Waterloo. Dec. 11.-There was no
stringency in the money market In
1924 homes yesterday when the mails
were opened and found to contain .
check from the Commercial National
Bank. The sum Of money distributed
by the bank yesterday totals $3e.55s.37.
This went to Waterlooans who one
year ago enrolled as members In the
Christmas Savings club.
During the past few days the officers
Of the bank have been unusually busy
signing checks, and when the postal
clerks left the postoffices yesterday
morning they carried with them Christ
mas greetings and substantial checks
from the bank to it's 1.424 members Of
the Christmas Savings Club. Many Of
the members received checks call
ing for $63.75. Others received $2460
and few will get s12.75. These vari-
Gus amounts represent the individual
accumulations in the various classes.
When the announcement was made
a year ago that the savings club would
be organized, 1t was stated that there
would be three classes-each calling
for different amount of money to be
deposited each week. One class called
for the payment Of one cent the first
week. two cents the second week three
cents the third week, etc. The amount
increasing one cent each week. The
second class called for a savings OF
two cents the first week. four the sec
ond, six the third, etc. The third
class was FOR the saving Of FIVE cents
the first week and increasing the
amount five cents each week thereaf-
ter for fifty weeks.
Large Average.
Many persons began by depositirs
the largest payment first and having
the amount decrease each week instead
OF increasing. This system appealed
to a large number. Others were so en-
Unused with the idea that they enrolled
in several classes, some having as
many as six different accounts. The
grand total s36.556.37 represents more
than 81 each for every man, woman
and child In Waterloo. To the mem

The feature Of the savings club. "a
that there has been accumulated .
large sum Of money to be used in the
purchase Of Christmas presents and
distribution Of good cheer among the
people, at time when most persons are
Just beginning to think OF how to pur-
chase Christmas presents. The NOM
bers Of the club have known for an
entire year that they will have Q cer-
tain amount saved at this time and
hundreds Of them have arranged their
Christmas purchases accordingtly.
Girl Pleased.
A young lady employed in one Of
the business houses Of the city and
who enrolled as q member q year ago
stated yesterday that she had never
enjoyed anything more than she had
her membership In the savings club.
I'm fact" she said. 81 have had real
pleasure in preparing for Christmas
this year, while in previous years. I
have been like a lot Of other people,
and waited until the last moment and
then hurried to the stores. and rs a
rule made purchases that when given
to my friends made me feel as tho I
should say to them. well. here's your
present. I had an awful time getting
1t, but got It and then throw 1t at
them in sort Of defiant manner"
Another feature about the plan. was
that no one was permitted to with
draw their savings until the close Of
the period. This prevented many per-
sons from coming to tho bank and
withdrawing their savings at times
when they were temporarily in need
OF money. They managed to get along
and now md they have comfortable
amount saved for Christmas, or any
other purpose for which they may de-
sire to use the money.

mercial National bank stated yesterday
that the Waterloo club was but one Of
a large number thruout the United
States, and that It Is estimated that
over one and half million members
will be enrolled in these clubs next

Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, Dec. 1.-THE supreme
court heard arguments yesterday on
the case from Des Moines involving
the law Of the state for injunctions
against bawdy houses, the so-called
red Light" law.
Now what becomes of the original
bill which has passed the legislature,
after a bill has been enrolled and the
governor has signed it?" was asked by
"a member Of the court. as the argument
was under full head.
You can search me-" said jim
Parsons, who was pleading for rule
that the enrolled bill must be signed by
the speaker or it Is no good.
Aren't these old bills destroyed"
suggested another Judge.
We'll" said Parsons. II think maybe
that's so. I confess don't know what
is done with them"
1t was part Of an impromptu cate
chism injected at an embarrassing point
for the lawyer. But nobody seemed to
know what became OF the bills. Not
a member of the court. not a lawyer,
was able to suggest the right answer.
AS a matter of fact the original bills
back for a half century or more arc
all carefully preserved in the office OF
the secretary Of state.
The incident but showed how easy
1t is for any one department Of the
state to slip along without knowing
much about details as to some other
departments.
The questions asked by the court
rather indicated that the court is going
to be puzzled over the fate of bill il
the presiding officer of either house
should refuse TO sign a bill at a time
when the legislature could not correct
the matter. This is the case wherein
it is contended the bill is null and void
because Of the failure Of a speaker to
append his signature to the enrolled
bill.
Burdened With Liquor Suits.
The supreme court appears to be
burdened with liquor suits. 1t yester-
day advanced the case from Ottumwa
involving the legality of the Webb
Kenyon law so that 1t Will come on for
hearing Jan. 10 at the same time as t1e
Des Moines saloon case rehearing.
About three months ago Judge Will
lard in the federal court at st. Paul
decided similar case adverse to the
law. but until the state supreme court
acts the law will not be settled for
Iowa.
The court fixed the Baughn removal
case SO there will be no controversy
over who shall pay the costs. The
writ Of custer VIII issue direct from the
supreme court and this will carry the
obligation to pay s1,10o costs to the
removed man.
The court will hear no more submits
sions this year, having completed the
docket for the December term yester-
day.
