Neighbor friends had a new baby la which she was keenly Interested. Sho ran in to see it as often as she couid and she kept telling the fond parents that she wanted ona, too. One day she cama home la a state of high excitement. "Mamma," die called, "hava you got a dollar T" "No, my dear* her mother aatd, "I haven't got a dollar. What do 7M want a dollar for?" But the child would not tell, although ahe kept Insisting that aha wanted a dollar very badly. "Then you'll have to aak your dad* dy," said her mother. But daddy insisted on knowing all about it and finally the story cama out. *T told 'em," said the child breathlessly, -that I wanted a little baby just like theirs and they told me there was a place up street where I could get one for a dollar down an' a dollar a week. Now come along with ma quick, daddy, an" let's get one. And yoa know it's Just wonderful. If you pay your dollar down and then don't pay your dollar a week they wont take your baby away from you because they're glad to get rid of It." Daddy is now trying to think of a good comeback for his neighbor friends.--Springfield Republican. Hubby Not Doing More Work; Leas to Be Done Professors can grow Interested la almost anything. Now one tells us that he has learned that men are doing a greater proportion of housework than they used to. If husbands are becoming of some practical value in the home It will be a great thing for America. But there Is a suspicion that the professor's angles are slightly distorted. It Isn't that men are doing more of the home work. It's the wives who are doing less. They are taking their meals out or living In apartments In which domestic life is at a minimum. Housework used to be a standard occupation--In fact, a career. Now ft Is an Incident or a Joke. "There are so many electric or mechanical devices In the home these days that about all that la required of the housewife Is the ability to push a button of torn a switch.--I«as A.ngeiea Tlmea. GROCER TELLS WHAT KONJOLA DID FOR HIM Konfraia Shows Why It Is Known As the Medicine Witjh More Than A Million Friendi Electric Telegraph While H. a Oersted, a Dane, was one who laid valuable foundations on which others built, he can hardly be called the inventor of the electric telegraph. He was one of a number of men, who, when electricity was imperfectly understood, conducted successful experiments of much value. He and G. C. Romagnosl discovered the action of the galvanic current on a magnet; and the application of this to telegraphic purposes was suggested by Laplace and carried out by Ampere, Schilling, and others. The work of these men forms the foundation of much of modern telegraphy. The patent for the first electric telegraph waa issued In 1837 to Sir Charles Wheatstone and W. F. Cooke. Didn't Feel Like a Genius By JACK WOODFORD (Copyright.) IT WAS late. Or rather It MR.

Profit My the experiences of others who, to fjheir everlasting joy, put this new Edifferent medicine to the test, d the words of Mr. Harry Kersey, ser, Caseyville, 111., who declared: f "After eating, I felt like I had a lump in my stomach, and the pain was severe. I did not rest well at night, and my vitality was low. I read so much of the wonderful results obtained from Konjola that decided to find out for myself about this new medicine. I was not long in finding out, for three bottles solved all my health problems. I am sleeping fine; eating what I want, and have new ambition and vigor." It is very true that Konjola does work swiftly, yet it is strongly recommended that a complete treatment of from six to eight bottles be taken if best results are to be obtained. Konjola is sold in McHenry, 111., at , Thomas P. Bolger's drug store, and fcy all the best druggists in all toWm throughout this entire section. Champion ship Boxing Belts When the sport of boxing appeared to be in some danger of languishing In 1900, Lord Lonsdale drew up a new scale of weights and conditions to govern title bouts, and, with the idea of adding distinction to the bout, he donated a challenge belt for each weight. These trophies are valued at $2,500 each, and consist of leather, gold and colored enamel. The condi tlons make it possible for a boxer aci tually to possess the belt by winning the title three times, not necessarily In succession. Eleven of these belts had been won outright in 1924 and ware up for competition,.* v Steering SiclntM Chech Medical science has prevented the population of French Equatorial Africa from being wiped out by sleeping sickness, it was asserted In an Interview by Raphael Antonettl, governor general of the colony. Although the birth rate was satisfactory, he explained, the population continued to diminish through disease which caused more deaths than there were births. This went on until 1921 when the French officials recognized the peril and took energetic action against sleeping sickness and all tropical Infections. ever, In the upstairs bedroom window. Raleigh took out his watch and glanced at It nervously, by the light of his cigarette lighter. Two a. m. And he had only been married a year. Back from the honeymoon but six months. There would be, he foresaw, a lot of trouble. He hadn't had any Idea that time was sttpplng by so swiftly; and he had been consistently behind the game. Very gingerly he unlocked the front door. But careful as he was, Angela heard him. She came rushing down the stairs. Her eyes wide. Clad in a shimmering night negligee of such perfection as to bring out her slim young beauty perfectly. Raleigh heaved a sigh. It was too bad to have to quarrel with Angela for she was looking particularly lovely tonight. He Just stared at her, and she just stared at him. It was a tense moment, there in the hall. In the dim light. And then Angela turned and calmly wont on upstairs without speaking. Raleigh heaved a sigh of relief. She had been afraid that he would be incapacitated, he gathered. Probably she was relieved that he was able to walk, at any rate. But she looked so pretty tonight. And It was so queer. So deuced queer to be in one's house with a creature who would not speak to one. Gave him ,a peculiar feeling as of Invisibility. He followed her silently up the stairs. His mind was acutely busy. He thought of the thousand ?nd one Jokes he had seen In cartoons corcerning what one might do under such circumstances. The cartoonists must all be single men, else how could they think such a situation funny. There must be some way out of It. He decided that he would have to think up a new lie. Impossible it would be just to say he had been playing poker., She would want to know why he hadn't called her to let