TIME.
Now, dear reader, will you
study this all important question
with me? As you know from
reading the Bible that when
Jesus and His deciples were at
the marriage feast that Mary,
the mother of Jesus, toid him
that they had no wine and his
reply to her was, “woman what
have Ito do with thee, my hour
has not yet come”, but when his
hour did come they found that at
his command they had plenty of
wine When the Centnarian came
to Jesus to get him to lead his
servant at the same time that
Jesus spoke the work the word
the fever left the patient and be
was healed. When they told
Jesus that Lazarus was sick he
still abode where he was for
three days and then went and
raised him from the dead, there
by showing the power of God.
Did you notice that when
Jaaob was alone then there ap
peared a man and wrestled with
him when it was dark, but when
day broke he broke Jacob’s
thigh or dislocated it and then
the man became an angel to
Jacob. Now dear friends let us
see what that means When the
thought was thrown out of
Jacob’s mind then day broke for
him and the contented thought
was the angel As long as we
can see only the evil or faults of
other people it seems to be dark
aud we can only see them as
common men, but when we be
gin to look for the good deeds
and listen to their kind words
then they will appear as angels
and day will break for us and we
will begin to live a happy life.
Now reader, did you know that
there was a time for all things
and that at no other time, accord
ing to the Bible, could Jesus
have lived and done the things
that he did, and at no other time
could I sit here and write these
same words. Did you ever have a
desire to know the inner mean
ing which is the spiritual mean
ing of your Bible. I am very
greatful for the day that I start
ed to study with unity school of
Christianity, located at 917 Tracy
Avenue, Kansas City, Mo. Then
with Dr. Frank B. Robinson, of
Moscow, Idaho. At that time I
could only see the Bible from a
literal standpoint, but now I see
it so different. Now dear friends
I want you to read this with an
unbiased mind and follow me
closely from time to time on the
foilwing subjects: Judgement,
Love, Mercy, and many others
and spend a few dollars with the
above named publications and
learn how to read your Bible and
subscribe to the Wheeler County
Eagle and study with me and I
will tell you of some of the wond
erful revelation that I received
from the Lord, and it may be
that you may profit by the same.
Your friend,
C. Lowery.

BANK CHARTERING
POLICY REVIEWED
State Official Declares Correct
Principles in Licensing Banks
Are Essential for Sound
Banking Conditions
PHILADELPHIA. — Sound public
policy in chartering banks was dis
cussed by Carl K. Withers, Commis
sioner of Banking and Insurance of the
State of New Jersey, before the Eastern
Conference on Banking Service, held
here recently under the auspices of the
American Bankers Association. He de
dared that "few questions bearing on
the future stability and security of our
banking systems loom as more impor
tant than that of a sound policy to be
pursued in the chartering of banks.”
Alluding to competitive policies ot
both state and national banking au
thoritles to charter the most banks in
the past, he said that "this country was
over-banked, and that aside from any
other consideration, economic or other
wise, this condition was brought about
largely through an unwise, unsafe and
unthinking charter policy, alternating
between the state and national sys
tems, which has marked and ham
pered banking progress in this country
since its very Inception.”
Political Influence
He decried political considerations
in connection with the chartering of
banks, saying: “Political influence has
no more place in banking than it has
in the deliberations of our highest
tribunal —The Supreme Court of the
United States. Until this is recognized
and brought into being within both our
state and national systems, we may
never feel safe against the shifting
sands of political expedience.”
As to the "element of sometimes
ridiculous competition heretofore ex
isting between the state and national
systems," he said that much may be
said in favor of the progress made In
recent years. In many states there ex
ists a practical working agreement bo
tween local supervising authorities
and the federal authorities, whereby
all charter applications are mutually
considered on a basis of community
need rather than competitive advan
tage as between systems. In some
states this arrangement goes even fur
ther in the refusal of the one authority
to even consider a charter while pend
Ing with the other, he declared.
Aside from the competitive and po
litical aspects ot our future charter
policy, he continued, there are several
others more individual and local which
merit consideration. Among these he
mentioned honesty of purpose, com
munlty need, the character of manage
ment and adequacy of capital.
Most state laws make reference to
the "character, responsibility and fit
ness" ot the incorporators ot a new
bank, he said, continuing:
“So Important do I conceive this fac
tor to be, that 1 place It first among
those for consideration, for unless the
motive is sound, honest and sincere,
there Is little likelihood that the result
ant Institution in its service to the
community will reflect other than the
spirit of Its founders.
The Lessons of the Past
"Too often in the past have charters
been granted to promoters pure and
simple—not always pure, and by no
means simple. The country was dotted
with such. The experience has been
costly and, it is to be hoped, the lesson
well learned, not only by charter-grant
ing authorities, but the public.”
Other factors to be considered as
among the most Important in granting
new bank charters, he said, are the
number of institutions already serving
the area, the record of earniugs of ex
isting institutions, the number of fail
ures since 1920, and the reasons there
for, public convenience and advantage,
the reasonable prospects for growth
of the community, expectation of prof
itable operation and whether a branch
bank could servo as well.
"Sound public policy demands that
no new banks be chartered unless
there is a definite, necessitous and
permanent need,” he declared. "Sound
mergers, consolidations and the sen
sible extension ot branch banking are
much to be preferred to any general
movement toward a flood of new char
ters. But here again we must guard
carefully against monopoly or un
bridled branch competition, either ot
which might become as dangerous as
the organization of new banks.”
Public Confidence
Challenging a recently published
statement that there is an "apparent
loss of public confidence in banks,’
William A. Boyd of Ithaca, N. Y.,
asks why. it this were true, bank de
posits are constantly increasing. "1
maintain that any banking institution
which has continued to serve its com
munlty since the trying days of 1929
must be enjoying the respect and con
fidence of that community, and 1 am
sure that the very large majority of
banking institutions which have come
through this depression have never had
to 'regain' public confidence,” he says.
Trust Institutions
A directory of trust Institutions pub
lished by the Trust Division, American
Bankers Association, lists 2,853 fnsti
tutlous having aggregate capital funds
of 34,416,000,000 and total resources of
335,443,000,000. It shows a total of 6,949
men and women engaged in this phase
of bank work. The trust lustltutlons
comprise 1.356 state-chartered trust
companies and banks and 1,497 na
tional banks with trust departments
located In 1,684 cities aud town*.

