HOW SAVINGS HABIT

These great dividend days bring
American bankers new opportunities
and also responsibilities. How can
uew thrift habits be linked 10 thrift
institutions? How can this money,
the product of thrift be modified for
further work?
Already the bankers are working
with the Treasury Department TO
continue thrift habits. For people who
save money there is a wide range OF
thrift institutions that Will take
charge OF funds, put them to work
safely. and return good earnings. As
the government plans TO borrow by
general education Of thrift In every
Kind, so the banks and thrift institu
tons can aid the government by en-
couraging general thrift and building
bigger business themselves.
One Of the first steps to be taken oy
bankers Is that Of spreading tnforHra-
ton about banks, life insurance. build
ing and loan associations, federal farm
loans. and all other thrift institutions.
The best way to meet Uncle Sam 3

Hugh Ferguson, in the Mounds
vile Penitentiary, under sentence to
be executed on August 6, last week
made a complete confession to Arch
deacon B. M. Spur, chaplain of the
penitentiary, of the crime for which he
was convicted-a brutal attack upon
Mrs. Ernest Zimmerman, young ma
iron residing near Berkeley Springs.
Throughout the trial the negro had
maintained his innocence but Thurs
day admitted his guilt. Ferguson had
served two terms in the penitentiary,
having been sent up for one year and
later two years, and had been out but
a day or two when he attacked Mrs.
Zimmerman. Following his arrest he
was rescued from mob at Berkeley
Springs, who had gone in automobiles
from Hancock, where the Zimmerman
family resided before moving to the
outskirts of the town. He was re-
moved to Moundsville for safekeeping
until his trial several weeks ago, when
he was found guilty and sentenced to
death and taken back TO the peni-
Tertiary.

All of US of course are trying 10
pierce the veil OF the immediate future
far enough to make up our minds
whether prices are going to stay up or
to come down. To those who think
they will come down and who base
their belief on the course Of prices
Immediately after the Civil War Mr..
Theodore N. Vail has pointed out one
pertinent fact. The decline in prices
that followed the Civil War was largely
owing to a change from hand labor
to machinery, which, of course, is more
productive. No such change on any
similar scale is likely now, or even pos
Sible.

A report from Winchester, said TO be
from an authoritative source, states
that large financial interests, headed
by Philadelphia capitalists, have form
ed a syndicate to buy up first-class ap-
pie and peach orchards in the Shenan-
doah Valley and adjacent territory. The
American Fruit Growers, recently or
ganized by Pittsburg interests with a
capital stock of about Sl25,0OO, 900,
and with Charles ], Brand, former
United States director Of markets, as
vice-president and general manager,
has been successful in buying only two
large orchards in Virginia, one near
Winchester and the other near Lees
burg. due, it is said. to desire among
big growers to prevent the syndicate
from getting footing in this district.
1t is reported that the Philadelphia
syndicate intends to enter the field on
a large scale as competitor Of the
PittSburg concern. The activities OF
both concerns have created stir and
feeling of unrest among the growers
of Northern Virginia, who fear the ap-
pie market will become very much un-
settled during the shipping season.

LONDON, Nov. 27.-Maxim Litvin- off, who is at Copenhagen for a discus sion with James O'Grady, representing Great Britain, on the question of re- patriation of British prisoners held in Soviet Russia, already has attempted to carry the negotiations beyond the definitely specified field.
 One of Litvinoffs' first moves was to propose to MT. O'Grady that the allies lift their blockade on soviet Rus sia. This fact, it is considered here, bears out the view previously expressed among members of the diplomatic corps in Londan that Litvinoff, on behalf of the bolshevik regime in Russia, intended to make other proposals than those relating to prisoners.
 There are rumors that the bolsheviki will try to effect peace with the entente through MT. OGrady.
 Private advices concerning the con- ference in Copenhagen says that the >bolsheviki attitude is most conciliatory. Among other things, Litvinoff is said to have offered to telegraph Moscow, Petrograd and other bolshevik cities to obtain full reports as to the condi- tion Of British subjects in those places.
 While Great Britain is deeply inter ested in the trend of affairs at Copen- hagen, it was reaffirmed today that MT. O'Grady has been definitely in structed to enter into no negotiations beyond those relating to prisoners.
