SYRACUSE MAN HURT

Clinton Callender Suffers Cuts and Braises In ‘Crash South of New Paris Wednesday.

"~ Clinton Callendar who lives near Syracuse sustained cuts and bruises about the head, and possibly more serious injuries when a Ford truck he was driving was struck by a Winona interurban car two miles south of New Paris Wednesday at about four o’clock. bl i

Callendar had attended a sale at Nappanee and was delivering a cow and a calf in 'the truck to Lloyd Mathews who lives near the place where the accident occurred. Mathews was following behind the truck and said that Callendar apparently did not see the approaching car, although Mathews tried to attract his attention by sounding his horn.

The truck was completely demolished and Callendar was thrown a considerable distance. He was unconscious when reached, but soon recovered consciousness and was taken to the hospital at Warsaw for X-ray examination but it was not believed that he was seriously hrut. The interurban car was so badly damaged that it was towed back to Warsaw after the passengers were taken off and taken to Goshen in a school bus. T : :

BANKERS REPORT " DROP IN SAVINGS

Lure of Stock Market Partly to ‘Biame, but Slackened Specula_tion Expected to Bring Return to Thrift.

The first recession in the naton’s savings account in banks in the twenty years during which records in this field have been kept by the American Bankers Association was disclosed for last year in the recent annual complilation prepared by its Saving - Bank Division. The shrinkage amounted to over §5195,000,000, on the basis of figures for the year ending June 29, 1929, whereas a year earlier the reported increase was over $2,300,000,000, the largest ever recorded. The number of savings depositors also decreased during the year covered by more:than 500,000 accounts. The lure of the stock market and affiliated activities are cited as part of the explanation for these changes. « The association’s = statement says that savings deposits in banks and trust companies of ‘continental United States on June 29, 1929, stood at $28,217,656,000. The recesslon in savings, it declares, indicates a fundamental change in the savings situation, irrespective of whether it {s temporary or not. . :

How Bavings Used to Grow

“In 1926 savings deposits increased $1,562,000,000, in 1927, almost $1,400, 000,000 and in 1928 over $2,300,000,000, it says. “It appears now that some influences in one year have taken the gain that might reasonably have been oxpected in savings deposits for 1929 and lowered them from the high mark of the preceding year. This recession is not one coming as a result of drouth, famine, unemployment or conditions outside of ‘the United States. i , :

“A year ago it was stated: ‘The year closing June 30, 1928, registered the largest gain in savings deposits in banks and trust companies of continental United States ever recorded in the history of this country.” What a difference one year makes! From

a gain of more than 214 billions of dollars In savings deposits to a loss of almost 200 millions! . ,

. “The loss in savings deposits is reflected also in the loss of savings depositors. The year 1929 showed a total of 52,664,127 deposltors, against 53,188,348 for 1928, a loss of 524,221, “Industrial production was much higher last year than the preceding year, Factory payrolls were considerably greater. In production, employment and trade, advances were made over the preceding year. In the farm areas the improvement noted for 1928 did not recede In 1929 and the livestock industry in all its branches was prosperous, o ~

The Causes of the Drop

“The causes of the recession are possibly multiple. There is scarcely any reason to doubt that one of the important factors draining away savings and decreasing depositors has been the lure of profits to be made In stocks. For a number of years the people have been regaled with stories of profits made in stocks_-in-all types of companies, During the last few years there has been a specious philosophy preached that panics such as formerly occurred were no longer possible. :

“It it was the lure of profits in stocks which caused the recession in savings, then g factor in future savings will be the success attendant upon -this venture of savings deposftors in stocks. If the experiment did not prove generally successful, then another year will doubtless witness an increase in savings deposits as well as in savings depositors.” _'

HELPING YOUNG FOLK TO BECOME BANKERS

Through the American Institute of Banking, which is the American Bank: ers Association’s educational sectlon, the banking profession is educating 35,000 bank men and women in the technical and sclentific departments of their work: These students are en: abled by this institute, which is entire: ly non-commercial in its operations, to obtan a grasp of the finer points of banking without {interrupting their employment or interfering with their earnings, in their bank jobs.: ’ The courses given, ineluding banking economics and law and bank administration in all the departments, have been worked out under the direction of senior college educators and the lectures are always given by practical men, such as lawyers In the legal courses, experts in banking oper ations and college professors in the economics courses. There are chap ters with meeting rooms in over 200 cities and also a number of smaller study groups are fostered with correspondence ald. : -

It has been said that the A. 1.

NEW FARM ENGINE HAS A “BUILT-IN" HEATER FORWATER

Running of Engine Fur nishes Water for Washing Milking Utensils.

A gasoline engine with a “built-in” heater that heats water for washing the milker while it runs the milking machine or performs other tasks, Is 8 new development in dairy farming: The engine différs from the usual type of farm engine in that it is patterned after the modern automobile engine, according to the De Laval Bureau of Dairying. Extremely sim: ple in construction, the engine is about as fool-proof as a piece of mechanism can be, and capable of being run by anyone without the slightest mechanical knowledge. An efficient magneto delivers a hot flaming spark at all speeds, a carburetor of novel design makes for starting ease in any weather, and an automatic governor control makes attentlon or manipulation on the part of the operator almost unnecessary. . A Water Heater is Buiit In.

But the unique feature of this engine, and one sure to-be appreciated by the man who uses the milking machine, is the water heater built right into the engine. This consists of a four and a half-gallon tank which is connected to the cylinder water jacket of the engine. When the engine 1s being run, the water used to cool tH®

engine circulates through and around the water jacket and heater tank and becomeg heated to a temperature high enough for use in washing the milker or other dairy utensils. This takes place without mechanical assistance, and the result of thermo-syphonic action—warmest water rising to the top —the very same principle used in auto radiators, A convenient drain cock at the bottom of the water heater en‘ables the water to he easily drawn into a pail. The economy and convenience of this water heater. will appeal greatly to every dairy farmer, according to the De Laval Bureau. It makes for cleaner milk because it makes easy the cleaning of the milking equipment after each milking. The fact that there is a sufficient supply of hot water on hand for use immediately after milking also saves labor by reducing the time required to thoroughly wash the milker., The bother and expense of heating water on the kitchen stove or some other place is eliminated, and the water has no chance to cool off because it does not have to be carried far, the engine necessarily belng located close to where the mlilking is done, And all this—and this s probably the best feature of the heater—is accomplished without any added expense be‘cause the water is automatically heated during the period in which the engine runs the milking machine. , Has Other Uses, Too. .

After it has been used for milking, the engine can be run to operate the cream separator, the churn, the farm lighting plant or any other equipment coming within power range, Tests have shown that the operation of the engine is so smooth and its governor control so definite that when used to drive a lighting plant not the slightest flicker is noticeable.

TRACE BIG CREAM - LOSS TO SEPARATOR

Practically any farmer can have his separator tested by merely saving the skimmilk, adding the byfl flushings to it, and having the can of skimmilk re-skimmed with a new, high-class separator of known dependability. In order to emphasize the universal necessity of “checking up” on every kind of separator, over 1,000 public demonstrations were made during the past three years by De Laval-trained dairymen. Before audiences totaling 100,000 farmers, the skimmilk from some cream separator in use in the community was re-skimnied with a new, dependable ‘machine. The cream recovered in this manner was weighed and tested and a check obtained for the amount of butterfat recovered from the skimmilk, Last year, in's23 tests, an average of 9.2 gallons of skim milk was re skimmed at each test. An average of 8.8 pounds of cream was recovered, worth 21.8 cents at prevailing. prices. This means an average loss of over $79.00 per year for .all the separators from which skim milk was obtained.
