begun talking for an
farmer by withdrawing money from
circulation making it harder for the
farmer to Square
Times.
The Reflector is of the opinion
no institution is more helpful
to a community than a bank. In
stead of withdrawing money from
circulation and making it harder
for farmers to borrow, the bank
affords a place of safety where the
farmers can deposit their money in-
stead of keeping it hid at some in-
secure place around home. It does
not withdraw the money from
to deposit in bank, but money
is withdrawn from circulation when
it is hid in places about the house.
Banks are always ready t j lend
on proper security, and people
having money in bank can with-
draw it and lend it to others when-
ever they choose to do so.
It is a good indication of
in a community to have a good
bank in which the farmers, as well
as business men, deposit their
plus money, and it is a wise farmer
who keeps his money in bank instead
of taking the risk upon himself of
keeping it protected at home.

Good Advice, This.
Some people have an idea that if
a man puts himself on the markets
of the world for sale, if one has the
wherewithal to pay for him, it is
right to buy. There is strange
ethics this theory, and yet it is
the hypothesis upon which great
many people base their conduct.
They argue they have a right to
whatever they can buy with their
money even if it is a man; One

enough to do so, no man has a right

We have felt that Glenn deserved

for exaltation to a high office. But
faithful party service plus the

have only respect and regard . Major

A Careless People.
The carelessness and oversight of

New International Questions.
Every war brings to the front
new questions of an international
character to be passed u by the
different governments and to add
new chapters to international law
Already two such questions have
been brought out by the war between
Russia and Japan. One of these
involves the treatment of the wire-
less system of telegraphy, the others
the use of floating mines at sea
These are two of the new problems
which the present war has brought

In any event, there will be some-
thing for the international laws of
the foreign departments to busy
themselves about after hostilities
have been concluded, if not before.
