It is believed that the stabilization of the dollar has { been largely accomplished. How the expansion work will be created depends on the move the treasury uses the increase in the gold supply and on the pace of business men P in credit expansion. Bankers say 0< there must be confidence. As bank b' credit expands bank deposits will increase and there will be an in- A crease in commodity prices and will b< be reflected on real estate and se- e: curities. How the treasury will use the two billion dollars in gold re- lr mains to be seen. tc $12.15 Contributed J To Charity Chest ^ at Contributions amounting to $12.15 were received during the month of c< January for welfare work in War-' j> ren county, the financial report of ft Mrs. John Kerr Jr., treasurer, re- aj veals.
