interpretations of the yule-log—

have had an Important place in

From childhood, man wants to dig for

National Association Declares
Community Interests Demand
Protection Against Idle
Rumors
S30TH in their advertising and in
their direct contacts with cus
tomsrs and others, bankers should
“consciously and persistently devote
more time and thought to keeping
people mindful of the fact that while
the bank has many obligations toward
Its customers, equally Is It true that
the depositor also lias certain obliga
tions to the bank to enable It to prop
erly maintain Its position In the com
munity,” a recent statement of the
American Bankers Association de
clares.
“A bank admittedly Is a semi-public
Institution and there Is a mutuality
of obligation resting upon both the
banker and his customers to maintain
the effective functioning of that insti
tution that is superioi to the personal
Interests of either,” It say*.
Bankers might well consciously de
vote greater effort to building up the
public viewpoint in their communities
that due to their public obligations
and burden of public Interest, the
banks are entitled to protection
against ill-informed cr malicious gos
sip and rumors, the statement says.
“As to banks In some states, bank
slander laws afford this protection,"
it points out. “We recommend that
this protection be availed of by definite
action wherever practical both as a
matter of immediate expediency and
also to awaken public opinion as to
the dangers of idle gossip about a
community’s banking Institutions."
What Can Be Do,.e
Farmers should rid themselves oi
any false hope of outside aid from
legislation. The only recourse lelt for
the producer on a reduced price level la j
to,produce his goods at reduced costs,
and nearly every ficolltfnjies'iti-'ptoa'Uc- farmer can likely put

as possible the materials they U3e, and
get away from cash purchases until
prices come down proportionately on
the things they buy. The cheapest
way In the farming business Is to raise
