The decision of the grand jury left unsolved the unusual death of Mr?, Wheeler, whose body was found with a knife plunged through her side lyin g ()'i 'he floor of the eabin which 1 sin* and her husband as homesteaders, made their home two weeks after t heir mar riage. j Found dead by her ?husband ami j a friend Ia*t November 18, woiVi u.t the tragedy was brought to War road, the nearest outpost, by a cour ier who spent several days' making a circuitous route around the large lake of the. woods, which being half frozen, could not be crossed by boat" or xled-.- - ? Mrs. Wheeler's death was pro nounced a suicide by a colonel's jury. Later investigation, however, indi cated that tln> woman might have been slain while her husband was absent from the. cabin. With the Wheeler cabin, 1(50 miles beyond t he . frontier, investigation of the woman's death was a slow and tedious process,- After several, trips into the woods by various investiga tors, >nnie traveling by dog sled and some making the trip in snow shioc.<, it was determined, according to of ficials, that Reamer was the last man to have seen Mrs. Wheeler alive% A search of the woods was be gun and after several weeks, hear ing that he was wanted by the au thorities," Reamer gave himself up and said he did not fear to stand trial.

Robin Zemp's Drug Store Phone 30 Electric Fans # How Banks Help a Community (Th4 following is one of a series of articles issued by thd Public Kdu catlon Committee of the American Institute of Banking, and is here re produced in order that the banking public and the bankers can better understand one the cither, and creato m co-operative spirit' between deposi tor and banker.) Hanks help the community in num erous w*w*. 1 will mention only u few Of them. Hanks provide a safe place for the deposit of money until needed. Deposited in the vaults of the bank, money is protected against robbery, lire and carelessness. Con sider a moment the hazard of trans acting business if you had to use thu actual cash in all transactions. You would invite robbery and sometimes murder. Carried on the person or left in the house, cash would be lost or destroyed by fire -deposited in a bank, it is safe. Hanks help the community by mak ing it convenient for peop]0 to trans act business. By depositing, their money in a bank in a lump sum, they can pay it out in any amount by Check as needed. They always have the exact change and get a receipt automatically. Besides, one can safe? ly pay by check through the .mails. Hanks help the community by fur nishing safe keeping valuts Where valuable papers such as wills, deeds,, stock certificates, and policies are protected against fire, theft, and carelessness. They handle Kscrows and in many instances estates, trusts and investments. Many of these ser vices are indispensable to the com munity. Banks accept for deposit- the sav ings of the community in small ac counts, too small to be invested to advantage by the individual savers. Hanks pay a liberal rate of interest on these small savings and with the many little accumulations are able to lend in larger amounts for the up building ?> 1" the community, for the construction of homes and factories and the financing of industry^ Hanks are an essential link in pro duction. Money hoarded in a tin can does not produce, can do fto one any good while it is tlvere. The money must be put to work. The bank helps the community to produce by attract ing all of the idle money from thosu who have it to loan^ind lending. it out to those who can use it in produc tion. ? '' The fa i mcr could not produce with out seed for his fields and stock for his 1 antics. lie could not borrow ntiincy for these things from the pub lic, a dollar at a time, hut the bank can do this economically. It has the means of collecting: small bits of capital and building: "up a reservoir of funds f o !' the financing of all legi timate enterprises. It can carry the farmer through his growing1 and har vesting: season. It also finances the manufacturing industry to a large extent. A shoe manufacturer must have law mateiials and labor before he can turn out finished goods. The hank 4 lends ? it 1 money to pay the whole saler for his leather and advances the money for his payroll. That money rc.m< s originally from the pub lie. The hank merely draws it in from i ho and loans it out to industry. 1: collects interest from tlif borrow *-?s and pays most of it over to i lie savers. It is one of the fine things about our economic life that one part of it helps the other. The people \\h<? work in the factory receive money for their service.?. They piit part of it in the hank, there by creating more capita! which goes back into industry, buys mure raw material and provides more work for thenwlves. It is an endless chain, with the bank as a connecting link. Take away this link and the whole system fails. Ft; commerce and foreign tiade, the bank also p!a\ s an important }>art. An exporter heie ? annot sell floods ?o an importei acros*, the ocean with out a guarantee of payment. To pro \ ii?' -in h guarantee of payment, the foreign importer establishes a let ?er of credit with the bank here, guar antying payment so that as soon as the goods are loaded on ship and covered by a b.ll of lading, the ex p?i t ei may go to the bank and get h ; s cash. Without such a system of guaranteeing payment for foreign shipments, we could not .sell our cot ton. our wheat, our other agricultural products, oi our millions of dollars of manufactured good*, which keep the wheels of industry moving and provide work for everyone. The bank is not the whole thing in this smoothly working economic ma chine but is a very important cog and without it. the machine would not run.

