Progress Too
Fast for This
St. Paul Man

Progress, as it has progressed in
the last 10 years, does not appeal to
at least one ST. Paul man.
He is the author of the following
New Years greeting, received today
by the ST. Paul Association.
1t reads:
If | remember correctly, 20 years
ago eggs were 10 cents dozen; milk
was delivered out of a can at five
cents quart; the butcher gave away
liver; the hired girl received dollar
week and did the washin'; women
did not powder or paint lin public)
play poker or shake the shimmie, and
they were taught to cook at the age
of three
"Men wore whiskers and boots,
chewed tobacco, spit en- the side
walks and cussed. Laoorers worked
10 hours a day and never went on
strike. No tips We're given to wait
ers and the hat-check CRATER was
unknown
No one was ever operated on for
appendicitis; microbes were unheard
of; folks lived to good old age and
every year walked miles to wish their
friends

TODAY. YOU KNOW.

Everybody uses bottled pasteruized
milk; plays the piano with his feet;
goes to see Charlie Chaplin; smokes
cigarets; drinks hair tonic; blames
the H. C. of L. on the Democrats;
never goes to bed the same day he
gets UP and thinks hes having a

These are days of suffragetting,

you think life is worth living, / wish
you

Less have nozzer," Wordsworth
must have said to himself, strug-
Cling for expression and finished off
with these fuddled lines:
To me the meanest flower that
blows can give
Thoughts that do often lie too
deep for tears.
We know now what that "frst fine
careless rapture" of Browning came
fron-if indeed Browning wrote any
thing Mr.. barrow regards as liter
allure. "Prospice" came out Of a
bottle-one can see that; the theme,
the expression, the doctrine are all
drink inspired:
Plainly referring to the bottle:
No! Let me taste the whole it.
The heroes of old; fare like my
peers; fare like my peers,
The heroes of old;
Bear the brunt, in minute pay
glad life's arrears
Of pain, darkness and cold.

Vice President Chesterman
Explains How Business
Made Move Necessary !,
Ry RICHARD HATTON.

With a view to locating in the
center of the financial district cf
the city and in order to meet the
requirements of its expanding bust
ness, the Morris Plan Bank Of
washington will shortly occupy the
premises at 14O8 II street northwest.
Executive Vice President Ber:
tram Chesterman, of the Morris
Plan Bank of Washington, said this
morning that the business Of his
institution had developed so rapidly
that in order to meet the unusual
growth the bank had taken long
term lease on the H street building,
which was formerly occupied by
the j. Murray Dove Company.
The structure will be thoroughly
remodeled and converted into q
modern bank building.
The present front Of the building
will be torn out and replaced by
an artistic banking exterior with
limestone columns and appropriate
finishings in the way of architec-
tural design.
The entire interior of the build
ing will be remodeled and redecora-
rated and handsome marble bank.
ing fixtures will be installed.
The equipment and office ar
rangement will be in keeping with
the dignity of a modern banking
institution and so arranged as to
provide every facility for the grow
ing business Of the bank and for
the comfort Of its customers.
The business of the Morris
Plan Bank has developed to such
an extent" said Vice President
Chesterman today, that the in.
stitution will require for its present
needs approximately 5000 square
feet of banking space on the first
floor Of the building" This is pro-
vided for in the new location and,
it is believed, it will be ample to
meet the needs of the business
for the present However, the
management is looking ahead Of the
present and the immediate future
and is providing for the expected
expansion by securing an option
on approximately 5000 additional
square feet of space in the build.

The present location of the Nor
ris Plan Bank Of Washington is at

The Budget System
In Indiana

E@r1HE State Chamber of Commerce an
l nounces that following the talk of Gen.
Lord, director Of the national budget, at the
start a campaign for the general application of
tne budget system to cities and towns through
out the State.
The budget system looks we'll on paper and
probably would be ideal if carried through. But
the budget system, so far as it has been applied
in Indiana, has been almost a fiat failure.
The reason for this failure lies not so much
in the system as in it's application, or rather
lack of application.
Indianapolis and Marion county are sup
posed to be operating on budgets. AT the be-
ginning of each fiscal year q budget is worked
out and agreed upon. Then, almost Immediate
ly, there begins the transfer of money from one.
fund to another for one purpose or another and
the whole system is defeated.
The same thing applies to the State. The
McCray administration sought to put a budget
system into operation, but in the same act that
created a budget system was a provision for the
transfer of money from one fund to another.
Thus the whole purpose of the system was de-
feated.
A state or a city either operates on a
