Where are they?
Can you tell right at this moment where to find your
bonds, stock certificates, insurance policies and other valu
able papers, often needed in a hurry? Perhaps they are
in your desk drawer—or they may be in your office safe
—or possibly lying carelessly around the house.
If your valuable papers are in any of these places there
is a risk of loss as well as uncertainty of quickly finding
them when needed. But if they are in one of our safety
deposit boxes you are aways certain of their location.
They are accessible to you instantly, and to you alone and
they are safe from fire, theft and carelessness.

BIRTH AND DEATH
CALLED ILLUSIONS
EDINBURGH, Scotland, Dec. 5.—
Birth, life and death are all illus
ions, according to the teachings of
a peculiar Scottish religious sect
known as the “Society for Spread
ing the Knowledge of True Prayer.”
Illness does not exist and never
did exist, the society also main
tains, thus outdoing the famous
Nancy chemist, Dr. Coue, of “Every
Day” fame.
“This material world is a dream,”
maintains the society’s leader, Mrs.
Agnes Morrison, known as “The
Practitioner.” “It is purely hyp
notic effect on the material senses.
The only reason we have disease,
sorrow, want, discord, misfortune,
is because we have thought of
them.
“Evil will only work as long as
people support it by believing in it.
Cease believing in evil, cease think
ing of it and that is the end of it.
“Human birth is an illusion;
death is an illusion. All this will
stop in a short time, and we will
wake up, or apparently wake up,
to perfect beings in a perfect world,
governed by a perfect spirit, which
is love.”
Most of the adherents of the so
society, The Practitioner admitted,
are of the female sex.

they are now coming out of the de
pression, President Charles S. Bar
rett declared in his annual address
here recently before the National
Farmers’ union.
“A $40,000,000,000 loss was suf
fered by agriculture since 1920-21
and in a single year 1,200,000 farm
ing people were driven from their
homes and forced to take refuge in
the city, he declared. Those facts
constitute the real reason for the
exodus from the farms and explain
he said, why many state and county
officials have found it so difficult
to collect taxes during the last four
years and why there have been so
many foreclosures.
“It is clear that in some manner
ton of inflation tendencies. That
been to blame,” Mr. Barrett assert
ed. “It dismantled its war produc
tion machniery without making pro
vision for readjustments, but it en
couraged farmers to continue their
maximum efforts of production even
into the crop of 1920.
“Then came the fear at Washing
ton of inflation tendenceis. That
was followed by a drastic depression
policy inaugurated by the federal re
serve board. Then the crash came.
On top of this came the raising of
freight rates, for which the federal
government was responsible and
which put farmers of the Middle
West at a great disadvantage by
forcing them to pay peak prices to
transport products whose value had
shrunken alarmingly.”
Matters which the union will un
dertake at Washington include:
“Passage of the truth-in-fabrics
bill.
“Legislation to protect farmer’s
interests by providing for truthful
and adequate branding, labeling and
advertising of seeds, feeds and fer
tilizers when shipped in interstate
commerce.
“Legislation to provide more ade
quate market reports of the depart
ment of agriculture, both at home
and abroad, and to give certain for
eign representatives of the depart
ment of agriculture the rank of ag
ricultural attache.
“Prevention through legislation, if
possible, of discrimination by manu-'f
facturers, financial and commercial
interests against farmers who wish
to buy collectively in wholesale
quantities.
“Revision of the Esch-Cummins
act in order to obtain lower freight
rates on agricultural products.”
