VERY LATEST WORD IN
VAULT CONSTRUCTION
System Installed in New Building
of Savings Fund Society IS
Best Possible.

Tho highest development OF modern
ingenuity in vault design construction
viii he the feature Of tho new Whining
ton Savings Fund Society bank, now
nearing completion. at Ninth and Mar
ket streets. The vault system installed
in the building represents the highest
mea sures Of protection. according to
Hoggson brothers. the builders
The main security vault is protected
during the day hy a grille and day
gate. which guard the vault when the
door Is opened. All sides of the vault
arc lined with half-iuch f've-rly welded
chrome steel platoe Where the plates
ahut. they are protected with open
hearth steel batten bars. four inches
wide and one half inch thick. The door
is 10 inches thick and So inches in
diameter on it's outer face.
Very latest Word in
In the construction Of the vaults
special attention has been devoted to
measures Of protection from burglary
a non n-huruable metal makes up the
seventh layer Of the great vault door
This is two inches thick. and has been
nerfected hy tho manufactures after
exhaustive experiments and tests. II
iS guaranteed TO successfully resist at
tack bv means Of oxy-acetylCne torch
or burner. The use OF this metal III
conjunction with the flve-ply welded
chrome steel assures the maximum
protection against any known means OF
burglary.
The vault is perhaps that part Of
the banks equipment with which the
public is most concerned and one which
il sees the least OF, vet IL represents
the very essence Of the banking bust
ness. This modern vault in the VIII

RELIEF FOR CATTLE
 MEN USING THE
 NATIONAL FOREST

Announcement has been made by the Arizona Cattle Growers Associa- tion of further relief that will be granted in meritorious cases of those users of the National Forests who have been unable to pay their graz ing fees on December 1st, the time limit heretofore set by Congressional legislation. Too many of the cattle men of Arizona who graze their stock on the National Forests it has been impossible, in view of their de- plorable condition from drought and lack of market, to pay the fees which were first due last April, and through the efforts of the Cattlemen's Asso- citation the time of payment was post poned twice, finally to December 1st. The first of December found many of them a greater inability to meet this obligation, and the Association has been endeavoring either to have the time of payment again postponed or to avoid the penalties regularly enacted by reason of non-payment.
 In telegraphc information just re- ceived from Senator Ashurst, it is stated that Senator Ashurst, Repre- sentative Hayden, Governor Thomas F. Campbell and MT. Dwight B. Heard had an extended interview with Secretary of Agriculture on this mat ter, pointing out that many honest, industrious cattlemen in Arizona, through no fault of their own, were not in position to pay these fees at this time and unless the fees were extended, these men would be ruined.
 Rather than enacting further legis- lation in this matter the Secretary of Agriculture has kindly issued instruc- tions to the various Forest Super visors, directing them to accept prom issory notes from these permittees on the Forests who have been unable to pay the grazing fees, in all cases where the good faith of the permittees was evident.
 The Arizona Cattle Growers As- sociation requests interested cattle men to make tender of their notes to the Forest Supervisors, and failing to secure proper recognition, to take the matter up with the Associations of- | fees at Phoenix.

NEW ISSUE TREASURY
 SAVINGS CERTIFICATES

San Francisco, December 15.-The United States Treasury Department announced today an increase in the interest rate on Treasury Savings Certificates to AZ per cent. The higher rate goes into effect on the 1922 issue of the certificates which, however, went on sale today to ac- comodate the increasing number of persons who buy the securities for Christmas presents.
 Increase of the interest rate on this class of government securities means that Uncle Sam will really sell $25 certificates for $20; $100 certificates for $SO, and 5000 certificates for $500, provided the purchaser or re- cipient holds the security to its five year maturity date. Another feature of the new certificates is the fact that individuals and corporations will be permitted to purchase and own as high as $5000 worth of the securities by virtue of recently enacted legisla- tion. The previous limit was 5000 and the former interest date per cent.
 The Treasury will concentrate on the new securities eliminating the twenty five cent thrift stamp and the $5 war savings stamp after December 31, 1921. Sale of the $1 treasury sav- ings stamp will be continued to pro- vide an easy method of regular sav- ing for conversion into Treasury Say ings Certificates.
 New regulations provide also that postal savings may likewise be con- verted into Treasury Savings Certifi- cates under a combined plan of sales between the Treasury and the Post Office Departments. The new certif- icates will be on sale at all post of flee sand banks and through other authorized agencies. The certificates offer ideal investment opportunities up to $500O, as they are exempt
