CHANGED THE RULE.
State Auditor ouiIbert Surprises the
State Bank and Trust Companies

state Audttor Guftpert surprises the
State Bank and Trust Companies.
Columbus, o.. Sept. 30.-Auditor
Guilbert has surprised the state bank
and trust companies of the state by
notifying them that their usual semi
annual statements need not be fled at
the usual time this year. In doing
this Guilbert calls attention to the
amendment Of the law by the last leg
islature making these statements i'm
perative upon the demand OF the state
auditor. The amendment was made
because It was claimed by the hackers
-of the idea that state banks were con-
stantly violating state laws. and about
the only time they kept within the
law was at the dates Of the semi-an-
nual statement.
Giving the state auditor power to
call for statements at any time leaves
violators liable to be picked up at any
time without warning. Guilbert will
exercise this right under the statute.
Under the old law which has been in
operation for several years each state
bank and trust company was required
to file a report showing the condition
on the first Monday of April and Oc-
tober Just when Auditor Guilbert
will call for a statement from the
banks is not known.

of the fine old elms Of New England

size and has the general shape and

insect and its larvae feed upon the
leaves Of the elm. The beetle eats
holes in the leaves and the larvae,
which are most voracious. consume
