Ont of the contemplation of this colossal mass of wealth built to towering heights with average holding blocks of less than $600 to the individual | account arise two very satisfactory reflections. There is first the comfort it must be to those mil- lions, of small depositors to realize how much more every dollar of their savings will be worth if they must spend it later than it would have been if they had flung it during the war price] riot into silk skirts and flashy jewelry. Their money at that time, if they had put it into such| ‘waste or into any needless spending, would have! been worth in buying power only 60 or 50 cents on the dollar. But the dollars which, instead of burning up, they put away as savings on a 50} cent to the dollar basis, say, they can cash’ in, when the country gety¥ back to the normal toward which it is now moving, on a 100 cent basis.

Bank assets throughout the state. for the most part, represent sound values. Wher banks have become’ temporarily em- barrassed, it is not. in the main, on account of poor assets, but for the reason that. on account of farmers holding their wheat for better prices, payments on notes and. deposits of new funds have not kept pace with ordinary withdrawals.
