The Rev. Dr. Auer, who teaches phi>?ophy at Tufts Colege, says men ifadd not seek to AVOID pain and offering but to UNDERSTAND ktr. That ifj better than the old theory tilt God actually wanted men to When anaesthetics were first used the clergy of Britain denounced them i« interefering with God's wishes. God wishes us ot suffer when we have our legs cut off, and men muyt ci'" interfere with His plans by using thloroform, thus cheating the Lord, said the preachers. An ingenious doctor answered, to the confusion of clergymen, quoting tie B'»ok of Genesis, asserting that the L«rd was the One to use anaesth etics when He "caused a dep sleep to | fall upon Adam” before removing ] of Adam’s ribs to -make Eve. Men should understand pain and sufferine, of course, an the r end philosopher Auer says. But they should also concentrate on eliminat- ine both by scientific means, and especially by abolishing poverty. The best thing in Herbert Hoover’s Tfcch of acceptance, the bes*t thing said by any Presidential candidate ‘ince Lincoln, was his statement ex pressing the hope that by giving every man a job, well paid, poverty may be made to disappear.

Notice The Milledgeville Clearing House Association, the four Banks of the city comprising the membership, wish to make the following announcement in persuant of a rule adopted at a recent meeting of the association: Banks have for a long time realized their losses from smalll checking accounts—the smaller the balance and more active the accounts, the greater the loss. In applying a service charge, it is not a matter of making money, but saving it. We feel that the unprofitable account should at least bear part of the loss incident to earning it on the books, and we sincerely trust the charge will not have to be applied to a single account. We trust that customers carrying a balance of $50.00 or less will increase their balances so as to enjoy the sen-ice of the bank free, as heretofore, and without entailing loss to the banks. The co-operation of friends and customers in eleminating losses of this kind is asked. One of the weakest points in the southern business world is the fact that a large proportion of our people are accumulating neither money or property. The first duty of every one. in a business way, is to gain financial independence, and this can be done only by saving a part of what we make. It is our hope to see every bank patron have money ahead for emergencies, opportunities, or for current use as the case may be. MILLEDGEVILLE CLEARING HOUSE ASSOCIATION Milledgeville Banking Co.
