$3.50, 100000 during the last fiscal
year for which reports are now
available. The number Of de-
positors Increased nearly S per
cent during the same time. There
was an increase Of approximately
80 per cent in the number Of de-
positors in school savings banks,
thus showing the possibilities for
thrift educational progress In the
schools Of our country.
There is an average OF more
than one savings account to every
family in this country. in addition
to which there are in round num-
bers 5.000,00 members Of building
and loan associations. There are
millions more who are buying
homes. investments, life insurance.
and farms.
1t would seem reasonably safe
to estimate that one-half Of the
people OF our country are today
adhering to some substantial plan
Of systematic thrift practice, We
are fast becoming world leaders in
thrift.
Perhaps the most encouraging
development is the prograss being
made among school children. The
boy saving his pennies in the
school savings bank today is the
thrifty, prosperous. progressive
citizen OF tomorrow.
Thrift does not by any means
consist entirely Of saving money.
but the steady increase in the
ranks of the nations savers is a
dependable manifestation of thrift
progress.
No more profound assurance OF
the continued progress OF our
nation and the preservation of the
present admirable social order
could be vouchsafed than the wide.
spread gains in thrift practice here
alluded to.

that even eight consecutive dots

Stripping, Steamer
City Of ROckland

Bath, Sept THE real reason why
no attempt is being made to salvage
the steamship City of Rockland. which
went ashore on Dix Island reef last
Saturday night, is because it is said
that the cost of salvage operations
and the subsequent rebuilding of the
craft would cost more than a new boat
and it is cheaper to let the craft break
up where she is than attempt such
thing.
So the steamer is being stripped as
fast as possible of everything NOV
able. The steamer Wiwurna with a
lighter is on. the job, bringing up a
big load of furniture bedding. etc.

morning after other things movable

the City of Rockland will have little

England Completes with Boston

England Completes with Boston
I'm going to take Mary to London
And think she will surely agree
When l tell her my reason for
choosing
A home for her over the sea.
A fiat that is furnished and roomy
Such as here costs a fortune or
more,
Can be had in an up-to date Sec
ton
For the sum of a mere eighty
four!
Dashed if our Boston landlords are
mt being beset with competition from
their fellow landlords in England!
And the British owners of apart
ments are invading Boston with an
eye to business. The prices quoted
from London would be cause for gen.
uine alarm among local landlords if
the kindly Atlantic Ocean did not
lessen the danger Of threatened in
vasion.
Even as it is, the charm is consid-
cradle, and some lucky people spend
ing the summer in London should
profit by this ad. Read for yourself:
"Wellrfurnished fiat to let in best
residential neighborhood two double,
one single bedrooms, with dressing
rooms; three large reception rooms,
two bathrooms, large kitchen. con-
slant hot waterl available end of
March; rental $94 without or SS4
with plate and linen"
There may have been some excuse
for Mary's hesitancy If two 'unfurn-
ished rooms with bath for the same
amount as above were used as an in
ducement. But even her wariness
should succumb to the veritable
castle in comparison which is pos
trayed in the London ad. The would
be newlyweds of Boston will be re-
serving staterooms for the other side
and life like the jolly old kings. How
about it, Mary?

Economy is apparently forgotten

in many instances showed an actual

the value of the 1921 outturn when
