Coast Uankur) Quilt- frugufntly we hour the coun irv buukiT allude to Mb udverlUo mciRt in hln liuiiif-titwa lapr an though it wir a charity which h gllVU tO BUppOrt IUO t'UiUl", UUU wiuvu h cuuiUen-a with even 1 enthu siasm than he ilora hla contribution to foreign mi.sHioiiH or the payment of. his taxea. That in a Very much to be rugrett d view of the ubjttcl, and U 1h the banker rather man me eui tor who in to bluuie if the advertise niftti 1h wortbluHH. Every ui-waiiaper, no matter how Riuull the town, has some readers. and aa a rule the country papr ia far more thoroughly and carefully read than the city duily. If, however, the advertihementa are never chatted and ihe type finally gta so worn that it in Impoanible to tell what it an nounced originally, naturally it in not read with avidity by the regular weekly reader, who has aeon it hunu rcda of times and knowa it an well as be due the beading and title of the bhect. Hut wo all realize that the public net'da education in bankinK, and we venture the aaaert ion that there is noi a papt-r publlHhed which ban Dot Home among its readers who wouia tie benefit led by knowing more about banks and banking 'nan they do. They are the people whom the bank er in hla advert moment should aeek to ullrutt. If be does, he will not find bin advertisement so much of a charily proposition as ho thought it was, because there is no community in which the hanking as well as other buHtneKS could not be improved if the right steps were takeu to bring about that Improvement. If our country banker, for Instance, would use his spare weekly In a series of heart-to-heart talks upon banking. whitt It is, why It is. and the ad- vautiiget that accrue to the commun ity from having a bank in Its midst, be would be doing himself and the community a big service. If he were to point out that the bank is really the clearing-house for tho district: that the banker Is not loaning his individual funds, but is loaning the accumulated savings and funds of the community; that all are Interested in swing the hank succeed because Its success Is tho success of (he whole town, and Ms failure the destruction of ImHinnns generally; that not only those who have ac counts in the hank are benefitted by Its presence, hul all t hose who live within the rndlus of its activity; that keeping an aecnunt Is the safest and best way to keep your money and pay your Mils; that the bank wants to servo the women and children as well us (he f;ii Iht and business man; that it would be ti good thing for the Community if all It money passed through the bank, and all its trans actions wen made by chock over its counters. If, we nay, all those facts wero pointed out. It could not fall to be a beneficial lesson for the readers and the bank. Instead of passing over the bank's ad ertisement ns something of no Interest or Importance, the advertise ment would be a mailer of general Interest weekly to the renders, and they would look for tt with as much avidity as they do the fact that "M is. J. Simpson visited our town last week." or "Mr. and Mrs. John I'oe paid their daughter Kmtly, Mrs. l'eter Itoe, n visit hist Sunday." It Is surprising how many persons think tlisi all the money in the bunk belongs personally to Iho banker. It would astonish tho average news paper render to learn that, an a mat ter of fact, the banker is the biggest debitor m the community, owe evervle dv. or as nearly everybody as be can persuade everybody to deposit his funds with him. If the public knew more about banking the people would have more con tl deuce in It than ihey have, and that is especial ly true of the farming and agricul tural coit.muniib s. It should be n pleasure, a; uniuesf Innnbly tt would be to the profit of rhe rural banker, to remove lhat lark of confidence, and that he can not hy any surer and ho'h r meaiw than by using the columns of his hmie-lon paper as we h.ive suggested. ;i:iiM . mi sic.

Nothing Cerman c utM have been tolerated at that ti; ie; but now that the tires of war have ebbed, it Is proper to make dh-tinction. Most of the great music of (iemiiiny was written either be fore the 1'russian military develop ment of the last forty years, or was written by men whoso belief wore directly antagonistic to the military fjpint. Wagner, Schubert. Schumann, liaeh, Hr.ih bs. Ib-ot hoven one ran but fitiile st the i a of rrussianNm In conneetion with any of them. There is one mistake that ought not to be repeated, when those great onea are taken from the closet once luore to occupy ihefr iopor places. ! The superstition that all Gorman music Is good Just boauso it is C.er-i i n it ri should never be revived.

