His second charge against the

law, cynicaIly talking about the
need for equalizing manage

Murray declared, "are turning to

warning. This also appeared in the
1902 paper.
Doing His Own Banking
Savings banks and other banking
institutions may not always be abb
solutely safe, but experience has
taught that they are vastly safer
than the traditional "old Stocking"
or other devices which oversuspis-
ious persons are sometimes wont to
employ to secrete their money.
A case in point is a farmer who
halls from the interior of Pennsyl-
vania. He worried about the banks
and was quite upset by the stories
he heard of occasional failures.
Finally he drew out his deposit,
5000, and, taking it home, covertly
sewed all of it in the lining of an ex-
tremely dilapidated coat. OF course
he didn't tell his wife about this
hiding place; he was altogether too
shrewd for that. And so along came
the inevitable junk dealer to whom
his wife sold the coat of the costly
lining for a five cent coin. OF
course there was a wild scene when
the secretive husband learned of the
sale, and the junk dealer was hunt
ed up. But he had shipped the coat
to Philadelphia, and it was undoubt-
eddy ground to rags, bank bills and
all.
The case is not an exceptional
one and again illustrates the folly
of those peculiar persons who pre-
fer to secrete their money in out of
the way places rather than put it in
the customary repositories.

Was reading the other day about
the collective" farms they have in
certain countries. It seems the folks
who run them have plenty of help
-. good hours and the best
equipment.
Sounds pretty nice - till you
learn that the "farmer" doesn't
own his land, or even farm it, in
our sense. He takes orders from the
state; produces whatever they
want him to produce, at prices they
set. Even his off-hours are spent
according to state regulations.
No, that would never go here.

YES, American women spend lots of time =

nature. And the results are easy on the eye.
It's fact that American women spend more
money each year for beauty aids than they
spend for the electric service that makes their
homes so comfortable. Now this doesn't mean
women are cosmetic-crazy. Not at all! It merely
proves that electricity does lot for little!
