I y' ' '71' y THINGS BANKS 1 Look Into Smallest Details a Man is Posted For NonThey Know It?The Tim< Excites Their Interest?Th A young man who had lived for ten or a dozen years in tho apart ment house in one of the downto.wn sections recently married and moved up to University Heights. Not long after his marriage he and his wife decided to open a charge account at one of the large stores. The young man was surprised when the day after making the request for the account a representative of the store called and inquired if he were the same A. B. Blank who had lived at , naming his former address. He 'lowed as how he was and the man went away satisfied. This interest in your affairs on the part of the store is mild indeed compared with the deep curiosity which a bank evidences in the customer's affairs. According to System the answer to the question "What does your bank want to know about you?" is "Everything from the time you get to your office to the total of your bills receivable." A merchant in a large city allowed liis name to be posted in big club throe times for non-payment of dues. A few days after the last posting he applied to his bank for a loan. When the application came to the bank's credit man that individual pulled out the customer's history card. The latest entry was one typewritten sentence: "Does not pay his club dues; three times delinquent." The loan was refused. The merchant was careless, near broke or unappreciativc of his credit standing; any of these reasons looks bad to the banker. As an asset integrity is considered more important than property itself. jv wen Known creuit reporting agency defines integrity: "Business and social honor. "Personal deportment. "Character of associates. "Reputation." Ability is measured thus: "Age and health. "Business experience. "Education. "Income by personal effort (very Important)." Tangible assets, or property, mean: "That which can be taken undei an execution. "And whether personally acquired or inherited. "Qualified by income. i\ec weaitn (very important)." In gathering its material for reports it grades its credit requisites like this: "Ability: relatively essential. "Integrity: absolutely essential. "Property: not necessarily essential." Analyze the bowlings as furnished by this credit reporting company, you will see that practically everything pertaining to your personal and business life is reflected in the flies of the bank. These flies, unfortunately for the careless borrower, are not always secret so far as the banking fraternity In rnnnernpil Ynn mav Imvn nr? tnli. ling of what the files contain, yet every bank in your town may know. There Is a sort of free-masonry among modern banks, arrfl ifliey freely exchange credit information or even volunteer it. So if you are turned down by the Tenth National Hank because you are slow in paying for your automobile or for frequenting the ball park daily you may be tolerably Kiire that the Eighth or Ninth National Bank will not be ignorant of your failings. An Eastern wholesale merchant developed a liking for society, golf and yachting. In the popular eve he was rich. Even some of the hanks were freo to accept his optimistic statements and his loans aggregated a large sum. One day, under the influence of a good dinner, he confided to a banker friend his conviction that most business men work too hard. "There are two kinds of organization," he said. "One is organization of work; the other for leisure. I have developed my business to the point where my organisation almost takes care of Itself. That is why I am able to spend so much time in recreations. "I have reduced the thing to a system. In two hours at my desk I can linn/lln oil ~ ~ IKUIUH; <111 uuj mi )MM uiiu ii IUUJ essary for my individual attention. 1 rise at 9 o'clock, breakfast at 9.45 tind ko downtown in my auto so as to reach the oillce at 11. Iiy 1 o'clock I am through with my day's work. I seldom go back after luncheon. It's nil in the system." The banker repeated this conversation next morning to his associates at the bank. They looked up the wholesaler's card records and found that he was up to the limit. The "maximum loan" column showed big for many months, while the "average balance" column indicated anything but strength. "He's carried his 'organization for leisure' far enough," declared the credit man. "I think we'd hotter give Iiiin an opportunity to organize for work." So the wholesaler was politely re(ft i -ill /it) fln? i \ ffi? i/I #? n t i twl I " * "" v.?v? |?. ? '?"