It is often oar pri\ ilejjo to aid customers in solving
problems that, obstruct the avenues of their
business.
~T Such co-operation with its patrcns is a primary
function of a hank—a function which it should
equip itself to fulfill.
For many year? such service has Jjeen the object

is no end of literature. And still the
call of the big city goes out to our
young people in the country in a
manner that is almost irresistible.
There, if anywhere, they think, op-
portunity beckons. They feel that in
the large cities they are more likely
to attain their heart’s ^desire, be it
tame or wealth or hapipness.*
Not are they always in the wrong
when they answer the call to the
city. There is in the metropolis a
wider field for the, full pl§y of* their

pkfylp that by venturing be-

human impulse as old as human

On this subject a writer in the

offers some suggestions which it
would be well for every young adven-
turer to consider. Even the young
person’s parents may find in them
food for thought, a$ will also those
whose Rig city dreams did not >air

young people could be saved much
heartache and disappointment--if be-

A STUPENDOUS DREAM
As a rule man has taken the rivers
as they have been found. But ha's
regarded them as the work of Nature,
and, *while/-in some instances their
cours ?s may h*ve been slightly* alter-
ed, it has remained for some imagi"
native ’ Nebraskans to propose to
build a river, if. that is the term to
use in speaking of such ah enterprise.
At best credit is due the advocates
of the idea for their originality, even
if the project should prove nothing
more th^a an “irridesceijt dfeam.”
