 If they are held to be illegal because of Cashier Andrews having certified to them without the knowledge of the di- reetors it is thought that the assets of the City Savings Bank with what has been turned over to it by F c. Andrews. Will be suffieinet to pay depositors in full
 On the contrary, if they are held to be legal it will take just that amount from the depositors.
 President F. c. Pingree said today that he believed that the checks would be de- cided Illegal and that the depositors would receive at least 75 cents on the dollar
 In the statement prepared yesterday of the banks condition these certified checks were ignored.
 r. C. Andrews has not turned over to the City Bank any of the securities he took out of the other banks with the over-certified checks and their where abouts is not known.

A Benefit to Farmers.

The benefits that will undoubtedly
result to farmers from the recent in
corporation of the International Har-
vester Company which took over the
business of the five leading harvester
manufacturers have probably not been
considered by a large portion OF the
farming community.
The economical necessity Of consoli-
dation OF the interests of manufacture
ers and those of their farmer custo-
mers must be apparent to any one who
understands the present situation.
The increased and increasing cost or
material, manufacturing and selling
the latter in consequence of extreme
and bitter competition between manu-
facturers and their several selling
agents-has made the business unprof-
table.
The two alternatives left for the
manufacturers were either the increas-
ing Of the prices Of machines or the
reduction of the cost of manufacture
and sales. The latter could only be
accomplished by concentrating the
business in one company.
AS can readily be seen, the forming
Of the new company was not stock
jobbing operation but centering OF
mutual interests. There is no watered
stock; the capitalization is conserva-
tive and represented by actual and
tangible assets There is no stock Of
fered to the public, it having all been
subscribed and paid for by the manu-
facturers and their associates.
The management of the international
Harvester Company is in the hands Of
well-known, experienced men.
The officers are: President Cyrus
H. Mccormick; Chairman Executive
Committee, Charles Deering; Chairman
Finance Committee, George w. Per-
kins; Vice Presidents, Harold +. Nc
Cormick, James Deering, VIM. 81.
Jones and John j. Glessner; Secretary
and Treasurer, Richard F. Howe. The
members of the Board of Directors are
as follows: Cyrus Bentley, William

The international Harvester Com
pany owns five of the largest harvester
plants in existence, The Champion,
Deering, Mccormick, Milwaukee and
Plano-plants that have been produc-
ing nearly or quite 80 per cent of the
harvesting machines of the world.
| 1t also owns timber and coal lands,
/ blast furnaces and a steel plant; it has
new factory in the process of con-
| struction in Canada.
! 1t is believed that the cost of pro-
ducing grain. grass and corn harvest
/ ing machines will be so reduced that
the present low prices can be contiu-
ued, and that consequently the results
cannot be otherwise than beneficial to
