Educating Bank Depositors.

The Cresco Union Savings Bank has
taking a novel method to induce the
children of that community to start
savings accounts. To every child un-
der fifteen who would deposit 50 in the
bank it offered to add another 81 free,
and the same offer is now made to chill
dren over that age who deposit So. The
only conditions are that the money is
to remain deposited in the bank for
one year drawing per cent interest
The newly organized Citizens Bank of
the same place also holds out similar
inducements to young people to start
savings accounts. The Union Bank
has one family of seven children and
another of eight, llunder fifteen years,
each child of whom has opened an ac-
count. These savings accounts are
great things for the children, as well
as older ones, and we believe it woul d
pay one or both the home banks to
open such department. LIE Roy In
