The Commissioner says in his no.

sylvania are thrifty; naturally they
are intensely patriotic; actually they
are extravagant. The people of the
| state are living in luxury as COM
pared with conditions during and af-
| ter the Civil War. Some time early
this year the Government will ask
the people to loan it more billions.
The money must come very largely
from the savings of the people. The
banks must furnish the people of
| the state money to carry on their
business. Banks can not help in
this respect by selling their securi-
ties and investing the proceeds in
Liberty bonds. The people should
save and deposit in banks or buy
War Savings Stamps"
Owing to the wise banking laws
and the careful attention given to
investments the banks of the state
are in excellent condition to serve
the Government and their patrons,
but the people must do their full
share. There will be ample money
| TO carry on the necessary business
| Of the state and still loan to the
\ Government Pennsylvania share in
carrying on the war if every citi-
zen of the state will appreciate the
| importance of saving regularly and
! Systematically"
