Historic Nut Trees To Be
Planted For 1892 Babies

In furtherance of the tree planting
program in honor of 1882 babies of
Garrett county and the Bicentennial
celebration, nuts from historic nut
trees will be presented to the parents
of those babies, through the Oakland
Civic club, to be planted in their hon
or. Along with the historic nuts will
be a spoonful of historic soil over
which Washington has trod, and a
nut planting certificate in the baby's
name.
The Civic club urged several weeks
ago that trees be planted in honor of
the 1882 babies, but this additional
offer is being made by the club in
order to lend little more historic
significance to the occasion.
The nuts have been gathered from
walnut, hickory and other nut trees,
on George Washington's former es-
tates and historic spots, and are all
of this years crop, according to Miss
Lottie Loar, club president.
The soil which will be presented
with each nut to be planted comes
from the following places: Wakefield,
Va, Washington's birthplace and early
childhood home; from around the
famous cherry tree and his surveyors
office on Ferry Farm, near his boy
hod home, near Fredericksburg; from
the garden of his mothers town
house in Fredericksburg where her
son babe her farewell before being
made first president; from Cambridge
Common, Mass, where, as new COM
mander-in-chief, he took command of
the first American Army, July 8,
ITS; from the grounds of Independ-
r. square, Phila.; from the State
G~dse grounds, Annapolis, where in
1888 Washington resigned as Com
mander; from Mount Vernon, home
and final resting place of George and
Martha Washington.
These historic nuts, the historic
soil, and the nut planting certificate
will be furnished through the Civic
club to any parents of 1882 babies
who request them, and providing
there are any left, they will be given
out to others who desire them.

SAVINGS DEPOSITS
PASS2Sb|LL|ONS
Giant Reservoir Of Buying
Power AnaIyzed by
Bankers Association.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,
Associated Press pusineas wyiear

The greatest bulk of Americans
spending reservoir appears to lie in saw
ings deposits Of all banking institutions
which, according to the latest estimates
by the American Bankers Association,
are slightly less than s28, ,25o, 900, 900.
In the postal savings account of the
Post Office Department there reposes
more than $500, 100000, with this
amount growing at the rate OF more
than $50 .000,000 each month. This ac-
celeration Is said to come mainly from
class willing to sacrifice a higher in
terest return for the ultimate safety Of
fered by the United States Government.
Another source of buying power Is in
the hands Of the agricultural interests.
Returns on the five principal crops this
year are estimated In excess Of s2.000,-
900. 900, distributed as follows: Corn,
$500, 100000 hay. $545, 900 900; cotton.
s310, 100000; wheat, s240, ,0o0, 900, and
oats, 1920, 900, 900.
Still another source Of buying power
is that represented by security holders.
Reliable private estimates indicate that
security owners have increased approx
mately 20 per cent during the last two
years. and while this fact does not rep
resent additional purchasing power, it
does suggest that the buying field is
spread over a wider area, foretelling
more judicious spending With the
economies necessarily effected during
the last two years in practically all
lines of operation, 1t Is believed In
Washington that when better business
returns the purchasing power Of stock
holders will be augmented by larger
dividends, made possible through this
saving, in addition to the additional
funds gained through appreciation OF
security values.
The banking institutions themselves
have ample funds available for attrac-
tive uses, evidenced by the weekly con-
dition statement of reporting members
of the Fderal Reserve System. and by
the huge oversubscriptions to the peri
odic issues of Government securities.
The latter, however. Is somewhat offset
We're the subscribing banks, to assure
themselves of securing their desired
amounts, had subscriptions to the Fed
eral issues.
Income accruing to farmers is par
ticularly significant as the Department.
Of Agriculture states about so per cent
of all farms in the United States are
free of mortgage Indebtedness.
