What is a
BANK?
A modern bank is more than a deposi
tory for money; more than a place upon
which to issue checks.
A modern bank is an institution of help
fulness to its depositors and clients. It
is interested in seeing that they are
prosperous and successful in the’r fi
nancial ventures.
Depositors who let us help them with
advice born of long experience, can tes
tify to the value of our service.

A-HOUSE HUNTING
MANILA, Feb. 21.—Th° psiier lop.
islature is house hunting. An impos
ing edifice has been started for it us<
but the contractor ran out of fundi
and the legislative home, pending the
rale of building bonds to finance fui
tiler construction, re nains an unin
habitable pile of gray concrete and
rusty iron.
In the meantime the legislature has
been renting a spacious building
which belongs co tip City of Manila.
This building rejoices in the ti*'& of
“The Ayuniaroiento.” and the City of
Manila heretofore har, collected an an
nual rent of one million pesos from
the insular government. But before
last year vlie legislature voted to give
the city only $25,000 as rent tor ’he
building.
Now the city autho'irhs say the
! city treasury is hard up also. 1 tie
! city wants Ihe million pesos rent, in
! clud ing back rent, or it wants pos
session of the building. The city pro
1 poses to turn the Aquiuamiento into
a school building and cut down the
! city’s annual rents for school build
ings scattered about the city.
The legislature hasn t the million
| pesos( and it has no place to g<> i;
j ejected. And there tne mac*< r tests..

lasted in Athens this year to the mid !
