The Milton Bank Failure The mystery surrounding the wrecking of the Farmers' Banking company of Milton has not been cleared in the weeks that have elapsed since its cashier ended his life. The books of

the concern are in such a chaotic condition, it is reported, that many weeks will elapse before all the tangles are unravelled and the receiver is able to make a report to the court. The people of Wayne county are watching the developments closely. The failure of a banking institution, in which hundreds deposited their savings, and in whose officials they had explicit confidence, must be thoroughly probed for the sake of public interst. How the cashier succeeded in squandering thousands of dollars and in hoodwinking the board of directors and the depositors is an example, of the confidence which persons place in some men in the community. When such a person basely betrays his trust, deliberately lies to cover his thefts, and deceives his friends for years, it is natural that confidence is shattered.

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams YOUR JOB TODAY This Is a big world but it Isn't too i nig ror every useful man or woman. The other day, a friend took me thru a great museum. I saw the wax figures of workers of a day several hundred years ago. I saw great rocks with millions of different forms buried in their bulks. I saw skeletons of rnimals so huge that they occupied big rooms by themselves. I saw th evidence of years and years. And I felt like a very small human being. But as I thought It all over, I said to myself that I had a Job to do Just as important as the greatest of the dead and gone. And I said that every man or woman has a job that must needs fit every day. You are very important no matter what your Job and no matter who you are. We all fit into a vast time. Like the seemingly unimportant piccalo player in the large band, every man and his work would be missed if he shirked or did not do his best. The whole is always dependent upon its most insignificant part. If you simply try to go thru your day as easily as possible, if you leave things undone which should have been done, you will have to pay a penalty and everybody, at some time or other, will feel the effect of your careless toll. Do your job well. Do it better than you think anybody else could do it. Imagine a thousand gods looking down upon you! The little coral gives his body to the fireat reef. In like manner be glad to give your heart and soul to the vast work of the world. That is life and that is greatness. Do your job today and be happy in it! Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton THE FISHING TRIP. He took a fair damsel out fishing one day; The trip was not quite a success, by the way. To angle for compliments, such was her wish, But he, funny fellow, was fishing for fish. W. S. Adkins. GREASE PAINT, PERHAPS. "Wash your face correctly; never put water on it." The Delineator. One university in Ohio has built c fine bungalow In a lovely strip of woods and presented it to Edward Stillman Kelly that he may compose music is an ideal and unhampered atmosphere. There Is talk that Percy Mackaye. the poet, may likewise be endowed. These facts prompt the St. St. Joseph Gazette to speculate on the wide rango of possibilities of this plan: It is easy to imagine a plumber withdrawing for solitary meditation and, undisturbed by the harrowing fact that he gets only $12 a day, be think himself of how to do still less work for that pittance; or a printer, waxing bitter over bis lot in having to work full eight hours and receiving therefor only about half again as much pay as the editorial men. A colyumist might perhaps come to a realization of his sins if he were given solitary confinement, and the bungalow-in-the-woods plan might even unearth a conscience to the profiteer. BAD NEWS FOR ABIE THE AGENT. Headline in Sun-Herald: "Bolshevik! Have Captured Minsk." About the only man who ever make money starting a suit is a tailor. The meek are having a discouraging time trying to Inherit the earth. Granting whatever excellence the cave man may display as a wooer, he grows monotonous as a husband, according to the divorce petition of a Topcka woman. She charges that her husband "knocked her down and beal her up, left the house, and presently returned and repeated the entire performance." Sixty dollars a month allrnony and lawyer's fees will be about right as a substitute for this kind ot a husband, she saysDinner Stories "Madam, I was at the front said the tramp. , My poor man. Another victim or that terrible war. Here's a dojlar.

The Milton bank failure, besides proving that a bank official, or any other official, for that matter, cannot escape detection, shows the necessity of insisting on business methods in the transaction of your financial affairs. Friendship may go far, but it is always a sound and tested principle to insist that friendship cease when business matters are under consideration. The hard and fast rules of business must prevail then. If the hundreds of . depositors of the Milton bank, without doing the cashier an injustice, had insisted upon the use of ordinary banking methods, the cashier would not have been able to trifle with the bank's affairs for years without detection.

The

Without minimizing the importance of the measures that resulted in calling the special session of the legislature, it may truthfully be said that the people of Indiana will be glad when that body adjourns. The bickering that has held up adjournment of the general assembly this week ha3 disgusted the average citizen. The fight on the tax bill has been waged with relentless fury from the very day the measure was introduced, winding up in a disagreement between the houses. Irrespective of the merits of the measure, in which all of us are interested, the people of Indiana have become weary of the dilatory tactics of the two houses and of the factions that have been engendered.

Tell me how you got Into these straits." Bald the kind-hearted lady. "I was going to say that I was at the front door an' nobody answered, so I came around to the back. Thankee, mum." The temporary waiter looked the part to perfection. He was tall and slim and bowed quite gracefully. Mrs. Smithjones, who had employed him to impress her friends, felt quite elated. He gave a real "tone" to her party. But there's always some cloud in tbe sky, isn't there? As the waiter handed a plate of soup to Uncle Walter the old gentleman eyed him angrily. "Look out, you idiot!" he stormed. "Don't you see you've got your thumb in my soup?" "That's all right, sir!" replied the waiter casually. "It isn't burning me. It's not nearly as hot as it looks.". Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Ago Today An automobile to carry visitors to and from the Reid Memorial hospital was purchased by the board of trustees of the hospital.
