Federal Reserve Helps
Country Banks.
Atlanta, Ga., July 10.—Country
banks which have joined the Federal
Reserve system and thereby given
themselves access to a large reser
voir of credit are taking a big hand
in community agricultural develop
ment, in the opinion of leading Geor
gia agriculturalists.
The smaller banks which have a
membership in the Federal Reserve
system, it was pointed out, are in a
better position to aid the farmers
than those outside the system, and
in many instances are meeting agri
cultural needs which hffiWrto found
it necessary to deal direct with the
big city banks.
The Federal Reserve Bank of At
lanta, which covers the sixth federal
district ,composed of the states of
Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Tennes
see, Mississippi and Louisiana, pro
vides large credit accommodations
to the agricultural interests, but in
every instance these accommodations
are handled through the member
banks scattered throughout the six
states. M. B. Wellborn, governor of
the Federal Reserve Bank here, said
today that agricultural paper carried
Heavy Toll Taken By
Tornadoes.
Atlanta, Ga., July 10.—One hun
dred and fifty-seven dead, 1,200 in
jured, 5,280 people homeless, and
a property damage of over 820,000,-
000.00 in the South is the toll taken
by three tornadoes and a cloudburst
iti two months, according to a state
ment issued today by the American
Red Cross.
This constitutes one of the most
destructive series of storms the South
has experienced in many years, Red
Cross officials declare.
A relief fund of approximately
$138,275.00 is now being' adminis
tered for the sufferers in over eigh
teen Southern communities by Red
Cross workers. Homes are being re
built, crops replanted, and pictures of
ruin and desolation transformed
again into scenes of normal life and
prosperity.
To local belief efforts the Red Cross
contributed funds and trained work
ers, giving communities the benefit
of its experience in over 400 other
disasters.
“All that relief can do is at most
little,” said Joseph Logan, Southern
Red Cross manager. “Following

Many a Gloomy Countenance in
Thomson Now Lightens With
Happiness.
A bad back makes you gloomy.
Can’t be happy with continued
backache.
The aches and pains of a bad back
are frequently due to weak kidneys.
Doan’s Pills are recommended for
weak kidneys.
So Thorrson citizens testify. Ask
your neighbor!
Mrs. H. A. McGahee, O’Neal ami
Railroad Sts., says: “My back and
kidneys were giving me a lot of trou
ble. My kidneys didn’t act right
that these banks by helping their
communinties also help themselves.
Bankers and farmers in many sec
tions of the South are getting closer
together for their mutual growth
and protection, and it will be the pol
icy of the federal bank, as it has been
in the past, to render every possible
assistance to its member Ijanks which
in turn are extending a helping hand
to the farmers.”
Among the things being done by
country banks are financing the im
portation and distribution of pure
bred cattle, developing the interest
of boys and girls in better farming
by organizing pig, sheep, calf, poultry
and garden clubs, promoting greater
crop diversification, promoting local
dairying, financing creameries, and
general agricultural development.
Banks in a number of sections, it was
stated, have increased their deposits
many times as the result of commu
nity agricultural development.

Interest Taken In S. S.
Work.
Atlanta, Ga., July 10.—Reports
from the “Read-a-Book” campaign
of the Georgia Sunday School As
sociation indicate that the people of
Georgia are taking more interest in
Sunday School work. The campaign
to secure Sunday School workers who
will read at least one book each was
instituted by the State Association
with Prof. Willis A. Sutton, of Atlan
ta, as President of the movement.
There is a circulating library of more
than a thousand volumes of books,
covering every phase of Sunclhy
School woru, available and these are
loaned upon request. '
The books are sent to any one who
asks for them, to be kept two weeks,
or until read, and then returned. A
Reading Course Certificate is given
for the reading of twelve approved
books. Requests for books have been
received from all parts of the State,
from insolated districts as well as
from those densely populated. In
dications point to the fact that Geor
gia is becoming more interested in
Religious education and is taking
more interest in Sunday School work
than ever before.

The Secret Of Success
The secret of success is hard work and
Hear 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 fas"
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.
