’REDOIT RIGHT, AND AT REASONABLE PRICES.
FOLLOWING a nation-wide survey
^ of banking conditions and opinion
among bankers, the Economic Policy
Commission of the American Bankers
Association^ has made the following
recommendations for banking better
ment:
“Under the, category of improved
hank management- specific improve
ments we might summarize are:
“(1) Liquidation or consolidation of
banks where changed local economic
conditions render this desirable;
“(2) Wider affiliation among state
hanks with the Federal Reserve Sys
tem;
“(3) Development of limited branch
banking w r here economic conditions
and legal authority make this expedi
ent;
“(4) A more general practice, espe
cially lacking among country banks, to
analyze the cost of carrying accounts
and other operating details and the
establishment of proper service charges
to make all classes of function profit-
f years of searching.' That is Phillips! able;
MUk of Magnesia. | “(5) A more general application of
MUk offhe ge ki U nd e th P at | the theory and practice ot 3econdary
■ • ! reserves;
“(G) Avoidance by banks undue
borrowing merely to increase their own
profits by relfending at higher rates, or
to ovor-expand credit to local business
in order to increase their own busi
ness;
“(7) Cooperation among bankers in
local communities through city, county
or regional clearinghouses so as to
promote mutually beneficial conditions
and practices;
“(8) The insistence upon higher
educational effort and qualifications
among employees, especially those to be
trusted with executive duties.

STOMACH
UST a tasteless dose of Phillips Milk
' Magnesia in water. That is an al-
efTective, yet harmless. It has been
the standard antacid for 50 years. One
spoonful will neutralize at once many
times its volume in acid. It is the right
way, the quick, pleasant and efficient
way to kill the excess acid. The stomach
becomes sweet, the pain departs. You
are happy again iii five minutes.
But don’t depend on crude methods,
try the best way yet evolved in aii the
physicians prescribe.
“Milk of Magnesia” has been the

The Public, The Dol
lars And Advertising
(From The State.)
5E
SONG OF SALES
OMEBODY once defined architec
ture as frozen music. The building
of an advertisement is, in a manner of
speaking, an architecture of ideas, us
ing three basic materials; words, pic
tures and space The art of compos
ing an ad consists in employing all
three materials in harmony, building
up to a crescendo in sales. .. . You’ve
got the idea to sell, we have the space
and the pictures. Let’s get together
as a band and compose some ads that
sing! Phone 58 and we will bring
proof sheets of cuts and layouts.
In times past The State has
sponsored several campaigns for
rising funds for such purposes as
building the Women’s Monument,
buying the Wilson Home, National
Democratic campaigns, etc. And
considerable sums have been se
cured in hard times. By devoting
a page a day to presentation of the
cause the 1 . New Y*rfe»Times secured
more money last December for the
city’s needest cases than in any
previous year of flush times.' -
If the cause is one in which it :'s
ocssible to secure the attention of
I the reading public, newspaper
j makers know and have long known
that persistent hammering, fre-
auent iteration and reiteration is
"he one certain means of securing
that end. The experienced news
paper makers must know their
public and its reactions. And it is
generally conceded that they Jo
know their public.
There wms an illustration in Co-
| Tunbia this month of the response
by the public to organized effort
supported by ten days of intensive
intelligently directed publicity.
That which was believed by many
to be impossible was achieved be
cause the public’s interest was
aroused and held.
At those periods when the dol
lars of the buying public crawl far
back into the pocketbooks and as
sume the nost retiring attitude
many merchants all over the coun
try regard with suspicion the ad
vertising solicitors who preach,
“Now Is the Time to Advertise.”
They don’t believe it. “Wait,” say
they, “till the dollars become less
timid and ccme out in the open
again to play.” Which is quite all
right for those who can afford to
wait for business are under no
necessity to win now.
Quite a number of advertisers!
upon a nation-wide scale, who;
A have the advice of the ablest men
1 in the business-getting business,'
are not waiting for the dollars
c^me out to play before inviting
them to visit the cash register.
These national advertisers, as can
be seen from inspection of the
newspapers, are, at enormous ex- i
pense, making a strong bid for
business—now.
And we notice that some of the
big retail stores of the
Christianity is a life, a “way.” Be
cause it is the life of God expressing
itself through men, it is indestructible.
Its genius is to prosper through op
position. “The blood of the martyrs
is the seed of the church.” Prosperity
may ruin the church, but persecution
never.
I. Stephen Stoned (Acts 7:54-00).
In Stephen’s ministry as deacon he
testified of Jesus Christ and wrought
miracles in confirmation thereof. This
aroused violent opposition on the part
of the synagogue officials. Nor being
able to meet the wisdom as Stephen
spoke by the Holy Spirit, they stirred
up the people against him. They ar
rested him and brought him before
the council. They accused him of

