STRENGTHENING THE BANKS


The most important problem that
congress now has to face, is that OF
creating a stronger banking system
for the United States. The principal
reason for the delay in the business
revival that had been confidently
expected last fall, was the closing
of many banks. The fact that over
2000 such banks had to stop business
in 1881, was a blow affecting mil
lions of people.
The folks with money in closed
banks restricted their purchases.
Good sound banks felt they had to
convert their assets into the most
liquid forms. So they dumped vast
quantities of perfectly good bonds
on the securities exchange The big
drop that occurred in bond values
added to the losses of the people,
and deepened the pessimism that al
ready existed.
The American people have always
recovered promptly from such trou-
bles in the past. On several occa-
sions in our financial history, the
bank failures that occurred were
far more disastrous than those of
1881. Hence there is not the least
reason for discouragement in these
unfortunate events.
The bankers should not neces-
sarily be blamed for the conditions
of the past. Things have happened
that no one could foresee. The banks
OF some localities and states have
Jared much better than others. The
systems and methods prevailing in
localities with relatively few fail
ures should be carefully studied, to
determine how they avoided trouble.
The government and the states
must watch over their banks with
the utmost care, giving them the as
sistance of the most expert advice,
discouraging them from taking un-
wise chances, and giving them a pru-
dent regulation that is free from
political influence. With such over
sight, the banks will promptly re-
cover from recent conditions, and
will become again the foundation of
business prosperity.

SLAUGHTER NECK

The farmers of Slaughter Neck
have made ready for the spring
work and there will be the usual
planting of staple crops and possi-
bly, a few will plant new crops IN
either fruits or vegetables as eXper-
iments, to learn what will be profi-
table for the season just opening.
The Ladies Aid of Slaughter Neck
Church will meet in the basement of
the church on Tuesday evening.
March l. The committee in charge of
the social hour is Misses Carrie and
Luella Bennett, who invite every
body to be present and enjoy a
pleasant evening.
The last meeting of the Ladies Aid
was held in January. when officers
for the present year were elected as
follows: Mrs. Harrison Collins,
president; Mrs. John P. Argo, vice
president; Mary Rogers, secretary;
Mrs. Harry Prettyman, reelected
treasurer. Luella Bennett, organist.
A report of the finances was read,
showing that after finishing the
church basement and other eXpendi-
lures, there was a balance of $72.29
in the treasury.
AS stated above, the next meeting
of the Aid will be held Tuesday,
March l, with the Misses Bennett in
charge. They have planned a special
entertainment featuring play and
refreshments. The play will be
"Jubalo" and there will be plenty
of ice cream and cake for all,
large audience is xpected-weather
permitting.
Raising geese and sheep attract
ed several farms in Slaughter Neck
for the past two years; but the low
prices have not caused any great
enthusiasm over the cash results;
but stop and think over this. Did not
the sheep and geese pay as well, or
better, than some of the old crops
usually grown?
Just remember, that when prices
are ruling low, but not making any
loss for the grower, that then is the
time to begin any new enterprise.
If it breaks even now, it will be a
winner when business is again go
ing good.
Slaughter Neck has the reputa-
ton of progress and being willing
to take chance.

THE ANTl.MOARDNG CAMPAIGN
@l&&E[l

How will the government get at
those hoarders who tuck their
money away in safe deposit vaults
and the home stocking and mattress ?
The government says they should
take it out of these hiding places
and set il to work. But how can the
hoarders be located, and how can
their panicky fears be calmed?
Hoarding apparently can be stop
ped just the way theater panic is.
II is very like the situation in some
public assemblage, when some fool
ish person yells Fire Even if
there is no fire, il all those folks i'm
mediatcly jump up and rush for the
door, someone is likely to get tram
pied upon.
In such a situation, if some cool
and forceful person yells to the
crowd to sit down, or if they must
leave, to go out in an orderly way,
that confident and authoritative
voice has very calming effect. Con-
fidence is just as contagious as fear
is. People are ashamed to show UNI
due timidity, and many foolish pam
les in public halls have been stop
ped in that way.
The feeling of panic which has
led people to hoard money so fool
ishly should be stopped in similar
manner. If the leading business
men in the various communities,
who know the condition of their
banks, and know that these banks
have good investments, will tell The
people so with a strong and conf
dent voice. people would be ashamed
to upset their home town business
by this foolish boarding.
Congress has passed legislation
that ought to have an Immediately
strengthening effect on our finan-
cial system. Business leaders every
where can we'll speak confidently to
the people, and tell them that the
danger of financial trouble has been
greatly lessened. an dthat the thing
for everyone to do now is to sit tight
and give unanimous support to their
hanks.

