I MARION PROGRESS, MARION, N. C., THURSDAY, AUG. 15, 1929 I. ':.M£ ^ f* § ' j ' TOUTN-AND THE I NEW LEADEKSNIP \n ¥ive MiLLHm Homes Tonight There are times when all a mother’s «ove can’t soothe a fretful baby. No way of telling just what's wrong, yet some thing must be done. Castoria time! A few drops, and Baby has dropped off to sleep. Yet this marvelous means of quieting a restless infant is utterly harmless. There is not one ingredient but what all doctors know and approve, end would let you give your baby every day in the week. In fact Castoria is a purely vegetable product. Gas pains, constipation, even diarrhea can be dis pelled in this same manner. Castoria is older than you are, but physicians still say “nothing better for babies.” An old-fashioned remedy if you count its years, but parents are old-fashioned who still raise babies without ita aid! And at least five million modern mothers keep it handy day and night, for twenty- five million bottles were bought last year! Buy yours now; don’t wait until you need it. Craig B. Hazlewood SAME PRESCRIPTION HE WROTE IN 1892 When Dr. Caldwell started to practice medicine, bade in 1875, the needs for a laxative were not as grea4 as today. People lived nomml lives, ate plain, wholesome food, and got plenty of fresh air. But even that eaxly there were drastic physics and purges for the relief €»f constipation which Dr. Caldwell did not believe were good for human beings. The prescription for constipation that he used early in his practice, and which ke put in drug storee in 1892 under the name of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, i* a liquid vegetable rem^y, intended for women, children and elderly people, and they need just such a mild, safe bowel stimulant. Th« prescriptixi has proven its worth And is now the largei^ selling liquid laxative. It has won the confidence of people who needed it to get relief from neadaches, biliousness, flatulence, indi- gMtion, loss of appetite and sleep, bad Dreatl^ dyspepsia, colds, fevers. At your druggist, or write “Syrup Pepsin,” Dept. BB M»itioello. Illinois, for free trial bottle. By CRAIG B. HAZLEWOOD President American Bankers Associa tion Leadership is a picturesque word. With it, one pictures Hannibal fighting his way through the passes of the Alps— Napoleon in his cam p a 1 g n s—or W'ashington hold ing together hia half-frozen army by the sheer mag netism of his character at Val ley Forge. But I visualize some thing that holds a more astound ing spectacle in many respect* than any of these. It Is the onrush of our business life. Our economic progress plunges ahead at a rate unheard of in the history of the nations of the world and every industrial and financial leader is daily brought face to face with new and perplexing problems requiring the highest courage and intelligence for their solution. Ninety billions a year, they tell us, this country is now producing in new wealth. The rate of increase is even more staggering than the amount. It is difficult to say where it may lead us in even ten or fifteen years. We are moving exceptionally fast. Our economic and industrial structure is placing before us problems of greater and greater magnitude. Few men can see far ahead. Few are in complete control, for this is a chang ing world, as even the most inexperi enced business man will readily tes tify. Our methods of adjusting our selves rapidly to economic changes I and of cooperating are far from per- ! feet. I What an opportunity the leadership \ of five, ten or fifteen years from now I presents! What an adventure it -will be! What responsibilities it will lay , upon the broadest shoulders that may | be found! This is the challenge to j leadership as I see it. In the hands of | the young men must rest the respon-! Bibility for this leadership. Boys Who Reached the Pinnacles Business is full of the romance of youngsters whose chief characteristic •was working hard and keeping at it. There was a green farmer boy who de cided he w’ould rather stand behind a counter than follow a plow. He ' seemed so obviously lacking in sales ability that for a time no merchant would hire him. He failed in his first position, and in his second his salary was reduced. He even agreed that he was a misfit—but he stuck. Out of his first five stores, I believe, three failed. But "he persisted and worked hard. And that boy, Frank W. Wool- worth, became the greatest retail merchant in the world with a store ' bank depositors In apartment and of fice buildings, thus divulging the de positors’ balances and supplying mod els for forged checks. As a step to put customers on guard against these methods, banks are urged to In struct every del)ositor to whom they mail statements of deposit accounts on the last business day of each month to notify them promptly If such state