Women
NINE TIMES OUT OF TEA,
the women are the money-savers
i I . of the family. Men mean well
enough. They Know the value
of having money in the bank,
but they haven't the knack of
saving. They haven't learned
I the trick of making one dollar do
the work of two in buying, and
of laying the other dollar away
for the rainy day that may come.
We desire to encourage these ■
thrifty women, and this is our urgent
invitation to those who may desire
to open a bank account. Our officers
and employes will be glad at all $|
times to give any information that j|j
i may be desired in reference to the
banking business. »

WAR LOANS IN ITALY.
Rome, Feb. 6.—(Correspondence of
The Associated Press)—“A man must
be either a fool or a traitor tj refuse
to subscribe to a war loan,” declared
Prime Minister Orlando in connec
tion with Italy’s fifth loan which has
brought in about $500,000,000. “The
nation needs the money to carry on
the war and if there are enough fools
and traitors among us not to sub
scribe, then the government will sim
ply take what it needs by high taxes.”
The result of the new loan, how
ever, proved satisfactory and the ex
treme measures of unusual taxes will
; not have to be applied. War loans
come to be quite a customary proceed
ing and the Italian public has each
year made new subscriptions in re
sponse to the advertising campaigns
of the secretary of the treasury and
the banks.
One of the features of the war loan
has been the frankness of the news
papers and particularly of Secretary
of the Treasury Nitti regarding fi
nancial facts. “There’s no "Use trying
to fool the public regarding national
finances,” he said. “We need the
money. We are paying nearly 6 per
In asking the people to invest in
War Savings and Thrift Stamps, the
government is not asking them to \
contribute money.

cent interest to get it. It’s a good
investment. The Italian government
will always pay its debts. It’s an in
ternational fact that it does so. As
far back as 1866, when it had to offer
eight and ten per cent interest, it
adopted the policy of standing by its
pledges, and it will always do so.”
Confidence in the Italian loans have
for several years been shown by the
Americans living in Italy.
To the present time the war has
cost Italy about $4,000,000,000, two
thirds of which money has been spent
on the army or land forces and the
other third on the navy. Of this $4,
000,000,000, $1,500,000,000 have been
raised by war loans. $500,000,000 by
taxes, and about $2,000,000,000 by
special treasury bonds placed princi
pally in England and the United
States for the purpose of paying for
war purchases.
