U. S. KNUCKLINC
DOWN TO STEADY
SAVING ROUTINE
Banks Survey Shows Trust
in Stock Market Has
Been Shattered.
BY CORNELIUS VANDERBILT Jr.
fConrripht 1870 hv United PRESS

BY CORNELIUS VANDERBILT Jr.
Copyright. 1890. by United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-A two
sided picture of the banking sit
uation in the United States at
present was drawn by E. L. Smead,
chief of the division of bank OPP
erations Of the federal reserve board
when he was asked to comment on
the economic depression and the
recent closing of banks in the
southwestern and central states.
The situation may be divided
broadly into it's urban and its rural
aspects, according to Smeal. On
the urban side are encouraging
symptoms such as increased savings
deposits and decline in collateral
loans. On the rural side he told of
frozen assets and a drop in both
demand and time accounts.
Smead believes that the average
American has lost confidence in
Stock Exchange risks long since, and
is knuckling down to long period
Of saving.
Investment Money Checked
Investment money from the null
titude largely has been checked, and
the play on the big and little boards
of finance is confined almost ex-
clusively to major operations.
The theory would appear demon
strable by the figures recently re-
leased which show that metropol-
itan banks throughout the country
are carrying today $76O,OOO,0OO more
in savings accounts than they were
a year ago.
AS opposed to this, banks in
twenty-one agricultural states re-
ported a large decline both in de-
mand and time accounts, a de-
cline greater than at any time ex-
cept during war years.
East in Good Condition
Either the farmers assets are
frozen. or he has withdrawn his
funds from the local bank and
placed them far, far down in his
jeans.
That banking conditions in Ger
tain sections of the east are good
is established. incidentally, by the
fact that in New York state there
has been an increase in one year OF
5000, 100000 in savings and pass
book accounts.
Indeed, it may be said that the
situation in some of the big cities
seldom has been better, the effects
of the stock market decline having
been largely effaced.
Smaller Banks Weakened
On the other hand, it is undeli-
able that vast sum of money has
gone out of circulation, which weak
ems the smaller banks.
Depositors in rural communities
well may have tired of divergent
business prognostications and have
decided to put their savings in
liquid form rather than to entrust
them to banks.
In many cases they have con-
verified whatever securities they have
to cash, often at tremendous losses.

COUNTY FUNDS
DEFICIT LAID TO
C. 0. P. REIGN
New Council Adopts Thrift
Program; Scores Lax
Control in Past.

Marion county's Republican adj
ministration today stands charged
with violation OF budget laws, ex-
cessive spending and ladty Of con-
troll of the county treasury.
Charges to this effect were made
by the new Democratic county
council Wednesday afternoon as the
council ended a comprehensive
probe into the county's financial
status.
Asking the support of civic, bust
ness and governmental organizations
IN holding down" expenses Of gov
eminent. the council inaugurated a
thrift administration by promptly
pairing $288,O0O from ordinances
placed in their hands.
In a public statement issued 1t
the meeting. cOuncilmen lamented
the depressing" state Of finances,
lambasted the retiring O. o. P. adj
ministration for "hasty uneconOmi-
cal, and lax spending
Spent Beyond Income
This condition is the result of
continually having spent during the
several years past more in the oper-
alton Of government than the in
come provided. There are many
evidences Of uneconomical and lax
spending throughout all county of
dces.. courts and institutions, the
statement read.
THE future. as to the condition
of the county fund, considering the
large deficit that now is hanging
over us. is most deplorable. We can
sec very little encouragement un-
less there can come a concerted and
conscientious effort toward strict
businesslike economy on the part
Of all officials and employees who
have authority to make purchases
or approve expenditures. With such
cooperation. the disbursements for
1881 can be held within the income
TO- the year
Deficit Is Forecast
The county fund, councilmen dis
covered. will show deficit at the
end of this year of $295,000.

is seriously depleted because OF
hasty and unwise commitments" OF
the Republican board of county
commissioners, the sta tie m en- t
charges.
Commissioners are John E.
Shearer and Charles o. Sutton, Cot
fin henchmen, and George Snider.
Shearer and Snider will hold office
through 1881.
They have attempted to obligate
the county for large sums greatly
in excess of the appropriations fixed
for respective items, in direct viola
ton of the county budget law" the
statement declares.
Score Bonds Increase
Criticism of the constantly grow
ing bonded indebtedness of the
county was aired in the statement
as the council refused to approve
issuance of $4,000 for poor farm
relief and 100000 for the Belt rail-
road elevation program.
This situation, as affecting the
county's Indebtedness is most de
pressing. We can see no way for
Improvement except that some
means be found to stop projects that
cause the continued issuance of
bends" councilmen said in the
statement.
To this end we feel that we have
tie right to appeal for the support

