.NEWBANK FOR SAL EN-
Bank of Salem Will Open Its Doors
to the Public About the
First of March.
CAPITAL PLACED AT $4,000.
Fraak s. Komp, of this City. Is the Presi-
dent and j. A. Foster, Formerly of the
Davy Company, LIS the Cashier.

The village of Salem, out in the
western part of the county, will in a
short time be able to look down on the
other villages in the county, as ar
engagements are being made for the
opening of the "Bank of Salem" a
new financial institution in the county.
The opening will take place about the
first of March, and it is expected that
the new bank will cause quite furore
in the western part of the county.
The company promoting the bank
has been organized with capital
stock of ten thousand dollars and the
bank is being organized under the
regular State banking laws. Frank
S. Komp, president of the Kenosha
State Bank, is the president of the
new Salem bank, and j. A. Foster, Jr.
who recently resigned his position
with the Davy Clay Ballast company,
will be the cashier of the bank.
The bank will be located in the Fos-
ter building. It will do general
banking business, and will be able to
handle all kinds of business handled
by the banks of the city. It is said
that the new bank will have an ample
financial backing, and that it has al
ready been assured good patronage.
In the winter many of the ice COM
panies employ large forces of men on
the lakes about Salem, and in the sum-
mer the summer resorts bring many
people from the cities to the lakes.
These people will all aid in support
ing the bank. Besides this, it is re-
ported that the bank will get quite a
little business from the town of Bris-
toll, as it will be easier for the farmers
to go to Salem than for them to come
to Kenosha.
Mr.. Foster, who is to be the Cashier
of the new bank, is we'll known in Sa-
lem and the surrounding territory. He
is member of the Foster Merca ntile
Company. He has been educated for
the banking business at the College of
Commerce in this city and for the past
few years he has been in the employ of
the Davy Clay Ballast Company. Mr..

man and there is no doubt but that the
bank will succeed under his manage
ment.
At the same time of the opening of
the Salem Bank new bank will be
opened at Wauconda, Lake county. Ill.
This will be known as the Wauconda
State Bank. The officials will be:
F. s. Komp. President, and Harry O.
VanHart, Cashier. The capital stock
of this bank will be $4,000.

IMPORTANT TO FARMERS,

Ali Wisconsin farmers have, with
out doubt, noticed smutted heads of
oats in their fields from time to time,
but probably few of them realized the
enormous loss due to this fungous
pest. The Experiment Station at
Madison has been carefully investi-
eating the subject for several years
past, and last season it studied smut
in oat fields in a large number of
counties in the State. From those
studies it estimates that the loss to the
oat crop for the whole State amounts
to II per cent.-that is, our farmers
might have had seventeen bushels
more of oats for every hundred that
they actually secured. The Station
estimates that the total loss due to oat
smut last season was at least five mill
lion dollars. 1t was found during these
visits to farms that many oat raisers
thought they had little or no smut in
their crop, yet when it was carefully
exa mined losses we're found ranging
from five to thirty-fve per cent.
A perfect remedy for oat smut is an
nounced by the Experiment Station,
which tells us that the chemical used
costs but one cent for each bushel of
seed oats treated. Our farmer readers
wishing to know in full of the treat
ment for oat smut should send postal
card to Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, Madison, Wis, asking for copy
of bulletin SO, which gives full direc-
tions for treating seed oats to prevent

NO NEWS OF STANLEY.
Explorer of Turf Renown is Missing In the
Wilds of New York

Wilds of New York.
The Kenosha investors with Stanley
& Company, the New York get-rich-
quick concern, have about given up
all hopes of ever hearing from their
investments again and there is now
more of the waiting and crashing of
teeth which followed the failure of the
western companies few weeks ago.
Two long weeks have passed since
the Stanley company laid it's dividends
at the feet OF the Kenosha suckers,
and the 20 per cent which they had
hoped for will probably never come.
Some of the people in this city have
attempted to get money out of the
company but the word has been sent
back that the officers of the company
have not been found. One man sent
down for his money by another COM
pany and received sthe word that the
company had gone out of business.
The loss from Stanley & Co. will be
the largest that has affected Kenosha
in the long list of raids on the turf in
vesting concerns. The immense divi-
dends paid by the Stanley company
forced the Kenosha money to flow into
the Golfers of the company and MANY
| people who had their money with
Benedict & Co. and similar companies
withdrew to get the larger dividends.
Not one cent of this money came back
to Kenosha after the final break of the
turf investment bubble and it is esti-
mated that not less than $4,000 of Ke-
nosha money is tied up in the Stanley
books, wherever they may be.
Stanley made no promises to his
customers and for this reason the
latter have no redress in the matter.
He simply claimed to play the money
on the races and if the books could be
found he,wou1d undoubtedly be able to
show that every cent had been played
and lost before the time came for the
final departure. Much of the money
sent in from Kenosha was in the form
of pools raised among the working
boys and girls in the city the losses
being largely small ones. The agent
of the company in the city sent 100
the week before the bursting of the
| bubble.
Gardiner & Co., another one of the
New York companies, seems to have
also been lost in the shuttle as no trace
of the. company or any of it's officers
can be found. Gardiner carried few
thousands of Kenosha money.
The Benedict & Co. fiasco seems to
have ended and the Police Chief of
Chicago has given the lie to the cir
cular which is being sent out by the
company in which it is claimed that
Benedict & Co. are not being held by
the police of the city. The Chief of
Police in Chicago has given out the
statement that Benedict & Co. are be.
ing watched as closely as any other
company and that the return of the
books was made for the sole purpose
of allowing some few Of the dupes OF
the company to get their money back
The days of grace granted by Ben.
edict & Co. were we'll taken by the Ke.
nosha people and it is claimed that an
examination of the books of the com.
pany shows but $1,765 of Kenosha
money in the hands of the company
The greatest loss to the city will be
through the failure of this Stanley
company which at the present time
seems to have failed beyond recall.

He talked and talked to them, but
they would not believe that the idea
was good one.
"Well, then, know what will do"
he cried boldly. Il will go alone and
release all the birds that are kept in
cages in the bird store and at private
homes"
So he put on his uniform and buckled
on his sword and started off, feeling
that he was a very mighty fellow in
deed.
Now there isn't very much more to
my story except this: AS soon as the
bird store man saw him coming he got
out a big net and threw it over the
adjutant birds head Then he took
off the birds sword and pretty uniform
and put him in cage with his other
birds. And not long after that the ad-
jutant bird was sold to lady, who
hung him up in her parlor to show her
friends what fine creature he was.
