Indicted for robbery, larceny

Scrub Bull went on trial for his
I life at Laurel, Mississippi, recent-
ly. It seems that for some time
people had suspicions that Mr. Bull
' was hindering the right and law-
I ful development of the dairy indus-
try, thereby "maliciously and wil-
fully lowering production and de-
i creasing profits in the dairy busi-
ness,” says the Bulletin of the
' American Bankers Association Ag-
! ricultural Commission in comment-
ing on the case.
This, it says, was the first trial
■ of its kind ever held in that sec-
tion and was attended by several
hundred people. The jury, repre-
senting every vocation within the
boundaries of the Laurel trade ter-
ritory, rendered a unanimous ver-
dict of "guilty.” The death sen-
tence was pronounced, “but during
the night, before the sentence
could be carried out, friends of the
convict secretly spirited him away
and he has not been seen since.”
The arraignment came during the
Milk Products Show sponsored by
the banks of Laurel. People at-
tending the show had the opportu-
nity of also attending the bull’s
“trial” and went away firmly con-
vinced of the seriousness of lax
and out-of-date methods in the pur-
suit of dairying. The purposes of
both the Milk Products Show and
the trial were threefold, namely:
to develop public sentiment for
more and better Jerseys; to foster
a more cooperative spirit for dairy-
ing and livestock growing, and to
' promote tick eradication.
The banks of Laurel entered
into a cooperative arrangement in
their efforts for fostering agricul-
tural development and successful
farming in the community, offering
$2,165 as premiums to the out-
standing farm workers throughout
the territory during 1929. An in-
structive booklet has been issued,
showing the agricultural activity
of the banks, together with an-
nouncements of contests for farm-
ers, exhibits in the bank lobbies
and prizes offered.

The Georgia Bankers Associa-
tion in cooperation with the State
College of Agriculture has sponsor-
ed a series of farmers’ institutes
in various parts of the State of
an entirely new character. The
principal feature is a large and
komprehensive exhibit transported
in four large trucks and set up at
each stop. When set up it fills a
space 40 by 60 feet and consists
of panels, charts, and models on
practically every phase of agricul-
ture. .iL, - —

holding to-
gether his half-
frozen army
by the sheer
magnetism of
his character
at Valley
Forge. But I
visualize some- 1
lion to issue a nationwide warning
to its members with instructions
for combating this form of crime.
The warning as sent out by James
E. Baum in charge of the associa-
tion’s Protective Department says:
“Heavy losses are being sus-
tained through. cancelled vouchers
and statements stolen from the
mail boxes of bank depositors in
apartment and office buildings,
thus divulging the depositors’ bal-
ances and supplying models for
forged checks. As a step to put
customers on guard against these
methods, banks are urged to in-
struct every depositor to whom
they mail statements of deposit ac-
counts on the last business day of
each month to notify them prompt-
ly if such statements are not re-
ceived by the close of the next day.
“Also banks should educate de-
positors to safeguard blank checks
and cahcelled vouchers as they
would money. Such paper stolen
by forgers soon puts real money
in their hands. If all bank checks
and cancelled vouchers were se-
curely kept in safes instead of fil-
ing cabinets or desks, the check
crooks would be denied their chief
stock in trade, namely, genuine
blank checks and signatures.
Warnings to depositors against
leaving blank or cancelled checks
accessible to sneak thieves or bur-
glars should be sent out at once.
"Estimates broadcast by surety
companies indicate that individu-
als, merchants, hotels and others
outside of banking are shouldering
more than 99 per cent of the total
amount of forgery losses. The
bulk of forgery loss on checks is
sustained by those who are willing
to risk accepting them without re-
liable proof of identity or title of
the presenter.
"Years ago the Protective De-
partment of the American Bankers
Association adopted the slogan,
‘Strangers are not always crooks,
but crooks are usually strangers.’
If those outside of banking could
be prevailed upon to observe this
rule and think about it when con-
sidering accepting a check for their
merchandise or services, for which
they are also asked to give a sub-
stantial sum in cash in change, one
of the biggest aids to the forgery
NEW YORK—Active operations
in many cities of mail box thieves,
who open bank communications
to customers, containing details of
their accounts and cancelled
checks showing their banking sig-
natures, and use this material in
perpetrating check forgeries, have

thing that Craig B. Hazlewood
holds a more
astounding spectacle in many re-
spects than any of these. It is the
onrush of our business life. Our
economic progress plunges ahead
at a rate unheard of in the history
of the nations of the world and
every industrial and financial lead-
er is daily brought face to face with
new and perplexing problems re-
quiring the highest courage and in-
telligence for their solution.
Ninety billions a year, they tell
us, tills country is now producing
in new wealth. The rate of in-
crease is even more staggering
than the amount. It is difficult to
say where it may lead us in even
ten or fifteen years.
We are moving exceptionally
fast. Our economic and industrial
structure is placing before us prob-
lems of greater and greater magni-
tude. Few men can see far ahead.
Few are in complete control, for
this is a changing world, as even
the most inexperienced business
man will readily testify. Our meth-
ods of adjusting ourselves rapidly
to economic changes and of cooper-
ating are far from perfect.
What an opportunity the leader-
ship of five, ten or fifteen years
from now presents! What an ad-
venture it will be! What responsi-
bilities it will lay upon the broad-
est shoulders that may be found!
This is the challenge to leadership
as I see it. In the hands of the
young men must rest the respon-
sibility for this leadership.
Boys Who Reached the Pinnacles
Business is full of the romance
of youngsters whose chief char-
acteristic was working hard and
keeping at it. There was a green
farmer boy who.decided he would
rather stand behin 1 a counter than
follow a plow. He seemed so ob-
viously lacking in sales ability
that for a time no merchant would
hire him. He failed in his first
position, and in his second his
salary was reduced. He even
agreed that he was a misfit—but
he stuck. Out of his first five
stores, I believe, three failed. But
he persisted and worked hard.
And that boy, Frank W. Wool-
worth, became the greatest retail
merchant in the world with a store
in every city of eight thousand or
more population in this country.
There was another lad who
clerked in a grocery store sixteen
hours a day and studied mathe-
matics in his odd moments. He
became interested in the doings of
the steel plant whose employees
traded at this store. He began to
study steel and sought a position
in the plant. He carried a sur-
veyor’s chain and drove stakes. At
night he studied' mathematics and
engineering. He did not despair.
He could not be diverted. He kept
the pressure on for seven years.
And that boy, Charles Schwab,
mastered the iron industry and be-
came one of the country’s great
industrial leaders.
There was a lad who sold papers
on a train. When he grew up, sev-
eral million men and a score of
billions of dollars of capital were
given profitable employment
through his inventions. Even in
middle life, Thomas Edison con-
tinued to work twenty hours a day,
if necessary to achieve his purpose.
Leadership is not play. Leader-
ship offers countless positions of
varying opportunity, of which the
highest pinnacles will mean almost
unbearable responsibility in the
new era. There will be men with
the fire and iron to qualify even
for these places. Such men must
have had the very finest prepara-
tion and the most grueling tests.
Their reward will be the attain-
ment of these highest pinnacles
of achievement, and the rendering
of an immeasurable service to their
times.