ment are not received by the close of the next day. “Also banks should educate deposi tors to safeguard blank checks and cancelled vouchers as they would money. Such paper stolen hy forgers soon puts real money in their hands. If all blank checks and cancelled vouchers were securely kepi in safes instead of filing cabinets or desks, the check crooks would be denied their chief stock in trade, namely, genuine blank checks and signatures. Warn ings to depositors against leaving blank or cancelled checks accessible to sneak thieves or burglars should be sent out at once. “Estimates broadcast by surety com panies indicate that Individuals, mer chants, hotels and others outside of banking are shouldering more than 99 per cent of the total amount of for gery losses. The bulk of forgery loss on checks is sustained by those who are willing to risk accepting them without reliable pro^f of Identity or title of the presenter. “Years ago the Protective Depart ment of the American Bankers Asso ciation adopted the slogan, ‘Strangers are not always crooks, but crooks are usually strangers.’ If those outside of banking could be prevailed upon to observe this rule and think about it when considering accepting a check for their merchandise or services, for which they are also asked to give a substantial sum in cash in change, one of the biggest aids to the forgery busi ness would be denied the crooks.” SCRUB BULL IS HALED TO COURT Placed Of! Trial for Hindering! Development and Prosperity of Dairy Industry. Indicted for robbery, larceny, and a! few other such charges, Scrub Bull| went on trial for his life at Laurel, i Mississippi, recently. It seems that j for some time people had suspicions j that Mr. Bull was hindering the right I and lawful development of the dairy j industry, thereby “maliciously and wilfully lowering production and de-1 creasing profits in the dairy business,” j says the Bulletin of the American ] Bankers Association Agricultural.

He be gan to study steel and sought a posi tion in the plant. He carried a Bur- veyor’s chain and drove stakes. At night he studied mathematics and en^ gineering. He did not despair. He could not be diverted. He kept the pressure on for seven years. And that boy, Charles Schwab, mastered the iron industry and became one of the country’s great industrial leaders.* There was a lad who sold papers lh a train. When he grew up, several million men and a score of billions of dollars of capital were given profitable employment through his inventions. Even in middle life, Thomas Edison continued to work twenty hours a day. If necessary to achieve his purpose. Leadership is not play. Leadership offers countless positions of varying opportunity, of which the highest pin nacles will mean almost unbearable responsibility in the new era. There will be men with the fire and iron to qualify even for these places. Such men must have had the very finest preparation and the most grueling tests. Their reward will be the attain ment of these highest pinnacles of achievement, and the rendering of an Immeasurable service to their times.

MAIL BOX THEFTS AID «FORGERS American Banker.s Association in Nationwide Warning Exposes Methods and Gives Rules to Combat Them. NEW YORK.—^Active operations In many cities of mail box thieves, who open bank communications to custom ers, containing details of their ac counts and cancelled checks showing their banking signatures, and use this material in perpetrating check for geries, have led the American Bankers Association to issue a nation-wide warning to its members with instruc tions for combating this form of crime. The warning as sent out by James E. Baum in charge of the association’s Protective Department says: “Heavy losses are being svstahied through cancelled vouchers and state ments stolen from the mail boxes of and he has not been seen since.” The arraignment came during the Milk Products Show sponsored by the banks of Laurel. People attending the show had the opportunity of also attending the bull’s “trial” and went away firmly convinced of the serious ness of lax and out-of-date methods In the pursuit of dairying. The pur poses of both the Milk Products Show and the trial wero threefold, namely; to develop public sentiment for more and better Jerseya; to foster a more cooperative spirit for dairying and livestock growing, and to promote tick eradication. The banks of Laurel entered into cooperative arrangement in their ef forts for fostering agricultural devel opment and successful farming in the community, offering $2,165 as premi ums to the outstanding farm workers throughout the territory during 1929. An instructive booklet has been is sued, showing the agricultural activity of the banks, together with announce ments of contests for farmers, exhibits in the bank lobbies and prizes ofrered.
