two does. The buck died two years
ago and since then it had been inn
possible to capture a good specimen
Of a buck deer alive. The deer which
died this week was a fine one.

Investment Bonds

In last advertisement we spoke Of Loans and Dis
counts In this shall describe the other principal
classes of Assets, namely, Investment Bonds
While money loaned at home in the form of notes in
wolves considerable degree of judgment and knowledge OF
local conditions the investment Of the banks funds in bonds
requires special knowledge Of conditions in and
finance the country
Space will not permit general discussion Of Invest
ment Bonds but it be said that the three fundamental
requisites of every bond Of their import
safety, marketability and yield.
Financial usage has cassed bonds Government, Mu-
ncpal and Corporation bonds Government bonds or
nariy divided into domestic and foreign Government
sues; Municipal bonds into State County Town or City
bonds; Corporation bonds into railroad industrial and pub
lie service bonds
These different classes of bonds vary greatly respect
the three fundamental requisites mentioned above and
determine what particular bonds may be safely purchased
with bank funds requires great amount Of study.
We find that people often get confused when discussing
the relation Of holder and stakeholder bond
holder creditor but stakeholder simply partner in
the business and his financial interests subject to the
incidental risks Of the business Right here it might be well
state that this bank purchased for its account
any stock either preferred of any kind whatever
We carry approximately million dollars in high grade
Investment Bonds considerable part OF this amount
having been purchased during the three
at time bond prices the lowest in two decades
high point the bond cycle having been reached from
1905 Instead of buying the high rate caable bonds
which have been currently offered with very
tive interest return have purchased long time underly
ing low issues, thus safeguarding earnings over
long period Of time Recent movements IN the bond market
have amply justified the wisdom of this action
We will gladly discuss at any time matters Of invest
and will be very glad to give interested parties the
benefit of our advice along these lines
When people deposit money in the Peoples National
Bank they told that they withdraw their funds
time they There is fiction about this statement
and in make it truthful it is for
to keep our liquid This the why carry

IN THE SCHOOLS OF BRIDGEPORT
DEBATING 6 CLUB ARRANCES MATCH
 WITH BRASS TOWN

The local High school debating team will cross swords for their first clash this season with an out-of-town team. Crosby High of Waterbury, has signified it's willingness to engage the Br- dgeporters in an argument. There will be two debates held the same evening as is the custom. While the Crosby team is entertaining the Bridgeporters in the Brass City, the Hilltop argufyers will be preaching their question to an audience in the auditorium of the local school
 Crosby has always given Brid geport plenty of opposition on the gridiron and diamond. If the debating team of that school is as efficient in it's line as the teams of the Waterbury institution, the local debaters will have to muster all it's resources for the conflict Of words.
 Shades of Cicero
 Since the coming of Mrs. Sara sherman Pryor, the High school has been well represented in the deibat- ing field. Under Mrs. Pryor's tutilage the most self-conscious students learns rapidly the knack Of appear ing in public on the rostrum. This in addition to the preliminary work of preparing the argument. High school students are planning to back their debaters in a body during the coming match and are confident of the ability of their takers to with stand the verbal onslaughts of the Waterburians.

Owners of w. s. S.
 Asked Not to Cash

The Federal Government requests school pupils to convert their redeem ale War Savings stamps into other certificates In a letter to the Super intendant of schools of this city, F. C. Ayres, Director of Saving Division |. s. Treasury Department, empha- SiSes to value of transferring Stam 0s which are now due into some other form of government saving cartifi- cate. Instructions are contained in the letter which explain methods of redeeming War Stamps.
 During the days of the World War the students of the high school sub scribed heavily to w s. s. as they were called. The desire to aid the government became so intense that session rooms of fifty students would vie with each other for the honor of purchasing the largest amount of stamps each week. Several thousands of dollars were converted into govern ment treasury coffers via this metho cd. Bridgeport high school during the war held a record for War Saving sta mps purchases.
 The U. s. Treasury Department is offering a refunding proposition in the form of Treasury Savings Certifi- cates which will mature in i've years time, paying 4 per cent compounded semi-annually in the interim. and it is desirable to renew these indiVi iUal loans to the Government so as tomin- imize the present cash outlay.

KICK REGISTERED BY TYRUS COBB
 IN HIT WRANGLE

Augusta, Ga, Dec. 9.-Ty Cobb in a statement on the disputed hi' in a game at New York last May, which has just been awarded him by Pres ident Ban Johnson of the American League, declared that ''the several baseball writers who have so inter es,ed themselves in the disputed hit also should turn their attention to what happened on my last trip to New York in the 1921 season"
 Let them tell me and the public why it was three safe hits were taken from me during that series and two times at bat added" he said. 'I would also like an explanation as to why the official score in the dis puted hit game of last May was not authenticated" he continued.
 Cobb declared ths is the first time he has had anything to say regard ing the scoring at New York during the last series with Detroit in 1921. "I have tried to let it pass by,'' he stated, but since they are raising such a commotion in New York over the disputed hit, let them investigate this matter also.
 "Of course the public understands that I had nothing to do with Pres ident Johnson awarding me the hit in question" he concluded but since the aforementioned baseball writers are reported to have threatened to protest this action, I would like for the scoring in hat last series at New ! York in 1921 to be cleared up.''

