WHEELING BANK LEADS

The action of the Dollar Savings
and Trust Company in declaring Il
special extra dividend TO its stock
holders to be paid in Liberty loan
bonds is not only a patriotic inspra-
ION but a most effective way to en-
list the personal interest Of the indi-
yidual recipients of these bonds in the
governments participation in this
great contest for humanity and the
highest ideals of civilization. The
bank has made an admirable invest
menL in encouraging the idea Of en-
gazing the personal interest Of the
individual in this extensive loan. The
possession of a Liberty loan bond
gives the holder feeling that he is
a partner in the wonderful work his
government has undertaken to restore
peace TO troubled and harried
world.
While the banks OF the country
might subscribe 10 this entire loan,
that is not at all desirable, for obvi-
Gus reasons. 1t is the governments
view Of haring the bonds, placed with
the actual investing public rather
than the banks. The wisdom of such
4 distribution of the governments ob-
LEGATIONS is apparent. To have the
banks absorb most Of the offering
might be injurious to the financial
system OF the country in tieing up
funds which ought to be kept in a
fairly liquid condition. The Dollar
Savings and Trust Company has
given a very clear exemplifcation Of
the governments desires. and its pa
triotic example may we'll be emu
lated by the banks Of the nation.

begin in the senate tomorrow over
the dry clauses in the Lever bill as
passed by the house.
Dry forces also were busy, getting
ready to make secure the victory

when amendments to the Lever food
control bill were adopted. forbidding
the use of food materials in making
Intoxicating beverages. and authoriz-
ing the president to commander ex-
listing stocks OF liquor for war pur-
poses.
The brewer interests. with the aid
OF the Hearst newspapers and various
avenues of publicity, are ready to
make a desperate stand in the senate
for continued existence. Their prin-
eipal- arguments are three:
I. That the existing supply OF beer
will last only a few months at most,
and after that Americans will be-
come drinkers of whiskey.
2. That tho total prohibition of
the manufacture Of ascoholic bever~
ages will deprive the nation of vast
amount OF revenue.
8. That deprivation of their beer
will have an adverse psychological ef-
feet ON users of that beverage. espe-
cially in tho large wet cities.
Advocates of prohibition point out
that national abstinence from alco-
holic beverages will so greatly add
to the efYiciency Of American indus
tries and nghting forces that loss OF
revenue Will be completely offset.