Such an incident is said to have happened in 1014 when Dr. Bernard M. Baruoh. New York capitalist, as certained steps taken by , William Gibbet McAdoo, former secretary of the treasury, to raise $50,000,000 to help the farmers of the South in holding their cotton during times of poor prices, The story is told by Francis II. Weston, former district attorney for the Eastern district of South Caro lina, and' now a prominent attorney of Columbia. The capital city law yer received the information in a conversation with Mr. McAdoo when thu former member of Wood row Wilson's cabinet paid a recent visit to the boyhood home of the late president. The appearance of Dr. Baruch in Columbia to make the commence ment address before the graduating class of the University of South Carolina and to receive the honor ary degree of lifc.D., recalled the story to Mr. Weston's mind. "Mr. McAdoo ' was sitting in his oil u-e TTmr afternoon, in 1914," the Columbia attorney said. "He was puzzled as to how he would raise the balance of the money he had in mind for the Southern farmers. Jfe had exhausted every resort to com plete the $">0, 000,000 goal, and it seemed as if the, plan would be a fail u re. "As he sat in hij> office an attend ant opened the doorv and-.- presented a visiting card. /He looked, at the piece of paper, and sgw the name-trf Bernard M. Baruch. At that time, Mr. McAdoo told me, he did not know the New York capitalist so very well. He had no idea as to what was the purpose of - his visit. "Mr. Baruch was ushered into the inner room and took his seat. "I understand," he spoke to Mr. Mc Adoo, "that you are striving to help tin* Southern farmer. As you know, 1 am a Southern man myself, and I am interested in the South's agri cultural pursuits. How much money do you need to help these farmers, Mr. Secretary?" "Three million dollars," Mr. Mc Adoo replied. "1 will take it," returned Mr. Ha ruch. . "Dr. Baruch reached in his pocket, produced a check and found a pen and ink. And then he wrote. He ten dered the piece of paper to William G. McAdoo. , "It's worth was $3,000,000."

"^irr^mJTHBRN SBRVBS THE SOUTH ' Railroad service that profits all of us On the Southern Railway System last year we hauled seven million tons of farm products. We carried back to the farms a great volume of things that the farmer gets in exchange for his products. This is a big part of the day's work of our 8,000 miles of lines, stretching across the South from the Potomac to the Mississippi. Farm prosperity means prosperity for us. To give the best service, at rates ' which will enable our shippers to sell their products in the markets at a good profit, and which will enable us to make a fair profit, too, is a fundamental ' policy of the Southern Railway System. Did you ever stop to think how much better service the Southern has given you in recent years since it was reliev- * ed from financial starvation? That is part of your share in our prosperity. SOUTHERN RAILWAY S YSTEM Southern Buys Coins ? Atlanta, Cia., June 1G. ? Announce ment of the purchase of 10,000 Con federate Memorial coins by tl\e South ern Railroad System was recently made by Robert B. Pegram. The sub scription was made through Mr. John King Ottley, president of the Fourth National Bank. The Southern Railroad plans to distribute the Memorial coins through its stations in all the Southern states according to Mr. Pegram. It is tak ing the step as a means of operating in the patriotic endeavor being made by the Southern Bankers Committee. In many of the communities reach ed by the Southern Railroad residents would probably have difficulty in obtaining coins through other chan nels.
