I f ? WHY BASICS? ■ -:.r.-i nc By j.

MONEY SA V ED AND DEPOSITED IN BANK m funds for the banker to Joan OBt on farm mortgages, land bank or other farm bonds; railroad, municipal or government bonds; or notes- of farmers, merchants and manufacturers. Therefore SAVING ** assisting the farmer to raise crop*; the railroads to run trains; the town, City, state or nation to build schools for the children of the depositor and his fellow citizens; or com 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 make shoes, clothing and the many things people need to life. Every saver, therefore, is not only putting away money against a 1rainy day and earning interest on it meanwhile, hut 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 on his money. J. H. Puellcher STRAIGHT TALKS i WITH AUNT EMMY 7 ON HOW NOT TO GET RICH "Oh, Aupt Emmy.” cried Helen, rushing in and kissing A;mt 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 year1. With it bees will make two or three times as much ■phoney. If I bYy it right away I can .make ever so much money, for the etock is selling at fifty cents and it's going to par soon, whatever that is, - go I'll have oodles of money. Oh, Aunty, won’t it be lovely? You and I can go to Europe and—” “Hold on a minute, Helen,” begged Aunt Emmy; “would you really let ;thls man have your money for a fool thing like that?” “Why, Aunty, I’m sure It is all right! He gave me the loveliest booklet—I brought It along. You are lo auspicious, Aunty,” she reproached, “Suspicious, am I! That $5,000 is •the, only money you ever had or ever •xpect to have except what'you earn as' a teaqher. 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 sev­ eral days, and the man said not to ;wait,” Helen protested, “If people would wait & while be- ’.fore investing, there would be far less failures in the world. You will hear from the bankf soon enough,. ’Promise.” - “I suppose I’ll have to,” t ’jxeed Helen, crestfallen, "but, l‘m sure the old bank doesn’t want to be bothered with poor little me.” When Helen came to see Aunt Em- . my 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 * report on the patent bee-hive. The letter said that the men eDgagod 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 «nd suggested some safe ones. I never.understood the bank's value be, fore. If It had not been for you and Die bank I should not have a cent to­ day, 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.-—A nns B, A ymes . ®u. &u. Francis H- Sisson A Chance to Shine *T*HB young man of today need * not leave the farm for a ca­ reer. True, present conditions arc 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 up­ grade. We have only begun to solve our agricultural problems.' There is e large unexplored field ahead ef us. The young man with brains and a sympathetic heart can find ample opportunities for making a name for himself on the farm. In addressing a national group of young people recently, President Head, of the American Bankers Association, said he believes the opportunities for making a name at a leader in agriculture are greater than-mftkinp a name in the petition of a Congressman. Ha thinks the day is coming when a man shall take pride in saying, "I am an American farmer,” Any young man who has a lik­ ing for things rural can well af­ ford 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.- Hanker-Farmer. For Community Betterment The Committee on Agriculture of the1Missouri State Bankers Associa­ tion has seht ont a questionnaire to all members to secure a frank opin­ ion as to what are the moat impor­ tant community problems to be solved in the state. The questionnaire cov­ ets bank deposits, crops, schools, manufacturing, roads, junior club work, agricultural agencies, co-opera- tlve, agencies, farm abandonment, land values, finances, dairying, and so­ cial life, with a view in determining what work should be undertaken lot the year. T h e KITCHEN CABINET Bkmes Cigarettes fbr Her Death A M E R I C A N O T I N D I F F E R E N T By FRANCIS H. SISSON, Chairman, Public Relations Com­ mission, American Bankers Association, While the facts justify the belief that the financial and general eco­ nomic strength of the United States Is so great that it creates a stability here, which cannot .be ’ s e r i o u s l y shaken b f the ad-: verse; conditions in’ Europe, it still remains true that aft attitude 'of in­ difference rto these distressing condi­ tions is unworthy of the American people. In fact, I believe that such Indifference does not exist. The na­ tion 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 suit­ able opportunity is afforded. Our people have naturally been re- - luctant to act while the European na­ tions still fall to display the will to accept the only terms on which re­ habilitation is possible, and to aban­ don, their mutual hatreds and dis­ trusts, their persistence' In prepara­ tion for further warfare, and their destructive political and financial policies. Such policies have So weak­ ened the credit of some of the con­ tinental nations that the task of aid­ ing them seems futile until it is clear that these policies are discredited and disowned by them. .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 dis­ aster to the conditions created by iEuropean depression, and has .in its own vast domestic market, and in other non-European markets an out­ let for its products adequate to main­ tain a fair degree of national pros­ perity. the fact remains that it is very definitely to the selfish interests of the United States to have Great Brit­ ain and the European continental countries regain their normal pros­ perity 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. 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 pe­ riod of- difficulty General well-bt ng 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 valu­ able products. It possesses vast re­ sources of skill and equipment for the production of useful commodities in demand by all nations} and loss con­ tinues while these resources are limit­ ed in their use by poverty and by ad­ verse 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 mads to restore the European nations to economic and financial health. i-jp, I*;*, Wester.

For a quick cake wh i c h eliminates t h e slaw process of creaming the butter and adding the sugar gradually, a good cake may be made in half the time. But all the ingredients together aa follows; Break: the eggs, add Die sugar, the butter warmed but not melted, flour sifted with baking powder, added al­ ternately with the milk, the. beating dona when all the mixing is over; beat well for five minutes, using a large egg beater or beat In a cake tnlxer. In ' baking cake which should be baked forty minutes, dtvid the time into quarters, The .first quarter the cake should begin to rise, the second quarter it should finish rising and be- , gin to brown, the third quarter or when it has been In the oven thirty minutes, It should bewell-browned and the last ten minutes it finishes cook­ ing and shrinks from the pan. It is a good practice to thrust a .toothpick info the center of a cake; If the tooth­ pick seems dry the cuke will be done.' Another test is to hold the cake near enough the ear to notice any sound of cooking; if it sings slightly let it re­ main a short, time longer in the oven. The sponge cake which is lightened entirely by beaten eggs Is the founda­ tion for jelly rolls, lady fingers, angel1 food and sunshine cakes. These are the most easily digested cakes and the best for young children. The following is a form of cake which Is very popular and is, often, used for dessert: . Krimmel Tortu.—Beat the whites of six eggs until stiff, add one cupful of sugni-—a little at a time, one-half pound of dates cut into bits, one-half pound of walnut meats cut fine, three tnbleppoonfuls of brend crumbs and ju tenspoonful of baking powder, with a little vanilla for flavoring. Bake In layers nnd serve crumbled up with whipped crenin. sweetened and fla­ vored. ■ . ■ T l t u A /V W iv t fd .
