Why Moscow Banks
Will Open and Close at
Fixed Hours in Future

This change is made in the public
interest-with the sole object in view
of rendering better public service. 1t
will enable the men to balance their
cash, close their records and clear
their desks of the mass of business
that accumulated during the day, and
it will enable them to open with clean
states and clear heads every morn
ing.
This is considered of the utmost i'm
portance to all who have business to
transact with the banks.
The hours agreed upon are 9 O'Clock
in the morning for opening, and 4
o'clock in the afternoon for closing
Experience in cities all over the coun-
try have proved these hours to be best.
The new schedule for opening and
closing will be put in operation Mon
day, July 8. On and after that date.
all the Moscow banks will open and
close on schedule No business of any

Red Cross Gets a Lift.

A successful program was given Sat-
urday evening at the Naylor school
house, three miles north of Moscow
under the auspices of the ". C. T. U.
for the benefit of the Moscow chapter
of Red Cross. Mrs. G. w. Kitchen
opened the meeting with an address on
the needs and the work of the Red
Cross society. The numbers on the
program were all enthusiastically re-
ceived, and were deserving of special
mention. At the close of the program
ice cream and cake was sold 1t has
been announced that over $25 was net
ted during the evening for the Red
Cross.

Conservation is the order of the day.
Demand for it runs through every
branch of the government; every line
of business and industry; every leg
itimate activity.
To conserve means to save, to econ
omize, to use to the best possible adj
vantage.
And then conservation of human
energy is the most vital of ALT is
the man behind the gun who must
win the war. Human energy is doubly
vital in these days of stress, even in
business, when clear heads and steady
nerves are so essential to efficiency
and good service.
The bankers of Moscow have been
forced to bow to this demand Of the
hour Instead of keeping their banks
open early and late, in season and out,
it has been found imperative to open
for business at stated hours and close
at stated hours.

BRITISH TO DRIVE ON.
Winter Campaigns such Is Never
BEFORE Tried Planned.

WASHINGTON, Nov. a7--The British
drive on Cambrai will be followed up re-
icntlessly by similar offensives along the
western front, in the opinion OF ofiicers
familiar with what IA in prospect In
France Authoritative announcement
has been made abroad that this winter
would see no halt in operations. With
tho return Of American divisional com
manders from observation tours in
France il has become certain that the
French and British armies will prose-
cute miLwinter campaigns such as never
before attempted.
Meagre official reports Of the progress
OF the drive on Cambria indicate clearly
that Gen. Byng's forces are aiming at a
great cucirclinS movement With a wide
wedge driven into the Cambria front
the British commander apparently Is
working his way behind the German
lines on his left flank. II he succeeds
in penetrating deeply IN that direction
many officers here believe he will force
a retirement by the Germans on " ide
front
Meanwhile the British and French
pressure further toward the Belgian
coast Is unccasng. A new offensive
effor, there is expected as a part OF the
whole plan on which the Allies are en-
gagged of forcing the Germans back from
long section of the coast where sub
marine bases are located.
/ The Cambria SUCCESSES have an i'm
portant bearing. in the opinion OF officers
here. on this general plan Of accom-
plishinE during the winter a decisive
result In the coastal region as the
/ foundation upon which next years
offensive campaign can be laid,
