ANKING SYSTEM The Federal Reserve Banking System with its thousand mil- lion dollars of resources stands back of its member banks and assists them in taking care of the needs of their depositors. Our membership in this system gives us special facilities for enabling farmers to plant, gather and store their crops. The next time you come to town stop in and let us tell you how this new sys- tem enables us to help you.

Nor can civilian war work attain any degree of effi- ciency without an effective organization to manage and conduct such work. Since the outbreak of war, we have supported the various calls for funds in a sort of haphazard way without really knowing just how much each person should do as their bit. Some kave not done their share—some have done more than their fair share. The war chest plan eliminates all inequal- ity in war charities and enables every’ person in the community to do their bit without assuming the share of the indifferent or unpatriotic individual. Furthermore than that it eliminates the great waste of time, effort and expense of the various and successive drives for funds for the different war activi- ties, which are supported by public subscription, by concentrating all of this work under the one drive. It is much better to know how much you will be called upon to contribute to the various causes during the year than to have a committee calling on you fora separate contribution every month or so. Under the War Chest plan all calls for money for the Red Cross war fund, the Y. M. C. A. and K. C. war funds, etc., will be met by the War Chest, which will be controlled by a committee of twelve or more citizens elected by the contributors. The funds in the War Chest are to be used only for such purposes as are endorsed by the National Government. When the call comes for funds for any of these purposes the committee controlling the War Chest meets, and votes the quota of this community from the War Chest into the National Fund, and the indi- vidual members are not solicited or bothered in any way as the money is already available to meet the community quota. In order that everyone may know what is expect- ed of them individually the organization committee has adopted the following plan of classifying all con- tributors to the War Chest fund: Each person is classified as to income and proper- ty holdings and is asked to contribute according to his ability. The system of units is used as a basis on which to work in fixing quotas. (See tables on this page.) An income of one thousand dollars will for in- stance represent one unit and an income of fifteen hundred dollars will represent two units. Property holdings of ten thousand dollars, as shown in table two, represent two units. Therefore a man with an income of fifteen hundred dollars a year and property holdings of ten thousand dollars would be classed as four units. If there were a total of five thousand units within the district and the district is caiied upon to raise $10,500 (for example) within the year, each unit would represent $2.10 and the four-unit-man’s share would be four times $2.10 or $8.40 for the year, or 70 cents a month. Surely no one, who remains at home while our soldiers and sailors are at the front fighting our bat- tles, will refuse to do his little share toward carrying on this great struggle for human liberty. Meet the committee in a spirit of fairness and * show that you are a true American by doing your part. * Table I Units represented by income: Yearly income— Units to $1,000 - - i $1,000 to $1,500 - - 2 $1,500 to $2,000 - - 8 $2,000 to $2,500 - - 4 $2,500 to $3,000 - - 6 $3,000 to $4,000 - - 10 $4,000 to $5,000 - - 15 Add 5 units for each additional thousand dollars. Unmarried persons, or those with no dependents, = add 50 per cent to numbers in which he is isted. Table II Units represented by property holdings: Value of Property — Units $ 1,000 to $ 5,000 - - 1 $ 5,000 to $10,000 - - 2 $10,000 to $15,000 - . 3 $15,000 to $20,000 - - 4 $20,000 to $30,000 - - 6 $30,000 to/$40,000 - 10 Add 5 units for each additional five thousand dollars of property. The amount to be raised is divided by the total number of units of all members added together, and this gives the amount in dollars and cents which a unit represents, . As we go to press, the glorious news is received by wire that in the big battle now raging in France the Germans are suffering the most crushing defeat of the war. On a 50-mile front the Americans have crushed the ene- my a distance of 6 miles deep, cap- turing thousands of prisoners and causing a complete rout of the German army in that sector, Those not killed, wounded or cap- tured dropped everything and are running like dogs toward their own territory. Let the good work go on! EE ATE ks The committee, composed of half a dozen of our boosters who made the rounds of the neighbor- hood yesterday to get signatures to our War Chest pledge . cards, report splendid success. Fully 95 persent of those solicited promptly signed up and promised to help boost along the good work. said baa Thrift Stamp Contest. The local War Savings Society has inaugurated a contest for the children fifteen years of age and younger, There will be $30 in prizes given to the children who secure the signatures to the thrift stamp pledge cards. Any boy or girl wishing to enter the contest should call at the postoffice or either of the banks and secure bank pledge cards and get busy. Contest closes Aug. 15. Each pledge secured counts as ten points and the larger the pledge the more points it counts, as one additional point is given for each $10 pledged above the first $10. The first prize for both the girls and boys is $5 in war savings stamps, the second prizes $2.50. The balance of the year is giv- en as the time in which the stamps can be purchased and count on the pledges of this con- | test. For further details inquire at the post office or banks.
