Imerican Bankers Assoclaibn In
Nationwide Warning Exposes
Methods and Gives Rules
to Combat Them.
NEW YORK.—^Active operations In
many cities of mail box thieves, who
open bank communications to custom
ers, containing details of their ac
counts and cancelled checks showing;
their banking signatures, and use this
material in perpetrating. cliock for
,'erles, have led the American Bankera
.Association to Issue a- nation-wide
warning to Rs members with Instruc
tlons for combating this form of crime.
The warning as sent out by James E
laum In charge of the association’s
Protective Department says:
“Heavy losses are being sustained
hrough cancelled vouchers and state
ments stolen from the mall boxes oC
bank depositors In apartment and ol
flee buildin.rrs, thus divulging thq do
post tors’ balances and supplying mod
els for forged checks. As a step
to put customers on guard against
these methods, banks are urged to in-
street, every depositor, bo whom they
mall statements of deposit accounts on
the last business day of each month to
notify them promptly It such state
ment are not received by the close of
the next day.
“Also banks should educate deposi
tors to safeguard blank checks and
cancelled vouchers as they would
money. Such paper stolen by forgers
soon puts real money la their hands.
It all blank checks and cancelled
vouchers were securely kept in safes
Instead of filing cabinets or desks, the
check crooks wouM be denied their
chief stock In trade, namely, genuine
blank checks and signatures. Warn
ings to depositors against leaving
Maok or caJHveUi^ checks accessible to
sneak thieves or burglaini'.i^hould^
sent out at once. ^
“Estimates broadcast by surety com
panies Indicate that individuals, mer
chants, hotels and others outside of
banking are shouldering more than 99
per cent of the total amount of for
gery losses. The bulk of forgery loss
on checks is sustained by those who
are willing to risk accepting them
without reliable proof of identity or
title of the presenter.
“Years ago the Protective Depart
ment of the American Bankers Asso
ciation adopted the slogan, ’Strangers
are not always crooks, but crooks are
usually strangers.’ If those outside of
banking could be prevailed upon to
observe'this rule and thiftk about It
when ’considering accepting a check
for their merchandise or services, for
which they are also asked to give a
substantial sum in cash in change, one
of the’ biggest aids to the forgery busi
ness would be denied the crooks."
BANKERS DEVELOP
NOVEL INSTITUTE
The Georgia Bankers Association In
oooperation with the State College of
Agrlcultare has sponsored a series of
farmers' Institutes in various parts o!
the State of an entirely new charac
ter. The principle feature Is a large

cluding agronomy, horticulture, agrl*
cnltural engineering, poultry, animal
husbandry, soils and fertilizers, home
economics and marketing. A large
electrified farm model, showing the
uses of electricity on the fa^m, model
farm buildings and the ideal layout
and landscaping of the farmstead Ir
oaa of the most elaborate and attrae
tive exhibits.

SCRUB BULL IS
HALED TO COURT
Placed on Trial for Hindering
Development and Prosperity
of Dairy Industry.
—
Indicted for robbery, larceny, and a
few other such charges, Scrub Bull
went on trial for his life at Laurel,
Mississippi, recently. It seems that
Tor some time people had luspicioni
that Mr. Bull was hindering the right
and lawful development of the dairy
industry, thereby “maliciously and
wilfully lowering production and de
creasing profits in the dairy business,”
says the Bulletin of the American
Bankers Association Agricultural
Commission* In commenting on the
case.
This,' it says, was the first trial ol
Its kind ever held In that section and
was attanded by several hundred peo
ple. Tlie jury, representing every vo
cation within the boundaries of the
Laurel trade territory, rendered a
unanimous verdict of “guilty.” Tha
death sentence was pronounced, “but
durleg the night, bafore tha sentence
could be carried out, friends of tha
convict secretly spirited him away
and he has not been seen sinca.”
The arraignment came during the
Milk Products Show sponsored by the
banks of Laural. "People attending
the show had the opportunity of also
attending the bull’s “trial” and went
away firmly convinced of the sarlbus-
pass of lax and out-of-date methods In
the pursuit of dairying. The pur
poses of both the Milk Products Show
and the trial ware threefold,, namely
to develop public sentiment for more
and better Jerseys; to foster a more
cooperative spirit for dairying and
livestock growing, and to promote tick
eradication.
The oanks of Laurel entered into •
cooperative arrangement in their af-
forts for fostering agricultural devel
opment and successful farming in the
community, offering |2,165 as premi
ums to the outstanding farm workers
throughout the territory during 1929.
An instructive booklet has been Is
sued, showing the agricultural activity
of the batiks, together with announce
ments of contests for farmers, exhibits
in the bank lobbies and prizes offered.
