CRITICISM OF BANK IS NOT
JUSTIFIABLE
Replying to recent crttieiem to the
effect that the Government Savings
Bank's expenditures were $111,510,
and that total deposits amounted to
$3,868,040 as at December 31, 1922,
and therefore that the cost of deposits
is too high, Mr. M. E. McKenzie, di-
rector, -states: "No mention is made •
of the amount included in the $111,51) i
1 representing capital expenditure re -
quired in the establishing of fourteen
1 branch offices, and no mention is
e fmade as to the earning power -of the
funds on deposit. These two items
taken into consideration materially
reduce operating expenses. Surely
equipment must be considered as
having some value.
"It is indeed' misleading to the
public to flatly state that $111,610 is
too excessive a cost to secure a de-
posit of $3,863,040. If such were the
case the statement would be quite
justifiable. On the contrary the
statement can only be labeled as in
itself absurd."
The savings bank, with approxi -
mutely $6,000,000 on deposit at date, 1
Mr. McKenzie states, is practically on
a paying basis, and when it is taken
into consideration that this bank has
Leen open to the public less than a
year, the progress made is' without
precedent. "The bank must pay its
t.wn way, and will stand on its own
legs. Public enterprises should bo
given fair and constructive criticises.
That the Provincial Bank has made
unprecedented progress and that it
will be self-sustaining is proven be-
yond a doubt. Of course, it surely -
is not expected to pay its entire
equipment, etc., from first year's
earnings."

The moat oouvinoing proof of the
true worth of "Fruit-a-tives" as a
medicine for women is found in the
letters written by them to "Fruit-a-
tivea". For instance:
"I suffered with all the symptoms
of female trouble, pales low down

and constant headache. A doctor
advised an operation. I started
"Fruit-a-tives" and tbie fruit

