Tnhe weather will have a great deal to do with the re- freshment privilége. Depression Little Felt. From the figures givén out by the officials of the Berlin Savings bank I is evident that the present industrial} depression has had but little effect at | thig bank. On July 1, 920, the num- ber of depositors at the bank was 3,872. On July 1, 1381, the number was 4,338, an increaSe of 466 people in a year which has been one of the worst in the history of the country. The numiber of accounts opened dur- ing the vear amounted to 720 while 254 were closed. On July 1, 1920, the amount of de- posits in the bank was $3,123,225.28, while on July 1, 1921, the deposits amounted to $3,340,171.35, which a gain of $216,946.07. This gain, how- ever, is not as large as the gain of 1920 over 1919 which was $605,714.12. The amount deposited within the past year was $1,003,348.35 while the wit] drawals amounted to $786,402.28. This showed a gan of $201,451.14 over last year. Francis Deming, secretary and treasurer of the bank, was well pleased with the showing of this in- stitute over many other larger banks in the state and claims that very few can show as good a standing as the Berlin Savings bank.

Alice Joyce in “Tne Scarab Ring,” has an emotional a screen role as has ever been played by a film star. This picture feature at the Capitel is adapted from the widely read novel. “The Desperate Heritage,” by Har- rie: Gaylord. As elaborate in its embellishments as the original and fully as pieasing in its singing and. dancing numbers is “Sweethearts,” which comes as a condensed musical comedy in thres scenes. “A comedy Mix-up,” a remarkably good vaudeville turn as presented by Jack Cahill and Don Remino. Inman and Romaine crowd plenty of fun in- to “Back Home Again,” and the Ethel Levy trio are a pleasing group of singers, dancers and instrymentalists, When the public unanimously gives preference—there’s a good reason for Post Toasties best corn flakes You can buy corn flakes and m can buy Post Toasties.