It has civen a stimulus to the composi tion of real American music. So Ioiik as Americans follow the German methods, they wroto no pood music nor any national music. When they began to dare to be themselves, they began to produce good stuff. Very little good music has come out of tormauy In the last forty years. Hut during that time there have been Puccini, Iebussy, Saint Saens. and the Russian makers of tremendously vital music whoso name is lotion. Then have been MacUowell. Cad- man, Foote and a host of other fel-tlow-citixens of ours, none of whom. except Mac Dowel), have worn the mantle of genius, but most of whom have turned out one or two compo sitions fit to bear the hih name American. With tho filing yesterday In Cie secretary of state's office by District Attorney Ueorgo Neuner. Jr., his ac ceptance of the office of district at torney for Douglas county, to which official capacity he was recently lectod without opposition, brings to mlud tho ncord of a young man wtio has served the taxpayers of this county and state In a faithful and business-like manner. Mr. Neuuer's career In public life started with his lection as representative to the leg islature, serving during the term of 1911, and in Ihe year 1913 he was chosen aa senator, and In both these official capacities the interests of his constituents were faithfully eunhd out. He was first appointed to the office of district attorney by the gov- rnor. his election following on two different occasions since t hat t inn, placing to his credit six consecutive nra aa prosecuting attorney of Douglas county. To 'him falls the responsibility of carrying out and enforcing the law as it applies to the city and county at large, as well as hrectlng and advising in further ance of many county problems of a complicated nature. In all these mai lers his judgment has been such that he has attained for himself a reputa tion for efficiency us a public official that Is sure to redound to his sucee-w in the future, as well as to those who have ho generously supported him during his public career. A speaker addressing an audience of I'ustnesH men asked them how much money thoy bad in I heir pot k 'is. 1 Here were b4u men present and hi y averaged a little over T Piece. That may not seem much for man to carry around with him. Most of the men did not think it much Hut the total amount of cas'i in that room was $27,000 It was all idle money, in a city, where, at a moment buslnesa was supposed to ho starving for lack of credit "This seems to mo," paid the speaker, ' far more pocket money than is necessary in a community where tho mechan ism of credit Is so highly develop ed as it ta In this Spread the gof-pel of getting along wtih as little monev as possihle That will raise the lev. I of money n tho banks, no that those who need it can get the use of it " M.e waa right Almost everyone of tho men had a checking account, and could have used checks for near ly all hia expenditures instead or cash Ohecha are not only a personal convenience, but are ir admirable device for enlarging the volume of cah and cndit available for use m the community. no LAiioit srmus There is much talk of unemploy ment, but as a mttter of fact it is a rare community where any large number of unenfployed men can be found anil these are communities lacking in varied ind ust r lea. Most of iho workers laid off have found lobs immediately elsewhere, not at their former wages, perhaps, but at wages high enough to give them a good living. When the country as a wholo Is considered, Is is question able, whether, strictly wpeaklng, there is any unemployment at all. There are probably as many jobs seeking men as there are men seek it g jobs. If this is true now. when the farms need less labor than at any other time of tho year and the fact Ib vouched for by the National Indus- trial Conference Hoard--how will it bo n tho spring of the year? Agri culture requires an immense supply of labor. During the war and since, it has gone short handed. Its needs are not fully met, not even during the recent harvest season. The coun try can st til absorb many hundreds of thousands of work els. ami will absorb t hem as rapidly as t hey are releaie! from the industries whose excess:e',y hit-h wages and over-tlm opportunities have lured them away There are many other minor occu pations that are still short. Alto gether, the number of industrial workers capable of absorption by the larms and small towns may run Into millions And industry itself, will soon in od more tii'Mi. It should not bo forgotten that tho Iiumicration on which the na tion formerly rolled to supply the labor for its growing industries, was lacking for five years, and tho de ficit, despiie ihe recent uprising of the immigrant tide, is far from bo lug made up. Thus with business a little bit below normal, there is yet enough work for everybody. When industrv resumes full activity, as it is expected 10 do in the spring, and when lh" country demands Its quota of help for the spring planting, there Is more than likely to be a shortage than u surplus.
