AMERICANS SHOW
INCREASED THRIFT
5 Federal Reserve Board Re-
ports Gross Gain OF
100000.

The Federal Reserve Board has made
public report on the total savings
deposits for the year 1922 in the $50
institutions reporting to the board,
which indicates heavy increases in the
savings OF the American people.
The average increase of the institu-
tions, said to represent about n per
cent of the total savings for the coun-
audtry, was given as more than half a
billion dollars in the twelVe-month
period.
Savings deposits in the $50 banks
aggregated $5,S37.363 on January l.
1892, and S6.2S2,172,000 on January !,
1928, gross increase of more than
S445, 900. The increases shown
we're almost equally distributed over
the country. the boards figures show
ing that every federal reserve district
had greater savings deposits than on
the preceding January 1.
Increase in December.
During December. according to the
hoards analysis of the figures from
inc $50 institutions. the savings de-
noslts increased Z per cent over No
Ncmber, while the months deposits
showed an increase over the previous
January | of more than 7ia per cent.
This increase, however. it was saio,
may he described as seasonal" in
asmuch as il was believed to have
been due largely to the transfer of
Christmas savings funds to regular
savings accounts. and thus. for. the
first time. became subject to report
ny the banks in which the funds were
placed
The figures show a steady increase
in investments owned. There is.
however, apparently no inclination to
broaden holdings Of corporate secu-
rites. the increase being strictly con-
tned to government obligations. This
Cautiousness in leading banks has
been noticeable for several months.
Liberty Bonds Popular.
The greatest accumulation has been
in Liberty bonds, about $523, 900, 900
in tho last six months. which seems
TO point to higher quotations. Next
and Treasury notes. with an increase
Of about 1855. 900. 900. During the
same period there has been Il liquida-
tion of about $50. 900 600 in corporate
securities. This compares with an
Increase of SlSO,S00 600 for the first
half of 1922.

BLIND APPOINTED TO LEAD
THE BLIND

The false hope by means of which
the wreckers of Russia made their
dupes was that the unsuccessful sud-
denly and without preparation be
made the successful; that those who
never had experience in governing
should be given authority to govern;
that those who never had exhibited
thrift should look after the finances,
and so on.
In line with this endeavor Bill
Haywood who jumped his bond in
this country and ran away to Russia,
was put in charge of establishing a
colony. He made fiat failure of his
attempt and then, without stopping
to pick up the fragments, the Lcnin
regime has made him a barker" and
promoter for establishing farming
communities.
Most will read this with little re-
grct, thinking only of the relief for
us in that Bill is to retain his res
idence in Russia. But have heart,
think of poor Russia. Verify her
cup of woe runneth over.

so MANY PEOPLE
ARE NERVOUS
"fruit-a.tives" The Greatest
Of all Nerve Remedies
Because Made Of Fruit Juices

The increase in the number of
persons suffering from Nervousness
is worldwide; due, in a measure, to
the reaction following the war.
Sleeplessness. Headaches. Mental De-
preston, rheumatism, Nervous Dys-
pepsia, Bad Heart Action. are the
results Of a disturbed condition of
the Nervous System.
The nerves and the blood are so
intimately. so vitality, connected that
the condition of one is bound to az
feet the condition of the other. If
the blood is laden with impurities, it
is impossible to have strong, steady
nerves.
Fruit a. tives" will always cure
Nervousness because it is a fruit
medicine and acts directly on the
organs Of the body which purify the
blood, thus relieving the nervous
system.
1t is because "Fruit a-tives" is a
genuine fruit medicine that it stimu-
lates bowels, kidneys and skin and
purifies the bood-improves appe-
tite and gestion--i1.sures food be-
ing properly digested--thus enabling
the blood to carry wholesome nOur-
ishment to build up the body. par
ticularly the nerves.

Editorial Comment
Warships at Smyrna

W. l. ltncS)
1t still seems probable that the
breaking off of the Lausanne confer
ence will not be followed by the re-
newal OF fighting in the Near East.
reports of the bellgerent intentions
or the Greek Government are contra
dlcted by dispatch to the Greek
National Herald quoting Colonel
Gonatas. the Premier, as declaring
that Greece will not become in
VOWED in now struggle single
handed" And he evidently expects
no aid from outside.
There is new complication at
smyrna in the Turkish order forbid
dino foreign Warships OF moro than
1000 tons to enter the harbor. The
British have sent a cruiser off to find
out if the Turks mean it, the French
have joined them in a protest. and
the foreign colony at Smyrna is said
tic be much excited. 1t remains to be
seen what the Turks will or can do
with this British cruiser; there are
no Notifications of consequence in
the harbor. and it is doubtful if the
Turkish supply Of mobile heavy ar
tillery is sufficient to drive warships
OF any size away.
~ any rate, our State Department
is face to face with an ''involv-
ment." We have informed the Turks
in impressive tones that our warships
must have the right to go anywhere
on their peaceful crrands If we
meant this. and if the. Turks mean
their order about vessels in Smyrna
Harbor. it looks as if our warships,
on their peaceful errands. might have
to engage in some hostile practices.
But. after all, these things rarely
happen. and in these modern times
diplomats are used to explaining that
what they said wasn't to be taken
too seriously. There is no reason to
expect a Turkish American war in
the fulfillment of our peaceful err
rands
