Mr. Gibson took the matter up with Mr. Homer Henry, the Emergency Relief Administrator of Haywood county, and was assured that all pos sible assistance would be given him in this undertaking. He then con sulted the county school board and found them eager to cooperate in the program. Mr. Jack Messer, the su perintedent of schools, secured ap proval of a teacher for this school and also authority from the board of education to furnish the necessary windows, hardware and roofing for a school building. Mr. Gibson then took the matter up with Col. V. H. Stough- ton, superintendent of the Boie Hardwood Lumber Company, who se cured from Mr. J.

Mr. Gibson has laid further plans for the betterment of conditions in the Big Bend which he hopes to arry out as soon as possible. In addition to the school and Sun day school both of which are taught by Miss Odum, he hopes to establish a "Home Making School." in which proper cooking, sanitary house keep ing and hygiene may 'be taught to adults as well us children, also a lunch room for undernourished chil dren at the school. For next year he has planned a .guidon and canning program in con nection with the school 'to supply all vegetables needed for the school lunch room. The plans for an addition to tin building to care for the "Home Mak ing School- .have been sent to Raleigh ,ior approval and efforts are being made to secure equipment for it through local civic organizations. An effort is also being made to furnish the teacher's quarters so that she may be able, to be located at her work this winter instead of being compelled to walk over a mile and cross the river as well. Mr. Gibson also has the assurance of Mr. Smith, the county farm agent, that he will cooperate in showing the people of this section better methods of farming so that they may become self-supporting.

S. HECHT DjuKERS universally recognize that the prime economic need ot tho nation Is the stimulation of sound in dustrial and com mercial activities and recent trav els over a wide stretch of the country h a v o shown mo that they everywhere are making all ef fort possible to lend constructive financial support within tho scope of their proper banking func tions to promot ing the expansion of business activity. Frequently in times past when our country Buffered from an economic de pression and eonsequent unemploy ment on a large scale, the rise ot some broad new Industrial development, such for instance as a new industry like the automobile Industry, has been a powerful factor in stimulating a re turn or an accelerated growth or na tional prosperity. Such a movement means the creation ot new wealth, the employment of largo groups of people on useful lines and as a consequence the production and distribution of sound, effective purchasing power, which Is a form of wholesome eco nomic Btimulant that has none of tho evils of monetary inflation. A New Force (or Business ImDrovement Perhaps we have at hand, if not tho rising of a wholly new industry, a measurable equivalent in the potenti alities of a widespread rebuilding and modernizing movement such as homo renovising, plant remodeling, the put ting of our railroads on a high speed air conditioned basis and other valua ble developments in the construction field. The effects of such activities on employment and many lines of busi ness would be most beneficial and I can repeat without reservation that we bankers are willing and eager to play our full economic part In any such con structive developments. It has been made to appear that money has not gone to work because of the timidity of bankers rather than what is a true explanation, because business men have not had enough con fidence in the business outlook to bor row tho dollar from tho hanker and put it to work. The basic requisite to the expansion commercial bank loans is sound, normal business conditions on which to conduct ' te-und, normal banking op erations. The best business a bank can wish for is the opportunity to loan money to successful business men and manufacturers imbued with confidence to enter upon aggressive business en- erprises and endowed with tho ability to bring them to successful conclu sions. Such loans moan business ac tivity for the community, growing pay rolls and prosperity, and the banker wants to make them because to bo identified with such activities not only means profits to him hut, additionally, brings him the reward of good will in his community. There is no bettor proof of the great desire of banks to take care of the short term requirements of tho busi ness world than to point out the abnor mally low rates at which this demand is being supplied at the present time.

C Xo form of investments except Government bonds suffered as little loss as deposits: in closed banks during, the years 19" 1-32-33, Jesse 11. Jones, Chairman of tho Reconstruction Finance Corporation, declared in fccenl address. --. "A point generally overlooked In connection with bank failures in this period, is that upon the whole, depos itors in closed banks will get a some what larger percentage than has been true in bank failures over a period of say twenty-five years," Mr. Jones said. "Heretofore they have gotten about 58,- but in these wholesale bank clos ings, my estimate is that they will, upon the average, get about 65 of their deposits. "Another point worthy of mention li that a depositor in a closed bank loses only a part of his deposit, while the bank stockholder losos all, plus a stock assessment. "Xo form of investment, except Gov ernment bonds, has suffered as little loss as deposits in closed banks, and while I appreciate that there Is little consolation in this fact, those who had their savings invested In stocks, bonds, mortgages, real estate, indus trial investments, or in businesses of any kind, have had losses very much greater, and In a much larger percent age, than have depositors In closed banks.

The other type requires pollination and includes chiefly those called Cali myrna, Stanford nnd San Pedro. Figs are, insect-pollinated plants, the pollen-bearing flowers and the edible fruit being borne on different trees. The male tree is known as the capri fig. The stamlnnte flowers which bear the pollen are just Inside the eye, and the gall flowers, which are modified female flowers, occupy the rest of the cavity of the fruit. Long -Used Laxative To be bought and used as needed for many, many years, speaks well for the reliability of Thedford's Black-Draught, purely vegetable family laxative. Mr. C. E. Ratllff writes from Hlnton, W. Va.: "My wife and I have used Thedford's Black-Draught thirty-five years for constipation, tired feeling and headache. I use it when I feel my system needs cleansing. After all these years, I haven't found any thing better than Black-Draught." Sold In 35-cent paekagei.

In a district where the disease had been prevalent. Hith erto the disease had been confused with the European fever, which Is usually spread by body lice In army camps. Jails and crowded slums. The public health service doctors found that the American form, which often broke out In sanitary homes, was spread by rat fleas, that the fleas transmitted the virus from rat to rat and that fleas who fed on the infect ed rats gave it to humans. Since then Department of Agriculture scientists nave round it may also be transmit ted by a common mite which Infests rats. The fight against these mammal-insect carried diseases, a comparatively new class of fevers which has come into prominence in the past few years, now Is one of their major problems. They Include the dreaded spotted fever. En demic typhus is a milder malady than the European typhus, but still it has a mortality rate of 25 to 35 per cent when It breaks out in areas of under nourishment and crowded conditions. It is estimated that the Xorway rat alone which may have been brought to Xorth America on the open ships of the Norsemen causes an annual damage in the United States of ap proximately $250,000,000, or close to $2 per person.
