The bank has in turn loaned a little over one- arter million dollars ($276,041.69) and has purchased $326,609.19 in govern- nent and other securities. And has cash in vault and on deposit with other anks an amount virtually equal to the amount it has in rediscount and out- t :nding certified checks, leaving then to the protection of the depositors all he amount they have deposited and an additional sum of $150,000. The kholders feel good, naturally because the book value of their. stock is ouble the par value. Any business or financial institution such as this is n a position to carry its share of the community leadership opportunties and 0 give in direct proportion to the growth of the community which it serves. DALLAS TOWNSHIP SCHOOLS ~The finances of Dallas townshp schools are in good condition, as re- ef led in the auditors’ report published in July 20th issue of the Dallas Post. The township schools, including real estate, school equipment, cash in treasury ant uncollected 1928 taxes are worth in round dollars $76,000. The township, ayers owe $62,662.33 for their school affairs of which $50,000 are for ponds and the balance short term financing. The factor that puts their school ces in a healthy condition is not the debt of $62,662.33, hut the,amorti- ation of this debt. On the basis of the 1928-29 school year audit this debt uld be reduced nearly $9,000 annually, as revealed by the income of approxi- tely $37,000 and expenses nearly $28,000. Debts in themselves mean noth- it’ is the nature of the debt and payment of it that really determines a ound financial policy and a sound financial .conidtion. This holds true of vate and business affairs as well as public institutions. The township school debt is a real estate debt. The continued financial policy will completely wipe s debt out in less than seven years. ry reason to be satisfied with the business management of their school rs in that they have a good institution, plenty of ground, good buildings #% GUIDEPOSTS To 1 ; sg = cathe Happines 5 Bernarr Mecfadden WHY YOU SHOULD LEARN TO SWIM If IT were asked to name the one sport which man could least afford toc ve up, I should unhesitatingly say: “Swimming.” Swimming is the one 1 of exercise in which every muscle of the body is brought into play, d also of the major internal organs. As a beautifier of the human form, it has mo (equal, for it takes off flesh in the wrong place and puts it back again in the right place. It gives symmerty and grace to the figure and carriage. : { Aside from its highly beneficial results, I consider swimming indispen- ble to the prolongfition and safety of huma life. If I had my way it would taught in all schools right from the beginning—along with the three R’s. The time to learn to swim is before some older person has a chance tell you that you 'may sink. >a If you have any choice in the matter, learn to swim in fresh water ther than salt. Also it is better to learn to swim in warm water, because in warm water the muscles relax—and relaxation is one of the chief essentials to good swimming and endurance. Don’t ldarn the breast stroke first. It is an awkward position for the vy and forces the beginner to screw up his face, squint and “ship” an unnecessary quantity of water. The first stroke to learn—the easiest and he simplest— is the “crawl,” And of course it is beautiful to look upon. The side stroke, in which the arms are never raised above the water is also graceful and goed for one who tires quickly. Back swimming and floating e also "mportant because they afford an opportunity for rest. Once you have gained confidence and do not take fright at every drop water that gets in your mouth, the -next importat thing to remember s that the really goed swimmer does not .hammer and pound the water. [is arms cut the water with surprisingly rapidity and few splashes. Really entific swimming involves swimming with the head under water—in- h ing through the mouth on the level of the water ad exhaling through he nose, below. Man is a land animal and sometimes he experiences dis- comfort when trying to adjust himself to a different element. If the sub- ~ mersion bothers your ears, use small rubber plugh, which can be bought “at ell athletic and drug stores. ~~ Swinming holds out one of the few encouraging inducements to fat pecple; they ler arn more easily than. people because their flesh is more buovant, and while they are learning they are reducing. So if you have ot already learned to swim—do so now this summer. You will be well epaid in increased vigor, buld and general