Thrift Habit Growing

Giving an interesting Sldellght on
the growth of the thrift habit In the
United States the Comptroller of the
Currency reports that in the national
banks alone the deposits last year
increased more than $3.50 100000
over the greatest total ever previous
ly attained, reaching the record
breaking figure of SIS, 423,081,0 900.
This gives an idea of the investing
strength of the nation which will be
expected to manifest itself when the
victory bonds are issued later in the
year.
In the five States constituting the
| Federal Reserve District the crop re-
venue last year amounted to ST.
574,240, 000-an increase over the
| figure of 1917 by more than $780,
100000 A great part of this mo-
ney was Immediately placed to saw
ings accounts and is therefore avail
| able for investment in the govern
ment's war securities which the
Treasury Department is offering-ln
the form of war savings stamps
and will issue-as Victory Liberty
Bonds pay the expenses incurred
in smashing the Hun.
Because of the profitable interest
rate offered and by reason of the
guarantee which stands behind every
war stamp and government bond it
is thought probable that the 1919 is
sue of War Savings Stamps will find
tens of thousands of purchasers and
that the Victory Liberty Loan will be
speedily absorbed,

Some Good Garden Ideas.

We give our garden heavy coat
of well rotted manure in early win
ter and pillow it as deep as possible
in the spring. 1t is thoroughly work
ed down and given an application of
acid phosphate at the rate of one
half ton per acre, narrowing phos-
plate in well before planting. Plant
ing is done as early as the weather
will permit.
Too much care cannot ne given
seed selection for the garden. With
out good seed, true to name and run
ming high in termination, a disap-
pointment is sure to follow, regard
less of other conditions. 1t is best
to plant only seeds of known quality
and get them as near home as posi-
BILE. Last season our sweet corn was
almost a complete failure, due, we
feel, to getting seed from the eX-
IRENE North. Price is a small con-
sideration in garden seed compared
to the disappointment from inferior
seed.
Our cultivation begins as soon as
plants are we'll up and continues
throughout the entire season till ev-
erything has reached maturity and
is harvested, when the entire garden
is cleaned up, plowed and sowed to
rye for a winter cover crop. No one
ever knew lazy man to have a good
garden unless his wife worked it. A
good garden means work, work all
the time, and then more work. There
is hardly such thing as getting
done working the garden.
Our garden is naturally good soil,
| being a black loan, fully twenty in
ches deep, with a slight southern
slope just sufficient to give it good
drainage. 1t is low land conse-
quently cold and hard to got plants
started off early and mature in sea-
son. We have gotten great relief
in this respect by the liberal use OF
phosphoric acid.-C. C. Conger, in

new POST OFFICE VISITED
BY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE
Business Transferred From Old Office
This Morning without Il Hitch
Years.

! The new Federal PostolIice Build
ing, recently completed in this city,
was thrown open to the public last
Saturday afternoon and night, and a
conservative estimate of the number
of persons who visited the building
/ during the afternoon and evening
would be close tc one thousand. and
everyone of them was delighted with
it; that is, ninety-nine per cent. OF
them were, for, of course, there were
one or two who could have improv-
ed upon it, but their number was so
small that no one knew they were
around, and, in fact, without a few
such the occasion would not have
been complete.
In tomorrow's issue of this paper
will appear complete description of
the new building, with an account of
the efforts put forth to secure the
same.

.RUMORS UNFOUNDED
DECLARES PETIT US
Public Asked to Discredit
Exaggerated Reports of
Alleged Arrests

The public is urged to frefrain from
alleged arrests and procedures in profit
eering cases by Erie Pettus, United
States district attorney, in a statement
made yesterday afternoon. The rumors
are unfounded, declared Mr. Pettus and
hinder the department of justice in its
work Mr.. Pettus' statement was as fol-
lows:
"A number of wild rumors in regard
to alleged arrests and procedure in
profiteering cases have become current.
Unfounded reports of this character are
widely circulated and apparently gain
in volume with each repetition. Such re-
marks are liable to do great injustice
to legitimate business.
Whenever any arrest is made in the
profiteering and food investigation COM
paign ii will be a matter of public rec
orc and official information will not be
wanting.
The people are urged to refrain from
repetition of unfounded and exaggerated
reports which do not bear the stamp of
official announcement. Wild rumors be-
ing circulated over the district have a
partment Of justice in the campaign that
they are making. The public may rest
assured that the fullest investigation. pos
sble under the law will be made and
that where the law has been violated
prosecutions will follow.
I'm the meantime it is we'll to remem-
Der that conditions are abnormal, and
that the cost of living is necessarily
higher now than it was before the war.
1t is the purpose of the government to
prevent the cost being boosted higher by
profiteers and by the creation of an
artificial scarcity of necessaries."
