BEING LAUGHED AT It Is Goldsmith, or at least I think It is, who speaks of the frightened boy going- home t h r o u g h b l a c k woods at night-- " W h i s t l i n g aloud to keep his courage up." Bluster Is generally an outgrowth of fenr. It fs a camouflage to conceal a man's real feelings. Cynlsclsm and Insolence are more bften than otherwise the disguise of self-consciousness and sensitiveness. I think, very likely the main reason for this is that we want to Emulate virtues or characteristics which we do not have, and are afraid of being laughed at if our friends discover our lack. And if there is one thing more than another which youth cannot meet or endure it is laughter. "The fellows would laugh at me," clinches any argument in favor of granting a youthful request. When Joice was editor of oar college paper he ridiculed everything that was being done for the control of student conduct and advocated all sorts of revolts and irregularities. I bad thought I knew him pretty well during his first years In college, and he had struck me as a shy sensitive boy with high ideals and a distinct sense of honor. He dropped into the office one day, and we got onto his principles as presented in the daily. "I can't believe that you actually think \he things you are writing," I paid to him. "It you do you are an entirely different fellow from what you were last year and before. What's the cause of It all?" He hesitated a moment. » "I'm awfully sensitive,'* •;*&» , explained, "and the thing that T Cdimot bear is the thought that if I stand for things that are conventional and right, people may laugh ^t me and call me a mollycoddle. I can't stand ridicule." "What are you going to do when you get out- of college?" I inquired.* "I'm going to be a lawyer." I laughed. "Well, you'd better get used to being laughed at early in life,** I said, "or some day they'll laugh yon out of court." - i (©, IMS. western Newspaper Union.) * Farming Peru's Industry Close to 75 per cent of the population of Peru is directly dependent upon agriculture.

If you dropped on the street, it would be worthless to the finder. Without f^yoiir signature a check is of no value, yet it can make every cent of your funds available, almost immediately. The money itself rests securely in the vaults your bank has 0 built to safeguard the cash of our community. The checking account service makes a scrap of paper worth $5, $10, 1ft hundred--whatever you have on deposit, but only when you say the word by s i g n i n g your name. You have a l l t h e a d v a n t a g e s of c u r r e n c y w i t h none of the risk. This important safeguard and invaluable convenience is only a part oftfie service which has grown up within th e checking department of your bank. A check is legal proof of payment, y our expenses are visualized for easier control; payments are made and recorded with great time saving and there is a definite prestige that grows when you pay by check. THINK THIS OVER A few moments' thought will show you how valuable it is to have a checking account service from your bank. You would gladly pay any reasonable amount to save yourself tjie inconvenience, the risk and the delay <xf the old pay-in-cash method. And yet the banks here only ask thai you maintain an appropriate balance. Surplus funds left on deposit earn the income which must pay the cost of ser^fng; you andjjgfre theb^nk reasonable compensation. . \ ~ ^ A surplus in the bank is not only sound business practice, but it builds a man's morale.
