delane sheep for shipment to his large
ranches in the Northwest On Saturday he
shipped ninety bucks. some of which were
purchased from the flock of John Ward who
has for a long time made a speciality of

stock. He is the owner of nineteen sections
of land in Wyoming, on which he mostly
herds his numerous flocks, besides awaiting

The scheme of the money powers 20
ruin the United States in particular and the

The closing of the First National Bank of
this city does not prove that there is no
use for money now. 1t only shows that there
is not sufficient field for its use in New AL
bany. The men who own the capital of that
bank do not expect it to lie idle. They will
transfer it to some other field where they ex-
pect to it to be more profitable to them. The
deposits will go into the other banks of this
city and will be ready for use when new
enterprises call for money, for, though there
is not now, there will be a field for the use
of more money right here. The capital OF
the First National Bank will go where pros
perity has already developed or else become
the germ from which shall grow new enter
prises in New Albany-New Albany Trib-
