And it is not so much because of th- war, snyp th South Bend man, tut owint; prmtly to psychological statf. as wrll as of a strictly mat f rial cau.-f and -fleet which Is onoountrrod eery so oftpn. "There are p'riotlk-al jrriods of Depression," .nid Mr. Campt in compnrint; conditions of thi.s year and a year ao.

Not tin Sole Calw. "F'erio-dital financial depressions have neen common as loni; as I have been in tusine.-s and lnt-r, .ure'ly. Of course, the war has put men to work on lines formerly imported In this country; war orders havo helped considerably, tut they are not the i-ole caus of the present prosperity and the prosperity of 19 IS, by any mean..

This means a preat ileal: Prosperity in other lines; plenty of work and w a eres ample for the purchasing of K'oods; lare factory -dors making work plentiful, last, but far from least. b mpt. conditions in the rural commu.iitle?, which, if any, had a reason to suffer from the weather of last summer Ixv-t on Uorn Crop. Ft. Joseph county agriculturists did lose to a prent extent on their corn crops, this lue to the cold weather of the summer and a failure of ripeniner. However, the softness of ome of the corn cause,! little financial unrest in comparison with the success of other crops. "St. Joseph county farmers have no reason to feel other than prosperous." paid Mr. Campbell. "Deposits are indicative of tetter business everywhere." said Mr. Campbell. "Money is plentiful and there is not the troutle borrowing that we found a year a so. This means a Kreat deal to the investor, large and small. and to the merchant with the heavy stock on his hands." One item of South Pond's savings was seen in the Christmas club fund, which acirreeatcd S7ö.0a. This fund was saved mostly by those with modest incomes and speaks a irreal ileal for general conditions. It is pointed out this i. but a percent of the deposits of employes in S. ut :i i'end. and that, placed weekly with amounts avoinu'in between Me cents and three dollars it speaks plainly of other and greater irenvral savings.