press, other governmental bodies,

Feed Carefully This Year

The winter of 1930-31 offers some
unusual problems in feeding farm
animals, says K. A. Clark, Animal
Husbandman, College Park, Mary
land. Corn is relatively scarce and
high in price. Wheat, though much
has been sold from farms, is unusual
ly low in price. Cotton seed meal is
abundant and of good quality, though
cheaper than usual. Hay is scarce and
high in price. Beet pulp and oatmeal
by-products, feeds which are not
generally fed in large amounts in
Maryland, have been offered at prices
which, are fairly attractive. 1t would
seem to be good business to feed only
good animals through the winter and
to feed them rather literally if abund-
ant production is expected from them.
A careful selection of feeds needs to
be made if most economical produc-
ton is expected. The feeding of COM
mon animals on inferior feeds, in
small amounts is never likely to re-
suit in large profits, even if feeds are
cheap. Feeders should make a care
full study of the possibility of making
good use of oat by-products, cotton
seed meal, beet pulp, and any other
feeds which may be available on a
basis that will permit profit from
their use, but should insist upon
quality that is in keeping with the
price paid for either standard or I'M
usual feeds. 1t should be remembered
always that rations need to suit the
| needs of the animals to which they
are fed if both a good rate of pro-
duction and economical production
are expected. Inadequate rations
cause much lack of profit. Parasites,
diseases, and accident are much more
likely to be disastrous for poorly fed,
weak animals than for animals that
have the good, strong condition that
is associated with regular consump-
| ton of suitable feeds in generous
| amount. Starvation, complete or par
tial, will lower rather than raise re-
turns and profits.
| Feed for profit this winter. j

leaves and cork-lined twigs, develops
striking effects in purple and crimson
tones. 1t is among the naples, how
ever, that one finds the most startling
and brilliant displays in reds and yell
lows. The sugar or rock maple takes
the lead in this regard. 1t is found in
abundance only in the mountain Sec
ton of Maryland and contrasts beau
tifully with the deep green of hemlock
and rhododendron. On the lower lev
els, the red or swamp maple gives a
bewildering variety of tones. 1t is
notable, too, in having wider range
of delicate tones in early spring. The
Norway maple is arrayed mainly in
rich yellows. The tulip poplar, hick-
ory and ash also provide good yellow
tones.
Some of the smaller growing trees,
such as the dogwood and sassafras
should not be overlooked.
Among the shrubby forms noted for
their color displays are the sumacs.
The common forms are stag horn,
smooth and dwarf sumacs. These are
adapted to dry locations and for
strong, bold strokes in red, are unex-
celled. The swamp sumac, found usu-
ally in rather inaccessible places,
should be left strictly alone as it is
more poisonous than the three-leaved
ivy, which also develops brilliant
colors.
The high bush BURBERRY, in addi-
ton to dainty spring effects in leaf
and flower, is most brilliant in its dis
play of red tones as it margins the
wood. Several other native ericaceous
forms are noted for their good fall
colors.
The spice bush is especially charm
ing as it lightens up the woods with
it's rich yellow color. Among the ma
tive viburnums, the arrowwood and
black haw are common along streams
and in thickets and usually develop
satisfactory colors.
Among the vines should be mention
ed the Virginia creeper and the bitter
sweet, the latter, having in addition
to good yellow foliage, ornamental
fruits of orange scarlet, much sought
after for winter decorations.
This is the season of the year for
making your selection of fall colors,
and for planning to touch up the home
grounds with suitable specimens from
woods or nursery.

Pick Out Your Fall COlOrs

In autumn days, nature, with
palette in hand, paints the landscape
in gorgeous colors, defying the imita-
ton of the most skillful artist. 1t is,
nevertheless, the high privilege of the
home owner, with taste for the
beautiful, to cooperate with nature to
the extent that he may surround his
habitation with specimens of her art
in colors. No other country on the
globe is blessed with such profusion
of highly colored foliage in tree and
shrub as in America, and while one
may enjoy this panorama by visiting
the wooded areas, a much more salts
factory plan is to transplant some Of
this beauty to the home grounds,
A most important preliminary. step
to this end is to mark at this season
of the year specimen trees, shrubs, or
vines to the woods which show colors
that strike the fancy, SO that later
they may be lacoted and transplanted.
One may be reasonably certain that a
tree which this fall shows brilliant
coloring of foliage will retain those
same characteristics in later years.
One of the first trees to show its
autumn colors is the tupelo, or black
gum It's mingling of strong reds and
crimsons with bright greens compel
the attention of the passerby. Its
slender, nearly horizontal branches,
add to the unique character of tree
which is adapted to rather moist loca-
tons.
The sweet gum, with its star-shaped
