The trimmer was completely

on the south side of the mill.
Thia trimmer is air controlled and

TO BUILD
M o r a l E ffe c t o f a B a n k A c c o u n t
(By John M. Oskison.)
“A bank ia built to keep money in -and your pockets
are so arranged that you spend it.” To thia effect
spoke a farmer who was being interviewd by a writer
for a banking magazine. Before the farmer made his
discovery that it is easier to spend money out of your
pockets than money in a bank account, he followed this
“p i ^ n T O m t e i T i t n —
~~
“I made money; a lot of it I carried around with me,
and the rest I left at home. Somehow or another I
never got ahead. I couldn’t understand it. I blamed
the weather, the crops, the market—the tariff, blamed
everything but m yself.”
Then the farmer got his idea. At the time he had
just $20 dollars above his immediate needs. He started
his bank account with just $10^ that $10 stuck, and he
began to add to the account He said'to the interview
er:
‘‘With cash in the bank I was able to take advantage
of opportunity when it came my way. Opportunity
takes off its hat to the man with cash. The more mon
ey you have the more opportunities you have. I notice
opportunity doesn’t hang around the pooi-house.
‘‘1 got that field over there cheap because I had the
cash in the bank to pay for i t Pretty, isn’t it? And
it pays, too!”
There is a definite moral effect produced by starting
a bank account; you feel under obligation both to the
bank and to yourself to make that bank account grow...
It is like undertaking some bit-of work in which you
take a pride—you don’t want to fail. There is a posi
tive stimulation in success. If you make that bank ac
count grow normally, you are not only going to be rich
er, but you are also going,to be stronger and more ca
pable.
Opportunities which open out to the owner of a bank
account mean two things to him. First they show him
the way to make more money. That may or may not
be a good thing. Better, they show him a way to be-
coftie more active, more alert, more useful, If he can
take advantage of opportunities to make his bank ac
count enlarge his field o f work and interests he will
help to set up higher standards of achievement in his
community.
‘
So your bank account becomes a moral bracer.
