BANKERS DROPIN SAVINGS Lure of Stock Market Partly to Blame, but Stackened Speculation Expected to Bring Return • to Thrift •- X 'M' »v '»*:i-\•>*»>**!•'• The first recession in the nation's savings account in banks in the twenty years during which records in this field have been kept by the American Bankers Association was disclosed for last year in the recent annual compilation prepared by its Savings Bank Division. The shrinkage amounted to over $195,000,000, on the basis of figures for the year ending June 29, 1929. whereas a year earlier the reported increase was over |2,300,000,000, the largest ever recorded. The number ot savings depositors also decreased during the year covered by more than 600.000 accounts. The lure of the stock market and affiliated activities are cited rfs part of the explanation for these changes. The association's statement says that savings deposits in banks and trust companies of continental United States on June 29, 1929, stood at |28,- 217,656.000. The recession in savings, it declares, indicates a fundamental change in the savings situation, irrespective of whether it Is temporary or not y v How Savings Used to Grow "In 1926 savings deppslta Increased $1,562,000,000, in 1927 almost $1,400,- 000,000 and in 1928 over 12,300,000,- 000," it says. "It appears now that some Influences in one year have taken the gain that might reasonably have been expected in savings deposits for 1929 and lowered them from the high mark of the preceding year. This recession is not one coming as a result of drouth, famine, unemployment or conditions outside of the United States. "A year ago it was stated: 'The year closing June 30, 1928, registered the largest gain in savings deposits in banks and trust companies of continental United States ever recorded in the history of this country.' What a difference one year makes! From a gain of more than 2*4 billions of dollars in savings deposits to a loss of almost 200 millions! The loss in savings deposits is re- ED VOGE|» GENERAL ^ AUCTIONEER Fail Sales a Specialty Solon Mills, 111 Tel. Richmond 2M Reference Past Sales SATISFACTION GUARANTEED tal of 52,664,127 depositors, against 53.188,348 for 1928. a loss of 524.221. "Industrial production was much higher last year than the preceding year. Factory payrolls were considerably greater. In production, employment and trade, advances were made over the preceding year. In the farm areas the improvement noted tor 1928 did not recede in 1929 and the livestock industry in all its branches was prosperous. The Causes of the Drop "The causes of the recession are possibly multiple. There is scarcely any reason to doubt that one of the important factors draining away savings and decreasing depositors has been the lure of profits to be made in stocks. For a number of years the people have been regaled with stories of profits made in stocks in all types of companies. During the last few years there has been a specious philosophy preached that panics such as formerly occurred were no longer possible. "If It was the lure of profits in stocks which caused the recession in savings, then a factor in future savings will be the success attendant upon this venture of savings deirositors in stocks. If the experiment did not .prove generally successful, then another year will doubtless witness an increase in savings deposits as wM as In savings depositors." THlOutdcdrs STORIES IN THE SNOW Many interesting stories are told by the tracks found in the snow while through the woodlands during winter months. Animals and leave a trail that tells distinctly their movements have been in their day or night of seeking food, playing, resting and, sometimes, tragedy. An excellent method of teaching youngsters the nature of wild animals and birds, their tracks and habits during the cold weather period is to take them on a trip through the snow covered fields, marshes and into the deep forest. Here they will discover startling stories in the qujet solitude and add much to their kndwledge of the actual habits of the deni ns of the outdoors. Probably the most common track „en will be that of the cottontail, snow-shoe or jack-rabbit. Their trails will be discovered in the swamps and evergreen thickets and at the edge of the forest, or along the banks of a stream. In many instances the tracks of a weasfel, mink, bob-cat, lynx, wolf or fox will also be discovered following the trails of rabbits, and perchance you might come upon the spot where the hungry animal captured his quarry and devoured him. Deep in the woods you will see deer tracks and "rounded out" beds where the fleet-footed animal lias rested. Wolf tracks, especially the lanky timber wolf and lobo, are usually seen where the deer seek cover and protection, which is usually deep in some cedar swamp where the moss and soft ground vegetation can be uncovered for food. The smooth surface of the frozen river bed is always used by many animals during winter in their journey after food. Here you will see the tracks of mink, otter, beaver, racoon, muskrat, wolves, fox and almost every native furry inhabitant of the out doors. The river bed makes easy going and the animals make much better time in their long nightly trips afield. Make a trip to your nearby wood lands this week-end. You will, surely enjoy the mysteries of the tracks i» the snow and learn to know the out fleeted also In the loss of savings de- .doors better. Dress warm and com positors.

The superstition regarding its bad luck began in the Fourteenth century at the time of the Black death, particularly In Venice. At that time the opal was a favorite of the Italian jewelers, but fat was said that opals worn by those stricken with the disease became suddenly brilliant and that their luster departed upon the death of the owner. Thus the opal became associated With death and an object of dread. .f y £ '-- - Harried Woman Fears Gas --Eats Only Baby Food , "For 3 years I ate only baby food, everything else formed gas.

My stomach, liver and bowels were all out of order. I lost weight and strength. I had bilious attacks, dizzy spells and sickening headaches. My stomach bloated with gas after every meal. B "The man who told me about Konjola insisted that I try it. He had such faith in this new medicine that I began the treatment. To my astonishment, relief came with the very first bottle. In all I took five bottles and that was enough to solve all my health problems. I am feeling better than in years, and I owe all this to Konjola." Konjola is sold in McHenry at Thomas P.
