PECLER (United Press 8faff 'Correspondent) London, Jan. tlO The fighting front holds no terrors for the Y. M. C. A. Its huts are built wherever soldiers go. A. K. Yapp, general secretary, after a tour of the Br'tisii sector Is back in London today with an account of the Y. M. C. A.'o work in hous ing poldlers and providing them with simple luxuries tbat do much to mattain the buoyant spir its of the Tommies. "We have established h'ts In the catacombs of Ypres and Loos," he said, "and on eis placed in the grounds of a Trappiet monastry where the monks may never spoak. There are thers in the Somme territory recovered from the Germans, form ing little cheer-posts for Tommies amid the awful desolation and the knee deep mud of the recent bat tlefields. From the camps at the base thai hut lines extend 'way up to advanced positions of the front. We are even developing the dog out idea for housing men tempor arily and providing them with warm food and chocolate. In No vember we rave the soldiers on one twelve mile line to the front 161,230 cups of cocoa, tea and coffee.. These were men These were men going up for their turn in the attack or returning to the base camps after being relieved In the ' trenches." Many of the Y. M. C. A. establishments ar well within range of the German shell fire but these ssuahy are pro tected as well as possible by na tural concealments. WELL KNOWN HERE Herbert E.

IIUI MANAGER BAIIK STiUEIJEIIlSi IFIECIIJES . . . ... ' UNEXAMPLED , .PROSPERITY ' OF- SECTION, MIRRORED V. IN ( LARGELY INCREASING BANK DEPOSIT8 , ' HA8 RE-ORGANIZED CABINET MODELED ON COMMISSION GOVERNMENT OF AMERICAN CITIES (Bv United Press) London, Jan. 10 The Cataclysm of a world war has forced England to apply real American methods to ber government. ' Lloyd George's reorganized cabinet is but a Jori fled city council under a commis sion form of government.' Eng land, as a' nation, was foced with exactly the same problems that confronted hundreds of American citlea before the advent of the Gak veston and Des Moinos Plans for administering municipal affairs. Greet- Britain had aHoinrclr- that was un wieldly; its decisions were taken after ridiculously long de bates and the mistakes It made could not be traced to any respon sible source. Such was the con dition of affairs in Des Moines, Iowa, and other American cities during the time they labored under the old ward-council governments. English people for two yers have watched the government plle one disadventure upon another but the cost to them was not represented in money but in the lives of the na tion's best men. In one short week Lloyd George, England's strong man wiped out an inefficient, ward council plan of government and substltued the commission of five men who are held directly respon sible for' the conduct of the na tion's affairs, Each controls cer tain portions of the country's bu siness and each commissioner and ciblnet member, has been proved capable. There also Is a queer analogy between the origin of com mission form of government In Arm-rlca and in Eniland. In the year 1878, there was a scourge of yellow fever in Memphis, Tenn., due to Its pftor sanitary system. The city had Incurred a debt ennal to ltn borrowing power and the leg islature. In 1879 established a com mission to take charge of its af fairs. This was one of the flrst commission plans. In the year 1900, Galveston, Tex., was over-' whelmed by a tidal wave which prostrated the city financially. It was placed' under a commission gpvernment. In the year 1916 England was on the vergs of being overwhelmed by world war and a commission plan of government was applied to its national affairs. SHOULD NOT MARRY UNTIL HE'S 100 (By United Press . ' Kansas City, Jan. 10 Because woman forgets to have birthdays she is wiser than man, tY; Earl Flynn, health evangelist, told, his followers here. "Any man who haves a birthday after he Is T forty Is a fool," Flynri declared? Flynn, who Is 83, said that' the time Is not far distant when ' men : would : not think .of getting married until .they were one hundred years old, ! .If i nu takes care of himseff, ' he will still be a boy when he passes the century mark,'"; the Billy Sun day 6f bnth 'sail. .' "nail nl that - It Is. a story of unemampied pros perlty that Is told by the state ments of the Elizabeth City banks which - have - been . published .this .week,j-;' 'J.', v v 'h -i' . ' 'ri: , Never In the history of the town have the deposits reached such "to tals as they now show. Indeed within the last two. years the mon ey on deposit in the banks of the city- has practically doubled. THE FIRSt; NATIONAL BANK - Oldest and largest among the banking institutions of the city, having compa rati vely recently cel ebrated Jhe .passing of the quarter century mark In its . history, The First National Bank is showing all the" vigor and aggressiveness that might be expected of the youngest financial institution of this section.' It Is open 'Saturday nights, it con .stnntly 'reminds you that "small acrounts are welcome" and its Sav lngs Clubs cater to the little folk that even as children they may be taught habits of economy and thrift ;. It is not surprising that as a re sult of such a policy the First Na tional Bank's growth Is keeping pace with the progress of the town and reflecting in marked degree the prosperity that this year has come upon , this section . . Within the last two. years its deposits hay ' increased jy over,- 100sk jier. cent. At the close or business December 31st 1914 The First Na tional Bank's total deposits were $502,993.93 On December 30th 1916 the total deposits had reached the mark of $1,052,804.69 THE CITIZENS BANK Just one year ago the total re sources of, the Citizens Bank of Elizabeth City were $312,746.77. Today this bank's resources aggre gate $537,699,38. No bank In tho city has during the last six months shown so remarkable an accelera tion In its rate of growth as has this popular financial Institution. Part of this more rapid rate of growth is, of course, due to the "good times" that have lately come to this city and section but much of thfl credit must be given to a more aggressive advertising policy. Besides using space In the local pa pers liberally, the Cltlzans Bank publishes monthly a paper of . Its own called The Citizens Bank News, which la sent out regularly over a large mailing list. Mr. H. C. Newbold, the assistant cashier af the Citizens Bank, and the youngest bank cashier in the State, Is In charge of the advertis ing department, and to his origi nality and initiative belongs a large measure of the credit for the effec tiveness of the advertising done by this institution. THE 8AVING8 BANK AND TRU8T COMPANY 'Not the oldest, not the largest Just the begt" this Is the mod est slogan of the Savings Bank k Trust Company one of the strong est State banks east of Raleigh and, n point of: years, Elizabeth City's youngest banking institution. The deposits of this bank have more than doubled within the last two year period. At the close of business December' 30th 1916 this bank had on deposit 9466,996.80 as against $331,365.82 on December 31st 1914'. . Besides being the youngest bank, ths Savings Bank and Trust Company claims tbe dls Unction of being tbe first bank In the city to keep open on Saturday nights and the first to open a Christ mas Sayings Club. . This . bank )ast month paid out $21,000 to taem bers - of its. Christmas;', Savings Cluband the number of banks. In the state that, had mors club' mem bers could probably be counted . on the fingers of one hand. At its pre sent rate of growth It will approach tbe million mark In another year. r tvg jj tjr0 yCar j,cr3J 113 Both Houses Vote To Increase Governor's fi; But House Turns Down Senr.L; Measure to Make It $7,500 ami $6,500 Is Agreed Upon. : . i, (By United Press) ' s Raleigh,!
