THE “SELF-INTEREST LEAGUE® OF AMERICA The most natural, the most human, if not the most altruis- tic, bond is that of self-interest. There are thousands of asso- clations, leagues and socleties all the country that bear wit- to the uniting force of a common, personal cause. The biggest society in the country is one that has no presi- dent, no by-laws, nor, In fact, any specified organization. Yet practically every man and wom- an belongs to it. It is the Society of Newspaper Readers. Their only bond is that of self-interest. All men and women know that in order to be able to hold their own with their neighbors they must learn what the newspapers have to tell them, not only in re- gard to general events of- the day, but also in regard to the specific uctivities of the locality in which they lve.

They have handled that entire receivership without pay, have vald depositors in full the amount as it came to them and the entire ex- pense of all clerical work has only been 600 and 700. They have also saved the depositors at least $7,500 in receivership fees.
