SAVINGS PASSBOOKS SOUGHT BY CROOKS

: T Use Them to Steal Money by Forged Slips — Should Be Guarded as Carefully as Cash.

Continual vigilance in saféeguarding savings pass books, as well as blank and cancelled checks, against theft by erooks, who use this material in forgery operations, is urged on bank customers by James E. Baum, Deputy ‘Manager of the American Bankers Association, in charge of its Protective Department. This department is continually vigilant in promoting ' means, both among bankers and the geuneral public, to thwart the operation ~of bank crooks. It annually investigates hundreds of crimes against banks and is responsible for the maJority of arrests among this class of criminals. :

“In a large majority of cases of forgeries on checks or savings withdrawal orders investigated by the American Bankers Association, stolen blank checks or savings pass books were the forgers’ chief stock in trade,” Mr. Baum says. *“ln many instances the temptation presented through the ‘careless handling by depositors of cancelled or blank checks or pass books 80 that they fell into the hands of others was the immediate stimulus for hitherto honest people to commit their first criminal offense.” ’ Banks should educate their depositors to exert the same degree of care in handling these instruments and to avoid leaving them about unguarded as they exercise in respect to actual money because they represent money, he declares. .

For dealing with the bank robbery situation, Mr. Baum recommends the use of electrical alarms actuated by any tampering with the wires or mechanism and also wider adoption of the plan of state police forces now employed in a few states, declaring that last year in seven eastern states where state police forces were maintained there were only 20 bank holdups as against 164 similar attacks perpetrated against banks in five states in the central and far west, where banks are denied the advantages of the speedy and coordinated action given by statewide police forces. ; “The records of the American Bankers Association Protective Department reveal that for many years the odds in favor of state police protection have been at least 8 to 1 when measured by the experience of banks in states where efficient police protection lis missing inthe rural districts,” he says.

By JOHN G. LONSDALE President American Bankers - Association THE greatest need of the world today is interpreters of our times —modern Daniels {n agriculture,

known situations are disclosed or puzzling conditions explained in logical light. The American people are so constituted that they can meet and combat any situation once it is known and understood. It is the unknown that comes like the thief in the night and brings disaster. Some one has defined prosperity as something the business men create for the politicians to take credit for. But America’s present-day prosperity can he defined as a product resulting from the business man’s ablility to study and to interpret. Huge corporations maintain research staffs and special bureaus to interpret the times for them. Disaster looms in the offing for any industry that goes blithely on its way day after day without due regard to significant trends in trade and business. : .

| Keeping Up With Change Leaders of finance have discovered - that they cannot remain passive in an age when all the rest of the world is in a transitional stage. The modern ‘banker not only must know about the changing styles in other lines of business, but above all must be alert to the transformations which are taking place in hip own. He must be a man of keener, broader vision, because the order of the day is for larger units of service. Mergers and consolidations have taken place in great numbers. We now talk of billions where a few _years ago we talked of millions, . We have only begun our changee. What disposition is to be made of the many problems that they bring' will depend in large measure upon our -leaders, upon the students and the in_terpreters who can read accurately the signs of the times, so that we may" ' base future actions and hopes upon' their wisdom. The quickest way to go“to the top is to go to the boftom of ‘things, and let us hope that among' ‘them will be found many who will not only aspire to leadership but will be successful in reaching their goal.

TWO GET _PENAL FARM'TERMS,

Chicken Thieves Dealt With Severely . and the Judge Issues a Warn- ~ ing to Others. :

- The attitude of the officers of Noble county toward petty thieving is clearly reflected in the case of the Topeka, and Edwin Clawson 66 of Topeka, and Edwifi Clawsson, 66, of Elkhart township, just west of Topeka. ¢

It will be recalled that on the night of March 11, six chickens were stolen from the farm of John Wihwright of Elkhart township, and sold at Ligonier. - Prosecutor Ralph Probst and Sheriff Wm. Hoffman got busy as soon as the theft was reported, and the chicken thieves were soon in jail. Sentence was pronounced Wednesday each of them getting 90 days at the penal farm and a fine of $1 and costs.

Prosecutor Probst expresses himself as much pleased at the speed with which justice has come to these offenders and refers to the remarks made by the court, in which he said in part: : : ‘ : “I cannot feel that there are sufficient mitigating circumstances surrounding this case to warrant giving lighter sentences, People who have accumulated and surrounded . themselves with something wordly, have a right to go to bed at night and feel secure that some sneak thief in the night will not pilfer them of their property. - g

» “I have more respect for a man,” the court continued, “who will use. a gun to rob a bank than I have for someone who will steal property from old defenseless people in dead of night. : : :

“Chicken thieving in Noble - county must and will be stamped out and any others who may appear before this court on like charges may expect severe penalties.” i

Christian Science Services

“Matter” was the subject of the ‘Lesson-Se nin all Churches of Christ Scienftist on Sunday March, 23. Among the citations which compprised the sson-Sermon’. was the following from the Bible: “For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal ‘mind is enmity against God: for it is }not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be” (Romans 8:5-7). The Lesson-Sermon also included the following citations from the Christian Science textbook, “Science {a.nd Health with Key to the Scripture” by Mary Baker Eddy: “The corporeal sensés‘ are the only source of evil or error. Christian Science shows them to be false because matter has no 'sensation and no organic construction can give it hearing and sight nor !make it the medium of Mind. Outside "the material sense of things, all is harmony” (p. 489). :

Uses of Wire Floor for Brooder House

‘and Sun Porches . | .By Jos. H_Bodwell More and more peoplé &re controll~ ing disease in the poultry tlock by prevention, In the' southern part of New Emngland many of the poultry plants and the soils about them have become contaminated with many different diseases such as coccidiosis, chicken-pox, worms, etc. - The use of clean chickens and new land in a new poultry house has been advocated, tried and proven to be of great value. Many plants have used up all the land available and have already as many brooder houses and poultry houses as they need for their business or as desirahle to use on their plant. + Many of these poultrymen find that even under these new conditions that disease became prevalent again very quickly. This was due to the fact that the old land was not fenced in to prevent people and animals from going across it, thus they took the disease to4he new section. - About the only thing left for many of these men to do is to make conditions such that reinfection is impossible. This can be done by the use of wirefloored sun porches, and wire-floored brooder houses. The objects of the sun porches are to give the birds the benefit of thedirect rays of the sunlight to double the floor space of the brooder house and prevent any chance of disease reinfection, - Wire-floored brooder houses probably prevent disease infection where properly managed, at the least cost of any known method.

There are many suggested methods of constructing the sun porches and floors. The big thing to remember is to build it strong enough so that the attendant "can walk upon it. The wire mesh should be small enough to prevent chickens from going through and large enough so that the droppings will go through without staying on top of the wire for any length of time. The wire floor should be high enough above the board floor or ground to prevent the droppings from colléction and the birds picking up infection from it. Also the floors should be built in such a way that they can be easily taken up and the droppings cleaned out. Precautions must be taken when chicks are fed on wire, the same as any other way but this,is certainly an economical way to prevent diseases from getting started where they are prevalnt. f
