f. Interest in figuring out ways and

FORUM

Dear Editor:
Well, Aggie, as usual here sit,
house to clean garden TO hoe, socks to
darn, buttons to replace and stomachs
20 fill; but am ufflcd and the only
way / can calm my troubled spirits is
to pour out my grievance into your
editorial ear.
This is the cause of my present corr
rugated state. You, see l got a letter
from the Bank. Not nice friendly
letter asking me to come in and use
their deposits as l would my own, but
a cold, formal, printed notice that
said, According to our books your ac-
count is apparently overdrawn 10000
Please give this matter ETC." Now,
why Aggie, can't they learn TO add?
Good heavensl All they can do is to
subtract my money and multiply
theirs. And, Aggie, they are always
sending me those little measly letters.
l wouldn't care quite so much If they'd
write me nice, long, chatty letter
telling me all about their victims and
who owes who and how much and all
those interesting details that they
don't set forth in the front and back
of ones pass-book, but those brief,
close-clipped form notices like busi-
ness mans mustache-I get a gone
feeling in my stomach every time I see
one Of those blue envelopes from the
bank. because 1 know I'm going to see
red when I open it,
It's no use to go in and say, Here,
can't you fellows keep your books
straight What's the meaning of this
icicle you sent me, etc. They just
smile blandly, offer me my balance
sheet, Gas if that meant anything to
mel, and then, protected by those iron
bars, they just stand and wait while
peruse the said balance sheet. 1 al
ways hate to come right out and say,
Whats this thing for? Who spent
all this money anyway?"
You see they have that expectant
air that says, Nov madam, that ex-
plains your deficit satisfactorily,
hope" And rather than dash their
hopes continue to peruse the sheet
try to look intelligent and finally hand
the thing back and say in what ]
fondly hope is playful, cevii-may-
