We know the article was unusually interesting because we wrote it and printed it in , The Times of July 22. The News evidently fhought The Times had swiped the article from some other paper and therefore did not give this paper credit for it or in its make-up ldst the credit line." The Chronicle reproduced the tbovs article last week and gave credit to the Lancaster' News, and we are glad that The Times calls Pur attention to the mistake. ' Bankers Make Charge Beginning with the first of August the various banks of Charlotte will make a charge of fifty center a month for all checking accounts carrying a balance of less than one hundrecf dollars, with ^he-exception of accounts where there is leas than three checks a.month issued. The bankers have found that ac? counts of less than one hundred dollars are a liability and are costing the banks a considerable amount to. carry. Along this line a Chester banker recently made an inventory of the accounts carried by his bank and found that more thait-ijjty per cent of the accounts of the bank were being carried at a loss. In other words moru-iheit-fifty per cent of v the work done in the bank is being done at a loss. The banks of this section have found that it costs them over four cents to handle each check or deposit and that the small depositor is eating up the profit derived from the larger ones. Sooner or later banks throughout the entire country are going to find that they must make monthly charges on all small checking accounts." The time is coming also when all banks will doubtless have to guarantee all depositors against Iobs and in order to take care of a charge along this line it will be absolutely necessary that they increase their revenue. Nebraska bankers guarantee depositors' accounts, the matter being handled by the bankers of the state - through a mutual agreement. The Nebraska plan has been in effect several years and is now working in ?* excellent order. At first there was some trouble in view of the fact that some banks became more or less reckless since their depositors were guaranteed against loss but after the * reckless fellows were ."weeded" out the plan is working fine.?Chester X News._ THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

President Monroe was wont to go to market and personally do the purchasing for the White House during his tenure as Chief Executive. Words and pictures describing the first great naval battle in history have been unearthed in Egypt. The battle was between the then uncivilized Greeks and the cultured Egyptians. The Greeks were victorious. A Georgia court of appeals has ruled that husbands driving automobiles do not have to take orders from their ' wives.

Lovs ! Th# BtrnMng Tls Wboevsr put the word, -nil death do OS pdrt" into the marriage esrsmoojr understood H/e. Whoever it was understood the difference between love and passion Passion fO*y t>e for a day, and usually 4% n?d is often succeeded by indifference or contempt. yLove is s different sbrt of thing. Love is based upon other things than mere physical attraction. It is something composed of esteem, regard, and many other things that depend upon something else than proximity alone. Human nature is so constituted that a man who swears to love a woman till death do theui part is' reasonably sure that if he behaves himself and controls himself love will be co-texpiiubus with his life. It is' upon this law that the promise rests. When passion has disappeared after a few weeks or months love remains. It is more than the residium of passion.; It is something built upbn character, and with reasonable culture it can be depended upon to endure. ' In fact love is one of the most enduring things in the world. It outlives hate. It is tough, and this more storms that blow upon it the stronger it grows. This is noticeable in mother love which can eildure and outlive the greatest disappointments. Long af* child m? proved himself unworthy, mother love will continue unabated. Love does not depend altogether upon the actions of the other party, but it is inherent in the character of the person himself. Many a wife or husband keeps on loving in spite of all that is done to destroy that love. If love were what many people understood it to be, a mere gust of passion or a wayward sentiment, there would be no sense in promising to cherish one another forever. Most of the -objections to marriage are based upon the wrtfng conception of what makes marriage beautiful. It is not passion, but it is love. Love often endures long after the .fires of passion have expired. Those who think that love is merely infatuation are apt to flit from flower o flower, while those who conceive of love as a child of loyalty will be stable and dependable. USE CARE IN FEEDING COWS I IN DRY SEASON Special care should be used in watching pastures at this season of tns year, If dairymen do not want" to run the risk of seriously Injuring milk production In the months to come. When dry weather comes, It Is natural for dairymen to hope the drought is only temporary, and to Weather their cows through without putting tbem on a regular dally grain ration.

She cannot get tt from August pasture without rapplementary ration of grain. You can't make a camel out of a I - - aik a cow to gram all dajr on land that la nearly aa barren as the desert. I Observations by Professor Wilbur J. Fraser, of the University of I1H- I nols, showed that over a period of 1 four summers, from May to November there was a total of only three weeks during which an acre and a half of pasture was sufficient to support one cow. And In two of those summers there were 27 weeks when 80 acres of pasture land were required to yield feed enough for one cow.

T3UL I color? Why are many men, with sight perfect otherwise, unable to distinguish red from blue? Why is a color-blind woman unknown? How do you explain the extraordinary fact that many women, absolutely blind, can distinguish colors by feeling; for instance, colors of yarns that they handle? Why dovblind women sorting yarn in London like blue and dislike red? y.y More important because it is practicsl, why do flies dislike blue? Paint yoqr kitchen bright blue and you have fewer flies. On the other hand, if you paint beehives blue, the bees will be happier. Perhaps it is because bees enjoy themselves under the blue sky, while flies like to be out of the" sunlight and away from the bloe sky. In a blue kitchen they may think they are outdoors under the sky. They are not very bright. Preferred stock of Standard Oil of New Jersey pays 7 per cent. Money is cheap, 7 per cep interest isn't businesslike, and the New Jersey Standard Oil Company plans to buy back all ita preferred stock, paying owners 1115 for a |100 certificate. This $230,000,000 operation isn't considered big in our day. One million dollars used to mafce ffieiTshiver. Now $200,000,000 is the unit that one billion is the mark that really big men shoot at,? The trillionaire' is coming. The wise Japanese establish an animal "time day" in all cities and i towns of the empire. "Watch your time" is to be the national slogan. Every day ought to be "time day" with everyone. No spendthrift ever let money slip through his fingers as the average man lets his life slip away. Florence Ziegfield, who continues "glorifying the American girl," but insists that she be "modestly dressed," says "the plumper girl is comI ing in." <He predicts disappearance of the prevailing type that looks^half starved as a result of dieting. That's good news for the tired (business man who sits in front. Still (better news for the other man who I wants the next generation to be worth while, and fears trouble when the half starved babies of half starved mothers grow up and take hold of the nation. ' p Thirteen burned to death in mountain inn at Haines Falls, N. Y., cannot be identified and will go to the grave with religious rites of twq kinds. First, Roman Catholic rites were celebrated. Next, Protestant rites will be added. If there happens to be a Buddhist, Mohammedan, or Confucian among the thirteen, he will have to take his chance. Mr. Sam Wing, accomplished gunman of the On Leon Tong, went to the electric chair, but first gave orders for burial services, both Chinese and Christian. .He was never a ( hristmn, but told .his friends that the electric chair being unknown to Chinese gods, they might have no provision for a corpse from that source. Christians having Snvented * the electric chair, dortbtless have a God that would know what to do with the remains, so the thoughtful Chinese decided on both religions for the funeral service. We spend our lives watching men and women passing through a door labelled "noofb " Wc q}} foftTC theories, but nobody apart from, faith, has any knowledge of what is on the other side of the door. By and by our time comes, and we go, then we know?perhaps. Sir Alfred Mond tells Britain's Society of Chemical Industry that science will control genius, morals and sex, and also prolong youth. Sex has been put beyond our control. Men's vanity would call for too many boys. What we call "morals" is a reflection of the times in which we live.
