CHRISTMAS CLUB
MEMBERS To GET
NEARLY $125,0OO

Little squeals of delight will be
heard all over Augusta and vicinity
this morning when the first mail is
delivered.
For 2.340 men, women and children
will receive their Christmas club
checks from the State Trust Co.
The folks have been loking forward
to the time when these checks would
go out. They We're placed in the mail
Tuesday afternoon and will, of course
be received Wednesday morning.
The total amount of the checks is
close to $125,000, the largest sum in
the history of the enterprise at the
State Trust Co.
Members of the Christmas club
treat their checks just as cash. They
buy their Christmas presents with
them, pay taxes, coal bills, doctors
bills. But the money is put right in
to circulation and this year. as has
not happened so markedly in other
seasons. it will have particularly
stimulating effect on business in Au-
gusta. 1t is safe to say that Water
street will be damned with shoppers
from now on.
1t is interesting to note the changes
that have taken place in the size Of
the Christmas club since it was
started in 1913 by the State Trust Co.
That year there We're 2s5 members
and the money paid out was only
$GSS3. From that time until the
present, with the exception of the
days of the war, there has bene a
steady growth each year. The figures
for 1923 show n membership of 2340
and Il value of the memberships as
nearly SI125,000. OF this sum, fully
one thousand dollars is interest on
the money paid by members.

Law Court Rescript
in Lincoln County
Trust Co. Case

The law court in a rescript hand
ed down Tuesday in the case of Fred
+. Lawrence, bank commissioners, VS..
the Lincoln County Trust Company,
declares that when under Chapter So
of the Revised Statutes, depositors'
notes are segregated to secure a
savings account the deposit cannot
be set off against such segregated
notes.
GAS a general rule, a depositor in a
bank who is indebted to the bank is
entitled to set off the amount to his
credit against his Indebtedness even
though the bank is insolvent," says
Associate Justice LLere B. Deasy Of
Bar Harbor in the rescript.>
1.-THE bank holds such segregated
notes in trust to secure the savings
account. Its liability to depositors Is
not as such trustee. Hence the right
of set off does not, apply. Neither
does the right Of set off apply in case
of deposit marked special and in
tended by the depositor to be used in
payment of such note, even though
such intention be known to the
treasurer of the~bank, provided that
the deposit remains under the eXclu-
sive' control of the depositor and
subject to withdrawal by him.
"a vote authorized the segregation
of notes as provided by statute. the
segregated notes were not stamped.
No record was made to any so called
investment book. The daily balance
ledger was, however adopted as an
investment book by stamping upon
it the words segregated for savings
acct and bracketing after these
words on each page certain listed as
sets, including notes.
"The court does not approve the
procedure adoptedS but holds that it
is not so defective as to defeat the
purpose of the legislature and the in
tention of the bank to provide secur-
ity for all savings depositors.

ADVERTISING HELPS CREDIT

There Is one way by which a
business mans credit is improv-
ed. and that is by policy of con
sistent advertising. Bank men
believe iii advertising, for they
know it pays. Their feeling.
therefore. usually is that when a
merchant who is good adver-
tiset applies for a loan, that a
reasonable amount of goods,
bought by him on credit, is like
ly to be turhed over quickly and
promptly paid for. on account of
his methods of keeping his goods
constantly before the public.
Discriminating buyers of every
class know that they can get
fresh goods from the store that
advertises. The merchant who
adyertises seldom has shop-worn
goods. And in that way adver-
tising helps the merchants credit
not only with the banks but with
his customers. And one is lust
as important as the other.
