 In 1902, Walker County cast l,318 votes for Bankhead for Congress, while lief ferson cast 4.00O for Underwood, yet lief. ferson is allowed thirty delegates in the State Convention and Walker five, not. withstanding that Walkers vote is one third as great as that of Jefferson.

 Wall Street is greatly perturbed over the determination of Secretary of the Treasury Shaw to levy on the government Repositories for the first $i5, QUO neces- sary to complete the acquisition of the Panama canal by this government. Be fore the middle of March about g., ,OOO O0O in currency will be withdrawn from the government Repositories in this city and paid over to the United States treasury, and the effect of this drain. the greatest since the civil war, Is viewed with alarm
 Banks controlled by the Standard oil Company will be the greatest sufferers by Secretary Shaw's move. Vice Presi- dent Frank Vanderlip. of the National City Bank, is still in Washington seeking to have Secretary Shaw modify his plan A trader in the stock market who will not permit his name to be used said to- day that he believed the move of Secre- tary Shaw will make a terrible amount of trouble.

They are the largest dealers in foreign exchanges in the United States. It is believed that lhey win utilize this branch or their powerful machinery to accumulate as much as possible of the money that the government is to demand from them.

The Hanover National Bank has close to $6,OOo,oOO of government money on de- pOsit. An official of the bank said today: ''The drain will, of course, be felt by the government Repositories, although nothing serious may result Losses will be incur red by some of the Repositories. and the realization by some of the banks on their securities to accumulate the cash to pay over to the United States treasury will doubtless affect speculative values in many stocks"
 An official of the Rockefeller National City Bank, which holds over $3,000,O GOO of government money, said: "The effect of Secretary Shaw's call will probably be the raising of loan rates for money. It means that the entire amount called for will be withdrawn from the country until
 it is all returned in exchange channels The shock of withdrawing $@, ,OO0.0OO will shake out a lot of stocks and values will be affected by the realization when bor- rowers are not ready to liquidate."

here, greater care must be given lest
bread and food spoil. Slices of bread
left over can be toasted and put in
paper bags. and will keep longer than
when not toasted. When reheated and
served with poached or scrambled egg,
asparagus or peas, or creamed toma-
toes over 1t. it makes a dainty dish
for breakfast. and also helps to dispose
of some of these edibles which were
left over.
Small pieces of crusts of bread should
be cut neatly into squares or diamonds
and toasted for croutons for soup. The
