Football, as played in America, as

influential sport journals OF that
country, is raising a fund for the
purchase OF baseballs. bats and
footballs and the distribution Of
prizes among the soldiers TO stimu-

Gen. Pennella- commander OF the
Second italian Army. in a letter TO
the Gazetta dello Sport. says that
football and baseball games are Of

There are about 1000. 900 men now
under arms, training to tight, and
It takes . lot OF money to feed. clothe,
transport and equip such a force Of
consumers who previously were self,
supporting. Uncle Sam cannot at once
reach into the pockets Of those who
stay at home and draw out by tax
atidn enough money to pay the bills
Of such an army and navy. The only
possible source Of ready cash is to
borrow from those who have It. u.
The farmers have shown their
energy In producing the largest crops
and have endured hardships due to .
shortage Of help, and I believe they
will loan to Uncle bam every dollar
they can spare. thus giving full sup
port to the farmers son who arc

|BAMk DEPOSITS NOT
DEPLETED BY LOANS
Despite the Fact That Billions Have
Been Invested In Liberty Bonds,
an Increase 10 Shown.

There is in some sections fear on
the part Of the banks that Liberty
Loan subscriptions will tend toward q
material decrease in bank deposits.
To offset this fear the following
summary of the statement Of the
Comptroller Of Currency, dated April
Is, 1918, should correct this impress.
sion.
This statement. naturally. applies
only to national banks. but is doubt
less also true Of state banks and trust
companies.
On March Is. 1917. the total depos'
its of national banks we're $12,957,
O00,O or nearly Is billions.
In spite of the sale Of Liberty Bonds
since that time of $3.50. OOO, 600, or
about six billions, the deposits in ma
tional banks on March 4. 1918, show
an increase of $1,480, $50 1000, or near
ly one and one-half billion. as com
pared with March s, 1917.
The total amount Of Liberty Bonds
owned by national banks on March 4
1913. was $433, 73S, 900. This Is less
than $500.
This amount of Liberty Bonds
owned by national banks on March 4
1918, is only about IN per cent OF
the total of the first and second Lib
erty Bond issues.
These facts should be given by the
directors of publicity to all banks in
their localities.
1t Is the most accurate and forcible
evidence of the effect upon bank de-
posits of the Liberty Bond sales.
