mated as own Your Own Home Day
Savings shares looking toward home

mated as own Your Own Home Day"
Savings shares looking toward home
ownership will be the special Offering
of the associations on that date. and
investment of their savings in home
Will be urged upon those who have
already learned thrift well enough to
have saved for down payment. Bar
gain prices in homes at the present are
expected to give this day record for
decisions to buy homes.
Definite plans for teaching school
children how to budget for wise spend
ing and wise saving are being shaped
by the associations. Special events, in
cluding banQuets and community group
meetings, are planned to focus atten-
tion on the major problem of the indi-
vidual's responsibility for recovery. The
ommunity campaigns include sched-
ules for addresses to be given by build
ing and loan leaders, citing the prime
factor necessary for recovery as de-
clared by economists of the league.
That normal buying is warranted only
when the family has savings reserve
to fall back upon will be the backbone
of the argument from coast to coast.
The associations enter the Thrift
week campaign with record for unin-
terrupted dividend payments over 100
years and maximum possible losses of
11-100th of l per cent during the first
half of 1881.
While all types of shares are avail
able in most associations every day in
the year, building and loan leaders
recognize in the present first month of
new year an opportunity to bring by
concentrated effort a new psychology
into investment" says Mr.. FarWell.
Every one agrees that the psychology
of the public has a direct influence
upon recovery. We should realize that
the normal situation which everybody
talks about getting back to is with us
when the average family has a good
sized reserve and home.

Production of oil in the Soviet Republic
in 1881 amounted to 22,300,000 tons, Is
per cent short of the program for the
year, but almost 100000 tons in excess

STOCKS EASE Up
AFTER LONG
. MARCH
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Aug. 2. G.N.S0.
The stock market paused today
after it's practically uninterrupted
advance of the last two weeks.
Weakness in grain and cotton
combined with fresh profit-taking
to give the list a decidedly irreg-
ular appearance, and the absence
of incentive for a fresh advance
made the bullish contingent mark
time.
Few Hold Gains
Stocks were easy in the early
dealings and subsequently rallied
to recover their losses. A few
like American Telephone were
able to work above last nights
close, but trading slowed down
considerably from recent sessions
and the market displayed a hesl-
tant tone.
Mining shares were the bright
spot, rising vigorously at the end
of the second hour. Rumors
were rife that the price Of domes-
tic copper would be pushed up to
Z cents a pound. At the same
time the London metal market
displayed a buoyant tone.
Coppers and Oils
This was enough to switch the
speculative limelight to the cop
per stocks and considerable buy
ing came into Kennecott and
International Nickel. The group
went to a new high on the move,
but gains we're small.
Payment of the regular divi-
dend by Socony Vacuum was
responsible for a slight furry IN
the oils. Interest petered out
quickly, however, and price
changes were without significance.