her know where he was. Why he had stayed so late. Why he couldn't play poker and come home at a decent hour. Why he bad shown no consideration for her feelings whatsoever. Why he this, why he that, and the most particularly why he the other. . . . Of course he could brazen and bluff It out. Bluster and pout himself. But that would prolong the quarrel until morning, at least; and most earnestly Raleigh did not want the quarrel prolonged. And he wanted to sleep. It would take, he decided, nothing short of genius to think up something really good that would square things. Aud he didn't feel like a genius. No man who has just lost in a poker game ever feels like a genius. Nevertheless, Raleigh doggedly followed her to her door. There she swung about, barring his entrance and said, in a moat emphatic tone: - "Well . . .r , "Why! Uh! XThat'sthG matte*?" asked Raleigh, Innocently. "What's the matter!" she snapped. "You can ask that." And then, who can say what happened. Perhaps there is a particular god who watches over the destinies of married men, for Raleigh blurted out: "I don't understand your attitude at all!" "Oh!" ahe mimicked,' "you don't! Well, isn't that strange!" (The last with lamentable sarcasm.) "If you had decided to begin leading the night life of a torn cat, you might at least have 'phoned me. Perhaps I could have fixed up a date for myself." •"Phone you," echoed Raleigh, still on the crest of Heaven-sent inspiration. "What are you talking about. I called you, explained that I was going to play poker, and you said sweet as could be: Alt's perfectly all right, dear; I've got a good book to read. I don't want to hold you down. Go right ahead and have your good times. Stay as late as you like, and if you lose don't worry.' You know," he added, after a moment's reflection, "I thought your voice was strange at that time. I must have gotten the wrong number. I Just called you dear, and you just called me dear; I suppose I got some other chap's wife. . . . I'm sorry." Then he laughed at the Joke. It worked beautifully. Not until near morning was the poor woman satisfied that she had proven her own superiority to other chap's wives, and then only after a blanket permission to play poker ad libitum had been granted.

Larger scale group or branch bank* lng will inevitably bring a new era of banking organization and operations to the United States and bankers will have to develop "new conceptions, new administrative methods and new economic views," Rudolf S. Hecht, Chairman of the Economic Policy Commission of the American Bankers Association, recently told the members of, the American Institute of Banking. The institute is the educational section bf the association and he emphasized the point that the new era in banking demanded "'that we must stepup our education so that banking shall be fortified for new responsibilities." What the Future Call* For "We must broaden our social conception of banking," Mr. Hecht isald. "Not only for th9 technical operations of the new banking must we fit ourselves, but both as individuals and an organized profession we must charge ourselves with serious consideration of the social problems that are Involved. Already we hear murmurings and fears and doubts as to whether the chapges that are coming about In banking in the extension of group and branch systems do not constitute the looming of a new financial menace, a monopolistic threat not only to the individual unit banker, but to the financial liberty of society in general. I am stating these things merely as facts that must be taken Into consideration In our studies. "Public opinion cannot be ignored by any business, least of all by banking, which is admittedly seml-publle in character and is, therefore, subject to special supervision by the constituted authorities. If banking develops tendencies that give rise to public fears, we must so conduct ourselves as to reassure all doubts. "For this is true,--that business succeeds only by serving society--that no business can permanently prosper which does not both render service to the public and at the same time convince the public that it is rendering that service. Banking, therefore, must take cognizance of what the public is saying of this now era in its development "It must bo part of the technique of modern banking administration, whatever form our enlarged institutions take, to avoid the creation of monopolies, or even the appearance of such a centralisation of financial power as to be able to exercise an undue influence over public or private finance or other lines of business. The public's right to the safeguards of fair competition must be observed. r- Must Preserve Individual Initiative "It must also be an item of management that individual initiative ana opportunity shall be maintained. If America has outstripped other nations In the distribution of the benefits of Its progress, it is due to the fact that there are no barriers of social caste or business tradition against advancement for character, ability, and initiative. American business has learned that it serves itself best by encouraging by every practical means individual ambition and initiative, and hurts Itself most by repressing or neglecting them. Competition for efficiency, both within an organization and between organizations, will prevent any institution from long enduring Jn which maintenance of opportunity and recognition of initiative are not controlling principles of management. As heads of the greatest of our financial and industrial institutions stand men who started from the humblest of beginnings. Through all the grades of executive authority and reward stand men in positions in keeping, generally speaking, with their individual merits. , personally, see no Teason for fearing that the enlarged banking organisations which the future may hold would necessarily supply future bank employees with any less opportunity for achievement than unit banking. Again, a major consideration of administration In any multiple form of banking organization must be Its public relations in every community it touches. Its foremost consideration must be actually and visibly to serve the economic upbuilding of that community. No system will be long tolerated whose local members work, or are suspected as working, to draw economic strength from one place to enlarge the finanlcal power of another. The local unit bank has always been part and parcel of the communities where it lives--and no system can last which does not make it a major principle of operating technique to serve, and not exploit, the communities Into whose business lives it enters."