caaeb through a long term of years.
I No greater trdgedies appear on the
pages of fiction than many of the
stories of these misguided persona
whose lifetime accumulations have
been swept away.
It is unfortunate' that much of
the so-called thrift work in this
country encouragement has been
given only to the saving of money.
One cannot, of course; say ought of
such advice, excepting that it does
nut go far enough.
Let the nation learn the words of
Lincoln that "economy begins with
saving money," but la us emphasize
the thought that Lincoln made use
of the word Begirt. Saving money
is only the beg' ning of thrift.
Judging by the reports in the
Fnewspapers from day to day/ one
seems save in assuming that there
is a rising tide of unscrupulous prac-
tices based on insufficient popular
understanding of personal economics.
A great public duty confronts us
all in putting forth every effort to
end these machinations. As much
attention should be given to teach-
ing the correct wiles of money as is
given to the encouragement of sav-
ing money. Simply to preach Save.
Save, is not enough.
Wise spending and prutlent invest-
ing constitute twd-thirds of the prob-
lem of personal economics. Success-
ful saving is the other third,
ing a tractor are emphasized: (1)
The size of farm and fields, (2) kind
of soil, (3) topography, (4) the work
tractors do, Or the benefits, and (6)
drawbacks of ownership and use.
The use of a tractor on a farm of
a certain size may be justified while
col another farm of even twice the
size the reverse may be true.
Most tractor owners also use their
machinest for a large number of draw-
bar and belt operations, the number
usually increasing the longer the rpa•
chine is owned. Some of the draw-
backs of owning a tractor, to which
prospective purchasers are urged to
give due consideration, are: First
cost, depreciation, interest, repairs,
breakage, quality of work and cost of
equipment. The benefits of a tractor
are said to be the displacement of
work stock, saving in feed, increase
in yield and size of farm, and saving
in hired help. Farmers are advised
that if the decision to purchase a trac-
tor is finally brought down to the
drawbacks and benefits incidental to
ownership, each should be considered,
studied and weighed as it applies to
the home farm.
Each farm is h problem in itself
so far,as the ase of tractors is con-
cerned and the conditions and pecul-
iarities of one are lacking or magnifi-
ed on another, say the investigators.
"The tractor may sometimes prove a
profitable investment., even though it
docs not permit the owner to dispose
of any work stock, as the value of the
w, rk done with the tractor and the
time Saved may more than offset the
est of keeping th.• work stock which
might ordinarily be displaced."
I'O'rA'TORS STAND EARLIER
PLANTING THAN DOES CORN
Planting potatoes after the corn
has been put in does not produce the
best results, according to a five-year
experiment conducted co-operatively
by the United States Department of
Agriculture and the Iowa Experiment
Station. The fact that the minimum
growing temperature for potatoes is
fully ten degrees lower than for corn
would make the reverse of this urac-
vee seers advisable, and yields from
Iantings made on various dates from
early April to the middle of .lune havo
proved this contention to be sound.
'rhe early planting also has the ad-
vantage of an early Fall market when
prices usually are better than a little
later when marketing is in fall swing.
ir, this experiment the Mural New
Yorker variety was used and the dates ,
of planting were set at ten-day inter•
t:ds, beginning April loth. The s,•0
.nal rise in temperature reached the
4,' -degree line in Central Iowa usuai
Ir a little before the middle of April.
The best yields were obtained from
pl: stings made .shortly after the tem-
perature passed the 411 -degree line.
I9: ntiags made after the middle of
May produced a successive decline in
yield, auok between the first and Ina
plaotings there was a spread of ti3
bur els an acre. The average for the
five years for the April plantings was
124.4 bushels and for the plantings
made the first half of June 76.2 bush-
els per acre.
THEY KEEP THE PACT
An American writer in England has
sent home to his journal some humor-
ous articles about the way the Eng-
lish preserve old customs. He men-
tions, for instance, their devotion to
what he considers the antiquated
game of cricket, although baseball
has now been invented and men ars
running bases around the world. As
to this .cricketers will have opinions
of their own.
One evidence of the way old cus-
toms are preserved in England is
mertioned by this writer. He tells
how long centuries ago in the days of
the knights temples two buglers us-
ed to step out on the lawn in the rear
of the Temple Court and sound a
call to bring the knights in to dinner.
The knights are dust, their swords
are rust, the lawns have gone, cen-
turies have past, and yet, to -day, the
buglers step out at the accustomed
hour and sound the call.
There are many of these survivals
from the past—old customs carried
on long after the ordinary passer-by
has entirely forgotten the meaning
of them. Yet there is a certain stif-
fening put Otto British character by
these ties with a past, with a record
long made. The American might
have found interest in the motto
carved on the stone coffin of Edward
I. in Westminster Abbey which reads
"factum Servs." Keep the Pact was
as long ago as that carved in stone
by British chisels, and all down the
centuries the motto is preserved in
the Abbey, where passing generations
may see it and be influenced by it.
And Britain goes to a great deal of
trouble to keep her pacts, honor her
bonds, make good her word.
TRACTOR AND HORSES ON TiHE
SAME FARM
"There is no fixed minimus size of
farm upon which a tractor can be used
profitably," say L. A. Reyrioldson and,
H R. Tolley, specialists in farm pow-
er, who recently concluded an inves-
tigation for the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture to determine
the factors that should be considered
by farmers in purchasing tractors.
The kinds of crops raised and the
acreage of each are regarded as a
better guide in determining whether
a tractor is profitable on any farm,
they say.
"On gentle rolling land the tractor
has been found to work satisfactorily,
but on farms where the land is hilly,
some difficulty is had. Where ordin-
ary soil conditions exist, ,tractors are
doing satisfactory work. The tractor
ca;' be handled satisfactorily in the
fields found on most farms, and will
enable a farmer when plowing to fin-
ish the ends and corners without the
use of horses."

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
Abraham Lincoln once said that
economy begins with saving money.
What he had in mind was the great
truth that in thrift the first steps
consist of laying aside money, but
that these primary practices do not
constitute thrift in its entirety.
Current events emphasize the
need of widespread thrift education.
There are thousands who have made
the beginninx by saving money, but
unfortunately their thrift education
has gone no farther. As a result,
one reads in the papers almost daily
of the exposure of individuals who
have despoiled cherished savings

pain in the nape of my neck, and when
I st,x,p'd over I could not get up with -
nut help, because of pain in my back_
I did not sleep well and was nervous
at the least noise. I keep house, but I
was such a wreck that I could not sweep
the Poor nor wash the dishes without ly-
ing down afterwards. A friend living
near me told me what Lydia E. Pink-

her so I began to take it. With the first
bottle I felt brighter and got so I could
wash dishes and sweep without having
to lie down. Later I became regular

