Their Efforts To Make Country

By Carter Glass,
Secretary of the Treasury.
No group of men in the United
States measured up to the test of the
great war more admirably th?.u did
the bankers. The success of the Unit

mighty busy persods jnst now and a
great many of them are “working the
country,’ 'and working it hard.
Do you recall the “miracle wheat"
proposition of a few years ago? May
be not by that name, for it had a
good many names. One of its aliases
was ’Jerusalem wheat.” Another was
“Egyptiaa wheat.’’ However, the
name doesn’t matter much for it was
all the same thing. Most farmers will
recall it, anyway.
When the farmers would not fall
for the story any other way they were
told that if they would give $10 or
maybe $20 a bushel for the seed they
could s.’U the whole harvest back in
the fs 1 .' for the same price per bushel. , ...

Now that the war is over the peo

ahead and sowed it and waited a year
full of trustfulness but the sharper

that they had a very poor grade ofj curmca of
wheat, anyway, and it dawned upon fpom time tJmc> T jj e more ggher
them that they had been stung and
stung hard and deep.
Right now a good many farmers
are being offered all sorts of invest
ments, oil stocks and plantation
stocks and a whole lot of other stocks.
Some of these are offered in exchange
for War Savings Stamps and L^be-fv
Bonds. Some of them, too, are Just

New Treasury Saving Certificates,
simply a development of the familiar
War Savings Stamps, can be had.
These certificates are offered in de
nominations of $100 and $1,000 on the
identical terms of the War Savings
Stamps.
Eighty-four dollars and twenty
cenMl invested in a $100 Certificate

and the words will apply to a $1,000

TV people of the United States
should, therefore, be encouraged to
pay off their installments and borrow

possible, and also to pnrehase addi

ty Bonds and Victory Notes during
the last two years was due >n no small
measure to the patriotic co-operation
of the banks. They took a most ac
tive part in each of the loan cam
paigns.
They subscribed generously for
themselves, made loans to their cus-
tbmers in order that they mighr buy
bonds, and sold bonds on installments
to accommodate those having small
savings. In other words, the banks
did everything possible to promote the
sale and distribution of government
securities.
The banker can render an equally
great service in reconstruction by co

“What’s in a Name?"
The French island of ilcunion ha»

years. In 170h it was Bourbon, as it
had been for a century and a half, but

Under the empire it became Isle Bou't*

to Bourbon. Finally, in 18-iS. it be-

AH in Wetl-Chosen Library.
Said Emerson: “Consider what yon
have in the smallest chosen library. A
company of the wisest and wittiest
men that could be picked out of all the
civil countries in a thousand years
have sot in best order the results of
their learning and wisdom. The men
themselves were hid and inaccessible,
solitary, impatient of interruption,
fenced by etiquette; but the thought
which they did not uncover to their
bosom friend is here written out In
transparent words to us, tho strangers
of another age.’’

Cookery among the well-to-do class
es In Persia is extravagant—partly be
cause they are lavishly hospitable,
partly because all house servants are
fed from the leavings of the master’d
table. Tiny chickens, quails, pigeons,
doves and young partridges are hand
ed hot, on the spit, to each guest.
Swift Locomotion.
Men can run about 32 feet a second,
that being the world’s record for a
hundred yard sprint. Contrary to
common supposition, skaters are no
swifter than runners, the world’s rec
ords for both being precisely the same
—92-.j seconds for a hundred yard*.
Runners on skis have, however, made
as much as 72 feet a second, and In
leaping on skis more than 100 feet a
second Is attained.
