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.

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.

'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. ": .: ... j _ i "" .,. ,.. , ,.., tr I. .
