Mishawaka, Ind, Feb. 1.-THE sight
OF a woman with murder in her eyes
and long dirk in her right hand, chas-
ing Edward Berry thru the dining
room of the Milburn, the leading hotel
of Mishawaka, created panic while
dinner was in progress.
Many of the city's fashionable men
and women were assembled. when the
frightened man, followed by the en-
ragged woman, rushed into the dining
hall. Tables were overturned and
dishes shattered and there was hasty
exodus of guests.
Berry finally turned upon his pur-
suer, but was terribly slashed about the
head and hands before the woman
could be disarmed by Clerk Curtis and
others. Berry declines to explain why
the murderous assault was made. The
woman has been arrested.

United States deposits, decrease. 291, $50
The banks now hold $l,527,350 in excess
of reserve requirements under the % per

The Financier says: 1.-The official state

funds, which amounted TO $40, 633, 400; In the
other form the latter were deducted from
the net deposits The computation made
upon the first named basis showed de-
crease of 1921, $50 in surplus reserve. carry
ing this item to 81 ,527, $50; the computations
upon the basis of the United States de-
posits deducted from the net deposits
showed a decrease in reserve of $S25,S25 TO
81, 6S5. 200, this reserve Ia the previous week
having been $12,Ol1.525. The loans of the
banks were increased s., 344,200, probably
the result in part of syndicate operations
during the week. The cash showed net
decrease of $3.50, 700 specie, having been aug
mented s., 06S, 300, while legal tenders fell on
N,319,OOO This net loss OF cash, notwith-
standing the large traceable receipts during
the week, can scarcely be accounted for on
the theory OF averages, and, therefore. the
loss is somewhat inexplicable.
1T seems almost certain, however, that
considering the fact that receipts were
largest after the middle of the week, the
banks were better supplied with cash than
appeared by the statement. Net deposits
increased only $164, 600, or 81 ,929.9OO less the
amount called for by the increase In loans
less the net loss or cash The United states
deposits, which were separately stated In
the return for the purpose of making COM
putations on the new basis, showed a de-
crease of S135, 900. 1t seems quite possible
that this decrease was due to the transfer
of government deposits from New York to
some of the interior depository banks.
Taken as a whole, the statement was al
most featureless. 1t does not appear that
the banks generally took advantage of the
release of reserve against the deposits of
public funds to expand their credits, at
least to any great extent IL at all, and the
statement indicated that a very conserva-
tive policy had been pursued by these insti-
buttons. The average daily clearings of the
banks $3.50. 600 ,000 against 500. 600. 900 in
the previous week. The circulation was in
creased SAIL, 600, following a gain i'm this
item in the previous week of s5S3,000 Ii
may be noted that twenty-one of the banks
chiefly those with the largest capital and
surplus, indicate an excess of loans COM

there were twenty-five banks showing such
excess, rejecting loans Of capital and sur

If man deserves censure for making
beast of himself, what shall be said of the
farmer who recently made pack horses OF
a whole herd of mild-eyed kline. In this
case it was economy rather than necessity
that was the mother of invention. The
father was an Idaho dairyman intent on
reaching Thunder mountain. where he ex-
pected to transmit milk into half-and-ha
and half-and-half into money.
1t was a little over a month ago that he
drove ten or fifteen head of cows into the
camping corral at Boise and announced
to the astonished keeper that he would
leave on the morrow for Thunder to start
a dairy. The keeper playfully suggested
that Thunder always soured milk, but the
unabashed farmer retorted cheese it," and
continued his preparations for an early
start.
The following morning he purchased the
necessary paraphernalia to operate the
dairy and then looked into the matter of
transportation. When he found what the
freight charges would be he was cowed for
a moment, especially In view of the fact
that his purse was already depleted by the
purchase Of the supplies, but he was not
to be baked in his plans, ard, with in
genuity worthy of the early pioneers. re-

That afternoon he drove his cows uptown

different stores. When all was in readiness

After numerous and futile efforts to dis