? was told that his line of credit must be heavilj reduced at once. Ho was angry, and declared that he could net any accommodation he wanted anywhere in town. He would take up ' nia notes Immediately, ho said, and ilso close out his account. 1 Within two hours the hank's crcdit man received three Inquiries over the telephone from credit managers for other banks. All were told the truth, utraight and dutallwd. WANT TO KNOW 5 About Customers?When Payment of His Club Dues ; He Reaches His Office ey Tell Each Other. i From one standpoint the bank was hurting its own cause by giving the information to the inquiring banks, for by withholding the facts it would have aided the wholesaler to borrow money elsewhere and thus take up his paper. But the credit man looked at the thing from a broader viewpoint. Some day he would want a similar tip himself and he would depend on the truthfulness of his fellow credit men, even though they worked for banks that competed with his own. It was not to his Interest to "stick" any bank. Instead It was to the mutual Interest of all the banks to eliminate the undesirable borrowers from the common field. So the wholesaler went from bank to bank attempting to borrow, and was amazed at the unanimity of the refusal. It Is doubtful whether he ever know the real reason. He did awake to the fact, however, that his business was not as well organized for leisure as he had supposed. He got down to hard work before he cleaned up his bank indebtedness. An Eastern manufacturer of a staple line had long enjoyed a fair line oi create hi nis Dank. Now for several months his loans increased: he did not seem willing to clean up. Part of his account matured. He wanted to renew. The hanker asked him why he wasn't reducing his line, whether his business was falling off, whether he had any drains on his capital. The manufacturer's answer was expanding business, more outstanding accounts ? entirely optimistic. Too optimistic, the banker concluded. Ho started his credit man on a quiet investigation. Ho discovered that the manufacturer was spending only half his time :'.t liis office: the other half he de voted to another manufacturing concern in the eity. Through the latter's bank it was learned that the manufacturer owned a $4 0,000 interest in the new industry. This he had never reported in his statements. The banker sent for him and asked an explanation. "The founder of this business was an old friend of mine," he explained. "He owned patents on plumbing devices that had a big market, but ho lacked capital. He offered me a chance to invest some of my earnings. It looked good, so I went in. It is good, too." "But you were borrowing money from 11Q '' nrntncfn/I 4-li 1.., l. ~ - *' * .. ?, }?* wwuvcu nic i;uui\('l , tllUI were under obligations at least to keen us Informed of your investments. You -wore investing our money in this other concern, for you were putting there what you need for your own expansion and trying to borrow from us." "I considered your claims well ?ecured,'* the manufacturer answered, "and I did not want to figure just yet in this plumbing concern. I was afraid my creditors would not all understand the proposition and It might hurt my business." It did hurt his business. The bank, its faith in him lost, forced him to settle. This drained the ready cash of the second concern, and its bank refused further favors. Just then new competition developed in the plumbing devices. At I ho time it needed help most it couldn't get it. Within two years it was forced to sell out at a loss. The manufacturer himself found his credit damaged. The banks, In touch with each other through their credit departments, were not inclined to loan. He was forced to an assignment. Had this man played absolutely open with his bank and told it his ttlnns hfith rnnenrno less have been properly financed. The bank wants to know, and deception by silenco wins its distrust as fast as dishonesty. Rafting on the Delnware. Two rafts of hemlock logs, belonging to "Deacon" Mitchell, of Callicoon, N. Y., were started down the Delaware River from above Bquinunk Tuesday. One, a "three hundred raft," passed the Lackawaxen dam Wednesday afternoon about 4 o'clock; the other, a larger raft, earlier in the afternoon. There is a fair freshet in tho Delaware and th' timber reached lt? destination, Belvidere, N. J., Friday. So far as heard from these are the only two rafts that descended the Dela waro tne present spring. This is a striking contrast compared with tho number of rafts run on tho Delaware thirty years ago, when during a regular freshet several hundred would pass a given point dally for perhaps a week.?Philadelphia Record.

