FINANCIAL REVIEW.

The important incidents in the finan-
cial situation today were the British
acceptance of the American terms for
funding the war debt, the continued
pressure against French exchange which
carried rates almost down TO their rec
ord low of November. 1920. and on the
other hand an abrupt recovery of some
of the ground lost during the past week
in the French dollar loans.
II was hard to trace any effect OF
the debt settlement upon the markets
Of the day, outside of a moderate rise
in sterling exchange and an accompany
ing advance in British government
bonds. The payments are strung out
over such a long period that they can
hardly be much of factor in reducing
the tax burdens in this country. The
main value of the agreement is chiefly
that il binds the United States and
Great Britain together more closely MS
the ranking financial powers Of the
world and as il provides the final neces-
sary assurance that the BritainS are
firmly on their feet. ?
The conflicting moves Of France and
French bonds left the question open as
TO which was the more significant.
Francs recovered in the afternoon quite
apart of the early loss, but in the
meantime the fact had been established
that French credit, as gagged by the
value Of French currency was rated in
the international money market at vir-
tually the lowest in all time. The
movement Of francs. reflecting as II
does the operations of all nations is a
much more reliable guide 10 banking
judgment than are the fluctuations Of
French bonds which are deal in only
in New York and the market for which
is not difficult to control.

ALAMO NATIONAL BANK
WILL OPEN A SAYINGS
DEPARTMENT FEB. S
Will Pay A Per Cent on
Time De-
posts.

At the urgent request of hundreds of
its depositors and in the interest of
the thrift movement which is sweeping
the country, the Alamo National Bank,
on February 5, will establish savings
department, it was announced by Err
nest l.. Brown, active vice president,
Wednesday. Donald d. James will be
placed in charge of the new department
and depositors will be paid 4 per cent
on their savings.
Although the Alamo National, one OF
the largest banking institutions in the
city, was organized in 1890, this is the
first time that it has undertaken to
handle savings accounts. The officers
and stockholders, however, Mr.. Brown
said, after repeated requests from de-
positors, decided that the new depart
ment should be added.
The savings department, Mr.. Brown
said, will be conducted as a part of the
business of the bank and under the
Alamo National Banks charter De-
posts ranging from 81 upward will be
accepted.
Mr.. Brown, as well as the other Of
ficers and stockholders of the bank, are
strong advocates of thrift and believe
that the establishment Of this savings
department will do much TO promote
thrift in San Antonio.
Many of our customers, large and
small" Mr.. Brown said, have often
urged us TO open this department. They
often came to us for advice as to what
savings bank they should patronize so
we finally decided to accommodate them
at our own bank.
"It is very much to the interest of
industrial and mechanical establish
ments," Mr.. Brown said, Ito have their
workers consistent savers of money.
The who're story of the thrift movement
in the United States points out one
very convincing moral and that is that
production efficiency is greatly in
creased when the employees are known
TO be men and women who save their
money with the hope of owning their
own home or of educating their chill
dren."
The Alamo National. Mr.. Brown
pointed out, although considered con-
servative, is always progressive and al
ways glad TO finance any business of
merit" San Antonio's interests also
are uppermost in the minds of its Of
ficers.
Mr.. Brown pointed to the rapid
growth Of the bank as an indication of
its conservatism and progressiveness.
Starting in 1890 with an original cap
itaIization of $250,000, it was doubled
in 1907 and again in 1921 when the
capital reached a total of $500,O0O. j.
y. Brown, who founded bank at
BRENNAN, Tex, organized the Alamo
National and was its president when
he died several months ago.

QUEER TESTIMONY
TO ESTABLISH USE
OF WORD "ORIGAN''
Old Literature, Dictionary
and Druggist Tell
of Perfumes.

New York. Jan. 31.-"The Arabian
Nights Tales" and Spencer's "Faerlt
Oueene." were invoked as authorities
along with a dictionary and a broad
way druggist. in a federal court suit
which will determine whether American
women may have their choice OF mans
"origan" perfumes, or must contlhue
TO rely on Francois Joseph de Spoturho
Coty for that brand.

