DON'T TRUST THE SOCK

There are still many people
around Malad who put their money
away In an old sock or the sugar
bowl, and refuse to trust it to
Uncle Sam or a good, solid bank
ing institution. We read recently
where man had lost his straw
hat--and SIS stored away inside
the hat-band. Another man gave
bOotblack pair of shoes to shine
land too late remembered that he
had stuffed $4,000 in the toes of
the shoes for safe-keeping. And
every day we read of money stolen
from it's hiding place under the rug
or mattress--the first place bur-
glar looks for valuables. But some
people simply can not profit by,
these examples; they can't bring
themselves to realize that nothing
in all the world is as safe and Sc
cure as Liberty bonds and war say
fngs stamps, and that bank failures
are almost unheard of in this cOun-
try anymore. We're sorry for
these kind of people--the kind who
are afraid to trust their fellow
men. We are sorry for anyone
who loses sleep-and the man who
can't trust his money into the keep
ing of others usually loses more or
less sleep for fear someone will
walk away with the sugar bowl or
the sock.

tion by the government in the event
that none Of the proposals received
Ais found acceptable to the depart
ment or to Congress.
IL The visit of Henry Ford, sched-
a uled for the latter part Of this
week, it was said, probably would
lead Secretary Weeks to take def
mite action at an early date on the
1 proposal submitted by the Detroit
manufacturer. Whether the Secre-
tary would decide to recommend it's
acceptance by Congress or satisfy
himself with submitting report
to that body merely reciting the
facts of the case, and leaving Con-
gress to decide for itself on the
part of acceptance or rejection, was
said to depend largely upon the
answers Mr.. Ford would give to the
questions Mr.. Weeks will ask him.
QUESTIONABLE Reading

pared QUESTIONABLE which, in the
opinion Of some officials, will lead
to quick action by the Secretary
when Mr.. Ford arrives. The ques-
tions are declared as being pre-
sented with the intention of bring
ing the negotiations to an end and
designed to bring the parties con-
cerned to through understand

of North Caroline, was Informed
today that Mr.. Weeks would con-
fer with frederick Engstrum, presi-
dent Of the Newport Shipping
Building Company, of Wilmington,
N. c., as soon as the approach
ing conferences with Mr.. Ford were
concluded. Mr.. Butler also pre-
sented a letter to the Secretary by
which Mr.. Engstrum formally
agreed to lease and operate the
Muscle Shoals plants for the man

under the proposal submitted by
his company. Their construction
part Of the proposal made by Mr..
Engstrum, he said, was incidental
