but officials at each bank today gave
estimates.
The Bank OF Martinsburg, which
inaugurated the idea several years
ago, will pay about $4,000 to its
n embers Last season the amount
waP $4,000, or an increase of about
$4,000 The amount may be more
than $4,000 when all is paid in.
The Old National Bank, which IS
Cnly on it's second year, will pay out
about 100000, an increase OF about
$4,000 over the amount distributed
last year. This figure may also be
increased when the time for the dis.

Farmers Bank. while they do not
have any savings club, will pay out
large amounts before the Christmas

more money will change hands and
that there will be more business than

NATION MUST HAVE
MORE FACILITIES
For Transportation If the High Cost
of Living Is to Be Reduced,
Says Thorn.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.--An in
crease in the nations transportation
facilities would greatly help shatter
the high cost of living, A. r. Thorn,
counsel for the railroads, today told
the Newland's congressional railroads
investigating committee, when he APP
pCared before that body as the first
witness.
He declared that the "cost of liv-
ing is advancing daily owing to the
shortage Of supplys, and that this
might be remedied by securing access
TO new areas of production. The rail
road facilities must grow if the com
merce of the country grows, and that
all men of affairs recognize that this
re quires the constant influx Of new
money"
He said further, the time has
come when the proper element Of
helpfulness must be introduced into
the system" as the railroads realize
the part the American government is
playing in their regulation, but their
1rst duty is to the public.
