good deal of kicking at our connuer

which involve '"big money." But this

banks, for instance, probably
ci mt- fn lor about as much uniform
ed abuse as any business.
The banks ? which are simply
the repositories of money belonging
to millions of people, most of them
of very moderate means ? provided
the financial blood that built this
c? untry. And they are still providing
the financial blood that is further de
veioping this country tcday.
No banker wants to refuse an ap
plication for a loan/ ,He knows that
loans make the mA go so far as
banking is concerned, and that the
more sound loans he can make, the
faster his community and his bank
will grow. Bankers refuse some

LAND OF ENVIABLE
DISTINCTION
"Whenever the cost of an article it
lowered, mere people can buy the
article. And those who could afford
It ,tanyway have money left to buy
other things'.'
That que tat Ion Is taken from an
an noun foment issued by the General
UllprtHr Cniiinnnv Wo ?oo its frhth
illustrated thousands of times In th(
dally life of ourselves and other?.
The General Electric statement
points to electric refrigerators as a
case in po'.xrt. In 1927, the average
model cost about $250. Some 375.000
reople dug down into their pockets
and bought machines. Ten year? la'
ter, increased manufacturing and
distributing efficiency, plus improve'
merits and simplifications in design,
brought the price of the average refrigeffctor
down more tran 50 per
cent?to $170. And six times as mt
ny people bought machines as in
1927. Further, those who could and
-would have paid the rtgher price
were able to spend the difference for
other conveniences and commodltlet
?and that meant a higher standard
of living for tremselvea and their
families, and It meant the creation
of mOre Jobs and opportunities, and
a wider and awlfter circulation al

"Big stuff" such as refrigerators
aren't the only articles whose salt

j Some six weeks after the finite
auction at which Ma sou and
' Goiuie uoquired their two-dolic '
horae. Mason stood at the track
' in the chill light of early dawn,
' rtopwatch in hand, while his partner
easily and gracefully jockeyed
a horse around the turf. The horse
was Red Gold, but no one who
had seen him at that auction
would have believed it. By washing
dishes in -all-night eating joints,
the two friends had managed to
keep themselves alive and their
! horse sbelteied and fed; and by
day they drew upon all their know;
ledge of horseflesh to make Red
_| Gold forget his fear of the human
race and prepare him to fulfill his
heritage as the son of a great
line of racehoraas. Mason had patiently
trained, and cajoled him.
13 while Goldle made friends with the
u- animal, showing him the love and
10 kindness he had always missed,
" gradually, painstakingly, winning
the horse's complete confidence
14 and even affection. Toward any
e* other human being Red Gold was
atlll suspicions and hostile; but
these two he knew to be his
a. friends.

and whispered, and the h o r a e '

la a streak of flame.
It was then that Mason auddend
ly became aware of a presence at
tt his elbow. It was Nick Grimes,
