To Our Friends

Two years ago yesterday the present management took charge of the Carlisle Independent and from that time to the present we have enjoyed the constant rcompanlonship of the good peo- pie of Carlisle and surrounding country. We have tried to make the paper better with each issue and as a reward for same have received the highly appreciated patronage of the wide a wake and thrifty business firms of the town. We have noted many changes and many improvements in Carlisle during the past two years, notwithstanding the coun try has been at war and our peo> pie have been called upon almost constantly for their share of the contributions to carry on the war. The improvements have been more noticeable in the coun try than in town, and many of our farmers have all the conven- fences of the city, in the way of water works. electric lights, etc. that all go to make life worth lly- ing. Our farmers and our mer-. chants have all been prosperous during these years and are forg ing to the front in most satis factory manner to themselves and to the general public.
 Carlisle is the best town on the Rock Island road from Little Rock to Memphis and is populat ed by a class of mep that arc. ever alert to the things that go to make up thriving town and community. They never let an opportunity that will be of bene- fit to the town and surrounding country go unheeded,
 I Now that the war is over and our boys will soon be coming home, let's all put cur shoulders to the wheel and boost for Car lisle. The coming years are full of promise and with united ac tion and energy we can make Carlisle the most desirable place to live and best business town in this part of the state.
 Our schools, both city and ru. ral, and our churches are all that could be desired at this time and will grow better with the prog ress of the town and country which should be rapid from this time forward.
 The Independent wishes to state that it is ready and willing at all times to use it's columns to it's very utmost for the upbuild ing of Carlisle and the farming section surrounding it.
 With many thanks for the past patronage of our most generous and public spirited people and a wish for most prosperous flu ture for them, we hope that ali will join in the march of future progress.

NOTES OF BUSY TOWNS
Big Manufacturing Concerns of the
Country Providing Employees With
Ground TO Grow Truck.

Manufacturers all over the country
are providing gardens for their en-
ployecs this year, according TO reports
Ia The United States Department OF
Agriculture.
One large manufacturing concern in
Ohio provided gardens for its em-
pioyees in 1917, and required them TO
keep an accurate record OF the time
spent working the gardens md the
value OF the crop grown.
Al the end OF the season the results
showed that the gardeners had re-
ceived % cents an hour for their spare
time spent In the gardens.
Another largo manufacturing con-
bern in Illinois plowed up a prize
forty-aorc alfalfa field and divided it
into garden plots for the use Of its
employees. The results obtained from
this garden plot far exceeded the ex-
pectations OF both the company and its
employees.

would Furthermore greatly increase the

PROPORTION OF DEPOSITS TO
CAPITAL AND SURPLUS
The tendency of the national banks
to expand deposits in proportion to
capital appears from the fact that in
1897 tho deposits OF national banks
amounted to four times their capital;
in 1907 to six and thrce-fourths times
their capital: and on, November 90.
1917. the deposits OF the national banks
amounted to thirteen and ne-half
times their capital. and nearly eight
times their aggregate capital and sur
plus.
Just what proportion ought to be
maintained so as to assure safety can
not be positively stated. 1t was long
held that the ratio OF notes to coin re-
serves should he one to three, and
some banking authorities have favored
the limit OF deposit liabilities to eight
times the capital. AS the surplus" of
the national banks is about the same
thlNG as capital. II would seem That
these institutions are still within tho
limit. though they have exceeded It as
compared with capital only.
The comptroller rcnews a previous
recommendation, that the total deposits
which 4 nationa! bank may receive be
limited TO eight or ten times the I'M
impaired capital and surplus.
The annual reports OF the Comp
trollcr of the Currency now constitute
most valuable compendium of bank
ing information, statistical and other
wise. This years report of Comptroller
Williams is one OF unusual interest.

NAY LEARN FROM q
BLUNDERs oF'THE PAST

1t is admitted by every thoughtful
man that serious blunder was made
years ago when the iron and steel in
dustry was concentrated so largely in
the Chicago Pittsburgh- atlantic coast
district. This development far excceds
the ability OF existing roads TO handle
the traffic. Increased rolling stock will
help, hut will not meet the situation.
There can he no adequate measure pro-
v'ded to take care OF tho vast traffic
OF This territory except by increased
mileage. as we'll as by increased rolling
stock. II is, therefore. becoming every
day more deeply impressed upon the
nation that the only solution OF this
problem IL 10 turn TO the South and
southwest the building Of plants for
the production Of munitions and Of all
the other great war activities in the
making OF iron and steel and chemica Is
and the building OF ships, and kindred
work
The Record concludes: "In the light
.! these facts we trust, therefore, that
II the railroad administration has for
moment even thought Of considering
the iessen!ng of the activity Of South
ern and Southwestern railroads in their
agricultural aud industrial work that
u VIII quickly and radically change its
views on the matter"
