Appreciates Her Husband,
Toledo Times.


The newspaper office receives from time
to time some odd queries and peculiar re-
quests. In the humble Judgment of the edi-
tor Of this column there is a little Toledo
woman who has all our other curiosity con-
tributors beat a mile. TO use the verbiag e
of our police reporter. She wants us to
place in the paper in a prominent place
the picture OF her spouse because He is
such a good husband" She naiVely adds
that she would like 10 write a little article
telling all about II, but If we cannot spare
the space the picture and a few words 10
explain will be sufficient. A~d this little
woman is quite honest about il. But the
precedent might be a dangerous one. for
there may be more than a dozen wives i'm
the city who think their husbands are good
enough for such a heralding, even If we do
average three or four divorces a day. To
show the native kindness of the newspaper
man the reporter 10 whom this proposition
was first made did not nave the heart 10
tell the little woman that her request was
impracticable, but took the picture and
promised TO do his best" He has been
lodging ever since

The Financier says: 'The striking feature
Of the official statement OF the New York
association banks last week was the small
loss in the reserve surplus, compared with
the previous week, this loss being only
1919. 1t is noteworthy that never before
in the history of the clearing house has so
slight a change been recorded. The loans
were reduced SS,647,00O, making s19,10S,00
during the fortnight. The reduction, as
was the case in the previous week, was
due to calls and probably also TO cancella-
lions Of syndicate and other large loans.
The specie showed a decrease Of 81, 135, 200.
while the legal tenders increased $1,066, 800,
making a net loss of s3.O6s. 400 cash. or 81
ESQ, 200 below the estimated reduction based
on the traceable movements of money dur
ing the week. The decrease in cash since
the beginning of the month has been. it
may be observed, s.2s2, 100. The deposits
were reduced by sl2. III. 300, or only $555,OO
more than the amount called for by the net
loss of cash and the decrease in loans; the
statement therefore is not very far out of
PANOA' IA lCAbAACu tSCAN0d was OduNNh
$S.0S7.S25 through the decrease in deposits.
Deducting this sum from the net loss of
cash leaves $575 decrease in surplus reserve,
which now stands at 50, TAP, 775, against SILL
9l9,925 at the corresponding date last year.
The circulation was increased $50, 200, which
gain was quite equally distributed, though
one bank augmented its circulation by $222.-
600. The daily average of clearings showed
a reduction of only 100000 compared with
the previous week.
Comparison of changes in the item of
loans shows that four Of the Wall-street
banks reduced loans by a net amount of
s., ~ ,O00; one OF these banks showed &c.
100000 and another 81, 500, 600 reduction.
Seven banks indicated a net loss of 81 $780,
600 in specie, but one of these institutions
increased this item by 81. 7O0,0 900. The state
ment was probably made up on declining
averages for cash, the outward movement
of money having been greatest in the latter
half OF the week. The return, however,
indicates that the bank managers have
adopted a very conservative policy, which
doubtless will be adhered to while the
necessity therefore exists. The surplus re
serve shown in the statement may be re-
garded as ample, at least for immediate
requirements"

CUTLERY STOLEN

BurgIarized.
Robbers Garry Away Watches, Re.
volyers, Razors and Pocket Knives,
and Leave No Clue.

F. J. Neubels hardware store, at
628 North Front street, was entered by
burglarsFriday night, who made almost
a clean sweep of the show cases.
Eight watch chains, two watches, one
or two revolvers, eighteen razors,
seventy-five pocket knives. and some
stamps and pennies were stolen. One
watch had the Century movement and
the other the Seth Thomas movement.
and both had filled gold cases. The
better grade of the knives had F. j.
Neubel's name on the blades. The
revolvers were 80 calibre and few
cartridges were taken to fit them.
Entrance was gained by breaking
through the rear doors. The thief OF
thieves tried to break the lock of the
outer door, but failed. They ther
broke the glass out, and, reaching in,
turned the key and unlocked the door
The bolt that held the inner door wal
then broken.
The burglary was discovered WneI
the store was opened this morning
The money drawer was found on thu
floor and the show cases had beer
stripped of everything except some
scissors.
There is no clue to the thief, bu
the police do not think that the burg
larry was the work of home talent.
Chief Bowen asked County Attorne.
Wilson whether the latter would en-
dorse bill for procuring and sendini

goods taken. Mr.. Wilson looked a.
the law and said that, while he woul
like to do so, he could not endorse tn
bill. The sheriff has right to SEN

not the police.
