 Keeping homes free of insects, so you can live in clean comfort, so you can sleep nights, is just another way of being modern, like riding in a motor car or enjoying the movies. Naturally you want the product that best kills insects. Well, Fit is the most widely used protection against insects in the world-the largest selling in- secticide. This is probably because it kills insects quicker and is easier to use, and because it is guaranteed to kill household insects or money back.

Heavy Demand For New Currency Expected Tomorrow as Curiosities;
 Exchange Will Take Many Months
Year From Now Old Bills of Smaller Denominations Will Be Rare, Treasury Officials Announce
 In Releasing Money

Washington. July E) - The myriad ranks of money seekers to- morrow will become, at the same time, curiosity seekers. For with the opening of banks for business tomorrow morning, the nationwide scramble will begin to acquire some of the new, attractive, unfamiliar currency which. within few months, will replace the long ia miliar, much larger paper money now in circulation throughout the country.
 Expect Big Demand The "curiosity demand" for the rev currency. one-third smaller than the old, is expected to keep up for several weeks. with about a12, 2,000,o00 pieces already printed The treasury is prepared 10 meet that demand, but only 10 a limited extent because of the big problem of distribution and the necessity of avoiding waste by keeping the old currency in use as long as it is fit for exchange.

is the educational section of the Amer
lean Bankers Association. 1t was
formed twenty-eight years ago by bank
employees and officers and has bean
carried on ever since as voluntary
organization. Many students who have
graduated continue their membership
in order to give active support to some
type Of educational work other than
the actual class program.
The greater part OF tina educational
work Is carried on In 200 cities and
towns In the United States. Here the
local chapter of tho American Insti-
tute Of Banking has Its regularly or.
ganized courses Of study under super
vision of the national body with local
instructors and directors to fulfil the
standard requirements regarding text
material, classwork and examinations.
Instructors are recruited from the
stats of leading universities, from
members of the legal profession and
from among accountants and bank
men who have made record in some
field of activity in banking that marks
them as experts. All instructors must
be approved by the national organiza-
ton. They are compensated by the To-
cal units. The students pay tuition,
in which they are frequently aided by
their employing banks, and this, to-
gether with contributions made by the
banks for general classroom overhead,
finances the educational program.
Education Pathway to Advancement
Leading banks in various parts OF
the country are insisting that their
employees take work In the Insti-
tute. This Is frequently a part Of
their contract OF employment at the
time they enter the bank. 1t is also
now quite generally understood in the
field OF American banking that study
In the American Institute OF Bank
ing is considered one of the basic
factors In the promotion of the in
diyidual to a place of Importance in
bank.
The Standard Certificate of the
American Institute Of Banking Is an.
nually gaining greater and wider
recognition among practical bankers
throughout the United States. These
certificates are coming to have the
same Importance In the banking world
that certificates OF education have in
the field OF the general professions.
This is practical example and one
thoroughly we'll demonstrated by sea-
soned experience OF the new spirit of
American business.

POWER SOURCE OF THE
FUTURE.

In the opinion of electrical seien-
fists and experts coal and not water
power will be the principal source of
power in the future.
no less an authority than Thomas
A. Edison recently pointed out, Geo
graphic placement of water with re-
spect to the great industrial load, the
dependence of water-power stations
upon fuel-burning plants for their
economical operation, the economic
check desirable in financial develop
ment, and the relatively small value
of water-power compared to the pow
er required for the country, are all
factors that have influenced the de-
velopment of the industry in the
pas. They are of equal Importance
in guiding the development of the flu
ture.'
the inherent advantages of hydro
electric plants are often offset by the
cosr of making the development in
comparison to the cost of erecting
modern steam stations. AS we'll the
steam station is considered better
risk than the hydro-electric station
because operating costs can be re-
duoed when demand for power falls
off.
During 1927, the last year for which
official reports are available, but 40
per cent of electricity was generated
by water-power. Scientific progress
reduced the rate of coal consumption
per kilowatt-hour from 80 pounds in
1919. to 1.84 pounds in 1927.
The United States Geological Sur
vey, in a recent release gave high
praise to the private electric COM
panies of the United States for the
efficiency they are exhibiting in serv-
ing the public by producing more
electricity for less fuel.
Mr.. Edison also disputes the theory
that our coal is being exhausted,
bringing US near to a time when all
electricity will be generated by water
power. "The coal mined to date is
less than one per cent Of the available
supply" he said.
Water-power has been exaggerated
for political purposes. The facts
should not be clouded.

ONE cow VS.. ONE DOZEN

Citations Indicate that on the average:
Cows that produced 100 lbs. butterfat
year returned s14 each over feed
cost:
Cows that produced 200 lbs. butterfat
year returned s54 each over feed
cost; ~
Cows that produced 300 lbs. butterfat
year returned S96 each over feed
cost;
Cows that produced 400 lbs. butterfat
year returned 1888 each over feed
cost;
Cows that produced 500 lbs. butteriat
year returned S17S each over feed
cost;
In other words. one 500-pound pro-
Queer will return $40 more over feed
cost than twelve 100 lb. producers.
This does not take into account,
either, the added labor OF milking and
caring for the larger herd, or the
much greater expense OF providing
stable room for dozen instead OF a
single animal. The figures are based
ON farm prices from all parts Of the
country.

stock animals. They have taken an
animal known as the yak, a long
haired, bush tailed, slow moving stub
born creature that lived in the cold
regions of Tibet. As mates they
have brought in sturdy galway cat
tie. These two varieties take kindly
to one another and have produced
wonderful results. The offsprings
are known as galyaks and look like
longhaired cows, with longer bodies
than domestic cows. They resist the
ordinary cattle diseases and endure
comfortably the cold seasons, and
give promise of being valuable
addition to the meat industry of the
