$68,2Sl,36l IN OUR BANKS
NEARLY HALF, OR $50, ,342, ,5SS, REPRE-
SENTS The SAVING FUND DEPOSITS.

Taking exception to the recent pub
lished statement attributed to the
/ Treasury Department, Washington,
that Delaware is seth on the list of
states and insular possessions in the
matter of thrift, as indicated by the
number of its bank accounts proper
tionate to its population. George L.
Medill, state bank commission claims
that the state would make an excel
lent showing if savings accounts
were included in the treasury's COM
pilation, in addition to accounts in
national banks. II is in their savings
accounts that the people of state
show their real thrift, Mr.. Medill con-
tends. In a written statement he
says:
"The statement of the Comptroller
of the currency, made recently that
Delaware ranked 39th in the matter
of thrift and savings was evidently
based upon figures from reports of
National Banks, which hold less than
one third of the Bank Deposits of the
state.
His statement shows about $4,000
depOsitors in Delaware, while the
number in other banking institutions
in the state is estimated at about no.
900, more than half of which are saw
ing accounts.
THE Artisans Saving Bank and the .
Wilmington Savings Fund Society of .
Wilmington together have 44.279 de- .
pOsitors.
"The total deposits in the banks of
the state, as shown by reports to the
state bank commissioners, under date
of June 80, 1920. were in round fig
ures SOS, ,2S1, ,361, of which S37,93S,773,
were commercial or checking ac-
counts aud $SO.S42,5SS. were savings
deposits.
"In addition to the bank deposits
The people own shares in building
and loan associations valued at ap-
$2,S20O00.
"These figures speak well for the
hrift and prosperity of the people of
Delaware, and if comparative figures
we're available there is no doubt but
hat Delaware would show much bet
er than the ComptrOller's statement
would Indicate"

HARRY BENNETT TAKES HIS LIFE

Harry Bennett, a young farmer, who
resided on the farm formerly owned
by the late Theo. Middleton, commit
ted suicide on Sunday by hanging. No
reason for his act is known. Mr.. Ben
nett seemed to be in good spirits
when he ate his breakfast. After the
morning meal he killed a pair of Bel
gian hares for dinner and dressed
them. He then disappeared, and a
search several hours later found him
hanging from rafter in the barn. A
coroner's jury was empaneled ON
Monday and rendered a verdict in ac-
cordance with the facts in the case.
Bennett is survived by a widow and
number of brothers and sisters. He
was son of the late Wesley Bennett

mad purchased farm from Senator

WARNING AGAINST
JAPANESE BEETLE

Members of the Delaware State
Board of Agriculture visited Riverton,
n. j., this week to secure first hand
information about the Japanese beetle.
This insect must have come over in
earth on the roots of imported plants.
For the past two years every effort
has been made by the State and Fed
eral entomologists to prevent its
spread, and it has been confined to
an area of about fifty square miles,
so far as can now be determined, not
including a small infestation that APP
parently was carried across the river
By the tide into Pennsylvania.
TIE beetle spends most of rs time
little narm. Dut in tine iaii,-. pat vi
as a grub II the ground where It does
June and during July it comes out as
a bright green beetle with rusty
brown wing covers, and feeds on the
leaves of fruit and forest trees, eats
some fruit and is especially fond of
the silk of corn. 1t is possible that
its greatest damage will be to the
last named crop, for if the silk is /
eaten, the grains of corn will not /
be pollenized and therefore, will not /
fill.
1t is difficult to kill the insect by
spraying, but investigations are in
progress to discover an effective spray
material The most hopeful thing I'M
sight is to import from Japan, insects
that will eat the pest, and parasites
that will kill it. Already a very vor-
acious beetle has been imported in
numbers and has been
in the infested area. This
beetle lives in the ground and feeds
IN the eggs and grubs of this Jap ,
lnese beetle. The hope is to keep the 5
pest confined within its present ex- :
ent that they can control it.
