whatever. They simply took the
money, did the depositor the favor of
taking it, and gave it back to him
when he wanted it. And then they
considered their full duty done.
The tellers and clerks treated the
depositors as though they were entire
" beneath them. !, myself, heard de-
positor, an old Irishwoman, say to a
teller who had been snappish with
her: Then you better keep a civil
tongue in your head. 1t is the likes
of me that keeps the likes of you in
your place." In that brief and caus-
tic and well-deserved comment she
had summed up the whole situation
in nutshell.
There was nothing warm, nothing
cordial, but as the years went by
those who worked at the windows got
on friendly and kindly relations with
the people coming to the windows.
Here and there some man got so close
70 the people that they began to tell
him their personal affairs and ask for
his advice, and Of late years the
banks, too, have been stressing the
human element. They have struck
better way of approaching people.
They have taken steps, for instance,
to try to get as close as they can to
the foreign element. That is one Of
the great problems in all the large
manufacturing and business centers,
A great mass of foreigners come here
and get together in groups; but they
do not get any real touch of Ameri-
canism. They are just as Jewish and
just as Italian ten or twenty years
after they come here as they were
the day they came, because nobody
appears to take any particular inter-
est in them. But when an institution
like savings bank begins to take an
interest in the problems of the peo-
pie. to let them feel that here is a
group of people engaged in business
| that is willing to listen to them, their
| troubles, their trials, is willing to ad-
wise them, willing to steer them
straight, willing to be sort OF Big
Brother to them, do not think there
is any better Americanization work
than that being done.
That is the kind OF work the pro-
gressive savings bank is starting on,-
telling people that If they will come
to them with their troubles they will
be glad to give them the best disin-
terested advice, to do things for them
free. that otherwise they would be
charged for by somebody They are
willing to advise them when they get a
little more money than the savings
bank can take care of, what they can
invest it in, or in some cases what
not to invest it in.
II the savings and commercial
banks all over the country adopt that
particular attitude toward our foreign
fellow-citizens, it will give them an
entirely different view Of American
ism. 1t is this changed attitude that
has resulted in the tremendous growth
of deposits that have taken place in
the savings banks since the war
There has been a different spirit
breathed into the relations between
the depositors and the men on the
other side Of the counter.

NEAR EAST kELiEf HOLDS
MASS MEETINGS

A series of union meetings was
held Sunday under the direction
of the Shenandoah County Near
East Relief organization. County
Chairman Fred D. Maphis had
secured speaker from National
Headquarters in New York in the
person of Rev. S. r. Vinton to
inform the people of this county
just what was being done by the
Near East Relief and how the
money had been expended. Rev.
Mr.. Vinton had spent FIVE months
visiting all the orphanages oper-
ated by the Near East Relief and
took actual photographs of al.
phases of the work.
The meeting in Woodstoc K
was held in the Methodist church
at three o'clock. A number OF
the pastors and me mbers Of Il e
different churches in town were
present, including Messrs. Carl
c. Boyer and L. Glenn Locke
Chairman for Stonewa and
Johnston Districts.

stated that last year fourteen per
cent of the children had been
dismissed from the orphausges
at the average age of sixteen
years and 1t would be the policy
of the Near East to dismiss
about 10 per cent of the children
each year as fast as homes and
work could be found for them.
The boys and girls are taught
useful trades such as carpenter
ing, shoe-making, black smith
ing for the boys and lace-mak-
ing, weaving, sewing, etc. for
the girls. He stated that if the
people of Shenandoah County
withdrew their support now.
many of these children would
have to be turned out of the
orplianages aud left to drift for
themselves, which i'll many cases
would mean suffering, hard ship.

Rust on Cereals
Cause of Damage
Two Varieties Found on
Wheat Caused by Fun
gus Organisms. .