SHAWNEE

There is a growing desire for
elimination of danger for those who
walk to and from the Central
Church at Shawnee, about two miles
southwest from Milford, over the
highway leading from Milford 10
Greenwood and Bridgeville. The
road is very narrow, and never was
intended to carry the traffic which
daily passes over it.
Such children as live within one
mile of Milford, have to walk to and
from the public school over this
highway, crossing the du Pont Boul-
evard at the city limits, and of
course those who walk; keep in the
center of the present highway, and
are endangered by passing automo-
biles as well as the school busses.
Then the people at night attending
the services at Shawnee Church
from nearby points, are subject to
the same danger. What is needed
now is a sidewalk from the du POnt
Boulevard to the city line for those
who walk; but, the school busses
must have the roadway widened at
least eight feet on each side Of the
present insufficient roadway, for
safety of the bus travel as well as
for automobiles and those who walk.
Lets ask the State Highway Com
mission for this necessity for our
own folks. and ask it now.
The Central NJ. P. Church will re-
open on March with ghe regular
afternoon services, followed by at
least a week special evening ser
vices. Every Christian in the COM
munity as well as those who desire
to see the church doors kept open,
should cooperate in every way dur
ing these meetings.

handed pitchers are threatening to
ruin the 1892 National League pen
nant hopes of the Pittsburgh Pr

The Pirates. who only a month
ago appeared safely out in front
with live game lead, have slipped

haven't been able to fathom south
paw pitching.
They dropped their 10th game In

victory and it marked the 18th
time in the losing streak that they

BABE SINCERE
in PLAN TO Be
GOLF CHAMPION
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Aug. 20.-Babe Did
rikson, the two-time Olympic
champion, wasn't kidding when she
happened to remark not SO long
ago that she was going after the
national womens golf champion
ship.
She came to Chicago from Dallas
by airplane to participate in the
post Olympic meet in Soldier field,
Thursday night, and spent yester-
day on the golf course.
II WASH so good" she said when
she returned from the links. PUT
ting, that's the part that gets my
goat. I can drive and play the
irons all right, but I'm not much
yet at putting"
Were you sincere when you said
you thought you could win the
women's golf title?" she was asked.
Sure I was. In the short while
that I have played golf I have
found out that it's tough game,
the hardest one I ever tried to
play, but that's what I like about
it. All other sports come too easy
for me-"
In her enthusiasm for golf, the
tall Texas girl has forgotten about
her Olympic triumphs and world
record breaking performances in
the javelin and 80 meter hurdles.
All she's thinking about now is
winning the golf title, and helping
the Dallas girls basketball team
she plays on win the national
championship this winter.
Asked if she planned to turn pro-
fessional, she said:
1--WE had some tempting offers,
but I don't think I'll accept any
of them. want to win this what
ever-you-call-it golf thing first and
then I want to help my basketball
team win the national title back.
We won it two years ago, but lost
last year when the referee kept
calling fouls on us because he
thought we played too rough"
Then there was some more talk
about golf, in which she was in
formed that Billy Hicks, present
champion, didn't think she could
become a champion without a lot
of practice.
Il agree with Miss Hicks" said
Miss Didrikson. It'll take lot
of practice, but I've seen just
enough of the game to feel that I
can become champion at it.
