The loss in deposits is insignifi cant; the increase in the number of depositors very significant. With increased cost of living and other war conditions. the de- crease in deposits might we'll be expected: the increase of deposi- tors shows that the saving habit is greatly growing in our coun- try.

Liberty Loans and Savings Banks

The effect of the Liberty Loans and the War Savings Stamps on savings banks deposits has been watched with keen interest by economists and financiers. The experience of England was very encouraging; in the year 1916 the English small depositors pur- chased billions of dollars of war bonds and at the same time in [creased their deposits in savings Blanks over $60,000,000.
 The belief is entertained that the result in America has been very similar to that in England, and thatdespite the purchase by the American people of some $1O,00G, 100000 of Liberty Bonds and $5OO.OOO,OOO of War Savings Stamps, very fair proportion of which were purchased by say ings banks depositors, savings banks deposits have increased.
 Full reports have been receiv ed from the savings banks in New York State. They show a decrease in deposits for the last year of only S8,OOO,OO0, but an increase of 21.252 depositors.

The Governments Call to The Mer.
 chants

chants
 The Government has asked Arkansas for five thousand, nine hundred and twenty-two mer chants. who will become their authorized Agencies for the sale of United States Thrift Stamps and War Stamps.
 Mir. Moorhead Wright, State Director, has turned this most | important work over to the trav- cling men, who are represented | by committee of which H. s. Spivey is chairman, and c. H. | Wickard is secretary. They have appointed a chairman for each county in the state, Mr. H. T. Gray acting in this capacity in Lonoke county, and he in turn has appointed several men to as sist him. These are all travelling Gen who make all points in their county, and their work consists in soliciting merchants to become ! Authorized Agencies of the Treasury Department, who agree to at all times keep a stock of stamps on hand, and push their sale. The Treasury Department keeps a record of all Agencies established, and issues to each Certificate. showing he is their Authorized selling Agent.
 Our country at this time, is expecting all of her loyal citizens to co operate with her in every vsay possible, and this is the aid the merchants can. and are ex pected to give, as loyal mer chauts, they should have on dis play their Certificates. and feel just pride in it's possession, knowing that while our great and grand Army is serving on the fields of France, the farmers are growing food stuffs, and the intuition workers are furnishing the things needed on the battle field, they are selling Americas securities. thereby supplying the money, without, which nothing could be done.
 During the last few weeks, over twenty six hundred mer chants have become Treasury Agents, and are doing a great work.
 These selling Agencies should not be confused with the Collec- tion Agency who holds pledge cards. Pledges should be paid at the collection agency designa. ted on the pledge card. The Sell ing Agency should use all his best efforts to induce those who have signed pledge cards to in. crease the amount they are pledged to buy and to sell to all those who have not pledged to buy.
 All people on entering store, should look for the Authorization Certificate. Let it act as the merchants badge of loyalty to America.

Plant Fall Potatoes Now

Those who haven't already done so should plant a small patch of late potatoes for winter use. 4 few short rows will pro. duce all the average family needs and a few extra ones for plant. ing the spring crop. Don't de pend on the local market and pay from three to four dollars a bushel for your winter supply. Plant a few of the Irish Cobbler or Lookout Mountain varieties if you can get them.