There are several kinds Of rust on
cereals. Two Of these rusts are most
commonly found on wheat; namely,
orange leaf rust and black stem rust.
Both are caused by fungus organisms
and the seeds" by which they spread
are called spores. These spores ger
inmate. forming germ tube which
enters the living host plant and pro-
duces q spot which later breaks
through the epidermis. This Is called
pustule.
Leaf rust has a widespread occur
renee Its pustules OTTER are found on
the leaves of wheat when the plants
are young. They are of an orange yell
low color. hence the name orange leaf
rust" The round spores can be rec
ognixed by means of a microscope.
Though this rust causes some damage.
1t does not cause serious losses.
Rust on Stems and Leaves.
Stem rust Is common on both stems
and leaves Its pustules can be told
from those Of the leaf rust by their
reddish color and the torn paper-liks
edges Of the pustules. The red spores
Of the summer stage are oval In shape.
The red or summer stage develops
rapidly under favorable conditions,
spreading the rust from field to held.
The spores are so light that they may
be carried long distances by the wind.
Moisture does not cause rust but fur
nishes favorable conditions for the
spores to terminate and multiply.
The common barberry, (Berberis
vulgaris). Is an important factor In
the spread Of stem rust. There are a
few other species Of barberry which
may take stem rust and spread It to
grains and grasses.
Burberry Starts Spread.
An infected common barberry win
start an early spread Of stem rust.
Several cases have been observed
where local epidemics have started
from such sources.
The japanese barberry is harmless
and should be destroyed
Look out for early appearances Of
both leaf and stem rusts on grains
and wild grasses. Send specimens
and record of location of early stem
rust on grain or wild grasses to the
botany department Of the State Ag-
ncultural college.-E. A. Lungren,

Work of Corn Borer

The corn stalk borer spends the
winter In the tap root Of the old corn
stalk. where It is protected from win

moth or .miller" develops. Eggs are
lsyed on the growing corn. Injury Is
caused by the larva or grub. This
worm bores into the corn stalk, stunt

down before the ears are mature. In
some localities injury is severe.

Ancient Books Shot0
Surgery an Old Art

The practice Of surgery goes back
rs far as the time when man first
began to hurt himself or to be hurt by
others. Medicine and surgery were
fourishlng In the Orient some four
centuries B. @ Accounts In ancient
books tell Of more than a hundred
instruments Of steel, II varieties of
bandages, splints made Of bamboo, the
sewing Of cuts on the head and
face; and there was even an operation
for remaking the nose by using piece
Of skin Of the cheek for that purpose.
So 1t would seem that the Hindu had
q more thorough acquaintance with
the science than one looking back over
the faraway centuries would at first
suspect.
The figures Of patients undergoing
operations are carved on Egyptian
monuments and among the antiquities
Of that people are such instruments
as iancets, probes. knives and forceps
In passing 1t may be remarked that
the latest centuries need not take
credit to themselves for the invention
Of artificial teeth, for that triumph
Of the dentists art has been found In
mummies.
The surgical skill Of the Orient
seems to have been bottled up for a
time, or. at least 1t was In no hurry
to cross over to Europe, where for a
long period the barber was the usua1
surgeon. The lives Of two of Eng
lands greatest kings might have been
saved for longer usefulness had little
wisdom been shown In their treatment.

ANOTHER CHARGE
FILED AGAINST
J. }. HASTINGS

An additional charge has been filed
against j. j. Hastings, charged with
wrecking the New England state bank,
Hettinger county, according to re-
ports received here today by Attor-
ncy General George Shafer.
,he charge, made by c. A. Potter,
New England business man, accuses
Hastings Of violating the state blue
sky law by selling securities in the
Bankers Holding company, Of which
Hastings was president.
Information received by the attor-
ney generals office indicates. that
Hastings sold stock in the corpora
ton to four different persons and
received for it notes aggregating 81
$50, Shafer said. These notes then
were deposited by Hastings in the
New England .st"tc bank, Of which he
also was president. 1t is charged that
Hastings converted the money to his
personal use. Potter and the three
others who had given such notes
never received the promised stock
md refused to meet the notes wheH
they became due, the attorney gen
eral was informed.
Trial of the new charge is expected
to be had at the same time that
Hastings is tried on the bank-wreck-
ing charge.
