Putting Thrift LIN The Show Window

When bankers began to realize
some years ago that their service, like
merchandise, could be shown in win
dow displays and other exhibits
they devised many ingenious ways OF
window dressing.
The wisdom of saving can be de-
mOnstrated by showing how money
grows through its own earning
power. Interest tables are apt to be
dry stuff, but people are easily in
terested in money itself when actual
money is used instead of figuAes
System" reports an exhibit by an
Eastern bank which uses actual
coins and bills to show the interest
earning power of savings.
What does this suggest to yor:'
reads a sign in the bank window
Then there is a cent beside an hour
glass, dime beside a card marked
To-day" three silver dollars beside
a card reading June, and then
comes an equal sign followed by SAP
in currency, and an interest table
for ten years. Which is a graphic
way of showing that one cent an
hour or dime saved every day for
ten years will amount to $780, and
that the interest on such a nest egg
amounts to $S2-total SAP.
Good window dressing along this
line il playing an important part in
the national thrift movement center
cd on War Savings Stamps. Such
teaching Of thrift through object les.
sons IS no longer limited to banks
and thrift institutions, but can BIZ
carried into shops, factories, schools
and even churches-every place
where people organize to save money
ard invest in Thrift Stamps. The
growth of money invested in stamp
can be shown by the stamps them
selves, in connection with coins ant
bills.

State College Will Furnish InfOrma-
ton Concerning Available Farm
Lands In The State.

To meet the inquiries of returning
soldiers and citizens in various parts
of the country, for information re-
garding farms for sale or rent in
Maryland, the Extension Service Of
the State College through it's County
Agents will assemble and maintain
detailed data on all such farms for
the information and use of interested
persons.
3 blank form, which when properly
\ filled in will give all the important
details in which the prospective buy
CT or renter would be interested, has
been prepared and a liberal supply
forwarded to all County Agents
Any farmer or farm owner in Mary
land who wishes to sell or rent his
farm should procure one of these
forms from his County Agent, fill it in
and return same to Agent who will
then send it to headquarters at Col
lege Park.
1t should be clearly understood that
neither the State College nor any of
its Agents will have anything to do
with the actual sale or rental of any
particular farm. The State College
through it's Agents simply propose to
act as a medium in bringing the two
contracting parties together after
which the transaction rests entirely
with them
BY having available accurate,
trustworthy information on several
hundred farms the State College VIII
I,be inI q position to give intelligent
answers to the hundreds OF INQUIRIES
that are received each year from
persons DESTROYS Of buying or rent
ing land in Maryland. For example,
II man wants truck farm, it will
not be necessary for him to incur
the expense Of conducting personal
survey Of several counties, for his
attention will be directed at once to
available farms in the trucking Sc .
tons OF the State, and this same idea
will be carried out for fruit farms,
dairy farms, grain farms, etc.

RDOTLEGGERS PLAY "HIDE AND

Startling Revelations linn Memphis
Whisky Ring Are Coming TO Light.

Memphis, Tenn, June 1.-Starcling
revelations follow one another in the
Government probe of the alleged
whisky ring here. A corps of Depart
ment of Justice operators are de-
scending upon the city from nearby
States, having gathered data saiu to
involve high officials of the United
States staff, members of the police
force and the Sheriff's office.
Already one ward leader has been
convicted in Federal Court. A deputy
marshal has been suspended following
instructions from Washington. The
Federal Grand Jury has subpoenaed
a number of witnesses from nearby
towns.
Bootleggers and whisky ring lold-
ers are hastily shifting booze. Two
carloads were sent to New Orleans
from Memphis last night.
One boOtlegger has paid $1,000 In
demurrage on a car of liquor at
Charlottesville, Mo, awaiting delivery
to Mississippi river launches for
transportation here. One carload IF
whisky has been sent into and out Of
Memphis three times by bootleggers,
who fear they are to be double-cross-
ed at the hearings and their liquor
confiscated.
Fifteen convictions were secured
during the past week and Federal in
vestigators declare the work has just
started.

shrinking OF late, with more or less
reaction to higher levels at times
Cattle are at least 81 per 100 of from
the top and fresh meats are some
lower, at least at wholesale. An In
dianapolis packer issued a new price
list, effective today, which shows re.
auctions of &c to 4c per pound on some
cuts of meat, also a slash of lie per
pound on veal and mutton at whole
sale. Whole carcasses of cattle are
listed at Inc to 3kc below recent
prices.
Cheapest in Months
This should mean cheaper beef to
Indianapolis consumers, the cheapest
in months. though there have been
other reductions of little Importance
in a wholesale way. There has also
been slight reduction in smoked and
saited meats within a few Gays. The
prices on fresh meats have also been
lowered by the Chicago packers and
this drop should be noticeable at local
butcher shops and markets from TODAY

decline in cattle prices.

Cattle Undersoes Decline
With reference to this condition.

these heavy receipts, cattle has suf-
tered decline of 81 to SIS per 100, as
compared with the highest spots, and
hogs lost 81 per 100 pounds during the
week. Hogs which sold at $40 on Sat
urday, May 81, had no market at $19
last Saturday. With lighter receipts
ana cooler weather it is predicted that
the hog market will be at least steady
during the present week but to us it
looks as though cattle may sell still
lower. With moderate receipts Of
calves and lambs last week the market
