Secretary McAdoo has announced
that all banks and trust companies
in which funds of the railroad admin
istration or of the various federal
subtreasuries are deposited must pay
per cent interest on deposits, pay
able by check on demand, and per
cent on time deposits. payable after
thirty days
Heretofore, according to the an
nouncement, as Investigations show
ed, rates of interests allowed by
banks on railroad deposits ranged
from to 5 per cent. The higher
rates paid had been used by some
banks as an excuse for excessive
rates charged to customers.
Banks are called upon, under the
new announcement, to observe faith
fully interest laws of their respective
states and not charge rates of inter-
est in excess of those permitted by
law.

Of paper which will result in eliminat-
ing wastes and increase the produc-

will enable mills ito run their ma
chimes more continuously than here

larger output with the same equip

force.
To Confine Stocks to Essentials.
by standardizing products in this
manner mills and distributors will be
able to confine their stocks to the es-
sentials, thereby increasing the rapid
ity of their turnover and the emci-
ency of their working capital. The
stocks which wholesalers and retail
ers are now obliged to carry can I'M
doubtedly be very materially reduced
by this means. The consuming public
may be slightly inconvenienced in
some cases by not being able to pur-
chase just the same article that they
formerly bought, but every patriotic
citizen should be glad to make the
small sacrifice in order to help win
the war.
'The pulp and paper section has
also adopted recommendations for
curtailing the consumption of paper
