1872. His early education was se-
red, in the public schools of Ply-
muth and.he later entered the Blackj
ier academy and St. J'ohansburg"

ret in -1891. He graduated from
re in 1895.
t was said of him that at Coin-
ncenent time when the class cast
ballot for the "man most likely to
cceed in life,".Coolidge received one
.' and Dwight W. Morrow received
rest. Morrow has since becomeE
paftner of J. P. Morgan, but the
Ong of interest about it is that the
P vote that Coolidge received was
ight_ W. Morrow's vote. In his
ior year he received the prize of a
gold medal offered for the best

ror government. K.

MC ADOO
"McAdoo '11 do," has been suggest-
ed as the campaign slogan for William
Gibbs McAdoo in the coming presi-'
dential race. McAdoo has a iublic
record which, so his friends say, will
bacl: up the slogan.
The former secretary of the treas-
ury was born near Marietta, Georgia,
Oct. 31, 1863, just-as the Civil War wa
drawing to a close.
Young McAdoo became a student in
the university' of Tennessee, but left
in his junior year to become deputy
clerk in the United States Circuit
Court so that he could study law. He1
was admitted to the bar when he was
21, and; soon became counsel for a
railway company.
The transportation business fasci-
nated him and soon he was engaged
in consolidating the street car lines of
Knoxville. 'He became president of
the consolidated organization.
In 1913 Mc'Adoo was appointed See-
iretary of the Treasury by Mr. Wilson,
much to the rage of. Wall Street. His
activities since then are common his-
tory.
The Federal Reserve law was pass-
ed under him, and a money panic was
,diverted with the opening of the Great
1War. Thie Federal: War Risk bureau
was formed to'provide marine insur-
ance, the ,Farm Loan bill was passed
and the Farm Loan Banks established.
Mr. McAdoo next made a trip to South
America in the interests of an eco-I
nomic alliance. On his return he
created the bill providing for our
present Shipping Board and govern-
ment-owned merchant fleet. Underj
his personal-direction the liberty loanf
drives were achieved. "He brought
the country to think in billions."
His greatest task began' in. 1917, as,
director general of the American rail-
roads. Late in 1918 he resigned his
position as secretary of the, treasury !
to try for the Democratic convention
in 1920. At the convention, in San
Francisco, he led the field for many
ballots.
Ti the prohibition question he says,
enfrrce the law. To the railroad
situation he answers,' lower the rates
and provide for a more efficient gov-
ernment supervision, which will pro-
tect the people's interests. For the'
farmer Mr. McAdoo suggests financial
J aid and declares he would provide
more markets by building up again
our once flourishing trade with Eur-
ope. This, with respect to Europe,
would mean "abandoning the policy of
,isolation; aiding' diplomatically and
economically in the adjustment of cur-
rent diffictulties overseas, and securing
a general reduction in armaments."
Mr. McAdoo's legal connection with
the Doheny oil interests has left its
impression iii the popular mind al-
though authorities every where agree
that no stain is attached to his name.
UNDERWOOD
Of the democrats who have entered
the presidential race, Senator Oscar
W. Underwood, of Albama, is 0n of
the strongest contenders. Up to the
present time, he has been centUrin;
his fight on the Southern states, which
are almost solidly democratic. And
it is in tLese states that his chief
strength lies.

you assume to be reliable because they are dealing with your bank. 'ou can
do this by. refraining from writing great numbers of small checks. It costs
about 8 centsfor every entry made to your account, whether debit or credit.
If you are writing a number of small checks when you might as easily write
one to cover a number of small purchases you are burdening your bank with a
needless expense. Of course it is often necessary to write a check for a small
amount, and when it is, you are justified in doing so.
You owe itto your bank to try to maintain a sufficiently large balance
to allow your bank to carry your account without a loss. One dollar, left
undisturbed in a savings account for' 8 years will pay for the cost of keeping it.
A checking account with,'an average balance of $100.00 with 100 entries dur-
ing the 'course of the year costs .your bank about $2.65 to carry, depending, of
course, upon the overhead of the particular bank. As the number of checks
drawn decreases the cost of handling the account decreases.
Of course you owe it to your bank as well as to yourself to refrain from
overdrawing your account and besides it is' contrary to law. Such a pro-
cedure causes needless inconvenience and expense to the bank and to every
individual through whose hands the dishonored check passes.
