MORE o SAVINGS.

That approximately onc-iourth Of the entire population Of
the United States have savings accounts OF some kind, is one OF
the important facts brought out in a communication to the Daily
Express from M. A.. Wylie. secretary OF the Chckasha Building
* Loan association. Mr.. Wiley was moved TO write by an article
in this column a few days ago, giving a summary OF savings in
the banks Of the United States. which, he says, is interesting
when given a little thought" lie writes as follows:
"This report is compiled by the Savings Bank Division of the
American Bankers association and declares that the figures given
do not include some states nor does it include building and loan
associations in the United States.
IT'S report shows a total OF 26637S3l different savings a-
counts amounting TO $l66lSrs95O0 or an average of $632S5 for
each individual account.
have before me the report as OF January | this year showing
some interesting facts about building and loan associations IN the
United States. This report is compiled from the reports under
oath TO the state supervisors OF the different states, and taDuiated
by The American Building Association News.
"There are in the United States 9255 building and loan asso-
Citations. They have a membership Of 5,SU,SSS persons. They
have cash investment of $2S90764y@l or an average OF S4T.8
belonging to each person.
"The banks and building and loan associations have a total
number OF 324477l9 savings accounts and have the stupendous
total of $19,50o,35962l belonging to these savers. The average is
a little more than $500 each, yet the total makes a fund OF riches
beyond the power of mind to grasp.
There are two facts worth while in these figures. One il.
that not all of our people are borrowings and spending mad, as be-
lieved by some calamity howlers. The other truth is that the
wealth of this country is not in the hand of a few plutocrats who
will soon own everything as preached by another group OF persons
who can see no color but blue

WHY FIT. SCOTT PRosPERs.

The soldiers in the near southwest during the Civil War used
to say that the birthstone pit was "a mile and a half on the other
side of Fort Scott" Fort Scott, as you may or may not happen
to know, is an enterprisng and lovely little city on the eastern
border Of Kansas. 1t used to be a border town, but now it is a
dairy town, therefore, is far, far removed from the internal regions.
George Marble, veteran editor of the Fort Scott Tribune Monitor
told the story of his town and its transition to the journalists Of
Missouri at Columbia recently, while advising them to boost their
fundamental industry, which in most cases, he declared, they would
find to be agriculture. Fort Scott, it seems, had Impoverished
itself paying bonuses to manufacturing concerns whose smoke
stacks were idle" The community was in hard lines. Then Fort
Scott saw the light, and began to boost its agricultural posibii-
ties, with special attention to dairying. Milk produced in the
territory now brings in more than $1,000 a day to the local con-
densories it is said, and the community is prosperous. There are
thousands of towns that might take this lesson to heart, and in
crease wealth and population by helping develop the agricultural
get the highest price the market will stand for all the products
they offer for sae-Blackwell Tribune.

The Lawton Rotary club held an interesting session recently
when city officers were invited to appear and tell how the MUM
cpal government is administered, what it costs, how the money
IS spent, its failures successes, etc. The information that was
brought was published in the local papers and nc doubt it lead
to a better understanding between the city officials and the PEG
pie, and thereby Rotary rendered a valuable service to the COM
munity. Despite the fact that the business of a city is everybody's
business, concerning the pocketbook Of every taxpayer, few peo-
pie take the trouble to learn how it is conducted. This condition
works to the disadvantage of both the people and their public
servants. Without cooperation on the part of the public. the
municipal government cannot be operated as efficiently as it should
be, and there cannot be the right sort of cooperation without
intimate knowledge. This merely means that the taxpayers would
get more Tor their money if they would take more interest in their
own business. In most cities, the officers are trying their best to
render faithful, efficient service, but the ir efforts are little under
stood and less appreciated. Such a meeting as the Rotarians AZ
Lawton held would be beneficial to any community.

several things. 1t seems to imply that Oscar knows someth;no
