Straight From die Shoulder, Woman to Man, on How to Do Christmas Shopping "Wife May Say She Wants a Now Door Mat for 'Her’ *'4 Xmas Gift,—Bat Don't be Fooled, Mr. Man." . wW*. I A . S ■ : \ • » By MARY ETHEL PAIGE • ^ ^ V Mere man goes a Christmas shooping. , And mostly always, late, because that is the way of man. And be frets, and he stews, and he is embarrassed—and usually, he ends np by purchasing gifts with which he is not at all satisfied—and that he feels for a certainty will not create any great thrills in receiving. There is one law in Christmas shop ping—when the gifts are for Her— W It mother, wife, sister or sweet heart, that man should remember. It la Milt: “Woman does not went you to be practical." By that is meant she wants you te forget your responsibilities, your Tsoourcos, your obligations, the prac ticability of the gift in relation to her other possessions. la other words she wants "some thing idea." Something personal be cause she is still a little girl at heart- just like man is a little boy grown up. The feminine is much more artistic and her vision to much greater for ideals that H is a taak for man-mind to comprehend how to really and truly please and thrill her in his gift selec tion. There is always the exception to the rule, even among men. And there art those who organise their Christ- mas shopping list and go out ea>ty to make their selections. That of course—is the ONLY wuy. Wife may tell you that she wants a new front door mat. as HER Christ mas gift She is horeat—because she is trying to help you. But that isnt what she wants st all. What she really wants is a platinum wrist watch, a new fur coat, a dia mond ring, a new sedan, a checking account of her VERY own, a lovely new hat, or, maybe a baby grand piano. Por a certainty—it’s a little bit more than anything you have thought you could afford. About Banka By C. L. J. H. It is folly to become afraid of all banks because sdnfe banks have closed doors. The life of no man wha hobit- ually [keeps money on his person is safe. No home that is the constant depository for cash is safe. Only a house and collect my five hundred dollars.” The mortgage is given and the interest is paid. The paid inter est is gain. The mortgage insures, boro, Ga. the return of the money because the house is worth more than the money borrowed. This is a safe investment and the mortgage in this case is good collateral This bank goes on lending and taking papers on things of value until the money is all out earning in terest. The securities or collateral as they are called would bring in as much money as,lent out and if closed every dollar lent out by the bank could be collected. Because no money is lent without taking good security. Mrs. Mitt Howell and Miss Annie Foreman are the guests of their sis ter, Mrs. H. H. Stembuge in Waynes- Yoo know your wife, don’t you?, Cock the old fedor, on your head and You know of the unguarded wishes which are occasionally expressed— "wishes for the moon" you term them. But they are not. They are cravings of her very heart and if you would bring real joy and happiness to her on Christmas morning—you’ll shut your eyes to “your common sense" and you will walk out and buy her just one article—that is beyond the wild est hope of her. Therrdn also is the “key" to your shopping. You give gifte to those you love. Love calls for sacri fice and he is happiest who knows that the gift which thrills is the gift that is just a little grander and a little more personal than was ever ex pected All things are relative. This man who goes a little beyond, seemingly has plenty with which to afford such ■hopping. But when truth is known it is just as difficult for him as that man who obviously has a more strict limitation. The point is—no man will or can overstep his poeition in life. The joy it will bring to woman’s heart will never be known when man does his Christmas shopping as' suggested above. American markets are without* doubt the greatest in the world. Prices are not high. We find in our stores the best merchandise to be had in the world. What was a luxury a few years ago may now h* almost a neces sity, due to great production develop- merts. advertising—and a higher— much higher standard of living. Woman's mind has mostly brought this about. She it was who first learned of these new and better things—she K was who desired them—and she it is who usually is first to have the vision and the courage to bring them into her home.

Therefore, a safe keeping place for fundi until the day of need is a necessity and this is the real reason for the existence of banks. But a man cannot give his time to the care of another's funds and so he makes money pay for its keep. If the officers and employees of a bank are not paid salaries beyond the income of the bank and the bank officials are ho test and good busineas men the money committed to its care cannot be lost. Let us see how H works. Some folks think that money grows on trees «nd that only bad luck causes other folks to obtain more of it than they. They expect banks to be piled •nd heaped with money ready to be handed out to each and every appli cant as a matter of accomodation. As a matter of fact, money in itself is nothing except a representative of 1 W. B. Cassels, Arthur Foreman and S. S. Hardy attended the Masonic meeting at Dunbarton Tuesday even ing. T. S.

The bank takes (are of this money and the borrower is satisfied if it is paid upon demand. But money that is not working is los ing time, and so the Banker knowing that other money will come in before the borrower wants it, lends the money a second time, may be a third time, each time taking adequate security so that the. bank always has values enough to satisfy a;i obligations, but never enough cash in hand to pay all obligations at a given time. The bank undertakes to take care of morey for its customers. But money cannot stand still and so the money paid in by depositors is paid out to those who borrow, ard so earns its keep.

The whole furxtion of money is to represent val- ues. It is a medium of exchange for values. a A bank might be organized by ten men, each putting in ten thousand dollars. The bank would open doors with a hundred thousand dollars. If that hundred thousand dollars re mained in the vault, it would not gain anything to itself but would in time waste itself away in salaries to offi cers. But a man comes along who needs five hundred dollars in his busi ness for a month, six months, or may be a year. He has a house worth two thousand dollars. He says to the bark: “I will pay interest on the five* hundred dollars and return it at the expiration of the month,” six months or year as the case may be. The bank replies, "All right. Just give me a mortgage on. your house. In case you fail to pay, I can sell your money of its depositors as for its own. While the bank has values enough to raise all the money ^trust ed to its care, it could not raise it *11 in any one day or week. And so if all the depositors should ask for their money at the same time, the bank would have to close its doors even though it had ample values to raise the money. A run on a bank might compel a sound bark to close its doors. A* bank to be efficient must have the confidence of its depositors. The depositors must have faith in the i bank. A bank business is built upon collateral by faith. It is thrust down and ruined by insufficient secipity and a lack of faith.
