"And one OF the most appealing
features of the Plan is that it is
adaptable to the means of practically
everyone. The weekly payments,
which are deposited to the credit of
the customer in the bank and draw
interest at the regular savings rate,
may be fixed to suit the desires of
each purchaser. What could be cas-
Ter than that?
Cur decision to cooperate in the
Ford Weekly Purchase Plan is simply
in line with our general policy to ex-
tend every possible service to the
citizens Of this community, Mr.. G. A.
FTaley, Cashier of the Garrett
National Bank, said today relative
to the announcement.
ut is an excellent means of pro-
noting thrift, the thing most essen
tIal to financial success and the at
tainment of ambitions.
For several years now, banks gen
orally have been conducting cam
paigns urging people to open savings
accounts and thousands of persons
have done so. In many cases they
started with small amounts the first
year, but the second year their goal
was higher until these savings have
mounted into surprising figures.
THE automobile has become a ne
cessity to modern times. 1t is essen
tial to successful business and it is
unequaIled as means of providing
pleasure for the family.
"The effect of the Plan is most
wholesome. 1t is certain to promote
new feeling toward the automobile
and will tend to create a greater re-
gard for automobile ownership.
so why not save to own an auto
mobile, just as you do for vacation
or for Christmas? They are all pleas
ure-glvlng adventures that cost little
or no effort. "-Advertisement off

PREM|ERS PUT MORE
PRESSURE ON RUHR
Decide on Enforcing Sterner Re-
StriCtiOns in the Occupied Area
Until Berlin Yields.

Paris.-France and Belgium are no
nearer an accord on what should be
the minimum reparations acceptable
from Germany than they were the day
the Ruhr occupation started. This is
the result of the first days renewed
conferences of Premiers Poincare and
'Theunis, Foreign Minister Jasper and
their associates.
With the exception Of a brief dis
cussion when POincare entertained at
dinner-With Louis Loucheur present
the talks were devoted to studying
how the Ruhr can be made more pro-
ductive by applying new forms Of
economic pressure.
Officials naturally are reticent about
revealing what measures are to be ap-
piled until they have actually started,
but the New York Herald correspond
ent was informed from reliable
source that the new sanctions will in
clude making people remain indoors
at night in the troublesome areas,
as well as a probable increase in the
forces Of occupation.
As far as the economic side is con-
cerned, the experts intend to increase
the levies on the coke stores as well
as the seizures Df material both in
the Ruhr and Rhineland which may
be useful in reparations work both
in France and Belgium. >
This will include vast quantities Of
agricultural material Of which France
will be greatly in need during the next
few months. Factories in the Ruhr
are said to have thousands of plows,
harrows and harvesting machines
which may be used to increase
Frances food production.

Trout Supply Greater This Year

Since rabbits and quail are not to
be had for stocking purposes by the
State Game Department, it will, at
least, be comforting news to the fra
ternity of sportsmen to know that the
allotment Of trout coming this way
will be much larger than last year. A
letter from the conservation depart
ment states that these trout are be-
ing reared at the hatchery now and
the distribution will be made about
June LIST. They will be placed in vari-
GUS streams suited to receive them
in water that does not get warmer
than 60 degrees. 1t is understood
that the trout to be furnished in June
will be of a larger size than hereto
fore which will insure their quicker
growth and will also conserve more
OF them, as fish of larger growth are
not so apt to be destroyed in various
ways as those which are quite small.

AT the end of the first year OF
municipal railway operation in De-
troit, Mayor Doremus OF that c1ty,
announces a profit of $1,OOO,OOO
over and above expenses, the latter
including some $457,OOO paid IN
taxes
On its Face
that is a fine showing-even though
as the Mayor admits, the profit
figure is subject to reduction-and
indicates that the lines earned for
the city a total of $1,457,O0O.
But
large as the sum is, $1,457 600 falls
far short of what Public Service
Railway last year earned for the
cities and towns it serves
Because
in 1922 Public Service Railway re-
turned to the people in taxes alone,
s., 600 or about $1,OO0,OOO IN
excess of what the Detroit railways
returned in taxes and profit COM
bined.
Furthermore
if the Detroit line had been taxed
at the rate Public Service Railway
is taxed it would have had to pay
81, 900, 600 and not only $457,0O0
in taxes, and instead of its $1,000
900 profit" it would have shown a
$443, 600 deficit"
Or
to put it another way, if Public
Service Railway had been taxed at
the Detroit rate, the formers tax
bill last year would have been only
100000 instead of $2,400, 900.
AS 1t Was
each first fare rider on Public Serv-
ice lines paid about seventenths of
a cent in taxes while each Detroit
first fare rider paid only about one
tenth of a cent in taxes.
Some call it profit" others
"taxes."