health—and I mght add in cial attainment, for the ‘man or woman who doesn’t swim nowadays isn't— he just isn’t “in the swim.” :- International Sunday School Lesson BELSHAZZAR’S FEAST 2 Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D. ~ Serious’ elements of weakness were operating among the Chaldeans, and es from the north were campaigning against the capital. At this very time they were encamped about the city. But Belshazzar was intent on his elf gyatification. In this he was in accord with the courtiers all of whom been alert to drive back the invading army. Ts an eexpression of their indifference a royal banquet was arranged, and it was participated in by 1,000 lars, with their wives and concubines. When le brain of the king ceased to function normally as its action was dis- torted by wulcohol, always a poison, he tried to think of some excess in ‘ribaldry that would surpass the last occasion. Then he ordered that the “and silver vessels be brought, which had been taken as booty when the Temple of Jerusalem had been destroyed about 49 years before. These were filled with wine and the already Intoxicated crowd was invited to drink there from as they followed the king’s example. It would be hard to think up a grosser act of flagrant impiety. Rivelry broke loose in wilder manner than ever. En fa =e ~ Sobering came suddenly, however, as in consternation they saw what appeared like just a man’s hand writing on the wall. When money could interpret the meaning, the wise men and maghcians were called in. They, too, were helpless, though the king promised great wealth for ‘the mean- of those three words. In this plight the queen, possibly the widow buchadnezzar, reminds that Danial had been able to give the mean- e of dreams, and once when the king could not ever recall the dream self. Daniel is summoned. It is interesting to note that he was not participating licentiously wild banquet. Not for the sake of reward but as the spokes- of God he wlll announce the interpretation, though it will not be pleasing! great audience assembled. It is of value to know various languages of decidedly greater importance to understand the language of God er tongue the utterance may be given. Our Great Teacher is always eking to speak to his children through the very routine of life as well as by ecial approaches. = Three words stood out on the plaster. They referred to time, weights measures. The interpretations indicated utter failure of Belshazzar’s rule.

Office Dog I dare not say this of Dallas school, Or some one will think I'm a 'mule, Or maybe they’ll say I'm a fool. But you old geezers will remember when, (And it's just the same now as then), The cranky teacher said children’s heads are hollow And we must cram it in; cram it in. Then there's more to follow. History, botany, algebra, Latin, Etymology, Greek and trigonometry, But “slam it in; jam it in, Cause children’s heads are hollow. Jane said, “Mother, all this learnin’ is bunk” Mother said, “Jane, don’t you dare to flunk. So she told the teacher to ram it in, Cram it in, scold it in, whip it in. All that they can swallow, Everyone knows children’s heads are hollow. Frank says, “Readin’ and writin’ and 'rithmetic, enough,” And Ill tell the world tough When a boy wants to play _ Some old teacher will say: “Now get your geography, your writ- ing, Or you'll know what will follow.” And they rub it in; club it in— Just because children’s heads are hol- low. it’s mighty Rap it in, tap it in, ‘What are teachers paid for? Bang it in; slam it in— What are children made for? Pretty soon there will by physics, Rhetoric, geology, geometry, ‘Greek and trigonometry; And oh, dear or, dear, oh! All because their heads are hollow. Scold it in; 'mold it in— All that they can swallow. Fold it in; mould it in— Still there’s more to follow. Faces pinched, and sad and pale, Tell the same undying tale; Tell of moments robbed from sleep, Meals untasted, studies deep. Those who have passed the furnace thru With aching brow will tell you How the teacher crammed it in, Rammed it in, jam'med it in, Rubbed it in, clubbed it in, Pressed it in, caressed it in, Rapped it in, slapped it in, When their heads were hollow. —G.

Gel Music Without Notes In playing music by ear the player is guided by sound alone. He keeps the melody of tune .in mind and his fingers are guided up or down the scale by a sort of instinctive knowl- edge which enables him to obtain the tones desired. In such playing mo at- tention is paid to written music and often no thought is given to names of notes struck.—Exchange.
