If small national backs are to be en-
couraged in the more sparsely settled
portions of the country, the question
arises whether they should be purely
local organizations or branches Of the
great metropolitan banks. The old Unit
ed States bank had branches which, by
virtue Of thcir connection with large
central institution, had some advan-
tages over the local banks with which
they competed, but were in more than
one instance the objects Of adverse state
Legislation. This spirit Of local hostility
to bank located in another city, and
perhaps another state, left memories
which still survive and which account
in part for the opposition to branch
banks.
But the experience of England and
Scotland, Canada and Australia, is
strongly and uniformly in favor Of large
central banks with many branches. The
banks of Canada are able to maintain a
singular uniformity d the rates Of in
terest in the great commercial centers
and in the remote agricultural regions
because the banks of Montreal and To-
ronto have their branches in Manitoba
and the Pacific region and can transfer
the surplus capital Of one locality to
meet the deficiency in another as it can
not be done by wholly independent
banks. The conditions in Canada are
very much like those Of the United
States, and the success Of the Canadian
banks in doing what we recognize the
Importance of having done is entitled to
great weight in our considerations. In
Scotland it is well known that the
branch system has greatly favored those
agricultural interests which in our own
country are SO much in need Of financial
accommodation.
The preponderance of financial testi-
mony is decidedly in favor of the branch
system, most of the opposition to which
comes, or would come, from local finan-
cial interests, jealous Of strong outside
competition. There is feeling of dis
trust of all banks which is born of ig-
norance. 1t increases rapidly with the
increase of a banks capital and the ex-
tension of its operations which are sup
posed to prove the bank to be monop
oly.-Iron Age.

DONT'S FOR THE GARDENER.

Don't crowd your seeds. Plant them
one at time II large enough to handle
individually, and you will get twice as
many seedlings.
Don't forget to spray your seed boxes
regularly. Lack OF care in watering
is productive of more failures in flower
raising than any other one cause.
box unless their habits and time of
termination are the same. Growing
PLAINTIFFS require more water than
terminating seeds.
Don't fail to label your seed boxes and
to indicate where the rows are planted,
SO that you will know whether weeds
or flowers are coming up.
Don't let the temperature get be-
low 40 degrees in the room where you
keep your seed boxes. Seeds grow best
in room in which the temperature is
kept moist and at am even temperature
of about 70 degrees.
Don't place your seed boxes in the di-
rect sunlight until the seeds have
sprouted. Keep them in light situa-
ton, however. Heat is more essential
than light to seeds; light is essential to
the development OF plantlets. The
young plant is, however, as tender as
an infant, and must not be rudely ex-
posed to the glare of a hot sun all day.
Watch carefully for dropping leaves,
which are sure sign that the plants
have had a sufficient sun bath and need
rest and water.-N. Y. Weekly.

A press dispatch from Bennington

A press dispatch from Bennington
says: Wendell Rice, 65, and Georgi-
ana Mcdonald, l6, have run away
together and are supposed to be in
Canada now. The couple went away
together about two two years ago to
Hardwick, where they lived together
as man and wife until arrested there
for adultery. They were placed I'M
der $500 bonds to appear at the June
term of the Caledonia County court,
the bail being furnished by Rice's son
who went to Hardwick and brought
both back here. The old man has
lived with him since, and the girl with
her father. They have managed to
meet often, and the son, learning of
1t, tried to withdraw the bail, but be-
fore he could get word to the court
the couple left. They will probably
keep out of this country. The girl
appears to be completely infatuated
with the old man.

Gently the Western Vermont Con-
gregational club held two meetings at
Burlington. Theodore F. Seward of
New York, founder of the brother
hood of Christian Unity, was present.
The evening session was taken up by
Mr.. Seward, his subject being "The
McClaren life creed as an aid to in
dependent thinking" saying: "We
of the city should seize truth where
ever found, whether in the talk OF
writings of an inidel or in those OF
the priest. We should do little
thinking on our own account.
"We have been in the habit Of
speaking of the Christian nations OF
the earth. Let us drop it now there
is not Christian nation on earth
Every nation is dominated by selfish
ness in its International relations
AS in nations, so in business, ever,
mans hand is at his neighbours throat
We manufacture everything excep

tian spirit must be accepted to mem
bership. Unity is impossible on tn
basis of theology which denies tn
fatherhood of God and the brother
hood of man."