(3) Affidavit by Frank kalen:
Broadway druggist and puryeyor of
perfumes and cosmetics to theatrical
beauties. who declared that many
brands of "origan" perfume were made
in France, and that Travelled actresses
know definitely what brand of COS
metics and perfumes they desire and
that in asking for organ perfume, they
usually mention the name of the manu-
facturer whose particular brand they
wish" He added that he had calls for
several brands besides NJ. Coty's.
Counsel for NJ. Coty argued, among
other things, that there really wasn't
any "origan" other than Coty's organ
brand. Organ, he said, had little value
in making fine perfumes and it was
more commonly used lin flayOring
meats, such as sausages."

THE CHARM
BY BERTON BRALEY

THERE'S lots of things love her for
her slenderness and grace
~ The Joy that dances in her eyes, the
beauty of her facet
The lips that are so soft to kiss, the voice
1 like to hear;
She has a myriad wtcheries that make
her sweet and dear,
But more, I think than any other charm
of hers l pride,
The little laughing wrinkles in the cor
ners of her eyes!
They won me from the very first, they'll
hold me to the last.
A happy wholesome magic with lure
that binds me fast.
And by the gods of cheerfulness and gay,
warm-hearted mirth
I'll strive to bring her happiness for all
that / am worth;
I'll try to keep, with all the skill a lover
can devise,
Those little laughing wrinkles at the cor
ners of her eyes.
Together we will laugh through life, and
bravely as can be
Well chuckIe in the face Of fate and grin
at destiny,
Endeavoring to make the world perhaps
a little bit
More frolicsome and SUMMER because we've
lived in it,
And all of our poster1ty will have, so
surmise,
Those little laughing wrinkles in the cor
ners of their eyes!

" ORESTRY is one thing that agriculture
n is dependant on. We all depend upon
agriculture, of course, but how many
crops can be raised on a desert? Someone
has said that "a treeless American would be
a. desert America and we may as well real
ize that in some sections of Georgia the port
able saWmills are making final drive on the
remaining stands of timber now and agricul-
ture is being affected never before. The
false notion of killing the boil weevil in its
winter quarters by burning over woodlands
on the farm should be dispelled by this time,
since the fact has been established that from
95 to 100 per cent of the alternating boil
weevil lives through the winter and comes
out ready for business in the spring, anyway,
in spite of all this burning in the woods, but
what does it mean to agriculture when Z00
sawmills are now running in one county in
middle Georgia? Are the farmers themselves
making back any of the money which the
boil weevil has robbed them of? And If the
farmers are making anything at all while
saving up tI1ier capital stock Of timber today,
what about tomorrow?
While in conversation with an agricultural
leader from Dublin, Ga, few days ago, L
was glad to hear him say: eve are spending
great deal of time in farmers conferences
discussing agricultural plans and methods
that could wait if we would only reduce cot
ton acreage and plant more feed crops, but
we are making the greatest mistake in the
world here in Georgia by not giving more at
tention to forestry and planning for future
timber supplies"
am an advocate of the now famous "Tur
ner County plan" and [ believe that George
Belts and his associates in Turner county are
setting an example which will largely solve
our AGRICULTURAL problems in Georgia. But we
have more land cleared in Georgia today than
we need for agriculture, any way, and if the
cotton farmer should reduce his cotton acre
age down to six acres to the plow the average
farm would still have more cleared land on it
than is needed for feed crops and pasture.
There are. idle acres and waste land on Drac-
ticalIy every farm in Georgia which can grow
trees better than any other crop, and one of
the biggest assets on any farm is the woodlot
and timbered lands when properly managed.

Raise Sheet, Georgia

~ EORGIA may well ponder the import of
the news from the national department
of agriculture that during the last ten
years the number of sheep in the United
States decreased from fifty-three million six
hundred and thirty-three thousand to thirty
six million forty-eight thousand.
This means, of course, a corresponding de-
cline in the production of American wool and
mutton; an increase in prices, particularly
for the former; and large gap, for years to
come, between supply and demand. The op-
portunities which the situation affords state
whose natural resources for sheep raising are
as abundant as >Georgias can hardly be over
gagged. All parts of this commonwealth, but
more especially the hill and mountain regions,
are said by authorities on animal husbandry
to b. excellently suited to pastoral indus
tries Millions of acres of land not used for
agriculture nor for any other productive pur-
pose could be made to yield goodly and ever
increasing returns as sheep ranges.
Unfortunately, however, there has been a
decrease in Georgia, as in the country at
large, in the number of sheep raised; while
the portion of the state best adapted to the
industry-the central and northern sections
has been most backward in developing it
Surely the time for a more enterprising and
more proRtabIe policy is at hand .-..az..
