fact has been developed that they have

loading muskets. with considerable am@
munition, and are drilling regularly
under the command Of an experienced
officer. Several hundred men arc al
ready enrolled and picnics are frequent
u held to raise funds to defrsy sx-

figured in communistic mobs. and they
seem determined t. redress The imagi-

laboring. As there is strong military

Rules for Bank Customers.


The following rules are recommended
to tho attention Of those who do busi-
ness 1t the banks. They will be the
means Of saving great deal Of time
and annoyance-hy not following them
/. # you have any business with a
bank put il of until o'clock, or if
possible, 4 little later. as II looks more
businees like 70 rush 10 as the bank is
closing.
2. Never put stamps on your cheeks
before yoG get to'the bank. but give
tbe teller two cents, and ask him to
lick il and cancel it for you the teller
expects to lick al the stamps, and i. is
) source Of disappointment to him when
people insist on dsing it themselves,
and will save BIN buying his lunch.
3. In depositing money try and get
il upside down and wrong end fore
most. SO that the teller may have .
little exercise il staightening it up be-
fore counting it.
4. Il Is best not to take your bank
book with you, but call another time
and have it entered. You can thus
make two trips to the bank where one
would answer.
S. IF cheek Is made payable to your
order, be careful mol to indorse it before
handing it to the teller, but let him re-
turn it 70 you and wait while you in
dorss IL; this helps to pass the time,
and is a pleasure and relief to the teller.
6. You can generally save time when
making : deposit BY cou1sfng down
your money to the teller, as you can
nearly always count more speedily and
correctly than he ean.
II you make deposit Of 800
and give cheek for $50, it il : good
thing TO call frequently at the bank and
ask how your account stands, as it
impresses the officers favorably with
your business qualifications.
s. Never keep any record when your
notes fall dus. and then, If they are
pFotssted, censure the bank for not
giving you notice.
g. Always date your checks ahead,
4 i ) nsver-fhiling sign that you keep
good balance in bank /; or. If you do
nos wish il generally known that You
are doing good business. do not de-
posit your money until about the time
your check will be ID.
10. In depositing money never make
ont q deposit ticket. The teller has
the blanks in bis case for that. purpose,
and expects to Gil them out himself.
Il snnoys him to have you offer to do
it besides, if others are waiting, it
gives them q chance to exercise pa
tience, which is great virtue.
Il. In receiving money from teller,
never say in advance how you want it,
but hand back each note separately,
and ask him to break it.
A strict observance Of the foregoing
rules will make your account desirable
for any bank, and make you general
fayorife with sll the bank officers.

y A MERICAN EVAPORATION,
By an entirely new plan, almost instantly
dries the cut surface, preventing oxidation,
thus securing the best color, retaining the
flavor, glucose or fruit sugar, inasmuch as the
cut surface is never subjected to the steam or
vapor thrown off by subsequently inserted
trays. Our machine secures the best possible
and really the only scientific application Of
dry heat to all the trays yet introduced in the
history of drying fruits. This fact is proved
by the great capacity per square foot Of our
evaporating surface Machines in three sizes

NEW
Wheel Attachment for PlOVs.

Charles Adams, of Odessa, Delaware, has
invented an Attachment for Plows which has
been thorough tested, and gives perfect satis-
faction to all farmers who have seen it work.
1t consists of ON adjustable iron clamp or col
lar which can be attached to the beam of any
piow with which the amount of land to be
taken can be accurately gauged, to this clamp
is attached two adjustable wheels, one rum
ming in the lurrow and one on the land,
which gauges any depth of furrow desired.
The advantages of this attachment are, that
il takes uniform amount of land and holds
the plow at fixed depth without being held
by the plowman, which saves large per-
centage of draft, that it is cheap and within
the reach Of all persons needing plows, that
it can be attached to any plow in q few min
utes. These attachments are being manu-
factured by D. Woodall & Co., at Middle
town, Del, and it will be to the interest Of
the farming community to examine them.
