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.

ited battleships but not aircraft. The
U. S. has at present 537 military air
planes, and -the official estimate of
Japan ia identical. Experts declare
that the next war w ill be fought in
the air. And now the revenues of
Japan that went intoseacraft is turn
ed to aircraft; and within the year
w ill be completed at Nagoya a factory
to produce 600 planes a year. Japan
desires peace.
