Depositors' Weekly Savings Club
Has Been Organized With View
to Adjusting Self to Deposi-
tors Pocketbook. 4.
CAN SAVE ANY AMOUNT
Ideal Way to Secure Money for Any
Contingency, Emergency or Any
Reason at All is
Afforded.

The state Central Savings bank OF
Keokuk has recently adopted a sys-
TEN for saving money that is entire
ly new and 1t will make a strong ap-
peal to hundreds OF people Of Keo-
kuk.
It is called the Depositors' Weekly
Savings club and admits of the great
est flexibiIity, in that it adjusts It.
self to the depositor's pocket book.
The president Of the bank, Judge
William Logan, explains 1t to us
about as follows:
t.If boy wishes to get $1,000 or
$500, he may take out card and
once a week make q payment ranging
from two cents to fifty cents and at
the end of fifty-two weeks. the bank
will pay the boy $13.73.
People will do q thing better with
an ultimate object in view. A per
son can save better II he tries to ac-
cumulate $50 within specified time.
In the same manner, II person
desires to get an amount such as
$27.45, s54.89, $109.7S or. $219.56. he
can make weekly payments that fit
his income and may choose the
amount he wishes to lay aside so
that If the depositor has sickness.
loss of position, or hard luck OF any
kind, there are small payments he
can make, in keeping with his imam
ciaI condition and at the same time
have a definite and fixed amount to
his credit at the end of the year.
BY using this system, you can save
money for definite purpose such as
buying a home, or paying off mort.
gage.
It offers an ideal way to secure
money for paying taxes, insurance or
debts of any kind.
If you wish money to spend at
Christmas time you can start In now
or at any time and withdraw your
money Just before Christmas.
Another good feature about It Is
that a person can take out more than
one card If he finds that he can save
a little more than he thought. Then,
too, 1t is open to all depositors on ev-
cry business day Of the year"
It strikes us that this system fur
nishes about the best illustration we
ever saw for accommodating a sub
stantial fund with the least amount
of trouble and we can readily see
why people viii want to open new ac-
counts on this plan.

'No one can study the trade and
traffic conditions which obtain today
in the Mississippi valley without find
ing out that we have been neglecting
one OF the trade highways, which the
creator of the universe intended US to
use. The great rivers which traverse
the plains of the middle west have
been shamefully neglected in the light
of the usefulness, of which they are
really capable.
sit has taken the opening Of the
Panama canal with the resulting ben
efits, which have come to cities on
the seacoast Of our country, to stir
the cities of the middle west to a
realizing sense of the fact they too
must work out a plan by which their
products and manufactured goods may
be distributed over the world by
means of water shipments, under PEN
atty of loss OF such trade.
This means that our rivers must
be used to the fullest possible extent;
it means that connecting canals must
be built; channels deepened; barge
lines established for bulk shipments
,or heavy goods and packet lines for
Tighter goods; it means that every
city or town which wants to be in
| it. must have terminals, which means
docks or wharves Of such a nature
that any barge or boat can be unload
ed and loaded economically and quick
ily. These docks should be under
municipal control. so that everyone
shall always have the same rates

This is an appeal to the producers,
manufacturers and shippers of the
Mississippi valley to unite In the
building Of terminal facilities SO as to
utilize the Mississippi river system
for transportation purposes. It is the
most important problem which now
confronts the business men Of the en-
tire valley in order that the transpor-
tation rates may be so readjusted as
to give the rich agricultural and in
dustrial territory the same opportuni-

I'VE as people are charged by the
Creator with the responsibility OF

this means water gasl well as land. Il
we fail In this wise decree then must
future generations suffer by the act
iof an over anxious or rather greedy
public.
From this point Of view cities To-
Gated along the banks OF navigable
streams that have the destructive
agencies of floods to contend with.
fought encourage improvements OF
those streams to the end that they
may serve as avenues OF commerce at
all times except during periods when

that the benefits accruing from such
navigation and conservation will coun.

While they may never serve in all
respects as the most successful com.
