$9,000H andad Out To j National Bank Depositor* I Over $9,000, divided into 367 different checks was mailed out to the members of the Landis Saving club by the First National bank, Monday. This sum represents the year’s' savings of the 367 members of the club the past year, The Landis club was originated three or four years ago and since that time the total sum saved in this manner has been quite large. The total savings for. the present year was slightly under the 1916 mark, which no doubt may be attributed to the present uncertain conditions and the fact that so many of our young men have been called to the front. This club has done a great deal of good, for it has taught the younger people to save and is a good thing for the communtiy. No doubt a great portion of this money will be placed in Liberty bonds and our citizens should feel proud of the splendid showing that is being made.
