Increase in wealth Of county $2,039,4S7
ONLY PART OF INCREASE.

It must be borne in mind that the
increase in wealth, amounting to 81
O39, 4S7, is on two items only, Liberty
Bonds and bank deposits.
It certainly is a matter Of satisfac-
ton to everyone to know that this
county has not only been able to abb
sorb this large and unusual invest
ment without curtailing tho loaning
power of our banks, but has added to
their resources 1921 900.
OTHER ITEMS OF WEALTH..
It is still more of a satisfaction to
realize that the citizens Of this county
have added so largely to their wealth
and prosperity. This gain of $4,000.
900 is in reality only a part of the in
crease. II an inventory could be ia
ken of the increase in the value OF
live stock, grain and merchandise it
would be found that Wapello county
has added many millions to its wealth
since q year ago.
PEOPLE LEARN THRlFT.
Although it might have been ex-
pected that savings banks deposits
would have been decreased by the
withdrawal Of money for the pur-
chase Of Liberty Bonds, the returns
from the various banks show that this
has not been the case. The savings
deposits have increased, indicating
that the people Of Wapello county are
learning and practicing thrift.
The Liberty Loans have been an
educational factor and thr1ft-form-
ing agency as well as q patriotic
necessity.

Gather in, you old timers! Here
| comes story from one you have shot
| with at the traps, been entertained by,
remember and love for his congen1al,
cheerful and sunny disposition. A
man who never let friend get by
without an invitation to be wined and
dined by himself and good wife at
their home. Capt. w. Y. Sedan, for
merly of Omaha, now a resident OF
Rockport, Texas.
He selected Rockport for home,
because it was the game and hsh1ng
Mecca for the sportsmen Of the world,
where they all gather to try conclu-
sions; known as the best point on the
Gulf coast for duck shooting. Dick
Merrill Of Milwaukee, one of the best
all around sportsmen in America, one
of the best fish and game locaters in
the world, adopted Rockport as his
winter home; there he has the cele-
brated power boat Beatrice NJ" !,
where Fred Gilbert and the writer
were entertained for week, cruising
the bays and bayous, killing the limit
Of birds each and every day; scoring
on no variety except red heads. Mer-
rill had as a slush cook, darkey
called "Nigger Tom," that Gilbert and
! utilized as retriever. He was as
much at home in the water as Cata-
lima Island seal. During the time be-
tween the flights, he would loaf in the
boat with us, noting carefully the fall
of the birds and Immediately starting
in pursuit of same; he swan high in
the water, moving rapidly ahead with
the Australian Crawl stroke; his
velocity was such that he would slip
many surprise over to wounded
duck, before they knew Of the dar.
keys proximity. When gathering, if
flock headed in toward our decoys,
he would flop over onto his back, with
nothing but his little round face ex.
posed, he had every appearance Of
float on the cork line of sein; il
duck was wounded he carried a sawed
of shotgun out to sea with him,
which he fired most accurately on es-
Gaping birds.

first issue and 81, 03S 900 OF the second