FATAL AMBITION TO SHINE IN
SOCIETY .
As was to have been expected the
unsuccessful effort of certain London
dressmakers to collect front Captain
Nash a large sum of money which his
wife had spent for clothes was fol-
lowed by the gallant captain securing
a decree nisi from his spendthrift
wife. It is not likely that the fascin
sting Mrs. Nash will remain long un-
ived. She has already run through
three husbands and is in the prime of
beauty and endeavor. As the judge
in the dressmaking case remarked,
the tradespeople seemed to regard
Captain Nash AS merely one incident-
al male in the career of Mrs. Nash, a
sort of moving picture. It was her
consuming ambition to be the best
dressed woman in London, and since
her husband's total income was 2400
the inference is that she must have
received contributions from other
sources, with the result that the cap-
tain's suit for divorce was granted.
On the witness stand he gave his
opinion that a woman might be the
hest dressed in London at an expendi-
ture of $J0,000 per annum, an esti-
mate that must have caused a few
sardonic grins to oveK.pread the
feces of husbands whose wives are
afflicted with a similar mania.
The suit against Captain Nash Was
Sir (' e
heard by n Ilonry . M1 tc ardl , a fiftt.-
year-old bachelor. and one not Mut.ur-
ally sympathetic, one would .suppose,
with extravagant wives. Not Tong
age he g;n ' an opinion on the mom -
1:•ry value of a wife, which was wide-
ly discussed. 11-' did not exuggerale
w, men's worth and said that punitive
damages against correspondents were
not permissible. Mrs. Nash was horn
Et -genie Donaldson and is an Ameri.
can. Her first husband was a elan
named Curwen. Later she became
the bride of Captain Sifton, but was
divorced from him in Canada in 1916.
Three years later she became the un-
blushing bride of Captain Nash. She
v'ar then twenty-five years old and
was in debt to the extent of 212,000,
of which £5,000 was due to dressmak-
ers, hairdresaers,milliners, glove mak-
ers and others engaged in the task of
making women still more lovely.
Captain Nash must have been deeply
infatuated for he assumed these debts
and to liquidate them sold out his
property in South America. That
left him with only his army pay of
1400. It night have been sufficient
if Mrs. Nash had reconciled herself
to living on this moderate scale, but
she did not.
When she was married she ordered
dresses to a considerable amount,
which the new husband had to pay.
A month later she bought a mink
coat for £588. In the following March
the pallid Captain paid 1960 on ac-
count of dresses supplied to his bride.
The bill for which the suit was
brought was of £657 and represented
goods bought in the last six months
of 1920. The Captain's defence was
that he had forbidden his wife to
pledge his credit, that he had given
her an pllowance and that the dresses
Were unnecessary. Moreover, Mrs.
Nash appears to have had a private
income. Tradespeople had dealt. With
het for years under a variety of
names and gave her credit not on ac-
ccunt of her temporary or fugitive
husbands, but on the understanding
that she was a woman of substance_.
This was the contention of the Cap-
tain's solicitors and appears to have
been accepted by the learned judge.
Some of the gowns whose prices
hcn•ified the judge, were:
Robe Gismonda Phenicenne ceil,
296.
Morning dress of velours carreaux
rouge, £112.
Robe pecherese laine blue, £148.
Robe chrysis hroche jaune,
Robe crysalidc tulle bleu hrode,
2184.
It was also said she had paid 2600
for a silver fox fur.
Captain Nash said his wife had
wardrobes built into the maids' rooms
for her dresses, and he remembered
once. seeing thirty evening dresses
that ap$eared to be in use. He
thought she might have possessed 60
dresses: She never wore on dress
however expensive, more than three
tines. One of the items of the bill
was for two pairs of silk stockings
at £8, ($40) a pair. The Captain
occasionally went with his wife when
she bought dresses, -it was testified;
but he added that he never disap-
proved of a dress after she had
bought it, because if he did, she Would
immediately buy another.
As a rule women who are famed
for the lavishness of their expenditure
are coy about giving details for the
public: It is as a rule, only in the
course of lawsuits that such facts are
divulged. Some years ago the Amer-
ican public read with bulging eyes

some remarks made by Miss Giulia
Morosini, concerning her necessary
expenditure. Miss Morosini was for
years one of the sartorial sensations
of the New York horse show. Later
on she became the wife of Arthur M.
Werner, a handsome mounted police-
man, who had stopped her runaway
horse. She divorced him, of course.
In 1906 she said it would cost about
$200,000 for the fashionable woman to
dress. Some of her gowns cost $6,-,
000. but the average was only about
$1,000, and she found that she could
not get along with fewer than 100 a
year.
Items in her yearly bill for clothes
were: 100 street and evening gown,,
at an average cost of $1,000 each,
$1(10,000; lingerie, $20,000; 60 pairs
of shoes at e$50 a pair, 82,500; 365
pairs of gloves at $4, each pair to be
worn only once, $1,460; furs, $10,000;
stockings from $7 to $50 a pair.
