Theft Is becoming critical factor
to reports. An insurance journal,
compiling results for 1918. has stated
that of the eight classifications OF
auto insurance, seven are more or less
profitable; only one, theft, being clear
~ Improbable. 1t is stated the losses
in stolen cars aggregate $4,000 day
in this country, and Charles B. Dis
brow of the American Automobile,
writing in the National Underwater
recently, said: "If present conditions
continue to grow worse, theft insur-
ance will have to be discontinued alto
gether."
But a company has been organized
in Detroit, Mich. which proposes "ab-
stracts OF titles" for automobiles, and
here Is their announcement:
A real solution of the motor car
theft problem and reduction on
theft insurance rates of at least 80
per cent is the promise OF the Auto
mobile Abstract 4 Title Co., a million
dollar Detroit and Chicago corporation
which proposes to issue abstracts Of
title for automobiles.
No more feasible plan has been ad
vanced for the complete and absolute
elimination of the automobile thief. II
will be quite as impossible to stea
and sell motor car so protected as II
would be In the case of real estate
In fact the automobile abstract finds
an exact parallel in the abstract is
sued for real estate--to prove owner
ship and guarantee title.
From the. motorists point OF view
the immediate and most important re
suits will be a material reduction II
theft rates which, in many parts o
the country are now prohibitive.
In addition, the abstract will serve
number of other worthy purposes sucl
as providing information OF mort
cages, liens, and similar legal claim
which may exist against car.

A certain Brinkley merchant
who claims that his ads in the
Argus didn't get him as sat
isfactory results as he thought
they ought to, should have
heard two or three real success
full farmers talking or the
streets of Brinkley Tuesday af-
ternoon and THEN he would
have found out why his adver-
Using hasn't brought him the
results he was expecting. Had
he have been there he would
have heard one of the very
best and most successful farm
ers in Eastern Arkansas, when
he told Of having sent one of
the men on his farm to the
Brinkley merchant for an ar
ticle and the said Brinkley mer-
chant not having it declined to
send out and buy the staple
article to send to his country
customer and let the man go
back some several miles with
out it. This farmer is silt

NI5s0y3P5 GOVERNOR
WRITES TO BANKERS
Urges Them to Get Behind U. 8. Cow
ernment's Thrift Campaign

Frederick ID. Gardner, governor VI
Missouri, has written an open letter
to the head Of each banking institution
in the state, placing his seal Of ap-
prevail on the Thrift campaign.
The governors letter follows:
The government is now prosecuting
a National Thrift Campaign, and
hope that all the banks in this state
will give this movement their unquali-
fed suppsrt.
The organizing of Savings Societies
for the purchase OF Thrift and Savings
Stamps and the new Treasury Savings
Certificates will convert many spend
ers into savers.
Every rev saver ultimately becomes
a bank depositor.
Every new bank depositor, no mat
ter with what bank he starts, is a
distinct additional asset to the entire
banking community.
A person once having acquired the
habit of saving, will be a. bank Gus
toner all his life. For this reason
EVERY BANK in this state should
push this movement to the utmost OF
its ability, not forgetting that every
Thrift and Savings Stamp and Treas
ury Savings Certificate sold will ulti-
mately build up a savings account. i.
Thrift practiced means the retain
ing Of wealth in the hands of those
who earn it, instead of allowing 1t
to become concentrated in the hands
of the few. Nothing will stabilize our
government more than the bringing
about of this general condition OF
Thrift
