SOUTH INCREASES SAVINGS. Greater Increase in Four Years Than Thrifty New England. 3 The South has increased its per capita savings 45 per cent, in four years according to figures compiled by Milton W. Harrison of the savings bank section of the Bankers Association. Mr. Harrison has shown the per capita savings in banks and trust companies of the United States for every State in the Union and for each % section. He shows also the amount of war savings owned per capita by each State. One interesting fact revealed by Mr. Harrison's figures is that the Southern States, which have often been derided for the improvidence of their people have increased their savings in four years more than four times that of New York, New Jersey, *"? 1^ onH Oolawaro pnH more v 1 v aula auu x^v*v* ? *>/ _ than twice as much as the New England States, which have by far the largest percentage of savers to the # population. But the Southern States are shown to own the smallest number of war saving stamps per capita ?$6.14?while the Eastern States own $7.50, the New England States $8.34 and Western and Pacific States over $10 per capita. A comparison of the per capita savings for ea<?h section shows that the Southern States are again at the bottom of the list, with only $26.73 as their per capita savings against $295.93 per capita for New England, $174.14 for the Eastern States, $100 for the middle, $76.78 for the Western and $170.05 for the Pacific States. The Kansas Wheat Crop. Spring, says a Topeka, Kansas, dispatch, opens in Kansas with the earth .soaked and the 10,000,000 acres of wheat green. Never before OA in the State's history on Marcn zu has the soil been so saturated with moisture. Difference between this winter and last is striking. A year l 4 ' ago there had been very little snow and no rain to speak of and spring came with the wheat fields dry. Snow and rains have fallen incessantly all . this winter, and to cap it all the State has just been deluged tfith a rain that in more than half of its area averaged nearly five inches. Growers and grain men say there is ample moisture in the earth now to "make" a bumper yield. Many say the goal of 200,000,000 bushels set by the growers will be realized, and several elevator men who have just visited the big wheat belt of central and western Kansas believe the ? *' State's yield will go above that figure, figure. Thousands of head of cattle have been pastured on the rank wheat during the winter and will go to market as fat and sleek as if fed upon corn and other grain. ? : ,; Some Facts About War Savings Stamps. War savings stamps to the amount of approximately $1*015,000,000 were sold in the United States from December, 1917, to January 1, 1919. War savings certificates were adopted and first issued in England in the spring of 1916. In the United States war savings stamps were first issued in December, 1917. In Great Britain nearly three hundred million certificates have been sold since 1916 to January, 1919, bringing in approximately $1,100,000,000. . War savings stamps in forms similar to those of the United States and Great Britain, exist in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, India and Japan. War savings stamps in the United States are issued in annual series, and each series has a uniform date t and maturity. The interest rate is kept uniform by increasing the purchase price one per cent, each month, beginning at $4.12. British war savings stamps are dated when purchased and are due five years from that date. Certificates always sell for the same price, 15s. 6d. ($3.83.) County Supervisors Meet. Columbia, April 10.?County supervisors of South Carolina will meet in Columbia Wednesday, April 23, for the purpose of ofrming a State association which is constantly working in behalf of better roads in South Carolina. The association felt that an organization of the supervisors for the exchange of ideas on road building, plans, etc., would do good and wrote each of the supervisors of the State asking if they would attend a meeeting in Columbia. Practically every supervisor in the State replied in the affirmative and the meeting has been arranged for April 23. One of the features will be a good roads film. Addresses will be made and officers of the association elected. The meeting will last only one day. CIVILIZED WARFARE. Americans Credit Bolshevist With Humane Treatment of Prisoners. Recent developments in the Dvina river sector, according to an Associated Press dispatch from Archangel, indicate that Bolsheviki are trying to change the conduct of their uncontrolled detachments- who have been accused of killing and maltreating prisoners. An American army officer, after a long stay in the Tulgas region, declared today that the campaign there is at the present time "civilized warfare." On a Bolshevik prisoner he said was found a copy of an order directing that all prisoners should be treat ed kindly, especially the wounded, as in many instances they were the sources of valuable information. In this sector where the patrols frequently traverse the same paths of the forest a hollow stump is the battle zone, postoffice for the exchange of information regarding prisoners. Letters have been placed there from some scouts taken by the Bolsheviki saying that they were well. A former Bolshevik nurse who elected to stay with the Americans after valiantly carrying her wounded lover, a Bolshevik officer, to a hospitaJ on the upper Tulgas in the November 11 battle and who had previously prevented Bolshevik soldiers from maltreating American and British wounded, has written to the Bolshevik authorities that, Bolshevik prisoners held by the allies in Archangel are being well treated and well fed. The Archangel newspapers publish many citations of decorations awarded to the new Russian troops of the provisional government for bravery in action. The mobilization has been a success beyond all expectations, according to the Russian staff, and Russian troops are in the front lines I in nearly every sector fighting beside the Americans, British and French. The Woman's Patriotic Union organized at Archangel is arranging to send women workers to the front to core for the Russian troops. Navy Has Three Hundred Destroyers. With approximately 300 destroyers to be in commission by the end of the year, the navy department is working out plans for the peace-time handling of this force. The first suggestion mhde was to place 200 of the ships in reserve, but it is now learned that a movement is taking shape toward keeping the entire force in active commission, even if it would be necessary to put a large number of older battleships and cruisers in reserve to obtain the necessary personnel. Officers who favor keeping the de/lAmmicffinri Kol ifiTrO SirwyciS ill 1U11 vuiuuiiooivu, UV11V> V the training received aboard these vessels by both officers and men would be more valuable than the same experience aboard the large ships. Those urging the reserve project, it was indicated, believe a conservation of personnel can be accomplished in this way without laying up an increased number of big ships. In reserve a destroyer would carry a crew of about 40 men instead of 100, and if 200 destroyers are laid up it would release 12,000 men. Against such action it is argued the 40 per cent, crews are not sufficient even to keep the reserve vessels in good shape, much less to give them frequent try-outs in cruising. If any element of the service is to be reduced it is argued these new destroyers which form virtually a new arm of the fleet, due to their increasing numbers and speed and the expanding use for them being worked out by naval strategists, should not be the ones to suffer, but rather the old cruisers and battleships. The latter are now regarded as obsolete except for very special services, such as the convoy work. A considerable number of these older ships are now employed in transporting returning American troops. It is possible virtually all of these will be put in reserve when that work is finished. For Dog Lovers. "Well, here is a dog story that can't be beat: My friend Smith had a most intelligent retriever. One night Smith's house caught fire. All was instant confusion. Old Smith and wife flew for the children and bundled out with them in quick order. Alas, one of them had been left behind!
