FROST DAMAGE IN WASHINGTON SEVERE Olympia, Wash. — That the frost damage to fall wheat in eastern Wash ington. doe to severe winter freesing. was decidedly spotted, but from pres ent indications would aggregate a very heavy lose to the growers, was the report brought beck from Spokane by R R. White, assistant supervisor of agriculture of the atate department. In the northern part of the wheat belt, aaid Mr. White, there wag suf- 'ficient snow to give the necessary protection and prevent heaving of the ground and winter kill. Practical- । i ly all other sections, however, suffer ed more or leas severely. 1 " The wheat belt as a whole, how . ever, has aufered heavily, in some [ , sections it being estimated at 100 ¡ per cent kill. r- It is almost unprecedented for rye and alfalfa to wlnt«r kill, yet both crops have suffered severely in cer tain localities. Although it Is too early to detarmine the full amount of damage to alfalfa, it la already ap parent that it will b« aevere enough to- affect materially the local price of alfalfa next tall. ,500 acres bad been About sown to wheat tn thia sute. Roughly estimating, on the face of preaent report«, that at leagt 50 per cent of th« acreage will have to be reseeded, a vary heavy loss results. Netherlands Insurance Company Of London. England.

I'd give up my seat to a lady In a street ear, but net In the United State« senate.* The Dalles, .Oregon SYNOPSIS OF THE ANNUAL ST A TV MENT OF THE I l li IH U H I I f MOTOR OIL manufacturing and business centers A great mass of foreigners come here and get together in groups, but they do not get any real touch of Ameri canism. They are just as Jewish and just as Italian ten or twenty years after they come here as they were the day they came, because nobody appears to take any particular inter est in them. But when an institution like a savings bank begins to take an Interest in the problems of the peo pie. to let them feel that here is a group of people engaged In a business that is willing to listen to them, their troubles, their trials, is willing to ad vise them, willing to steer them straight, willing to be sort of Big Brother to them, I do not think there is any better Americanization work than that being done. That is the kind of work the pro gressive savings bank is starting on,— telling people that if they will coms to them with their troubles they will be glad to give them the best disin terested advice, to do things for them free, that otherwise they would be charged for by somebody. They are willing to advise them when they get a little more money than the savings bank can take care of, what they can invest it in, or in some cases what not to invest it in. If the savings and commercial banks all over the < country adopt that particular attitude toward l our foreign fellow-cltisens, it will give them an entirely different view of American Ism. It'Is this changed attitude that has resulted in the tremendous growth of deposits that have taken place ir the savings banks since the war There has been a different spirit breathed into the relations between the depositors and the men on the other side of the counter. A. M. HICKS MM USE Until a tew years ago savings benLd were extremely austere insti tution». They were founded to do the kindliest thing in the world, that to take care of the savings of poor people, but they did It in a t repellent way. They did not extend to their banking business any of the courte sies or any of the William E. Knox amenities of lite whatever. They simply took the money, did the depositor the favor of taking it. and gave It back to him when he wanted it. And then they considered their full duty done. The tellers and clerks treated the deposdprs as though they were entire ly beneath them. 1. myself, beard a de positor, an old Irishwoman, say to a teller who had been snappish with her; "Then you better keep a civil tcngue in your head. It is the likes of me that keeps the likes of you in your place.” In that brief and cans tic and well-deserved comment she had summed up the whole situation in a nutshell.’ There was nothing warm, nothing cordial, but as the years went by those who worked at the windows got on friendly and kindly relatione with the people coming to the windows Here and there some man got so close to the people that they began to tell ; him their personal affairs and.ABk for 1 his advice, and of late years the banks, too, have been stressing the : human element. They have etruc^a better way of approaching people. They have takeiVsteps, for instance. | to try to get as close as they can to j the foreign element. That is one of the great problems In all the Urg* Yank«« Bailor« Led World. “Plug Hat* Totem Pole.
