BINGHAM SHORT
IN W.S.S. QUOTA
War Savings Stamp
Drive is to be Com
pleted.

Bingham county has not yet raised
her quota of war savings stamps and
/ the first week in December has been
selected to finish the drive. Pledges
have been signed for nearly enough
to make up our quota, but people
are neglecting to fulfill the pledges.
The amount of our assessment Is
$263,44O and we have raised only
$71,968 thus far. We have until
the first day of January to get this
money delivered to Washington and
persons who have signed pledge
cards are requested to get the money
into the hands of the local commit
tee by the first wee kin December
or sooner If they can. Those who
have not singed PLEDGES should at
tend to this investment in way to
give the committee as little work as
possible.
The fact that hostilities have
ceased does not alter the need for
money to carry on the war The ex-
pense of an army in the field still
continues tho of course the con-,
sumption of some materials is not
so great as 1t would be if hostilities
were going on The tremendous ex-
pense of maintaining an army and
returning them to their homes when
their work is finished still has to
be met and it is likely that the fifth
liberty loan drive in the spring
will be the last demand made
in the way of drives for the
war, bat that will he followed by
high taxes to supply the demands COR
money.
Persons who have paid their as
sessments in the war savings stamp
drive and done their full duty are
not to be assessed again to make up
our quota. 1t is the persons who
have pledged and not paid and the
persons who have not pledged at all
that must come up with their share
of the assessment.

:. $4,13O,5OO
Total 49,.

The Amalgamated Sugar COM
approximately $2,600,000 and the
fee other companies, the Layton Su-
gar company of Layton, the West
Cache Sugar company of Cornish,
the Peoples Sugar company of Mo-
roni, the Springville-Mapleton Sugar
company of Springville, and the Delta
Sugar company Of Delta, disbursed
approximately $1,000,000.
These large amounts, which
reached the farms yesterday, are .ex-
pected to make collections easy in
the various agricultural districts in
the two states, and the big mercan-
tile houses of the larger cities, ex-
pect that the debts due from farmers
will be heavily liquidated.
The steps by which such large
amounts are financed are always in
teresting. The local banks of course,
in these days of stress cannot furnish
the great sums necessary, as ar
rangements have to be made by the
sugar companies in the east and
west, and sometimes with the gov
ernment direct. The Federal Re-
serve banking system proves a vast
convenience to the financial insti-
tutions in making these payments.
The eastern and western bankers
with which the sugar companies
make the arrangements, deposit the
amounts with the Federal Reserve
banks in their respective cities, and
the money is at once telegraphed
without cost to the Federal bank in
Salt Lake, where it is placed to the
credit of the local banks with which
the sugar companies do business.
Thus, the old expensive system of
shipping in currency by the local
banks to meet such extraordinary de-
mands is obviated, and the cash OBJ
tanned 5000 miles away, is furnished
without delay and with no cost for
transmission.
The interest rates east an dwest
of course vary according to the
standing of the borrowers, but rates
this year are higher than at any
previous period.
