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."

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.
So Mister, loosen the strings on
your purse just a wee—tiny bit.

for a time of need. 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

Some of this money will not be used
for some time. 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 bank takes the

value, a representative that is con
stantly traveling from place to place
with a few stop-overs. 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.