Legislative Measures Proposed
.“There are some external measures,
along moderate legislative and super
visory lines, that we also believe
would help strengthen banking. Among
these are:
“(1) The broadening in the states
of branch banking laws where condi
tions warrant an extension of this
type of banking service to the public;
“(2) The establishment of sound
minimum capital funds under which
banks will be alloweu to operate, which
should be materially higher than now
prevails in most states; specifically,
we believe that the minimum capital
with which any new bank shall he
chartered, whether state or national,
should he at least 850,000;
“(3) The provision of funds and
regulations to keep the official staffs
of all supervisory departments up to
a level of ability and integrity that
will universally inspire confidence
among bankers whose activities they
are empowered to review, and will sup
ply real added defenses to the public
interests they are appointed to protect.
“(4) In connection with the policies
of bank chartering departments, we
would recommend that, even to • a
greater extent than is now the prac
tice, the greatest care and moderation
should be exercised »in granting new
charters, so as to guard against over
banking or the launching of new banks
by unqualified persons, which have
doubtless been serious factors in the
bank failure situation in the past.
“(5) Also, referring to Federal Re
serve practice not requiring legisla
tion, we believe that the Federal Re
serve Banks should exercise more free
ly their rights to examine banks and
use their discretionary power to refuse
rediscount facilities to banks indulging
Mn objectionable banking methods.”

murderers in their raging fury he
looked up to heaven. This was the
secret of his calmness.
2. He saw the glory of God (v. 55).
A vision of God’s glory only can be
seen by those who are loyal to him
even unto death.
3. He saw Jesus at the right hand of
God (vv. 55, 5C). The fact that Jesus
was standing showed his actual Inter
est in the sufferings of his faithful
witness.
4. Cashout of the-city and stoned
(vv. 58. 50).
5. His prayer (v. 00). He kneeled
down and cried with a loud voice,
“Lord, lay not this sin to their charge.”
How like the prayer of Jesus on the
cross!
G. He fell asleep (v. 00). The Chris
tian’s death is only a sleep.
II. Persecution cf the Church at
Jerusalem (Acts 8:1-4).
1. The ringleader (vv. 1, 3). As a
member of the Sanhedrin Saul had
cast his vote against Stephen. He per
haps was the Sanhedrin representa
tive to guide and direct in the execu
tion. Saul’s consenting to Stephen’s
death shows that he was not taking
part himself, but directing the ac
tivities.
2. The disciples scattered (v. 1). The
stoning of Stephen had so aroused
the passions of savage men that they
proceeded to wreak vengeance upon
the Christians,’ who, ns a result, were
scattered abroad.
3. Preaching the Word (v. 4). I Sabbath school at both churches

Banker-Farmer Plan
McCORMICK, S. C
An editorial in Southern Cultivator
rays: “Favorable comment is being
made upon the wisdom and promised
results of the farmer-banker agricultur
ral program in Georgia. Industrial
leaders and publicists, noting that 115
of the 1G1 counties in the state have
pledged prosecution of the ‘live-at-
home’ farm reform, are regarding the
working out of the jfian this year as of
more interest to American farmers
than any developments of the Soviet
five-year plan in Russia. Agricultural
actuaries are of the opinion that if
Georgia farmers, backed by our coop
erating bankers and supply men, dem
onstrate the expected economies and
profits of this home-support plan, it
will quickly become & contagious cus-

III. Preaching the Lord Jesus at
Antioch (Acts 11:18-21).
In the providence of God a new
missionary center was now being pre
pared. With the conversion of Saul
and bis commission as the apostle to
the Gentiles, a new center was needed.
Antioch was well suited as that cen
ter, for it was the natural door to the
Graeco-Roman world. The persecution
at Jerusalem sent the disciples as far
as Antioch.
1. Preaching to Jews only (v. 10).
In this they followed the exatnple of
C’hrist. They had not yet ertine to
realize the universality of the gospel.
Even thus limited, they, were used in
carrying out the divine purpose.
2. Preaching to the Grecians (v. 20).
The disciples who had come from
Africa and Cyprus were of broader
sympathy than those of Palestine, and
they courageously crossed the lino
preaching the Lord Jesus to the Greeks.
3. The hand of the Lord upon them
(v. 21). Perhaps the Holy Spirit was
poured out anew as at. Pentecost.
Their ministry was accompanied with
the divine blessing. Many believed on , •
