27,OOO.OOO SMALL DEPOSITORS SAVE
 $1O,573,971.OOO

St. Louis, Mo.-There are 27, 900, 900 savings bank depositors in the United States, according to figures published at the convention of the American Bankers Association here. In com piling these figures dIe allowance was made for Implications. Investigation by the bankers has proved that these savings bank depositors are, with few exceptions, people of small means, but they are the people who absorbed in large measure the war issues of government securities, Thrift and War Savings Stamps, Savings Certifi- cates and Liberty Bonds AND ARE KEEPING THEM.
 Not only did they buy and hold gov ernment securities, but those invest ments led to additional savings, con- sohdated the habit of thrift and in- creased bank deposits throughout the entire nation. These 27,00O,O 900 depos- itors now own $1O,57S,971, 900 of sav- ings.
 This Is the money which has built up the railroads, municipalities homes and industries of the nation. These savings represent over twenty-six per cent of the total resources. These savers financed the war successfully, and on their continuation of the pro duction of new capital through sav- ings rests the solution for financing reconstruction and for the increase kr hn high cost of living, bankers agreed.
 The government savings securities and Liberty Bonds offer ideal means for the production of this new capital In the opinion of progressive bankers. They are adapted for investment of all sums no matter how great or small. They are the safest security possible. They are profitable and readily con- vertible into cash should necessity arise. Their purchase not only aids in financing the government, but re- leases correspondin.; capital from the banks and financial institutions for expansion of industry and develop ment of production.
 The figures compiled by the Bank ers' Association show that in the i've year period ending January 1 of this year, savings deposits in state banks increased 5947 per cent; in mutual savings banks, 12.96 per cent; in stock savings banks, 33.04 per cent; in trust, companies, 24.32 per cent, and in national banks, 118.36 per cent.

s. J. A. NOTES.

Tuesday, Armistice day, was celebrated by the Academy in grand style. We dismissed school and attended the soldiers maneu- vers and program in the morning. In the afternoon the academy basket ball team beat the town in basket ball game. Also the faculty beat the town in a tennis game.
 Wednesday morning in devo- tional. a pagaent was staged by Miss Bushman. This was very good and had been intended for presentation on Armistice day, but circumstances arose which made it impossible to have it then.
 This week is the long expected Junior week, and the juniors have a fine program planned for Fri day. Everybody come out. This will be followed in the evening by program dance, which will be the very best dance given this winter. Don't take our word for it; come out and see for your selves. Remember the date, Fri day, Nov. 21st.

IN HIGH PLACES
BY WaIt Mason.

1 have bought grand piano and a sumptuous sedan, and a lot of other doodads, on the monthly payment plan. On each thing 1 paid a dollar, and I'll pay a month ly bone, till I'm laid away and sleeping underneath a sagging stone. It is true I didn't need them, and I haven't coin to burn, but I see my neighbors blowing every kOpeck that they earn, and if they can have pianos and fine motors and such stuff, I will go as far as they do, though 1t makes the sledding tough. Every month I'll pay a dollar on the junk 1 do not need, till limp around on crutches and my whiskers go to seed; and when have crossed the river to the shining golden shore, 1 will still be owing money to the Jinx installment store. And fear the recollection will destroy my peace of mind, when 1 have harp before me and pair of wings be- hind. But my neighbors, they keep blowing every rouble, every red, and I'd be a sort of piker if let them get ahead; so I'm buying cir GUS wagons, and Pm buying costly gems, and my wife is wearing sables and has diamond diadems, and I bought the whole caboodle on the monthly payment plan, and I'm riding to the pOorhouse in a super-eight SC d an.

WORK ON LYMAN
 DAM STOPPED.

Work on the Lyman reservoir was brogght to a sudden stop yesterday morning when a tele- gram was received from Phoenix from those who have the hand ling of the financing of the pro- ject. There are various reports abroad as to the reason of the closing down, but as no one seems to know just why it was done, we will not give any one of the reasons that are going the rounds.
 Everybody is concerned about the shut down and all hoping that it will only be temporarily and that it will be only a matter of a few days before all will be nov ing along better than eyer,
 Those who had their teams at work on the dam have been noti- fled to come and get them.
 Some of the state officials were here last week looking in to affairs at the dam and there is no doubt but what the order to shut down is a result of that visit.

And n work will soon start on the cleaning of the canals leading from the Lyman reser- voir to the rich bench l. nds west of our city. The contracts wel e let last Saturday to various local parties. The following are among the successful bidders: Jacob Hamblin, Manico Garcia, Lorrin M. Farr, Grover c. Udall, John H. Udall and E. R. Dewitt. There are others, but we have beon unable to learn who they are.
 Ammon McFate and wife of Eagar, were in the city last night. They were returning from the state fair. They speak in the highest terms of the fair. MT. McFate says that the town of Edgar was the only town in Apa- che county that had it's school re- presented at the fair. This is lamentable, for in our opinion Apache county has some of the best schools in the state and it would seem that enough interest should be taken to let the rest of the state know what we have in our school system.
 School district No. II has so many students in attendance this year that they are forced to hire another teacher. We are inform ed that Prof. D. H. Sandin will take charge of the seventh grade. This makes eight teachers who are engaged in that district.
 We are informed that J. L. Danley is expecting a shipment of graded bucks within the next few days, which he will feed at the old "A ranch this winter. Heber Connolly will have charge of the ranch this winter and will move there in few days.

Morgan City Editor
 Albuquerque Journal.

The Holbrook Tribune is in re- ceipt of a letter from Harold Nor gan, who had charge of the local news department of this paper for some time. Mr. Morgan left here month or so ago to seek a larger field for the exercise of his newspaper ability. He states in his letter that he is now city edi- tor of the Albuquerque Morning Journal, upon which duties he started last week at a salary of $35 per week. Since that time his salary has been increased, which proves that he is making good.
 Harold is bright young man, and we feel that he is certain to make his mark in journalism, and if the we'll wishes of the Holbrook Tribune are of any advantage to him he is certainly welcome to them. We feel all the better sat isfied that as he graduated from the Tribune office we were more or less responsible for his advance  ment, and from that vantage we congratulate him.
 Mrs. Harold Morgan arrived in Holbrook Thursday evening from St. Johns, accompanied by her brother-in-law, M. c. Morgan, of Hunt, and left the next day with the little family to join the hus- band and father in their new home at Albuquerque. Success to them. -Holbrook Tribune.
