The amount of money despoaited in these admirable institutions was less than in the preceding year, inspite of the increase in the number of depositors, but this seemingly paradoxical state of affairs is explained by the fact that the people the people of sm 11 and moderate means have been loaning their money to the government. It is one of the cheering signs of the times, and the best part of it is that the managers of these savings funds have encouraged their depositors to use their money to help win the war. In acting in this pat riotic manner they are also build ing wisely for the future, because they are of the opinion that this war and the various drives for money will be the means of teach ing thrift and self-respect. Banking Superintendent Skin ner calls attention to the fact that the New York savings banks purchased for themselves or for their patrons Liberty Bonds to the amount of over$91,1000,000 "It should be remembered," hesays. "that the patrons of these savings banks are largely working people of small means, unaccustomed to bond-buying in vestments. They have almost without exception engaged with enthusiasm in the campaign that has been inaugurated for the sale of war savings certificates and thrift stamps. These minute se curities offer an exceptional op portunity to the patrons of such institutions to assist in financing the war without withdrawing the Bmall sums which they have laid aside for the time of sickness or death or for the purchase of a home." This is expert testimony, and there is every reason for hoping that the example which has been set in New York will be duplica ted in all the other common wealths of the Union. The mon ey that is saved to help the gov ernment, frequently as the result of sacrifices, will not only be a source of comfort to the men and women of small means, but it will indicate the habit of saving. A thrifty nation is usually a pros perous and contented nation. Philadelphia Inquirer. MARCH COURT. Contioued from page 1. Wayne VV.
