Increase In Bank Deposits Since War Washington, D. C., Oct. 14.?There are 27,000,000 savings bank cieposi- ( tors in the United States. These figures became public at the recent convention of the American Banker's Association at St. Louis, and in com- ] piling these figures due allowance was made for duplications. Investiga- 1 tion by the bankers has proved that these savings bank depositors are, with few exceptions, people of small ^ means but they are the people who absorbed in large measure the war isrues of government securities, ; Thrift and War Savings Stamps, Savings Certificates and Liberty Bonds. i Not onlv did they buy and hold government securities but those investments led to additional savings, consolidated the habit of thrift and :nci eased bank deposits throughout the entire nation. These 27,000,000 depositors now own $10,573,971,000 of savings. This is the money which has built up *Jie railroads, municipalities, homes a. i industries of the nation. These sav ngs represent over twenty-six per cent of the total resources. These savers financed the war successfully, anci on their continuation of the pro- ' duction of new capital through savings rests the solution for financing reconstruction and for the increase of production necessary to check the high cost of living. 'k he government savings securities i an Liberty Bonds offer ideal means for the production of this new capital. They are adapted for investment of all sums no matter how great or small. They are* the safest security possible. They are prifitable and readily convertable into cash 1 should necessity arise. Their pur- ] cluse not only aid in financing the ; go^rnment but releases correspond- i ing capital from the banks and fi- ( nar.ciai institutions lor expansion ui ; industry and development of produc- ; tion. 1 The figures compiled by the Bank- ] ers Association show that in the five year period ending January 1 of this < year, saving deposits in state banks 1 increased 59.47 per cent; in mutual ( savings banks, 12.96 per cent; in stock savings banks 33.04 per cent; , in trust companies 24.32 per cent; and in national banks 118.36 per cent. It also was announced at St Louis that there were 35,000,000 policy ' holders in life insurance companies in the United States. o Killing Of Meadowlarks Permitted ' Tie Record has received from the United State Department of Agri- ^ culture the following communication: ^ 'The secretary of agriculture has ? issued an order permitting the killing of meadowlarks in South Carolina by persons owning or leasing farm land on which sprouting corn and oats are being grown, and also by members of such person's immediate family, and by his bonnefide employees .Un-: der the order meadowlarks may be killed by shooting, from half an hour before sunrise to sunset from November 1, 1919, to April 30, 1920, inclusive, in fields of sprouting corn and sprouting oats when the birds are committing, or about to commit, serious injury to these sprouting gniins. The order contains a restriction prohibiting the killing of the birds from artificial or natural blinds. Furthermore, it does not permit any of the birds killed to be wontonly wasted or destroyed, sold or offered c for sale, or shipped, transported, or j. carried in any manner, except that ? they may be carried by the person a killing them to the residence on the r lands of the owner or lessees, there j to be used for food purposes by the t persons authorized to kill them. Meadowlarks killed within the period above mentioned may be possessed ' not longer than May 10, 1920. Following many complaints of damage being done to sprouting corn and oats by meadowlarks, the bureau v of Biological Survey of the depart- e ment of agriculture sent an expert x to South Carolina to investigate the 1 extent of the damage, and as a re- ' suit of his report which showed that J the complaints received were well ^ founded, the secretary of agriculture 1 issued the order. Meadowlarks are r protected throughout the year under r the Migratory Bird Treaty, Act, and Regulations, except that when any species of migratory bird becomes, under extraordinary conditions, se riously injurious to agriculture or other interests, the secretary of agri- a culture may, after appropriate in- t vestigation, issue an order permit- fc ting the birds to be killed during t certain periods. t o p Card Of Thanks L We take this method of expressing c ocr deep and grateful thanks to the r people of the Bethel community for <j the steadfast care, love and sympathy ] shown us during the long illness, and t upon the death of our beloved wife j and mother.