MANY comparisons have been
made in print of the nutri
tional value of canned foods
which are harvested at high speed
and clapped Into their containers
at the very moment of prime ripe
ness and the “fresh" foods that
are offered In our city markets,
but It remained for J. C. Richen
drfer of Everson. Wash., to bring
the real facts into bold relief.
He stated recently that so-called
fresh fruits and vegetables are
giving canned fruits and vege
tables the hardest competition, not
because they are any better or any
cheaper, but because of the simple
fact that they are allowed to
parade under the false banner of
freth.

Better Breakfasts
\ ! OiSWWiH
4(1 ET us be gay" is the beet |
sort of motto for the I
1 4 breakfast table. This is a !
meal at which cheerfulness is i
really an asset.
If the morning sun comes into I
your dining room, encourage it by
lifting the blinds to its golden
splendor. If the room faces north
or west, perhaps you can find a
sunny corner elsewhere in which
to set the breakfast table—a
bridge table will do nicely, if the
family is small, and it is fun to
make of the first meal of the day
a movable feast.
' Field Flower China
Use your gayest china, some- j
th vig with field flowers on it, or ।
bright plates and cups in a variety
of tones—should it not be of egg-1
shell thinness, it matters not at
all for this Informal meal.
Pupil of the Great Escoffier
Suggests a Sweet Potato Dish
By Barbara B. Brooks
FpOURAINE, one of the old prov-
A Inces of France and a cradle of
gastronomic delight, produced the
greatest chef the world has ever
known —the famous Escoffier. Max
ine, a pupil of Escoffier and chief
chef of a fashionable American res
taurant, reveres the traditions of
the master but has found in Amer
ican foods the inspiration for some
of his most successful dishes.
V Maxine tells of the occasion
when he was called from his kitch
en to receive the congratulations of
a member of a European royal
house who was visiting this coun
try. Only a Frenchman could
have conceived such a delicious
dish, he was told. He smiled as
he acknowledged the praise, for
the secret of the dish was the use
of corn flakes, than which there is
.no more distinctly American food.
! Maxine has a penchant for cere
als as an aid in dressing up and
adding to the nutritive value of
various dishes, and below is a re
cipe he gives for Sweet Potato
Balls.
Sweet Potato Balls
8 cr 6 sweet polo- 6 marshmallows
toes (boiled) 1 cJp corn flakes
H cup crushed pine- (rolled fine)
apple (drained) teaspoon, salt
1 tablespoon butter
Boil, peel and mash sweet pota
toes and add pineapple which has
been well drained: butter and salt.
Form into balls with a marshmal
low in the center of each ball. Roll
in corn flake crumbs; place in a
greased baking dish and bake in a
hot oven. Temperature 400 de
grees. Time 15 to 20 minutes.