Put them in ^ hovers nearest the furnace. Be sure to have heat up in hovers at Least g twelve hours before the chickens are put In, to insure the hovers to be warm and dry. There should be dry ^ sand well sprinkled over hover floors, t or some road dust; sand Ls the best, j. Let the chickens alotre until they are y thirty-six hours old, then feed them t noine oatmeal well rubbed up in the hands. Feed this for a few days, also ^ some green evaporated boneuieal and chicken grit.

Upon close examlna| tion I found the outside ceiling was checking here and there, and the paint was also losing its grip until many small openings were forming which permitted cold air to enter and come In contact with the inside ceiling and so destroy the dead air space. A dead air space is one In which there is positively no movement of i air. Two openings the size of a lead ! pencil would he sufficient to destroy this dead nlr chamber in a space of 100 feet long.

Malting Good Mutter. In ?rder to produce a good quality if butter, two very essential things ire, good care and good food for the ows. The cows must be provided with clean bedding and the stables leed to bo kept clean, well lighted ,nd ventilated. Uefore the milking begins on my ilace the sides and udders of the cows re carefully brushed, thus preventng dirt and dust from falling Into the n'lk. The milking is done with clean, ry hands; to milk with wet fingers would be an extremely filthy habit, list as soon as the milk Is drawn rorn the cow it Is strained through wire gauze and three thicknesses f checse cloth. All the milk utensils re thoroughly cleaned after being sed, by first washing them in lukewarm water, next in hot water, and hen thnv nr? in i?r>in?.r ,-ater. Every dish or cloth that is sod in connection with the milk is ut in a clean place, where there is a irculatiou of pure air, after being sod. The cream fa separated from the liik with a hand separator and lu-ld ntil there is a sufficient quantity to hum. The churning is clone threo imos each week with a barrel cliurn. n preparing the churn ami the bntpr-worker for use, they are thorughly scalded with boiling water beore the cream fa put into the churn r the butter on tfie butter-worker. l thorough scalding and cooling of he butter-worker prevents the butter rom sticking to ft. The cream is strained into the hum through a hair sieve and the hurn is never 111 led more than -half nil of cream. The churn is net urned very rapidly, and is stopped ?veral times at the beginning to remove the cork, so as to allow the esape of gases. When the cream beins to break, care is exercised not o gather the butter granules into one arge Tump. The churning ceases /hell the butter nartieles are *hont he size of wheat kernels. Then the hum ia fastened and the buttermilk rawn off. When the butter is well drained roni the buttermilk., it is rinsed with i little water, and after this has rained away the cork is put in the hum and cold water added. The over is then put on the churn* and he churn revolved slowly six or eight lines; the water is now drawn off and ho buttor left to drain for about, ifteen minutes. When the butter is well drained It 3 ready to salt, and this is done in ho churn when the butter js in granilar form. About) one and ono-half >unoes of salt are used for every >ound of butter. This insures the ight amount of salt when the butter s finished. It is a very easy matter to work ?utter too much and have It greasy. We never work the butter with the lands, because the warmth of the finds will make it greasy and give t a salvv appearance. We uso the ever worker and press the lever on he surface, and occasionally fold the Hitter over with a larilo Tho Iovhp if tho butter-worker or butter paddle s never allowed to slide over tho surface of the butter, but is preased straight down when working the but?r. Tho butter is pressed into square >nc?pound prints and carefully wrapped with parchment paper which tias been soaked in trait water a few minutes before being used. The butler is sold in our local market, except what is used at home, and practically ill the milk is fed to tho chickens, tiogs and calves. By following the above method In making butter we nover fail to pro auce n proa net or tlrst quality, which sella for from two to Ave cents per pound more than most that offered by others. I think that more of our country butter would bo far better than it is if care was exercised in making it. One of the mistakes mad# by many is in not churniifg the cream when It has reached the proper stage of ripeness and at tho right tempera ture. A proper handling of the milk ii very important. Too often it is drawn from the row in stables In which the air is filled with dust and put in urn clean vessels.
