loans to business men and of Invest*
ments in securities created by corpo-
rate enterprises. The depo ts of a
bank are not kept In the vaults as
Idle cash but are employed in these
Ioans and investments to earn the
money to pay tho expenses of tho bank
bo that it can render s ivicos to Its
customers and also pay them interest
yn such deposits as bear interest. If
there were no such thin'? as unsound
business men or enterprises there
would be no such thing as unsound
assets in a bank.
It is of course the unquestioned duty
of tho banker to choose only sound
loans and investments, but the dilll*
culty of such judgment, and human
judgment is never Infallible, is plainly
increased In such times and under such
conditions as we have been passing
through, with many businesses not
making expected earnings and there-
f >re hampered in meeting their obliga-
tions. Unfortunately soma invest-
ments and loans created by persons
outside tho bunks which found their
way into tho banks in a relatively few
instances have reflected the unwise
business policies and conditions that
became more than usually prevalent
in our business activities and contribu-
t d to th® difficulty of banking. Th®
vast bulk of bank assets, however,
are 100 per cent sound above all ques-
tion.
Look this list over. It will pay you
to have us fill your grocery orders.

of the highest ability and character.
In still another v ay can the poop!®
themselves contribute to maintaining |
the ability of their banks to meet their '

them tho fullest possible conflder.ro.

Rev. H. A. Connway is here this
week visiting his son, C. W. Conway,
and his daughter, Mrs. Roy Poer. He
! just recently returned from Califor-
nia, where he had spent the winter
with another son.
Mrs. Martha Carr White, wife of
E. C. White, resident of S> uth Ward
for the past two years, died in a
sanitarium in Lubbock on Tuesday
of last week and was burieid in that
city the next day.
Mrs. White was in the sanitarium
undergoing treatment for mastoid
trouble but the disease was too far
advanced for physicians to effective-
ly check it when she entered the
hospital.
Mrs. White was a most excellent
Christian character, much beloved by
' all her neighbors, and was a most
i devoted wife and mother. Possibly
woman in the South Mani com-
munity was more highly esteemed.
The family have the sympathy of
: many friends.
