DOING WITHOUT FLOUR, AND

Statements having been made to

to what the Food Administration is.
In the first place the Food Admin

WONDERFUL WEALTH

Ranks of st. Petersburg expecteu
the Liberty loans to cut down their
savings accounts greatly as they be-
loved many persons would remove
money from such accounts and put
il into bonds. Yet the records at tne
hanks show that while st. Petersburg
subscribed literally for bonds OF inc
first two issues the amount now actu'
ally on deposit in savings accounts Is
larger than it was before the nrst
bond issue. And the total of deposits
IN the four banks here is much larger
than before the bonds were proposed.
All over the country the same thing
is true. The Liberty bond issues have
mot reduced deposits in banks. The
country has swallowed the big bond
issues without particle Of trouble.
Regarding the condition of banks now
and before the first Liberty loan, the
comptroller of currency said:
The opening of the third Liberty
Loan finds the national banks OF the
country splendidly prepared to play
a big part in making this loan sue
cess.
The subscriptions which were sent
in by the national banks of the coun-
try to the first and second Liberty
loans for themselves and for their
customers aggregated the vast sum OF
81 IT'S 100000; and there were allot-
ted to the national banks on the sub
scriptions thus sent in by them
total of $1,000, 100000 of bonds of the
| first and second Liberty issues. These
huge subscriptions were practically
paid in full many weeks ago.
On March S, 1917, the total deposits
of the national banks of the country
amounted to $12957,OOO,OO0. Since
that date the secretary of the treasury
las sold and collected $5,S0S, 100000
of Liberty bonds, of which sum near
Ilv three fifths were taken by the ma.
|tional banks of the country and their
customers.
And yet after making settlements
for these huge investments the re-
ports of the national banks for March
A. 1918, showed that their deposits
were not only not diminished on ac-
lcount of withdrawals to pay for Lib
erty bonds, but the national banks
show in the period from March 5,
1917 to March 4, 1918, an actual in
crease in deposits of $1,4S05S9,000.
The total resources of the national
banks between March 5, 1917, and
March a, 1918, increased $2,O35,7S9,-
600, and amounted on the latter date
to s1S014,911,O00.
The deposits of the national banks
lon March 4, 1918, show very little
change as compared with December
|91, 1917, there being a total reduction
Iof $6,920,00O in deposits; but loans
and discounts in the same period
show reduction of $251,611,00G
The national banks were never in
a better position to assist in the plac-
ling of great government loan than
they are at this time Their total re-
sources are now about S2,000.000,000
in excess of what they were when the
first Liberty loan was offered in the
summer Of 1917; and the records
show that the great bulk Of Liberty
bonds which these banks placed have
|rassed on to permanent investors and
to customers who have been able to
pay for their bonds and carry them
without finding it necessary to borrow
money upon them.
