Most people get out of debt at intervals in their lives, but how about this “national debt” of ours? Have we ever been without it? A. Cheer up, under President Andrew Jackson the national debt was reported as totaling $37,000 on January 1, 1835, and a few months later it was completely wiped out. Even now, it is being gradually re duced, and if the Nation should keep out of its occasional wars the nation al debt could tie paid. National debts are essentially “war debts.” jPP$g? Tlie Secret Of Success The secret of success is hard work and clear thinking. The industrious person earns more than his necessary expenses, and the thinking person saves this surplus and deposits it in a GOOD STRONG BANK. It is never too soon to begin saving. Get the habit of saving. The sooner you start the * greater will be your success. Financial success is simply a matter of sticking to your saving habit—making your character stronger than any temptation to spend. Nobody saves much at a time. Ev erybody can save a little at a time. Try the saving habit and see how fast; the small change will grow into dollars, and the dollars into tens and hundreds. We invite you to start an account with us. It will be appreciated, whether large or small. We will give you Safety and Service. BANK OF THOMSON The Old Bank. Asked And Answered BY J. E. JONES.

Chicago, October 8 to 11, 1871; Boston, November 9, 1852. * * Q. How many men at sixty-five are self-supporting? A. Life insurance copipanies scare a good many people to death before that age but the survivors who meet the question are six in one hundred. Q, What is the estimated wealth 0t the United States, and how does It compare with Great Britain? A. Honorable Theodore Burton, Ortio is a member of the World Debt funding Commission, estimated our OW« wealth variously from $220,000,- 4100,000 to $280,000,000,000, and that pi Great Britain at only about $80,- 000,000,000, probably not more than p third as much as ours. ♦ * Q, What was the origin of the $Utj system? A. The origin of trial by jury is pot traceable to any single legisla tor or any particular period. It §ppm$ to have had its beginning in certain primitive customs of north ern European races and received spe cial developments from different na- ttons. By the Anglo-Sanona a per- gpn who was accused of crime was permitted to summon twelve of his neighbors, called compurgators, who firore to his innocence. This was the origin of an institution which took settled and vigorous form after the Norman Conquest, gradually de veloping into its present form. * * Q, What was the purpose of the Geological Survey expedition through the Grand Canon of the Colorado River last year? A. Colonel C. H. Birdseye was in Charge of this expedition, which made • careful and complete survey of the power resources of the Colorado River. * * Q, What is a shooting star? A. A meteor in a state of incan descence, caused by friction when Q. Please tell me by whom, and how, the Ku Klux Klan originated, and what was its purpose? A. This is a sort of double-bar reled order*, since the Ku Klux Klan was first founded as a political or ganization in Tennessee early in 1868. It had 500,000 members, and their object was to oppose the reconstruc tion acts and the elevation of the colored race and to prevent the latter from exercising the franchise obtain ed in the Civil War. The movement was in the interest of the complete supremacy of the Burbon whites in the South, and it was likewise di rected against the invading Northern ers who came either as officials or “carpet-baggers.” The new Ku Klux Klan played copy-cat to the name and ceremonies of its ancester. It was organized in 1916, with its founder Colonel W. J. Simmons of Atlanta, Georgia, as “Imperial Wizard.” Later on W. H. Evans came into the organization as secretary, and under his directing management a great membership was secured. The new Klan has been active in the politics of some States, and it has directed itsxenergies particularly against three races against whom it seems to have hooded but ill-defined prejudices. The national organization is declin ing. ♦ * Q. What Presidents of the United States have died west of the Missis sippi River, and what ones are buried in that region? A. President Harding died in San Francisco. No other Presidents have died or been buried west of Indiana, except Abraham Lincoln, who was buried at Springfield, Illinois. Q. I am a Filipino and I am now living in the United States. Why is it that Presidents in the United States are chosen as the result of. two elections, while they are voted for but one time in the Philippines? A. The confusion in tire question is due to the unfamiliarity of the questioner with affairs in the United States. The “presidents” elected in the Philippines are the municipal or town presidents who are equivalent, to the mayors in the States. Evi dently the questioner regards the primaries as a separate election, thus making what he regards a double election. Municipal presidents are elected by a direct vote of the people in the Philippines and they serve three years . Q. By what authority has the franking privilege been given to Mrs. Harding and Mrs. Wilson? How is this mail distinguished in the post offices?
