Savings banks Subscribe.

In commenting on the subscriptions
from private subscribers and savings
banks the Federal Reserve Bank says:
Although the resources OF the mutual
savings banks located in this district
have not been included in making UP the
aggregate quota, and the savings banks
themselves have not been allotted
any quotas. many of them, ap9re-
ciating that these certificates OF the Gov
eminent having short maturities and
bearing interest at the rate of "A per
cent. per annum are extremely valuable
investments for savings banks, have vol
UNFAIRLY subscribed for considerable
amounts. and such banks have conse-
quently been included in the list OF sub
scribers.
in addition to the above there are
doubtless many individuals and non
banking corporations that purchase the
certificates indirectly through the me-
dunn OF the banks: and this course is
urged upon all those desiring TO make
short time Investments for their surplus
funds or preparatory investments In an
ticipation of their subscriptions to the

Individuals Ask for Certificate.

Notwithstanding that they were not
mentioned in the request made by the
Secretary OF the Treasury. quite few
savings banks. individuals and nom
banking corporations have applied for
the certificates. there being nineteen
savings banks and seventy private sub
scribers.
With regard to the issuance OF the
names Of subscribers and non-subscrib-
ers the Federal Reserve Bank says:
These lists will be published from
time to time shortly after each issue OF
certificates and will contain state
ment OF the amounts actually subscribed
for each issue by the institutions. The
purpose of the publication will be not
only to stimulate the subscriptions TO
the certificates, but also to afford to
each institution that Is subscribing reg
ularly to the certificates information as
to the part being played by all the other
Institutions in our district
The publication OF the list will also
doubtless have the effect. which Is very
much to be desired. OF impressing upon
the mercantile and other users OF bank
ing credit the necessity for curtailing as
rigdly as possible their own use OF such
credit at their local institutions in order
that the Government may have sufficient
money in hand to conduct the war"

Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo re-
Gently requested that the banks and trust
companies every two weeks lay aside
pa per cent OF their gross resources to
be invested in United States certificates
OF indebtedness so that the Government
may use the funds until ready for the
next Liberty Loan. An analysis Of the
subscriptions. however. shows that the
so-called country institutions, that IL.
smaller banks and trust companies, are
not doing their proper share. In some
instances the banks and trust companies
in small towns have not subscribed at all
for the certificates OF Indebtedness.
The Federal Reserve Bank OF New
York announces that a summary Of the
subscriptions received for the first issue
of certificates Of Indebtedness dated
June 25. 1918, and due October "a. 1913.
shows that OF a total of 1.045 national
and State banks and trust companies.
only 594 subscribed. while 4bl did
not subscribe. In other words about
40 per cent of the banking insti-
tutions are in the Stacker class. BY

HOME SERVICE

A department of the Red Cross auxiharies and b "a h e which should have special attention at the present time, as nearly two hundred men are about to depart for the camps, is the Home Service depart ment. This department has been talked of considerable, but little publicity has been given from which one would know whether such de- partment existed or not.
 The value of such department in every town is so great and it's bene- fits so far reaching, that it seems such an important organization which helps to relieve the anxiety that soldiers with families naturally feel, would utilize some means for publicity which would prove of great advantage to those concerned. We will say here that the columns of this paper will be given gratuitiously for any such information, but the point which seems to us of vital importance at the present time, is that no time should be lost in giving such informa- tion wide circulation.
 In . few weeks there will be . nearly two hundred men from this district alone, who will go to camp. Many of them do not know that the government will help support their families providing they will also help This is one of the matters the Home Department could attend to and ac- cemplish results which if left undone might cause suffering and anxiety The government is doing everything possible to make our soldiers com fortable, but it has no mind reader in it's staff, therefore it is necessar! for. persons to make their want known if hey would have relief.
 We have been told that there ar ssecases in this vicinity, where person v have suffered because of the failur to file the necessary papers whic
 would require the government t make regular monthly allowanc in connection with that of the soldier Such conditions should not exis
