SATURDAY
—YOUR BEST ASSET IS A BANK ACCOUNT. It cannot
depreciate in value, it is the proof of progress.
—Every person who has put money in the bank has profited
by the wisdom of so doing.
—You can never tell when you will need money and it is an
easy matter to put part of what you earn in the bank regu-
larly. You must toil regularly, and that is harder than sav-
ing regularly. BEGIN WITH $1.

CAPITAL SURPLUS AND PROFITS, $250,000
WEATHERFORD, TEXAS
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 5.—Formation
of a $12,000,000 foreign trading cor-
poration under the Edge act lor the
j purpose of financing business deal-
ings between the cotton growing
■states of the South and foreign coun-
tries to be held in New Orleans on
Saturday, Nov. 6, and to be attended J
by prominent bankers from all of
the southern states.
The meeting was called by Robert
F. Maddox, president of the Atlanta
National bank, as chairman of a
special committee formed at the
recent annual convention of the
American Bankers’ association held
in Washington.
The committee was organized for
the purpose of advising as to the
feasibility of the plan and was con-
tinued by the association to perfect
the organization and financing of
the proposed corporation. The bank-
ers association unanimously express-
ed approval of the plan and directed
that such a body be formed, it was
announced.
Harding Abandons Headquarters.
Marion, Ohio, Nov. 5.—In final prep-
aration for his first real vacation in
months. President-elect Harding today
disposed of the last remaining business
of his campaign here and virtually
abandoned the headquarters building
which housed his office and campaign
assistants since July. With Mrs. Har-
ding and a party of friends he will
leave tomorrow for a month's vacation
trip to Southern Texas and probably
Panama. Soon after his vacation trip,
which is to end early in December,
Harding is expected to take prelimi-
nary steps toward the consultation of
statesmen, which he promised through-
out the campaign, for the formulation
of America’s program toward a world
peace association. Whether he actu-
ally will assemble such council before
his inauguration, however, is regarded
as doubtful.

Quick Service Garage
The meeting to be held In New
Orleans on Saturday will be the first
held by the committee since the
Washington convention and is to
arrange the details for the actual
formation of the corporation. The
new corporation will eventually
trade in all products of the South,
but cotton will be the staple which
will receive first attention.
It was pointed out by Chairman
Maddox that the formation of the
company Is not for the purpose of
controlling the cotton situation or
in aiding the holding of cotton for
higher prices, but rather for the
purpose of financing the sales of
| cotton and other products to foreign
j countries and providing the banking
facilities for this class of business.