HIGH SCHOOL 'B" CLUB SEEKS AID OF
 "SHARKS"FOR FAILING ATHLETES
Letter -Men's Organization Will Enlist Aid of Class
 Geniouses in Cause of Ineligible Athletic Stars

The B club, an organization of High school students, have formulated plans whereby ath- letes who are low in certain studies and are consequently afflicted with ineligibility, may be tutored in the weak subjects by other students, who have pronounced ability in mathe- matics, Midaeval history, chem .istry, etc.
 The ''B" club of the high school is with a motive and a mission Not every garden variety of high sch ool student may belong to the 'B" club. Re or she must be possessed of the necessary charm or amulet to enter US sacred portals.
 The mystic emblem which admits the student into the inner circle of the ''B'' club is nothing less than the coveted letter awarde ed high school students whose participation in ath- letic games has been untra-fine and par-eXcellence. In order to belong 10 the 'B'' club one must wear am m zlazoned upon sweater and cloak the cardinal letter B. This B stands for Bridgeport High School.
 It stands for more than this how ever, now that the letter mems clup 
 To Aid Athletes
 The primary active behind the orig fnal club was to paid athletes in their moments of scholastic distress which are ever frequent, worse luck. Al though the "B" club has been in eX- istence since 1918 it's real mission while conceived at that time, was not put into actual practice
 It remained for the members Of the club newly formed during November to map out a comprehenslve pan toward the end of aiding faltering
 Now it seems that the eligibility rules, and strict they are. have a most distressing faculty of disqualify1ng star athletes at the moment when the1r services are most needed to the sue cess of their teams. If the player Keeps not up to snuff in his studies, every one. he is promptly nouned InaL tt1e el. team will be without his company TOT q neriod of from one to two weeks.
 Athletes are only human, so they sav and are just as liable to Tall py the wayside as the next man. anu more so.
 The ordinary student who seeks not the paths that lead to glory wa grlo- iron, diamond and tennis court IS prl- yileged to devote his entire tune to his studies. The athlete, on the other hand. not only is required to maln. tain a passing mark in hVe nara, I hdI subjects, but upon his stalwart shou!, ders the burden of winning AoolDhAi and baseball games rests
 once upon a time, oh, long tune ae0 these eligibility rules which now function to the letter were winked at. The teachers seemed intent upon oo- serving the rules to the limit put when the day of a big game aP- nroached it was a, stony hearted pega- rogue indeed who would rule boy fneligible. Nowadays things have changed. The students complain that a+bia7ics have been relegated to a seat in the rear. Teams appear represent

SCHOOL CHIL DREN
 TO FIGHT FOREST FIRES OVER NATION

Washington, Dec. 9-An army of 22,00O,0OO school children in the United states to combat ''the national enemy the forest fire, will be re- cruited by Chief Forester William B. Greeley of the Forest Service, United States Department of Agriculture
 Greeley said that he had written the State Superintend entS of schools call ing attention to the danger from the dry condition of the forest and wood lands at this time of year and seek ing to bring before the children the need of care with fire.
 Forest fires, Greeley declared, ex- act an appalling toll of property dam age in the United States each year He. estimated that 33,O00 forest fires occur annually, more than 60 per cent of which 'tare caused by human care lessn eSS.''
 Each year." he said, these fires burn over 7,50O,00O acres, an area greater than Massachusetts, Connecti- cut, New Hampshire and RhoIe Island combined. Seventeen million dollars of our cOuntry's wealth is each year reduced to smoke and gray ashes.
 Can we not" Greeley asked in his letter to the superintendents, ''enlIst the school children of the country there are twenty-two million Of them in ineffective array to fight a na- tional foe that revages the land before our eyes?

ing the high school which are not representative of the school. That is to say, they are not representative of the best the school has to offer in sports
 It is discouraging to the students, if not to the teachers, to find their team always missing on two or three cylinders.
 It is with the end in view of era dicating this difficulty that the "B'' club was organized this year Under the leadership of George Lee, presf- dent; Florence Evans, vice-president; Ray Whalen, secretary, and Francis Carroll, treasurer, the following plans will be put into operation.
 First off, the geniouses of the school will ge segregated into a group. Every student with a pronounced ability for math, or history, or languages will be enlisted to tutor athletes in subjects which they are weak in- The sharks" will drill the ineligible ones in studies which have hithertoO been source of misery With the dark made light. player will be priviladged to take his place again on the teams to win new laurels for B. H. s.
 Principal Moore is of the belief that the plan of the "B' club when they function smoothly will do won ders for the teams. The teachers are so overb ourdened with work due to the crowded conditions that they are unable to give a great deal of spare time to helping backward stu dents in their studies.
 All, students end teachers alike, will benefit by the efforts of the club to tutor faltering boys. The tutOred will stand once again shoulder to shoulder with their mates on the field of battle the high school will pre- sent it's strongest front to the fray The tutors will reap a harvest of grati- tude, and the satisfaction of percetv- ing their abilities put to excellent ad- vantage. The student body in general will take increasing enjoyment out of athletic contests conscious that their school is arraying her best bets in combat. And the boys who play the games, they will benefit most of all, since they are the ones &most con- cerned.
 When Fred Hunt, once the best coach Brid geport ever had, establish ed his "B' club he had in mind the plan which is now being carefully worked out. Then. as now, the ath letes were aided, but by teachers rather than by the students. Aqua" Waters, Colby man, was the first president of the "B'' club, which in cluded in it's roster Ed Hickey. Ching Fammil1, Joe Murphy, Notre Dame man, Jack Maher, and a host of others, who have gained fame in ath- letics at the big universities.
