banker to lend him the other $l.10o. the banker
asked il he could get some one known to the
bank to indorse the note with him. Thes
banker explained the situation as follows:
your account with our bank is not very
large You have lived here only short time.
You own no property and so you are hardly
what we would call preferred risk"
Mr. Ainslee thought q minute and then
asked, IF get the manager of my department.

me- will that be satisfactory to you?"
I The banker promptly replied that he would
gladly lend Mr.. Ainslee $l.10O IL he would get
the Endorsement And he further explained
that the manager Of his department was .
good customer Of the bank, owned considerable
property In the town and so would fully pro-
tect the bank ON this loan.
Mr. Ainslee suggested the transaction 70 the
manager Of his department. and the matter was
arranged. Mr.. Ainslee signed note and the
note was then signed on another line by his
friend. The bank then had what Is known as
"two-name paper"
This Endorsement meant that IL Mr. Airlslee
could not pay the note when it was due, his
friend who had Endorsed the note with him
would be asked to pay IL by the hank and the
hank knew that this second man would make
the payment Thus the bank was protected
and was therefore willing to lend the money

department was willing 10 sign the note for Mr..
Ainslee? When he did 20. he took the re-
sponsibility that the bank did not care 70

The reason was that he knew that he was q

Further he made arrangements In o written
agreement with Mr.. Ainslee that certain per-

deposited In . special savings account each week

be money to pay.
The department manager was interested in

LEGGE COMMENTS
ON WHEAT PRICE
Any One Selling at Present
Market Level Is Foolish,
He Declares.

The statement that ANY one selling
wheat Or cotton at the present market
prices is foolish" was made yesterday
by Chairman Legge of the Federal
Farm Board when he was informed that
wheat prices in some exchanges We'd
nesday had dropped below the level set
by the board through its supplemental
loans to co-operatives for advances to
grower members.
ct don't think there IS any danger
of wheat prices dropping below the loan
level for any length of time" the chair
man said. LAS a matter of fact, 1t was
only on certain exchanges it took place
yesterday and I believe this was the
result largely of the actions of specu-
lative interests"
Legge said only small part of the
800, 100000 set aside fer loans to grain
co-operatives actually had been loaned
up to the present time.
One of the disturbing factors in the
wheat situation, Mr.. Legge said, was
the lack of terminal facilities, although,
he added, conditions were improving.
He said the action of railroads in lift
ing the embargo at Galveston yesterday
was an indication of easier conditions
In terminal facilities.

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK

That the steady increase in bust
ness of the wide-awake business con-
Germ is due to newspaper advertising.
That new lines of merchandise make
their way according to the way they
are advertised.
That advertised goods are sold by
dealers who realize their customers
want the best,
That live merchants know their
customers are entitled to the best,
especially when the cost is no more.
That stores that advertise have
snappy, attractive looking stocks. The
absolute reliability of their merchan-
disc mckes them satisfactory to the
people.
That the people who buy nothing
but advertised goods always have a
satisfied feeling.
That some inferior merchandise can
not be judged by its appearance.
That some people are deluded into
buying inferior merchandise.
The best way and the sure way to
buy top quality merchandise is by
buying only from merchants who
advertise.

A More or Less True Story

Once upon a time man was travel
ing through deep forest. Night
found him far from human habitation,
so he took refuge in a hollow log.
Toward morning he Weakened to find
that either he had expanded, or the
log had shrunk, and he was caught
fast. Finding that no amount OF
struggling would avail, and feeling
sure that h.deous death awaited
him, far from humankind, he began
to review the events of his life.
He thought first of the good deeds
he had done, but the sense OF his
fate, together with the grey dawn
made him so morbid that his bad
deeds seemed easier to review. He
though over, one by one, of how he
had failed in his relations to his fei-
low man.
He thought of how he had failed to
pay DR.. Grandy the final payment on
the last baby, of how he still owed Dr.
McNIurray for the time he lanced that
boil. He had deliberately walked out
of Tins Place without paying ioi d
cup of excellent coffee. He had ex-
hausted his credit everywhere In
Vashon, and had worked down the Is
land as far as the Burton Trading
store. He owed England q Petersen
for the sack of petersen's Developing
Mash that had developed him to his
present proportions. He suddenly
remembered that one day he had rid
den on the bus and had told Bob that
he would pay his fare that evening
but instead he had asked a friend on
the ferry for u ride home that night
and had been tagging passing cars
ever since. Then, too, there was the
time he had gone for some lumber
and finding neither Gus nor Don he
had helped himself, forgetting to
mention it the next time he saw them,
AS though this were not all bad enough
he remembered that he owed dues to

Boy Scouts and the Golf Club, not to
mention what he had promised to give

ADAM SLEPT

When, on October 10th, just SO years
ago, science had found way to re-
lieve mankind of some of its unneces-
sary pain and suffering, by the use
of anaesthetics, it met with stiff OPP
position on the ground that suffering
was the natural lot of mankind, and
to prevent it was an impious thwarting
of the will of God. 1t was not until
reference was made to that part of
the Bible, which relates that God
caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam
before removing his rib. that the
critics and opponents of anaesthetics
were stilled.
The romance of the discovery of
ether is full of interest and adven-
ture. On October 16, 1886, ether was
first used in surgery when DR.. Morton,
Boston dentist, administered his
discovery to patient, who was to
undergo an operation of the jaw. The
leading physicians of Boston witnessed
the event. When the patient awoke
and declared that he had felt no pain,
the physicians were convinced that
here was valuable discovery. But
how valuable it was, how. it has made
possible the great advances of surgery,
even they could not conceive.
Befort that discovery, surgery was
rarely resorted to-at best it was poor
ly done. How could it have been
otherwise, with a writhing patient be-
meath the knife, suffering indescrib-
able tortures, held as quiet as possible
by several men and nurses. Sometimes,
the patient was given q blow to render
him more insensible to pain.
The discovery of ether enabled surg
cry to advance by leaps and bounds.

ing saved every week by its use

upon insects and fish, then upon his
