Times have changed. The man who had the marble hauling contract for the ''new" city hall charged the city with a $24-mule. He sold the mule on rising market for $46 and credited the city with the difference.
 He'd go to the booby hatch if he did that now.

In almost every bank state ment one sees an item, Re served for Interest, Taxes, etc.
 That item means that a cer- tain amount of the bank in- come is set aside at regular and stated intervals for the purpose of paying interest on deposits and taxes.
 Once or twice each year we have suggested to the public the wisdom of having an &C., count in our Savings Depart ment where interest is com pounded semi-annually-the account to be used for the pur- $ pose of meeting taxes, insur- ance and deferred payments upon property. Thousands of notices are now being mailed to the citizens of Jefferson county, informing them of the amount of taxes due. Those individuals who have planned ahead will find it no hardship to meet the taxes. If their plan has in- cluded a savings account where weekly or monthly proportions of the amount have been deposited, they not only find the cash ready and available, but the compound interest added. If you have not yet tried this savings budget plan, begin now. You will not regret it.
