City's Affairs Being
Handled in Different
Manner Than Formerly
City Manarrr Ketnmihh has ispiied
the fallowing: Ptatpment:
"You my le intoi-pated in know ins:
ebout a few of the (letails which we
are handling in a different way thnn
formerly.
"We have a bank balance of about
$10,000.00 bclonjrinfr to the liRht and
water department. The banks pay us
2 per cent interest on our averaire de
posit. Naturally they all want this
deposit. They make on city warrants
Mhich they purchase up to the amount
of our deposits, the dilierenre between
7 per cent and 2 per cent or 5 per cent.
It Is cuetomary in most cities for
banks to do, this and it I ool business
for them. ' Our bankers being broad
minded men, however, realire that we
are doing the be.H thing for the city
by purchasing a number of our own
warrants ourselves. We have nearly
$5,000 worth of School warrants now
on hand and thus bringing into the
city treasury this extra 5 per cent on
tfie amount of warrants we Jiold in
stead of allowing this to go to the
banks aa it usually does. It would be
better business if we had no outstand
ing warrants whatsoever on which to
pay. 7 per cent interest It is costing
us tolay at the rate of nearly $5,000
per year more than it would cost if
we had no outstanding warrants. The
schools alone have nearly $03,000 in
outstanding warrants bearing 7 per
cent interest or they are nearly, one
year behind with their expenditures.
"Our men who have been formerly
attending only to the duties in the
electrical department are now cheer
fully and faithfully doing'in addition,
whatever wrik we have for them to
do in any" other department of the
city. We have work for them at the
cemetery, the septic farm, the pest
'house and on our streets as occas'on
requires. This does not all together
r-nt vth the approval of those who
think the city should have a man fo
every joo but the men are happier and
more contented to be bus all of the
time and it is saving the city some
money. Our chief engineer la over
hauling the city tractor along with his
other work at the rower plant and as
! soon ns repairs are received from the
factory we will have it ready for work
on the strr-ets.
I "We did a little work last wet-k on
'Second avenue, endeavoring to drain
the water out of that territory, but it
was too muddy to do the work right so
we must wait until the streets dry up
' before we can finish it Our streets all
over town need considerable work n
them which we hope to do when the
j water settles and the mud dries up so
I hnt w can-work on them. By that
time also we ought to have a little
money in from taxation with which
to work."
N. A. KEMMISH.'-
T. V. Roberts Monday tendered his

an of Today Can Present
When Applying for a Position of Trust is
A Well-Wore Savings Bank Book
M
People are realizing that one good thing came out of the war the general knov.ie:lje
that EVERYONE CAN SAVE. It is the frequent and systematic deposits that build vj a
bank account. We are quoting one of the soundest bits of business wisdom that we have
ever heard.. It comes from the man who is at the head of the biggest financial institution
in this part of the country: The Governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.
J. Z. Miller, Jr., Says:-
, "A well worn savings bank book showing systematic and frequent deposits is the
best recommendation a young man can present when applying for a position of trust.
It is not only an evidence of thrift but shows a determination to live on less than the
income, which, in the last analysis, is the road to a competence. Recommendations
and influence of friends of the applicant fade into insignificance .with the employer
when compared with the above mentioned characteristics." .

Study the Above Statement
There is food for reflection. Young men just starting out in life and older ones already
started will get good sound advice that will mean a competence for them in their old age.
It is worth whue thinking over.
