WE D SAY Syracuse’s defeat by Mentone Saturday ' morning, in - the sectional basketball tournament was not only a blow to Syracuse’s hopes, but also a shock to many of the fans’ sense of honesty and fair play. No reflection is directed towards the Mentone players, who throughout the tournaament played hard, clean basketball. - Some criticism however, is being directed towards the management of the tournament and towards the referees, both collectively and individually. The criticism is: Why was the blowing of whistles on the part of the spectators tolerated? Blowing of whistles at a basketball game by other than officials tends to distract , the players, for they cannot distinguish between the whistles of the officials and the whistles in the mouths of spectators. In the Syracuse-North Webster' half-hearted demand was | made by the referee, asking that no: whsties be blown by the spectators. I This was done after some Syracuse! players had stopped playing, think-: tng that an official’s whistle had been blown. ' The sensible thing for the management to have done then would have been to put »ul* anyone in the crowd with a whistle. There were policemen en.ough standing around All that was needed was determination. In the Syracuse-Mentone game, with only a few seconds left to play.Syracuse players, and a good many of the spectators, declare that a whistle, thought to be the referee’s was blown. Syracuse players thought' the referee had blown his whistle, for a jump ball; and so stepped away from it. A Mentone player, either because he did . not hear the whistle or because he had greater presence of mind, seized the ball and tossed it into the basket, winning the game, the referee declared. The decision made by the referee stands, but what Syracuse fans would like tn’know is, who blew that whistle? ' When questioned, the referee sale “that he d'dp't ■ k:w-w Os any. one blowing any whb'.if." W hich is pos . sible. . —;. WAITING ‘FOR till: SNOW PLOW After every heavy snow, Syracuse and surrounding community remain snow bound for days, which causes suffering and hardship. The country to the north of us | fares better than the rest <<f the community in case of sr;ow stortqs, for Elkhart county snow plows open the road to Syrac-use The first one came to Syracuse. Sunday morning, the first day after the bfifkard. Every direction from Syracuse not served by an Elkhart county road plow gets to remain snow bound for days. On Tuesday a plow opened the road Jo North Webster and Milford Wednesday noon, five days after the snow started, the county truck .reached Syracuse.and started to clear roads around both sides of the lake. The Kosciusko County trucks and ' plows can never be in all the places at once, and immediately after a heavy snow, we’ll grant, but com-' menta this week heard on every hand were that Syracuse and vicinity were the last to be taken care of as usual. Os course its necessary to clear main roads first. But a snow plow could be kept in Syracuse by the county, for use in case of heavy\ snowfalls. Or a plow could be kept

STEPHENSON President American Bankers Association While upon the individual bankers there rests without qualification the direct responsibility for the prudent,-hon-

est conduct of their institutions, nevertheless the soundness of banking as a practical matter of fact is a community problem In which the public has a part to play as well as bankers J and government ‘ officials charged with the superHe* Ire

„ . vision of banks. R. C STEPHENSON , . . _ . In the first place, the assets of a bank, outside its government bonds, consist mainly of loans to business men and of investments in securities created by corporate enterprises. The deposits of a bank are not kept in the vaults as idle cash but are employed in these loans and investments to earn the money to pay the expenses of the bank go that it can render services to its customers and also pay them interest on such deposits as bear interest. If there were no such thing as unsound I business men or enterprises there would bg no such thine as unsound assets in a bank. It is of course the unquestioned duty of the banker to choose only sound | loans and ttt the diffij culty of such judgment, and human ' judgment is never Infallible, is plainly • increased in such times and under such i conditions as we have .been passing ' through, with many businesses not making expected earnings and there- ' fore hampered in meeting their obliga- | tion*. Unfortunately "some invest- | ments and'loans created by persons outside the banks which found their way into the banks in a relatively few Instances have reflected the unwise business policies and conditions that became more than usually prevalent in outLbusiness activities and contribute d to the difficulty pt banking. The vast hulk, of bank assets, however, are 100 per cent sound above all question. "Hard Boiled - ’ vs. “Easy” Banker In another aspect the people of the community have a part to play in maintaming the soundness of their banks. • ’and that is through the medium of patronage. The existence of a bank is dependent on public patronage. If only, those banks were patronized in which the n. st careful policies were practiced and the most conscientious ■and able men in charge, it would go far toward maintaining the standards of banking. If business men in a community when refused loans by their banks tor good and sufficient reasons because conditions are not favorable, thereupon withdraw their business to banks where less careful methods pre- , ' ey cl laxly contribute to the cre:itl. n of a h-ss sound banking sijTiation. Also if, in jhe heat of competition, a banker offers higher interest rates or more free service to attract customers than the earnings of conservative banking justify, and is encouraged by the patronage of the public as against a more conservative bank, obviously the public is again playing a part in bringing about a less sound banking .Cuat'in. It is aa unfortunate 8 fact that the banker who is strict, “hard boiled'’ it you please, is liable to be less popular than the “easy” banker, and by that same token the public itself has a voice in influencing the character of banking. Also it is the public • in the end which pays the main part of the penalty if unfortunate results follow. . Still again the public can exert an :r.fl :;ce in shaping the character of j banking by supporting the purposes of ' bankers to maintain intelligent, inde- | pendent, honest banking supervision by .the public banking departments through insisting that this function of i government shall be kept as free from political influence as the judiciary itself and shall be manned only by men of the highest ability and character. In still another way can the people themselves contribute to maintaining the ability of their banks to meet their obligations, and this is by granting them the fullest possible confidence. As I said, the deposits are not kept as xasiutot C2ffXnu2:-ted In loans and *er

COOLIDGE SERVES WHEAT

Former President Coolidge believes in eating wheat, as a cereal. He reiy entertained the Federal Farm Soard for breakfast at which wheat N id rye porridge was the cereal serfed. Now a new interest seems to be revived in this ancient dish. Wheat is inexpensive, has the ad- \ antage of satisfying the appetite ■.nd is an excellent source of many ements so necessary for good nutriion. ' ' ■ ' ■ ' It is attractive not only as a cereal >ut combined with other foods such s meat, fish or vegetables, may be lived as the main dish of the meal; :f properly cooked it will retain its hape, and has a. flavor similar to hat of nuts. The following . are some ways of ooking wheat which may be served is a breakfast cereal or combined vith other foods. Methods of Cooking Whole Wheat. Sort the whole wheat grains and vast thoroughly. For .each cup of wheat add I’ 2 cups of water and <>ak over night. ■. curities. Even the soundest assets of this type require some time to reconvert at full value into cash deposits. In many cases of bank troubles the only thing wrong with a bank was an unduly suspicious and apprehensive state of mind in its customers created by no act or condition of its own but by baseless rumors which sometimes led them to destroy the-value of their own deposits by demanding them immediately, forcing a bank to sacrifice Its assets and otherwise disrupt its financial operations.

Secretary Hyde has sought the ass sistance and cooperation of leading citizens in the states because he believes that the maximum benefit to t the local community can be realized, s- only by the largest possible contributions of local capital and by the best d attainable local management of the ■s credit corporations. ?, Applications for funds should be e made to the State committees, whose d adresses follow: if!
