HELP DEPOSITORS BUY
Banks Working Out Scheme for Pur-
chase of War Bonds ON Installments.

Washington, May 26.-All federal
reserve banks are working upon a
plan to issue memorandum certifi-
Gates of $40 denomination to prospect
i've purchasers of small amounts of
liberty loan bonds, to enable them to
ray for the bonds by installments

reeds. Most of the banks taking the
deposits are in New York and the east.
"A number of other banks notified the
government that such deposits were
not desired. The money in this case
will remain on deposit, possibly ten
days, until it is needed by the depart
ment to meet American or allied needs
when it will be withdrawn, with ac-
Crued interest at per cent

RAILROAD PASSENGER SERVICE.

RAILROAD PASSENGER SERVICE.
1t is announced at Washington that
railroad passenger train service will
be generally curtailed during the
war, so as to ship a surplus of To-
comotives and cars to our allies in
Europe. Also it is desired to release
locomotives for use in drawing the
freight trains as far as possible.
Statesmen and others whose bust
ness requires a constant succession of
railroad journeys will feel the chance
a good deal. They will wind up their
business in one town and find they
have several hours of fruitleSs wall

sake of promoting national efficiency

this war, we must adjust ourselves

Pleasure travellers are fussy about
their trains. Many such are run at
a loss, and the cost is paid by the
great mass of the public in freight
rates.
The public would hardly be sat

ing money for the stockholders. But

congestion that has added to cost
of living, the public would often be

In thickly settled sections where
there are many trains many persons
never bother to look at a timetable
They just go to the station thinking
that a train will come along, and then
are angry if they have to wait. Here
is where the railroads make a mis-
take when they cut out their adver-
