Great events of the past quarter cen
tury which lead some young men to
oomplain that all the big things have
been done, leaving no opportunity tor
them, as a matter ot tact only go to
show that even greater opportunity
today lies ahead ot them, F. N. Shep
herd. Executive Manager ot the Amer
ican Bankers Association, recently
told members of the American Insti
tute ot Banking In New York. After
reviewing the outstanding accomplish
ments In science. Industry anu finance
during the last twenty-five years, Mr.
Shepherd emphasized the reward given
men of achievement in America, espe
cially In the financial field.
"The achievements of tt p .st are
the groundwork tor the opportunities
of today and tomorrow," he said,
“There never was a time when so
great were the potentialities ot the in-
dividual. The world was never so
ready and able to pay well for what it
wants. For superior service to so
ciety under competitive conditions,
whether through Invention or produc
tion or organization or distribution of
useful articles, no reward is begrudged,
particularly here In America.
“Adding to human comfort and hu
man needs, these things raake life
finer and better. The world has &
shared, but It U In America hat they
have reached their hieo :t develop I
ment and utilization, ’t h American
spirit of useful enterprise, however,
does not coniine itself v/ithln our own
borders. It permeates the entire world
and renders great service to peoples
other than our own.
“Let us pass over America’s service
to humanity In the war and consider
what is being done now. Largely to
rebuild the economic life of a world
shattered by the war and its devastat
ing after effects, America has, since
the war, loaned other peoples over ten
billion dollars. Last year alone a bil
lion and a half In foreign financing
was consummated In the United
States. American financial genius
has so tar readjusted our banking ma
chinery to meet enlarged international
obligations that stupendous foreign
loans, such as the $100,000,000 Dawes
plan credit to Germany, are conclud*
ed and the books closed after being
open to public subscription only a few
minutes.
“With our new world viewpoints we
in America have many great things
yet to do. These things are typical of
the broadmind d wc.id viewpoint of
American final: ce Jl lows the vision
necessary to the mt ;> who guide our
business affairs today. Certainly there
is an inspiration in this and the great
opportunities which await us.”
Bankers and business men ot the
leading towns of Taylor county, Tex

activities. As a result ot his work
over 300 club members were nrolled.
Work is being concentrated this year
on poultry culling end grain sorghum

Shortly before the primaries last
October, a columnist of the Erin Pa..
Times announced in his daily column
that he was going to run for shetiff
because he “needed the money.” He
meant the statement ns a joke, but
his friends took it otherwise and
would not permit him to withdraw
and he was elected sheriff, according
to reports.
