Catherine Peterson, Ontario THE COMMUNITY AND ITS BANKS While upon the Individual banker« there rests without qualification the di rect responsibility for the prudent, hon est conduct of their Institutions, nevertheless the s o u n d n e s s of banking as a prac tical matter of fact Is a commun ity p r o b l e m In which the publio has a part to play as well as bankers and government officials charged with the supers R. G STEPHENSON vision of banks. In t h e first place, the assets of s bank, outside Its government bonds, consist mainly of loans to business men and of invest ments in securities created by corpo rate enterprises. The deposits of a bank are not kept in the vaults as Idle cash but are employed in these loans and Investments to earn the money to pay the expenses of the bank so that It can render services to Us customers and also pay them Interest on such, deposits as bear Interest. If there were no such thing as unsound business men or enterprises there would be no such thing as unsound assets in a bank. It Is of course the unquestioned duty of the banker to choose only sound loans and Investments, but the diffi culty of such Judgment, and human Judgment is never infallible, is plainly increased in such times and under such conditions as we have been passing through, with many businesses not making expected earnings and there fore hampered in meeting their obliga tions. Unfortunately some invest ments and loans created by persons outside the banks which found their way into the banks in a relatively few Instances have reflected the unwise business policies and conditions that became more than usually prevalent in our business activities and contribu ted to the difficulty of banking. The vast bulk of bank assets, however, are 100 per cent sound above all ques tion. if it needs w e ld in g - w e DO li Bankers Help LARSEN M O T O R CO.

The Indians, who met Ponce de Leon and failed so dismally to help him In his quest for lost youth, were ia themselves fine, husky specimens, Matthew Stirling said lu outlining his expedition. Science Is content to let the fountain of youth story go, but It would like to know more ubout the Calusa Indians, as the old natives of Florida are called. Science wishes heartily that Ponca de I-eon or anmo other traveler lmd taken the trouble to write down a good description of the Calusa tribe. “Although the Calusa were an Im portant tribe, they were exterminated early,” Stirling said. “So we have to depend on archeology to find any vis ible relics of their existence and to describe them from that evidence." Mound-Building Trlbs. Tlie Calusa were mound builders, ba explained. Numerous mounds that show where their settlements stood are still to be seen In Florida. Burials of these Indians that have been found show that the Calusa were heavy- honed. muscular, stocky people. They had the largest Jaws of any Indians, even larger than the Eskimo, accord ing to Stirling, but their faces were large, so that the effect was not gro- tesq le. Stirling's expedition Is exploring the east coast of Florida from Cape Cana veral southward, seeking Indian sites that appear to be of scientific Impor tance. The archeologlsta will alio go Into tbe Everglades te seek mounds that natives have reported from thi»t section. Excavations will be made at one or more mound* that stem prom ising. ..... m i ........ .l.i.i.a illiis ^ s iriB BtATSCH BARBEH SHOP Notice it oereby given n a t unci, • signed ae Supenoteadeai at Masks tor the Sttte at Oregon Is in charge of the assets Between Ford G arage and affair* of tha Malheri Coanty Bank, and Cozv Cafe Nyssa, Oregon, for the purpose ef liquida Again Open For Bnaineaa tion.

I said I always had thought th* most beautiful place I had ever seen wss Sicily. Then we both agreed that really the most won derful scenery In the world was to be found in America. "Only,” said Mr. Zimballst, “the av erage American doesn't know It. There are wealthy people here In the East who know all about Europe, but never have seen the Grand canyon, th* Yel lowstone, Zion or Rainier parks, the redwoods of Callfomlu, the Canadian rockles, or tha woods and lakea of Michigan, Wisconsin or Minnesota.
