An Unpleasant Subject
All of the functions of life are not
pleasant to consider. Perhaps this is
why some mothers refuse to think
that such symptoms as restless sleep,
loss of flesh, lack of appetite or Etching
nose and fingers in their children,
ran be caused by round or pin worms.
Many mothers have proven, however,
that a few doses of White's Cream
Vermifuge, that sure and harmless
worm expellant, will make these
symptoms disappear. You can get
White's Cream Vermifuge for 35
cents per bottle from DeKalb Pharmacy,

? ICHABOD CRANE "
HAD A FLASHLIGHT
By JOiifJ C. LONSDALE
Pceciuert American Bankcrf'
A; ioclatlon
1I7K ALL remember the utory of IchA*
h?4, L'rane and the headless horse*
man. There v. t.3 the dark form by the
Kide of the roadthundering
lioofa
on tho Sleepy Hollow
highway ?
and Ichabod flccInK
in confuted
terror before this
terrible monster.
If Icbabo'* had
only known that
his bobgob'.iq >vaa
an Inventive rival
disguised with a
a pumpkin head,
he would have
had a good laugh
and Rone on with tho business of vanquishing
his competitor.
What loti a bod really needed was a
modern flashlight. Then be would
have discovered the trickery at once.
Many buslnose men need the flu: ''tight
of analysis to uncover the hobgoblins
In their business and then they might
sit back und laugh at tlu?lr rivals who
hesitate to investigate and learn the
truth.
At this time, when business and
hanking are making strenuous efforts
to have a clear vision ahead, It Is especially
important that tho power of research
und analysis be employed to
tlieir fullest extent. When these twin
brothers of good management have
been pressed into service in all fields,
I am confident we shall see a further
lessening of periods of stress. However,
I believe business in general has
learned the valuable lesson that any
prosperity that is not leavened with a
little adversity would not seem basically
safe or sound.

RESERVE SYSTEM'S
DIVIDENDS ANALYZED
Bankers Find Increased Payments
to Member Banks Would
Be Small Inducement.
Various proposals that member
hanks In tho Foderal Reserve System
should participate more largely In its
net earnings through an Increase in
the dividend rate above the present
fixed 6 per cent "would he a very
funall financial inducement" to them,
it is declared in a recent study oC this
subject by the Economic Policy Commission
of the American Rankers Association.
This is shown, the commission
says, hv a theoretical forecast, on
the basis of the past six years, of additional
earnings that would be disbursed
to member banks during the
next six years xinder two plans introduced
in bills before the United States
Senate,
"Tho Fletcher hill provides that
Federal Reserve Rank earnings, after
present 6 per ce'nt dividends to members
and completion of a 100 per cent
surplus, should all be distributed as
extra dividends to the stockholder
banks," the report says. "If the earnings
of each Federal Reserve bank
were distributed among its own members
there would be no extra dlvif
dends In the Boston, New York, Philadelphia,
Cleveland, Chicago and San
FrancLsco districts;., during the next
six years, but the other six Federal
Reserve Banks would pay annuah extras
at the following rates: Richmond,
6.08 per cent; Atlanta, 4.09 per cent;
St. Louis, 3.50 per cent; Minneapolis,
9.51 per cent; Kansas City, 5.48 per
cent; Dallas, 4.83 per cent.
"If the earnings were pooled and
paid out to all members In all districts
each member would receive an average
annual extra dividend of .78 per
cent. Under this plan no franchise
tax as now would he paid by the Federal
Reserve Banks to the Federal
Government.
Another Plan Analyzed
"The Glass bill would provide that,
after present 6 per cent dividends,
one-half the remainder should be paid
to member banks as an extra dividend
with the residue going to surplus
and Federal Government as fran.
chise tax. The average annual extraa
to members would he as follows: Boaton
District, 2.51 per cent; New York,
per fent;' Philadelphia, 2.05 per
Cleveland, 2.09 per cent; Richmond.
3 26 per cent; Atlanta, 4.67 per
cent; Chicago, 3.20 percent; St. Iyouls,
2 02 per cent; Minneapolis, 4.75 per
cent: Kansas City, 2.74 per cent; Daila*.
3 21 i>or cent; San Francisco, 1.S7
per cent.
"If the-o extra funds were pooled the
result would be nil extra avoracro r
nnal dividend of 1.73 per cent for each
member. Under this plan the systrm
would --till pay ns now an annual franchire
?.;\. amounting to $1,941,925 on
the ,iv a--.'"
l'y way of cone: etc inrtrnoe, the
report say*, a member hank having
capital and surplus of $200,000. there
fore holding Federal Reserve Bpnli
stock amounting to $6,000 on which H
is receiving $360 under the present (
per cent dividend orr;" lgerucnt, woulc
with the addition < f each 1 p. r cer.
to the dividend rate receive an adal
tional income of $60 a year.
"If each member "bank will flgur<
out for itself the dollamand-cents gali
it would enjoy wo are confident i
will be agreed that the fftine are smal
as against the economic dlsadva stage
which pan be pointed oat," it eon
elude*.

Mr. Smoak was in a boat in the
middle of the river and had a set
line tied to the hank. He noticed
that sometihing was struggling hard
at the end of his line and immediately
went to it. The fish was taken
from the water directly into the boat
instead of being pulled to the hank.
