COLE BEFORE HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS On Tuesday morning Robert W. Cole, W. R. Lay and A. J.

Croley attended tho High School Chapel ex- lUicioca ill iiiu iiitutuab ui ujiiiwuib education or thrift. Mr. Cole addressed the pupils In accordance with a line of education in usefulness of banks determined upon at the recent meeting of tho American Bankers' Association held In New York nnd which was attended by the great flnancers of this country and by many from other countries. I Mr. Colo discussed In simple language that could bo followed easily by the pupils, 1st What Is a bank? It Is not simply a place to get money.

lit Is an institution which serves a community. I How organized? By tho people buying stock until $25,000, for a national bank or $15,000 for a state bank, has been deposited. Thus the bank is an institution belonging to the peoplo. They are fitted upto to make them secure with safes and vaults. How Is a bank managed? You can put your money In a bank and get It out the next day or any time.

How then do thoy have any money to pay salaries and expenses Experience shows that not all the depositors will take out their money at once and altho some withdraw theirs others mako new deposits. Thu3 there Is always money on hand. This money Is loaned out to business men who pay Interest and thus make their Income with whloh to pay expenses and pay dividends to tho stockholders. Valuo of a checking account. It Is a fact that only 7 of the business of the United States Is done with tho actual money, tho rest be-ln done by tho use of checks.

By their use business Is made simpler. An endorsed oheck is a receipt that an account has been paid. Always use the samo signature so It can be recognized by the bank officials. Tho bank Is tho loser If tho check Is paid to tho wrong person so great caro Is taken to prevent mistakes. A saving deposit or a certificate of deposit cannot bo checked against.

Thrift accounts are made up of small sums. Learn toJMeny yourself In gomo things. The habit of savlug grows. Evoryone wants to bo successful and success depends on self-dental. CHRISTIAN CHURCH Sunday, Nov.
