The easiest and surest way to be prepared for the winter of life is to put money in the bank. Money in the bank goes along way towards insuring a happy Christmas and it always enables Santa Claus to visit your home. You can see examples every year at this time of unhappy families who have no bank account. Start your bank account at once and you will al- ways be prepared for this event in the future.

INCREASE IN INPORT TRADE Past Year a Record Breaker Under New Tariff Law. LARGE GAIN IN CUSTOMS During the Year Ending July 31 Last Imports Aggregating $1,562,600,0C0 Came Into the United States, $794, 600,000 Being Listed as Dutiable and $768,000,000 Entering Free of Duty. Washington, Sept. 5.—Uncle Sam’s import trade, under the Payne-Aldrich tariff law, during the past year was a record breaker, according to the gov- ernment's statistical experts. Under this law, during the twelve months ending July 31 last, imports aggregat- ing $1,562,600,000 came into the Unit- ed States. Of this vast total $794,600,- 000 was listed as dutiable, while $768,- 000,000 entered free of duty. Although it was the first year of the Payne- Aldrich law it eclipsed all former rec- crds under the Dingley, Wilson and McKinley laws. Until the Payne-Aldrich law be- came effective, Aug. 1, 1909, the ban- ner year of the previous eighteen years had been 1907, when under the Dingley act an aggregate of $1,456,- 500,000 of imports was recorded. Customs receipts during the past year amounted to $327,800,000, which was more than $17,000,000 in excess of the previous year under the Ding- ley act. The customs receipts during each of the eighteen years preceding 1910 showed a much less encouraging record, except in 1904 and 1907, when the customs receipts exceeded dast year's total. During the past year March showed larger customs receipts than any other month during that pe- riod, with a total of $36,700,000. BANDITS’ ERROR SAVES TRAIN Robbers in Alabama Hold Up Light Engine by Mistake. Mobile, Ala., Sept. 5—Five dis- guised train robbers who had planned the holdup and robbery of the New York and New Orleans limited train on the Louisville and Nashville rail- road made their escape in a boat on Bayou Sara, twelve miles north of here, after they had held up by mis- take a light engine which was making its way northward. ‘ The engine had just come to a stop preparatory to crossing the bridge which spans the bayou. But for the mistake in taking the light engine for the limited, which is a solid vestibuled train and carrying mail and express matter, the thieves would probably have made a rich haul. That the holdup was well planned was evidenced by the fact that the robbers first captured the two bridge- men, chained them securely, took pos- session of their magazine rifies and then awaited the coming of the lim- ited. Curious Old. English Law. It is interesting to recall in connec- tion with railway accidents that only a few years~back any instrument which by accident was the immediate cause of loss of human life became in English law “deodand”—that is, be- came forfeit to the crown, to be de- voted to pious purposes. This law ap- plies to locomotives, but in course of time coroners' juries, instead of claim- ing the forfeit, inflicted a fine. In the year 1838 a locomotive on the Liver- pool ‘and Manchester line which by exploding caused the deatb of its en- gineer and fireman was fined £20. while the following year another en- gine on the same line was fined £1,400.
