Founders Day, the anniversary
of the birth of Robert Morris, was
observed by Punta Gorda chapter
No. So, Order of the Eastern
Star, Monday night. After an
appropriate program, embracing
literary selections of an interesting
character, refreshments consisting
of sherbet and cake we're served,
and the occasion was generally en-
joyed.
A change of schedule went into
effect on this division Of the Coast
Line last Sunday. Trains from
the north now arrive at IL n. M.
and 9:1O y. M, trains from the
south at 1850 Il. m. and 4:52 p. m.
The railroad company could not
invest dollar here to advertise
this change before it became eff
fective and the writer did not
know of it beforehand, but we
mention it now for the benefit of
our readers.
You Punta Gorda folk, who are
sending out of town to get station
cry printed that, you could just as
we'll get here: If you have a just
grievance against THE HERALD,
we can understand why tits we are
not given the work; otherwise we
cannot assign reason for 1t.
But, we'll wager u copper that the
other fellow does not spend in
Punta Gorla us much of the money
YOU spend with him as we would
spend here. Now we hope you
will see the point and agree with
up that it is we'll taken.
DR.. G. S. Honeywell has a let
/ ter from his brother in Kansas
who says that it has been the hot
test summer in the state they have
ever had. He says the therInome-
ter was, ut the time he was writ
ing, at los in the shade and has
been 100 every day for more than
two months, and that it felt rs hot
as 112 or la could make it. 1t
had not rained since the 10th of
May, and crops are all a failure.
Vein Punta Gorda, can thus COM
pare the weather we have had
with what it has been in Kansas
we can sympathize with those peo-
pie out there and appreciate one
advantage of living in Florida.

$2l,36O,OOO WORTH OF
AUTOS NOW In GEORGIA
RGCkOned by Registrations
at Capitol

Atlanta, Dec. 31-Conservatively es-
timated, the value of the automobiles
in the state of Georgia, reckoned by
registrations on file in the secretary
Of states office, is $2l 100000
The law requiring the registration Of
automobiles, auto trucks and motorcy-
Giles in this state became effective in
September, 1910. At thee lose of bust
ness for 1912 the registrations totaled
1890.
Out of this total registration the fig
.ures show approximately that 900 re-
presents motorcycles, while some 400
represents electric machines, the fee
being the same in all cases, 81. This
leaves 1900 automobiles and auto
trucks.
Secretary of State Cook has consult
Jed various authorities in the automo-
bile world relative to values, and all
agree that a conservative estimate
places each registration at $1,000. De-
duct from the total of 1S,30O 500 mo-
torcyclos, this leaves 1900 machines
valued at 81 200, which gives $21,24O,-
600. Estimating the 600 motorcycles at
the very conservative figure of 5000
each, this yields a grand total of $21,-
100000 as the valuation of gasoline
and electric machines in use IN this
state.
The registrations for 1912 show s.
933, which indicates a steady growth
in the use of machines and the fur
Their fact that Georgia has had a
prosperous year. While a close anal
'yss of the figures is not possible just
now, it is a known fact that South
and Middle Georgia have been the
heaviest purchasers of machines.
Secretary Cook expects no percep-
'tible slump in registrations for 1913,
and in anticipation of a normal bust
mess has ordered and now has in read
mess for use a new series of numbers
ranging from 10000 to 1000.

Use OF BILLIONS
FREE TO BANKERS
Government Cash Placed on
Der OSit Without Interest

Washington, D. c., Dec. 31.-A re-
port which caused members of the
committee to sit up and rub their eyes
was received from the Treasury today
by the House Committee on EXpendi-
lures in the Treasury Department,
which has under consideration bill
introduced jointly by Senator Pomer-
enc and Representative Cooke, of Ohio,
providing that banks receiving on de-
post surplus Government funds shall
pay interest thereon.
The report shows that since 1886
banks in all parts of the country have
received on deposit more than $4,000
100000 Of Government money and
have had the use OF these funds for
long periods without paying the Gov
eminent a cent of interest Had inter
est, even at the low rate Of 2 per cent.
been paid on these funds, the Govern
llltlL WOuiu nave DINil tIlOIt IMAM PfA,-
100000 to the good. The aim of the
Pomerene-Goeke bill is to compel the
Secretary of the Treasury to deposit
the surplus funds of the GOvernu ent
in banks that offer the highest rate Of
interest. Banks receiving such Gov
eminent deposits will, of course, be
compelled to give security for the
funds they receive, so that the Gov
Iernment will be protected against any
chance of loss.
The Treasury report to the commit
tee covers the period from 1886 up t.
date, and gives in great detail for
each quarter the operations Of the
Treasury. 1t shows that on an ever
age for the 26-year period the daily
cash balance carried in the Treasur.'
has been upward of $20OOO0,OOO.
1t is admitted in the report that in
stead of this immense balance of cash
the Treasury could have got along very
well with not more than $20,Q0O,O0O in
: its vaults, while the remainder might
well have been left in the banks to
meet the current needs of business. If,
instead of holding a daily average bal
.ance of $2OO,O0OOO0 in the Treasury.
the funds had been deposited in the
banks at per cent interest, the Gov
Iernment would have profited to the ex-
tent of $7S,000,000. The report gives in
detail the operation of the Treasury in
making special distributions of sur
plus cash among favored banks to
meet money stringencies, mostly in
Wall Street, during the period covered.
representative Cox, of Indiana, who
is the chairman of the House Commit
tee on Expenditures in the Treasury
Department to which the report was
sent, said this evening that the Pome-
rene-Goeke bill to reform the Treas
ury methods in the matter of deposit
ing surplus Government funds, with
the banks would be pushed at this
session. This bill, in addition to pro-
viding that Government moneys shall
be distributed to banks Offering the
highest rate of interest, also provides
that the daily cash balance of the
Treasry shall not exceed $4,000, 900
In the Senate the bill is pending DO
fore the Finance Committee while no
action has been taken on it.

The Department Of Agriculture,

Western state where so many camp

play a tendency ito concentrate in

stock within the fenced areas until thu
enclosures are entirely denuded Of
