Emmy.
II took your advice, Emmy" she
said. "and called on Mr.. Allen at the
bank Ind told him about what want
ed to do for Clarence. Mr.. Allen made
a lot Of things clear to me. First Of
all he showed me that l am not rich
enough to take unnecessary chances.
He said practically what you told
Helen-that an able man can get busi
ness backing in strictly business way
and he pointed out that my first duty
was to my own home. and that must
consider those girls Of mine before
anyone else. OF course, that Clarence
might not succeed never entered my
head. But Mr.. Allen pointed out that
possibility. There are 10 many angles
to new business that really didn't
know about. Mr.. Allen was SO nice
about 1t. He asked me to come in
again whenever l was puzzled about
money affairs"
"Well. don't forget that next time
you want to use any Of your capital.
II more people would go to their banks
for advice there would be far less
money troubles in the world" advised

1t Isn't Your Town-Ifs You
***a****+*+%++4

II you want to have the kind of home
town
Like the kind of town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes In a grip
And start on a long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left behind.
For there's nothing that's really new.
It's knock at yourself when you
knock your town;
1t isn't the town-it's YOU
You wouldn't expect, II you mined your
soil,
Bumper crops that you used to gst:
Nor aught but runts from feeding
stunts;
Nor payments without a debt
One gets returns from what he earns,
Something must first be due.
If your town doesn't pay look at It
this way,
1t isn't the town-it's you.
Real towns are not made BY men
afraid
That others will get ahead.
W hen every one works and nobody
shirks.
You can raise a town from the dead,
And IL. while you make your personal
stake,
Your neighbors can make one, too,
Your town will be what you want IL
to be;
It isn't the town-its you.

Proper BretDing Of Tea
Z sso Told by Chinese Poet

High tea would have been deemed
an abomination by the Chinese poet Lu
Wuh, who held that no food should bs
taken in conjunction with the most DE-
licious of all beverages. Lu Wun
maintained that only three ingredients
are necessary for its decoction-tea,
water and salt-but each should DO
selected with care
1.-THE leaves Of the tea plant must
have creases like the leathern boot Of
a Tartar horseman, must curl ike the
dewlap Of a mighty bullock; must un-
fold like the mist rising out OF "a.
vine, must CLEAN like lake touched
by zephyr; and be wet and soft Ike
fine earth newly swept by rain" Ac-
cording to this authority mountain
spring furnished the best water foH
tea making, with river water and or
dinary spring water next in order Of
excellence.
"There are three stages of boiling"
Lu Wuh goes on to Say. 1.-THE first
boil Is when the little bubbles like the
eve of fishes swim on the surface.
The second boil is when the bubbles
are like crystal beads rolling in foun-
tain, The third boil is when the BILL
lows surge wildly in the kettle"
Salt is put in the first boil, tea In
the second boil; at the third a dipper-
full of cold water Is poured into the
kettle to settle the tea and revive "the
youth of the water" after which the
decoction is poured into cups and

is the most popular. White volle or

are reversed. and stunning things In

BANkER-FARMER
COOPERATION
Many Conferences and Practical
Measures Are Bettering
Farm Situation From
Ground Up.

The merits of intermediate and
longtime agricultural credit now
available, organization and co-opera-
ton of producers for balanced pro-
duction, and orderly marketing are
the chief topics of discussion at many
banker-farmer conferences being held
in various parts of the country with
the assistance CT tt American Bank
ers Association.
At a Texas Agricultural College
meeting representatives of agricul-
tural and livestock associations
agreed that there is no such thing as
over-production, and that every in
crease in production should raise the
standard of living higher. They saw
need for the organization of producers
for balanced production and orderly
marketing to relieve the stress in
agriculture, with credit provided of
sufficient time to cover farm and
ranch turnover
Legislation Not Wanted
Further legislative action was not
considered appropriate. In fact. there
was actual opposition to further gov
ernment action to assist in economic
adjustment, everyone there being in
complete accord that conditions were
propitious as far as existing lnstitu-
tions were concerned to raise the
farmer and stoekman to 4 proper
economic place in the business world.
The establishment of the Inter
mediate Credit Bank was declared to
be the last step In the provision Of
necessary agencies Of credit. while
sufficient opportunity for cooperation
exists in present organizations.
The Agricultural Commission Of the
American Bankers Association was
described as a means of cooperation
between bankers and farmers and fts
work explained. In bringing bankers
in more intimate touch with the
actual problems Of the farm to de-
velop increased helpfulness.

r. W. Wilson, besides being a

the Piggly-Wiggly stores at Fort

taken over. They are in the, vicinity
Of the San Patricio, FL Salvador. La
Cubierta and other productive mines.
The company is under the direction
of Henry Biekofsky.
Henry F.. Peimbert of Pedricena has
located four claims near the Guard
arraya mines in the San Lorenzo
mountains for Severino Ceniceros.
The ores, occurring in a purely lime
formation. are of silver and lead.
Shipments from this camp are being
made to the Asarco smelter near
Velardena.

titled the Abundancia. comprises seven
claims and lies near the old Nina

produced ores of gold, silver and lead.
The other group, named Nina de Guz-

Both of these properties will be ex.

Some of the mining districts
throughout the state are still being
