‘ - struct water works or ‘other public enterprises. Saving also equals helping the butcher, baker and grocer to do business so that food is brought within reach of the home; and the manufacturer to male shoes, clothing and the many things ~ people need to live. ‘ e Every saver, therefore, is not only putting away, money against a rainy day and earning interest on it meanthle, but he is also . making it possible for himself and others to have the luxuries, comforts and necessaries of life—to enjoy all the advantages of - a greater and better civilization. Thus through banks every ~ saver gains a great deal more than merely interest om his money.

STRAIGHT TALKS - WITH AUNT EMMY ON .HOWt N;)TI'—;—(; G‘ET RICH

“Oh, Aunt. Emmy,” cried Helen, rushing in and kissing ‘Aunt Emmy, “I've got a wonderful chance to get rich. The nicest ‘man told me about a patent bee-hive that will double my money in a year! With it bees will make two or three times as much honey. If I buy it right away I can ‘make ever so much money, for the stock is selling at fifty cents and it's going to par soon, whatever that is, 80 I'll have oodles of money. *)nh Aunty, won't it be lovely? You %nd I can go to Europe and—" - ; “Hold on a minute, Helen,” begged Aunt Emmy; “would you really let this man have your money for a fool thing like that?” . ! “Why, Aunty, I'm sure it is all right! He gave me .thé loveliest booklet—l brought it, along. You are 80 suspicious, Aunty,” she reproached. “Suspicious, am I! That $5,000 is the only money you ever had or ever expect to have except what you earn a 8 a teacher. You can’'t afford to throw it away. Sit right down and write to your bank for information about that bee-hive. Tell them you are thinking of investing your $5,000, and send them the booklet.” . “But, Aunty, that would take several days, and the man said not to walit,” Helen protested. , “If people would walit a while before investing, there would be far less failures in the world. You will hear from the bank soon enough. Promise.” i :

“I suppoese I'll have to,” agreed Helen, crestfallen, “but I'm sure the old bank doesn’t want to be bothered with poor little me.” When Helen came to see Aunt Emmy again she looked' serious. Aunt Emmy guessed that her get-rich-quick bubble had burst.

“Look, Aunty,” she said, handing over a letter from the bank that gave a report on the patent bee-hive. The letter sald that the men engaged in the enterprise were not trustworthy. It invited Helen to consult with the bank about her investment. ;

“You were right, Aunty,” said Helen. “I saw Mr. Hitchcock there. He told me a lot about investments, and suggested some safe ones. I never understood the bank’s value before. If it had not been for you and the bank I should not have a cent today. I'll never do a thing with money unless I ask the bank first. I felt I was with friends, Aunty.” . “You were, my dear,” said Aunt Emmy, smiling.—ANNE B. AYMES.

A Chance to Shine

THE young man of today nged : not leave the farm for a career. True, present conditions are not conducive to large financial returns, but these conditions will undoubtedly change. Those who are in position to know think that we have reached the low ebb and now farm products are on the upgrade.

We have only begun to solve our agricultural problems. There is a large unexplored field ahead: of us. The .young man with brains and a sympathetic heart can find ample opportunities for making a name for himself on the farm. j

In addressing a national group of young people recently, President Head, of the American Bankers Association, said he believes the or ortunities for making o name as a leader in agriculture are greater tham mpking a mame in the position of a Congressman. He thinks the day is coming when a man shall take pride in saying, “I am an American farmer.” . Any young man who has a liking for things rural can well afford to consider preparing himself to become a good farmer, for after he has made a success of his farm, he will find abundant opportunity for leadership in his community,— Banker-Farmer.

AMERICA NOT INDIFFERENT . By‘FRANCIS H. SISSON, Chairman, Public Relations Com- . mission, American Bankers : Association. e While the facts justify the beliet that the financial and general economic strength of the United States

peopie. ' In fact, I believe that such indifference does not exist. The nation is observing with deep interest the progress of events abroad and has given many evidences of a readiness to aid in restoring normal conditions there whenever it is seen that a suitable opportunity is afforded. - Our people have naturally been reluctant to act while the European nations still fail to display the will to accept the only terms on which rehabilitation is possible, and to abandon their mutual hatreds and distrusts, their persistence in preparation for further warfare, and their destructive political and financial policies. Such policies have so weakened the credit of some of the cintinental nations that the task of ciding them seems futile until it is clear that these policies are discredited azd disowned by them. e | . ~Although it seems clear from the record of recent years that America, more perhaps than any other country, has been and will continue to be able to adjust itself without serious disaster to the conditions created by European - depression, and. has in its own vast domestic market and in other non-European markets an outlet for its products adequate to maintain a fair degree of national prosperity, the fact remainsg that it is very definitely' to the selfish interests of the United States to have Great Britain and the European continental countries regain their normal prosperity at the earliest possible date. They normally absorbed between 60 and 70 per cent of American exports. but recently have been taking less than 50 per cent. o Moreover, the rich contribution which Europe has made in the past to the upbuilding of other parts of the world, including the United States, would seem to create a genu,-' ine obligation upon other ' countries | to come to its aid in the present period of difficulty. General well-being throughout the entire world will be diminished to a degree as long as Europe is unable to play its part in production and consumption of valuable products. It possesses vast resources of skill and equipment for the productiorn of useful commodities in demand by all nations, and loss continues while these resources are limited in their use by poverty and by adverse political and social conditions. That the share of the United States’ in this loss is relatively small should not preclude an active interest in every promising effort that .may be made to restore the European nations to economic and financial health.

For Community Betterment

The Committee on Agriculture of the Missouri State Bankers Assoeiation has sent out a questionnaire to all members to secure a frank opinion as to what are the most important community problems to be solved in the state. The questionnaire covers bank deposits, creps, schools, manufacturing, roads, junior ciub work, agricultural agencies, co-opera-tive agencies, farm abandonment. land values, finances, dgirying, and social life, with a view in determining what work should be undertaken for the year. e
