A word to the strenuous is suf
ficient—if you call him a liar.
In an argument, some people
never give in and some never give
out. _
Some people like to talk so well
that it does not make any differ
ence what they say.
Hard work and intelligent effort
is the only step ladder to things
worth while.
Nobody with good legs and ac
tive mind waits for the jitneys of
time and tide.
Some men are dominant forces
in any crowd. But then some men
make opportunity while others
wait for opportunity to make them.
In a majority of cases the man
who whines that he is driven to

standing around with a bridle on

A CATAlOnC CBffO.
We believe in our country—The
United States of America. We
believe in her Constitution, her
laws, her institutions and the prin
ciples for which she stands. We
believe in her future, the past is
secure. We believe in her vast re
sources, her great possibilities—
yes, more, her wonderful certain
ties.
We believe in the American peo
ple, their genius, their brain and
their brawn. We believe in their
honesty, their integrity and de
pendability. We believe that noth
ing can stand in the way of their
commercial advancement and
prosperity.
We believe that what are termed
“times of business depression” are
but periods of preparation for
greater and more pronounced suc
cess.
And we believe that in our coun
try are being worked out greater
problems, the solution of which will
be for the benefit of all mankind.
CONSCIOUS GOODNESS.
When we become conscious that
what we do or say is well done, or
well said or good, we begin to go
back. Self-criticism is good. Self
enthusiasm is a weakness. A bad
little boy is one whose self-esteem
teaches him that he is smarter
than his playmates, and he tries to
show off. Habitual criminality is
egotism—a distorted view of the
criminal’s cleveness. If God could
realize his perfection, He would
not be God. He would be imper
fect. Many reformers are reform
ers through their conscious good
ness. Admitting their own correct
lives, they would force others by
law to live as they do. No artist
is truly great who is satisfied with
his work. No woman is beautiful
who is conscious of her beauty.
Heaven would not be heaven if the
saints and angels realized the de
grees of their goodness. Conscious
goodness is the beginning of an
evil end. It worships itself at the
front cf the temple. It is the
eclipse over the sun of growth.

The total number of blind persons
in the world is estimated at 2,390,
000. The ratio of blind persons to
total population is greater in New
Mexico and Nevada than in any
other states, owing to the larger

Scientific experiments have de
monstrated that, contrary to the
general belief, the yellow color of
cream and butter is not necessarily
an indication of their richness. It
was discovered !ong*ago that most
vegetable matter contains a yellow
substance called “carotin,” because
it exists abundantly in carrots. It
is this substance contained in the
cow's feed that gives rise to the
color of milk and butter. Carotin
is most abundant in the green for
age avalable in spring and summer
so that milk and butter produced
then are more yellow than in the
winter, although the percentage of
fat in winter milk often is actually
higher than in the rich-looking
product obtained in summer.
It is said that common iron nails
are now successfully used by sur
geons in the repair of broken and
fractured bones. The nails which
are used to hold the pieces in place
while the healing process goes on,
are soon covered with a sort of
rust-resisting membrane and their
presence occasions no trouble or jll
effects. Sioux City. Iowa, sur
geons report cases in which nails
and even iron stovepipe wire have
been used for this purpose.

From England to Russia.
Intercourse between Russia and
England began in the middle of the
sixteenth century by the one route
that is still open, via the White sea.
It was a hazardous and costly voyage,
the London Chronicle observes. The
crews of two of the three ships with
which Richard Chancellor made his
first trip in 1553 were frozen to
death, Sir Hugh Willoughby among
them. On his’second venture, in
1556, Chancellor brought back with
him a Russian ambassador, Osip Ne
jea. Two of the ships were never
heard of again, and the Edward Bona
ventura, after four months at sea,
was wrecked on the Scottish coast.
Chancellor, many of the crew and
seven Russians perished, but Osip
Nejar was among the survivors, and
the English lords and merchants went
out in state beyond Shoreditch to wel
come this “duke of Muscovia.”
Simple Remedy.
A simple but efficacious steam rem
edy for cold in the head and hoarse
ness is to inhale steam from a sponge
dipped in boiling water. Cover the
sponge with boiling water, wrap a
towel around it so that you can hold
the ends of the towel instead of the
scalding sponge. Bury your nose and
mouth in the covered sponge and
breathe through nose and mouth.
' When the sponge loses heat, remove
the towel and pour on some more boil
ing water.
Cold compress is an excellent and
easy cure for sore throat. Wrap cloths
wrung out in iced water round the
throat and renew as soon as they
grow warm.
OUR PUBLIC FORUM
IV—F. A. Vanderlip
On The Business ot Banking
The farmers of this nation to come into their own
must study business. We must, as a class, understand
the fundamental principles that underlie every industry,
its functions to society and its relation to agriculture, for
there can be no intelligent co-operation without under
standing. Mr. F. A Vanderlip, president of the National
City Dank of New York, when asked, "What is a bank?’’
said in part:
"The first and most familiar function of a bank is
that of gathering up the idle money of a community,
small sums and large, and thus forming a pool or reser
voir upon which responsible persons may draw as they
have temporary use for money. It is evident that this makes large sums in the
aggregate available for the employment of labor and the development of the
community. But much more is accomplished than the use of the money
actually deposited in the banks, for by the use of drafts, checks and bank
notes the efficiency of money is multiplied several times over. A very large
business, for example one of the great beef packers, may use very little
actual money; on one side of its bank account will be entered the checks
and drafts it is daily receiving from everywhere in payment for meats,
while on the other side will be entered the checks it draws in payment for
cattle, etc., its only use of money being for small payments, to labor and
otherwise.
If there were but one bank in a community and everybody paid all
bills by drawing checks on that bank, and everyone receiving a check imme
diately deposited it in the bank, the amount of money in the bank evidently
would not change at all and the entire business of the community would be
settled on the books of the bank. And the situation is but slightly changed
when there are several banks, for they daily exchange among themselves all
the checks they receive on each other, which practically ofTset themselves,
although the small balances are paid in cash. This is called ‘clearing’ and
in every large city there is a ‘Clearing House’ where representatives of the
banks meet daily to settle their accounts with each other
A bank is constantly receiving from its customers, particularly those that
are shipping products to other localities, drafts and checks drawn on banks
in other cities, which it usually sends for deposit to a few correspondent
banks in the central cities with which it maintains permanent accounts. In
this way these scattered credits are consolidated and the bank draws upon
these accounts in supplying customers with the means of making payments
away from home. As each local community sells and buys about the same
amount abroad in the course of a year, these payments largely offset each
other. It is evident that the banks are very intimately related to the trade
and industry of a country. The banker is a dealer in credit much more than
a dealer in money, and of course his own credit must be above question. He
exchanges his credit for the credits acquired by the customers, and lends
credit for their accommodation, but he must conduct the business with such
judgment that he can always meet his own obligations with cash on demand.
This is the essential thing about bank credit, that it shall always be the
same as cash.”
