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

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.

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.

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*
