BANK DEPOSITS SHOW INGREASE IN LAST YEAR

(n Spite of War Financing Local People Have More Money Than Before War. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. July 19. Fred A. Sims of the State Board of Tax Commissioners, today made public a letter from L. S. Bowiian, auditor of Wayne county, in which it was clearly shown that from the tax reports of Wayne county, the bank deposits in that county even with all the demands made by war financing, have shown a tremendous increase this year over last. Similar reports have come in from many parts of Indiana and State Liberty Loan officials are authority for the statement that thus far Indiana has met every demand made upon her In a financial way, by the war, and still has more money in the pockets of her people than was the case during the period immediately before the war began. During the Third Liberty Loan campaign it was brought out in many counties that banking resources had increased ever a similar period in former years, even though the first and second Liberty Loan campaigns apparently had taken millions from the pockets of the people by government war needs. Country Districts Prosperous. Mr. Bowman's letter to the State Board of Tax Commslsloners shows that the bank deposits of the 19 banking Institutions in Wayne county for the years 1917 and 1918 are as follows: March 1, 1918 ...$9,550,188 March 1, 1917 J8.829.665

Gain in deposits $ 720,502 Mr. Bowman's letter says, "These tabulations show that last year the country districts were much more prosperous than the City of Richmond. "The bank deposits indicate this also, as the largest increases were shown by the banks in smaller towns.

They also indicate that we are making

money raster than we can spend it, in

cluding our war donations and invest

ments."

It is believed that reports from practically every county in the state, to

Liberty Loan state headquarters will

show a similar condition existing

throughout Indiana. Figures also included in Mr. Bow

man's letter to the State Board of

Tax ComnijDsloners bearing on the same subject show that the tax payers

who list "Money on Hand" when their

property was valued for taxation this year, and the amount of cash on hend given in by the tax payers this year, increased enormously over the year previous. In Wayne county, for example, 196 more persons reported to the tax officials that they had money on hand than reported the same item in 1917, and the total amount of money on hand reported to the tax officials in that county this year showed a net gain of approximately 10 per cent State Liberty Loan officials pointed to these figures as backing up the assertions that have been made since

the government's war financing plans became a center of interest in Indi

ana. The war with all its horrors and all its hardships is leaving the people of the state generally with more money in their pockets than ever before. Because of this condition it is believed that future Liberty Loan bond issues and similar war finance projects will find increasingly easier sailing in Indiana.

SERIOUS LABOR DISPUTES IN ENGLAND

LONDON, July 19. A labor dispute which may lead to a serious situation

has been begun in Coventry and other

centers says an announcement issued by the ministry of munitions today. A lacge number of skilled munition workers, it is stated, has handed in notices which take effect next week. The ministry explained that the threatened strike does not arise from any difference betwen the employers

and workmen but from the action of

the government in seeing that skilled

labor was fairly divided among the rnu

nitlon firms. This has brought abou

a great deal of understanding which

effort was being made to remove.

WORKMEN MAY ORGANIZE FOR HIGHERJAGES Prelminary Meeting Thursday Night Addressed by District Labor Organizer.

Richmond working men may be organized at a meeting to be held at the Coliseum next Thursday night, in an effort to obtain higher wages. The meeting will be open to the general public and facts concerning the present scale of wages in the city will be presented by various speakers. Preliminary plans for the organization of the men were made at a meeting held in the circuit court room at the court house Thursday night. More than 150 workers attended the meeting. Councilman A. J. Ford presided. Robert L. Graham, district organizer of the American Federation of Labor, in a brief talk before the men, claimed that the scale of wages paid Richmond workers was far below that paid by manufacturers in other cities, especially those manufacturers making materials for the government. "Richmond employers advertise for 'patriotic' men to do government work and then pay thm 35 or 40 cents an hour while they could receive as high as 70 cents an hour In other cities," Graham asserted He urged that the rnen organize a chapter under the American Federation of Labor.

City Councilman Ford, who presided, j

declared that workers here could not "live" and support a family "decently" on the present wage scale. He contended that a worker here could not "live" and "be honest" unless he received at least $4 a day. W. W. Reller, chairman of the Wayne County Council of Defense, urged the men to investigate conditions thoroughly before they attacked

their employers. He urged that they "get together" with ' their employers and see If an agreement could be reached. While manufacturers in other cities are paying higher wages, the cost of living In those cities. Is likewise Increased. A committee composed of R. L. Graham, C. L. Summerson and W. W. Reller was appointed to make plans for the meeting to be held next Thursday night at the Coliseum. Richard Wigmore, foreman of the Simplex Tool company, made a brief talk in which he urged a closer relationship between employer and employe.

ITCHING, SCRATCHING, SKIN DISEASES THAT BURN LIKE FLAMES OF FIRE

HERE IS A SENSIBLE TREATMENT THAT GETS PROMPT RESULTS For real, downright, harrassing, discomfort, very few disorders can approach so-called skin diseases, such as Eczema, Teter, Boils, eruptions, scaly irritations and similar skin troubles, notwithstanding the lavish use of salves, lotions, washes, and other treatment applied externally to the irritated parts. No one ever heard of a person being afflicted with any form of skin disease whose blood was in good condition. Therefore, it is but logical to conclude that the proper method of treatment for pimples, blotches, sores, boils, rough, red and scaly skin, is to

purify the blood and remove the tiny germs of pollution that break through and manifest their presence on the surface of the skin. People in all parts of the country have written us how they were completely rid of every trace of these disorders by the use of S. S. S., the matchless, purely vegetable, blood purifier. 8. S. S. goes directly to the center of the blood supply, and purifies and cleances it of every vestige of foreign matter, giving a clear and ruddy complexion that indicates perfect health.
