PAGE THREE THE GAZETTE-TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 30, 1923. Where the Money Is and Who Has It Saving depoiiu In banki in the United State now approximate the tupendoua total of 18 billion dollar, deposited by a little more than 80 million periona. In 1914 the total of savings deposits was 6 billion dollars, deposited by 11 million persons. Sav ings accounts are now considerably more than three times the totals of pre-war days while the number of de positors is quite a bit less than three times as many. This savings total, equal to more than all the mony deposited in all the national banks represents largely the savings of persons of small or mod erate means. The total of all depos its in the 30300 banks in the United States is about 44 billion dollars. Of this, 27 billion dollars is in the 22,080 state banks and 17 billion dollars in the 8,220 national banks. In New England, 66 per cent of all bank de posits are in savings accounts; 61 per cent on the Pacific Coast; S per cent in the South; 47 per cent in the East Central states; 46 per cent in the Middle Atlantic states; 38 per cent in the West Central states. This great advance in thrift in the American puople is also shown in the next investment step, for 24 per cent more life insurance is being written this year than ever before and 1923 will end with probably more than 11 billion dollars of new life insurance for the year. Twenty years ago the total of life insurance in force was 10ft billion dollars. The average life insurance premium is $36 a thousand More people have more money, more life insurance and more sound invest ment securities than ever before in the United States. This country and its people are a great deal better on than they realize and infinitely bet ter off than the people of most other countries. In addition to something like 3 million automobiles they will buy this year, Americans during the first six months of 1923 spent 603 million dollars, largely obtained thru bond investments, in building new electric generating plants and trans mission lines. Cottages at Children's Home to Be Dedicated To the credit of our state be it said that after years of neglect of the de pendent child that there are now housed in two well equipped cottages of the Children's Farm Home of the W, C. T. U. forty of such little waifs as have hitherto been condemned to temporary homes, housed in sectarian Institutions or sent to daily associa tion with delinquents in institutions established for the care of those who have lost the innocence which is the rightful heritage of childhood. The Farm Home Board are congrat ulating themselves upon their good fortune in having Becured in the per son of Mr. C. T. VYedd as superinten dent, an ideal father and administra tor. With unusual grasp of the need of the work undertaken, and high ideals of the mission of the Home he has been able to organize the family collected from many counties and as many kinds of surroundings into a real family and home life. The motto of the board, "A Real Home on a Real Farm" is rapidly being made a reality. Not only are humanitarians of the state becoming more and more inter ested fn the project but hard headed business men are regarding It as one of the most foresighted business en terprises, planning as it does to do I velop those who might soon become an economic liability into a distinct economic asset. Governor Pierce in a recent letter to the Farm Home office says "I want to assure you that there is no greater work going on in Oregon than the work you are doing." The two first cottages will be for mally dedicated September fifth and a general invitation is extended to all readers of this paper to go to Cor vallis for this event. The pressing need for additional buildings, that the many children for whom applica tions are being made in increasing numbers may be housed is so great that appeals are being made for "ded ication gifts" in the hope that such will enable the management to meet this need. Inasmuch as buildings that cannot be enclosed before the rainy season begins, must be delayed until spring, no time is to be lost. It will be wise to send gifts direct to Portland Farm Home office, 615 Stock Exchange Building. These will be presentrd at the dedication. If pre ferred they can be brought or sent to the home at time of dedication.

A stock-selling scheme that worked disastrously for many victims of ir responsible oil promoters is appear ing in different parts of the country in selling other kinds of stocks. Questionable promoters are offering stock In common law trusts in an at tempt to evade Blue Sky laws which apply to selling stock in corporations. The greater danger to persons buying stock in Irresponsible common-law trusts is not that they may lose all they pay for the stock, but that they also may be liable and sued for debts contracted by the trustees. The common law trust is not a cor poratlon. It is an agreement among several persons whereby one or more nersons. usually three, are named trustees to accept the stockholders' money and run the burinoss. Usually they have complete control over the business and disposition of its money and property and con spend, or con tract debts, without Interference from stockholders. If they aro dishonest or incompetent the stockholders may lose what they put Into the stock ana in addition, courts hnve held such stockholders responsible for debts or obligations contracted by the trustees. The double loss comes on the stock holder, not the trustees. When an unwary investor buys stock In a fraudulent corporation his loss Is embraced In the amount he nuts in the stock. Creditors of the corporation cannot come to him to make good tholr claims against the corporation. Hut a common low trust l entlrolv different. Common law trusts are a business device that has. and still does serve honest business purposes, but, like every other device of Inw or society, It has boon twisted bv swlndlors and frauds to suit the) evil nurnoscs. Before Invostlng even the smallest sum, do as the great life Insurance executives do, obtnln th counsel of an established, reputable Investment banker, or of some honoHt, successful, conservative man in your community. No good Investment so eurltv will snoil. no mntlor how oago the salesman is to stnmpede you into acting at once.
