Careful checking of the various lists of survivors of the Arabis, as given out in London, Washington and New York late last night, showed that all passengers listed by the White Star line as Americans on board the vessel had been saved. It is possible that some Americans boarded the liner 89 she was about to sail and were carried on the list given out by the White Star line as of other nationalities. The White Star line received word at 2:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon from its Liverpool office that the liner had been sunk by a German submarine this morning off the south coast of Ireland. Press dispatches from London had told of the sinking an hour before.

Another message said the steamer had aboard 130 cabin passengers and forty-five in the steerage. The story came through a few words at a time.

NICHOLS INSURANCE AGENCY Pretty Ilillie Rhodes in a Screaming One of the most profitable and sue-, cessful farm products in this section is the sweet potato, the best for table use being the yellow yam. Some fine have temporary use for money.

It Is evident that this makes large sums In tha aggregate available for the employment of labor and the development of the community. Hut 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 oue aide 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, Its only use of money being for small to labor and otherwise. If therowere but one bank In a community and everybody paid all bills by drawing checks on that bank, and everyone receiving a check Immediately 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 la but slightly changed when there are several banks, for they dally exchange among themselves all the checks they receive on each other, which practically offset themselves, i 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 dally 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 money, and of course Ills own credit must be above question. He exchanges his credit for the credit! acquired by the customers, and lends credit for their accommodation, but he must conduct the business with such 1 judgment that be can always meet his own obligations with cash on demand. This is the essential thing about bank credit, that It shall alwayi be the lame as cash." I Nestor Comedy, WHEN FATHER HAD THE GOL'T.
