Statements That Bring the Money Quick A machine-made statement is a good collector; it brings the money in quick because it goes out quick—on the first, or the afternoon of the 31st. Then, it isn't held up to have the total verified. "Made on a Burroughs" is a passport that gets immediate approval of the Custodian of t)ie check book, because he knows that statement is accurate. But quicker collections is only one advantage. In making out statements on a Burroughs Statement Machine, you verify all ledger balances and can take a tnal balance at the same time. It takes the worry out of statement time, the mistakes out o! the ledger, and trouble out of the trial balance. And all this work can be done in half the time it takes to get out statements alone in the old way. When your statements are on the way, the machine is ready to figure for you for the balance of the month, as it is a modern - all around figuring machine p/us a statement machine. To find out how the Burroughs will help you handle your statements will cost you at the most the price of a two cent stamp. Burroughs Adding Machine Company R. N.

C., March 30. —"If €-year-old Edna Neff has been sent from Pensacola, Fla., to Qhristians burg, Va., by parcel post, she will nev er reach her destination in that way," said John C. Koons, in charge of the parcel post service of the Postoffice De partment. "If Miss Neff was started on her journey with parcel post stamps at tached to her, the postmaster at Pen sacola has violated the rules and regu lations of the postal service, and the parcel post law in particular, by at tempting to send a human being through the mails. This is contrary to the law, and against instructions issued only a few months ago when an effort was made to send a boy by parcel post from one star route to another in a West Virginia town. Miss Neff's journey will be interrupted, I am sure, at the first large city she touches, and unless she has other means of trans portation than parcel post stamps, her trip will be at an end."

EXPECTED RUN ON BANK AT MYERSTOWN BIDN'T OCCUR Not an Account Withdrawn From In stitution Whose Treasurer la in Jail—Hassler Says Shortage Was Merely Made by Errors in Books Myerstown, Pa., March 30.—When the Myerstown Trust Company's bauk was opened for business at the usual hour yesterday morning everything wag in readiness for a run. Extraordinary precautions had been taken by the directors. The regular cash oil hand was augmented by the receipt of |33,000 in cash from the First Na tional Bank, of Lebanon. Not a penny of the money was required as not one account wan withdrawn as the result of the announcement that Amos Hass ler, treasurer of the institution, was a confessed defaulter to the amount < and was in the Lebanon jail. It was not until yesterday morning on the arrival of the Philadelphia news papers that the townspeople learned of llassler's defalcation and it caused a sensation. Depositors and shareholders alike gave every evidence of support by as suring the bank management there | would be no necessity to call on a Philadelphia bank for an additional ?30,000, which had been arranged for in the case of an emergency. Hassler, yesterday, steadfastly ad hered to his original statement that he had not taken a penny of the missing $8,372.81 of the bank's funds. lie insists that shortage was first disclosed in the accounts several years ago, and that being for but compara tively small amounts he sought to avoid a disclosure by making false entries in the accounts. Hassler says these short ages continued from time to time, growing less frequent, however, during ihe last year, but he refrained from making the truth known to the direc tors. He did not charge any one with the theft, an I his failure to speak in this respect causes little credence to be giv en to his story. Careful and thorough investigation into the manner of Hass ler's living since coming here five years ago failed to disclose any extravagance |or speculation on his part. His liab ! its were exemplary and, as showing his | standing in the community, he lacked but one vote last January of being elected superintendent of a local Sun day school. In a signed statement issued yester day afternoon the bank directors gave assurance that the shortage was not in excess of $8,372.81, as shown by an inspection of the books by State Bank Examiner Charles E. Sebhsrd, of Leb anon, whose findings coincided with the figures in Hassler's private menio i randa. It was also oflieialy announced yes terday that the trust company was not the depository of any county funds. Strong efforts are to be made to have Hassler tell of the whole transaction, on the plea that his failure to tell all may direct unjust suspicion toward others, present and former employes of the institution.
