AMERICAN PRE3S ASSOCIATION January 27 F R ID A Y 1922 National Thrift Week at Moro National Thrift Week was cele brated very enthusiastically in Moro last week. The campaign of the Bank of Moro for savings accounts fou. i. great support in the interest taken by the boys and girls of this community. As a result of the campaign n e .»-Iv 50 savings accounts were opened, each depositor receiving one of the Hand some Home Banka which were g.ven with eVery account of $10. or more Interest in the public school was in creased by an added premium of $1. to the first depositor from each room. There are still a few of these banks left and to delay may mean to lose the chance to obtain one of these ‘handy savers. * Savings accounts at the Bank of Moro pay 5 per cent in terest and are absolutely safe and gel-at-able. Put your extra dollars to work for your children and have a Home Bank where all the spare pen nies. nick lea, dimes, and quarters can be put for future need. Your slogan should be: “ Don’t W aste-Save.” The ordinary country town can net expect to present a fine appearance as a result of having many costly edi fices. It may have some handsome buildings, but it usually cannot invest any great amount in expensive archi tecture and building materials. Il has to acquire a pleasing appearance in other ways, largely by scrupulous care of its business buildings, homes and streets, with the patient effort to beautify the same. The physical appearance of a town has much to do with its business suc cess and progress. A town whose business and home buildings are kept in good repair, looks like a winner. People feel that the same spirit of order and system must make it a good place to do business in. — The disarmament” conference lim ited battleships but not aircraft. The U.
