BONDS AND STAMPS
ARE AIDING BANKS
Records Show That Deposits
Piled Up Heavily During
War Period.

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 19.-The pur-
chase Of government bonds and Savings
stamps has increased rather than de-
creased savings deposits in the banks Of
the country. Recent statements from
various sections, from Los Angeles to
New York, show that since the armi-
stice was signed the savings banks OF
the country have been flooded with de-
posits. New York state recently passed
the $4,000, 00o, 900 mark, with the number
of depositors running up to more than
$500, 900.
The deposits piled up steadily all
through the Val period. A statement
covering savings deposits in all banks
other than national, Issued In Febru-
airy. 1918, sho oS that the AMOUNT arose
from $6,l47,bs2,232 in 1913 to S,727,oo7,-
971 in 1918.
The United States Postal Savings
banks found January and February OF
the present year exceptionally big
months for savings. Net deposits for
March had dropped to about half what
they were in January. Officials Of the
postal savings banks, however, said that
March Is always at a low figure In de-
posits because Of the annual labor MI
grafton. This year. also, receipts were
lowered by the Withdrawals Of aliens
VINO were attefnptfn TO return to Eu-
rope. The total Increase, however, dur
Ing the three months was approximate
ly SO, 500, 900.
The postal savings banks have con-
Quoted only very limited educational
campaigns In the past, and credit for
recent big increases Is freely given to
the work done In the savings stamp
campaigns. Persons VINO get the thrift
habit practice 1t In savings deposits as
well as in thrift and savings stamps
purchases, 1t has been shown.
The figures prove that In the tremen-
dous call upon the people of the coun-
try for money to float the Liberty loans
and the wan savings campaign, deposits
were not generally withdrawn from the
savings banks. On the contrary, 1t
appears hat extra effort has been made
TO pay for stamps and bonds out Of the
family income without touching the
NEST eggs that are growing In the
savings banks.
An interesting statement prepared by
the national war savings committee OF
Great Britain says: 1.-THE establish
ment of the national savings movement
did not starve other organizations for
| thrift. II stimulated them" II also
shows that deposits in the British Post
office Savings bank were 1856 millions
in 1915. and increased TO e42 millions
in 1919.

Mr.. Henry johnson Trimble.
aged 81 years, died at the Trim
BILE home in Washington March

of several months. Services
were conducted at the home

o'clock by Rev. Leroy Thomp-
son of Hope and burial occur

Henry Trimble was born at
Washington, Ark, April 13,
1857, in the house in which he

Mr.. Trimble was for many
years deputy clerk of this coun-
ty, first under Capt. Thos. II.
Simms and then others; he was
elected county clerk and served
one term, after which he was
deputy under other officers and
later became an abstracter. He
was for many years mayor of
Washington, and was clerk in
the State Land Office at Little
Rock for about 13 years he was
an elder in the Presbyterian
church at Washington and has
been member of that church
for many years. Mr.. Trimble

Mr.. Trimble made a speciality
of work on land titles and was
one of the most efficient men
in the state; he was a man who
took great pride in his home
and loved to beautify it. True
to his friends, he was kind and
accommodating and ready to di-
vide his last dollar, if necessary,
with any one in need.
About three months ago Mr..
Trimble became i'll and the ply
sicians told him that he had
leakage of the heart and COM
OlicatiOnS and that he was liable
to pass away at any time. He
became resigned to his fate and
calmly awaited the end, saying
that he was ready and willing to
answer the last summons.
In his death the town has lost
one of its oldest, most respected
and honored citizens, ever rea-
dy to aid in any progressive
move for the good of the COM
munity.
