MANY ROBBERIES
ARE BEING CQMMITTEB.
f
. There never haa been a time in the history of the country
"When so mauy robberies are " being cozmnitted in the diffeirenv
parts of the country. We advise our friends to not have any
insney lying around the house. If you have any that you do
not need, place it in some strong bank, or loan it to one of the
many good trust companies in this county—Burlington has sev
eral that will take your money and loan it for you at six^per
cent interest, and it ^^11 be perfectly safe, or the banks will
allow you four per cent, interest, and all the banks in this county
are in good financial condition. The Burlington banks' are es
pecially strong, you stand no chance to lose any funfs placed with
them, but if you have it around the house, even though you
think no one Imows it, you may be greatly surprised some moni-
iag to find it gone. 'Only the other day a case in point was called
our attention, a woman who had toiled for years,- selling eggs,
milk and butter and had saved up about four hundred dollars—
I She would not lend it and would not put it in the bank, she was
waiting to make it five hundred dollars before investing it in any
thing. She had it hid in her room behind an" old picture hanging
upon the wall, and thought no one would ever think to look behind
an old picture to iind money, and besides she argued that she stay
ed in tWs room and was hardly ever away long at a time, but one
day she stepped out to water her cov/ and to move her grazing
place, and when she returned the money was gone, but too late—
the savings of a life-time were gone, no clue, no chance to get it
back. ■ If she had only put it in the bank or lei some trust company
have it, the money-would still be hers and it would have been
making her something besides. Do not take such chances as this
woman did, it’s foolish.
PUT YOUR MONEY T0‘ WORK—and remember it works
while you sleep, and. when it is out working you can sleep better.
BUCK UPS
Stop your damned coyote howling.
Chew some sand and get some grit;
Don't sit at your desk a-growlin’, ,
Jump right up and BOOST a bit.
If youv stock has hit low-leve[
' Y.iu know it’s simply GOT TO RISK;
So scrii your teeth—defy the Devil,
Taik “GOOD TIMES” and ADVERTISE.
CHEERFlil. SENTI.MENT IN BUSINESS CIRCLES.
That all America i:* anxious to make the best of adverse cir
cumstances and to look forward to better t.hingSi is clearly indi
cated by the cheerful sentiment, very geperaliy expressed in
business circles. Every favorable development is hailed with de
light and efforts are made to forget the unwelcome conditions
of the past. .
Inauguration of the new banking system was effected last
week without a ritch. The reductions in re.serve requirements per
mitted transfers of a portion of the reserves to the new reserve
banks withoutany embarrassment whatever. The New York
-banks, issuing their first weekly statement under the new con
ditions, shows.excess re.‘‘erves exceeding $176,000,000. No doubt
the banks of this city will today make a favorable statement.
The large surplus reserves will tend to bring about lower rates
for the use of money and if this results thp effect will be bene
ficial to the investment market. Wherefonly four or five per cent
can be' obtained for funds used for commercial purpo.ses capital
will seek investment in bonds and stocks. A natural demand for
'securities on the part of American investors will be the very
be.st safeguard against possible demonetization resulting from
European selling. Hence lower rates for the use of money will
be a welcome development.
Reports of cotton ginned, to November 14 show the largest
iuantity ginned for this season of the year not-excepting the
year 1911, when there was a maximum crop. From this it is
apparent that the Southern planters have not been idle while their
friends at Washington have been busy raising a fund to help to
carry the big crop. The plariters- having put their product into
bales, are prepared to store cotton and accept such advances as the
pool may arrange to offer out of the $100,000,000 pool contribut
ed Ky the banks. Reopening of the cotton exchanges affords a
market-for this commodity, but prices will be depressed below
. noirmal market values until the forei^ demand is renewed. The |
situation, however, has been much improved during th2 past week, j
In branches of industry which are stimulated by orders from
thfi belligerent nations there is improved activity- ,A better street. Monday afternoon
mand for pig iron is noted and as this is the foundation on which
the whole steel trade rests the change may foreshadow more or
ders for the steel mills. Some potnons of the West are being
scoured for horses to be shipped to Europe.
Colder weather has given some zest to the retail trade; which
will probably continue brisk until aft^r the holidays. ; .
