SAVING MADE EASY.
American Savings Bank Install
Christmas Club.

By its adoption of the Christmas
Savings Club, the American Savings
Bank of this city has proven its right
to a place among the most progressive
banks of the country. This Club gives
everybody a chance to save regularly
for the bank desires to encourage and
is willing to accept small amounts.
Even boys and girls are invited to be-
come members, for it is well-known
fact that the savings habit needs to be
fostered in this country. Once the
youthful mind realizes how really easy
it is to save and how pleasant it is to
have money in bank, the saving habit
will become life long.
Many men and women, whether
their incomes are large or small, find
it difficult to get ahead financially
They postpone the time when they will
start saving to provide for the rainy
day because they never seem to have
enough money to start bank account.
The Christmas Club is great benefit
to the people in this way for they don't
need any more capital to get started
than the first small payment, and, af-
ter all, the start is the important
thing.
The Club opens weeks of Deem
Der q and runs for fifty weeks, so
that each member receives check in
time for Christmas shopping. When
payments are made regularly the
bank allows interest on the account,
which is always an encouragement to
saving.
A number of plans are offered and
members may select one or more OF
them. In the uniform classes one may
pay 25c, soc, $100 or $500 weekly, the
totals amounting respectively to
$3.50, $500, $4,000 and $4,000,
Regular bank books are not needed
in carrying the Christmas Club &C
counts. The American Savings Bank
is using a patented card system, in
which the record of payment is made
by punching cards. This not only
gives the depositor a receipt, but also
shows exactly how much has been
paid in to date, and does away with
any possibility of error
This attractive method of saving
has proven most popular.

ROAD is VALUED FAR
BELOW CAPITALIZATION

Washington. Nov. 23.-The physical
valuation Of the New Orleans, Texas
& Mexico Railway, announced to-day
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. places the cost Of reproduction at
1856. $50. It is capitalized at 1885,
OBJ.
The report shows the original cost OF
the line equipped was $12,194,2S1. The
record cost Of road equipment was
found unduly large.
"The issue of s2s,OOo,o 900 bonds" the
report says, "is really portion Of an
authorized issue Of S50,o00,000 and al
though the issue Is really part Of the
capitalization of the New Orleans,
Texas & Mexico, it Is an obligation
primarily Of the St. Louis & San Fran
cisco"
The railroad is part Of the Gulf Coas.
Lines, which skirt the Gulf coast from
New Orleans TO Brownsville.
The announcement of valuation was
the second the commission had made
in its work Of apprsising the railroad
systems Of the country.
