HAYES & HAYES, BANKERS
incorporated
4 Large and Important Private
Bank.

1t is conceded by every one well
enough informed to express an OPP
inion that few cities on the Pacific
coast have as grand prospects for
certain growth as Aberdeen. This
upbuilding and development is al
ready under way. Aberdeen is
growing fast, and the certain ad-
dition of new manufacturing enter
prises (already assured) must re-
suit in constantly increasing pop
ulatiOn.
To a city that is so thoroughly
experiencing the prosperity of in
dustrial development, the possess
ion of strong banks is an absolute
necessity.
The general pubic is sometimes
slow to accord to the banks due
credit for community upbuilding,
largely because of lack of infor
nation on the subject.
In Aberdeen, however, the in
fluence of the banking house of
Hayes & Hayes toward business
growth has been too self-evident to
be unobserved. While conservative
and carefully managed, its policy
has always been IL extend to its
customers every reasonable accom-
mediation considered with the rules
of safe banking. Many local in
dustrial and business enterprises
have been by it encouraged and
fostered and no movement toward
community advancement has lack
ed this banks hearty support.
Established in 1890, the bank
has for fifteen years continuously
done business in Aberdeen, never
having closed its doors save on
legal holidays. never having repu-
dated an obligation and having
weathered financial storms and
periods of panic and depression
that brought disaster to banks all
throughout the United States. 1t is
record that can mean but one
thing-ability of management and
a careful adherence to conservative
methods.
The attractive frame building
long occupied by the bank was
swept away by the great fire Of
1908, and after doing business In
temporary quarters for awhile,
Hayes & Hayes erected one Of the
finest buildings in Aberdeen where
the banking rooms are now locat-

only costumes strictly in the mode,
correct in every detail of construc-
ton and of fabric, but garments
that aid in the individuality of APP
pearance-and end sought by all
who recognize the value of dress.
Exclusive dress patterns, no two

one. Selections may be made in
the absolute confidence that the

AGED JURIST DEAD.
Judge Henry W. BIodgett Passes
Away at His Home in Wau-
kegan on Thursday.
WELL KNOWN IN KENOsHA.

Henry W. B1odgtt for twenty-five
years a United States Judge and one
of the best known men in this section
of the country died at his home in
Wankegan Thursday Feb. 9, aged SO
years. His death was due to general
disability the natural breaking down
of his advanced age. His connection
with the Northwestern road in the
early days made him known to all the
older residents of this county and he
has always kept up this acquaintance.
Mrs. Lansing Warren and Miss
Carrie B1odgett, his two daughters,
and the only survivors among his i'm
mediate family, were with him when
he died. Former Judge B1odgett was
born in Amherst, Mass, July 81, 1921,
and was brought West by his parents
at the age of 10 years. He received a
backwoods public school education in
Will and Dupage counties, and COM
menced the study of law in 1912, read
ing IN the Offices of J. Y. Scammon
and Norman B. Judd of Chicago. He
was admitted to the bar in 1845, and
began practice in Waukegan, then
called Little Fort In 1852 he was
elected to the state legislature, served
two terms and then was returned as a
state senator, which office he held for
four terms. In 1855 he became iden-
tilted with the legal department Of the
Chicago and North Western Railroad,
of which corporation he was one of
the projectors. He afterward became
solicitor for the Michigan Southern,
Fort Wayne and Rock Island rail-
roads, but retired from his work
when appointed to the bench of the
northern district of Illinois by Presi-
dent Grant. While on the bench
many of the leading lawyers of the
state and of the nation practiced in
his court, among them being Roscoe
ConklingJ Robt. G. Ingerso11, Melville
w. Fuller, Lyman Trumbull, James
r. Doo1itt1e and Matt HI. Carpenter.
Judge B1odgett sat as "a criminal,
common law, admiralty, chancery and
bankruptcy judge, and presided over
many famous cases. Judge B1odgett
was appointed a member of the United
States Court of Appeals in 1891. He
resigned, however, when chosen as
one of the attorneys for the United
States before the Bering Sea arbitra-
ton tribunal. After the adjustment
Of this international dispute, Aug. IS,
1893, he retired to his home in Wau-
kegan, where he spent his declining
days. The funeral was held from
the residence at $3.50 p. m. Saturday.

Executor Of the Estate Of w. W.
Cooper Ordered to Pay Over
a Large Sum to Heirs.
SECURITIES TURNED OVER
Assets of Estate That is Not Imnedi-
ate1y Available Ordered Delivered
to the Heirs by the Court-Admin-
istrator to Pay $4,000 Note.

Under the terms of an introductory
decree ordered entered late Wednes-
day afternoon by Judge S1osson, II.
). Cooper, the executor of the estate
OF the late w. w. Cooper, is required
to turn over to the heirs at law of the
estate the sum of $50, 900 in cash out
right, and as much more as in his opin-
ion the condition of the finances of
the estate will warrant. This large
sum IN ready money is to be paid over
immediately to Mrs. Cooper, the wild
ow, and to Mrs. Maud Cooper-B eachel,
the only daughter of the deceased.
The executor is further empowered to
delivered to the heirs certain other
bonds, stocks and securities of various
kinds belonging to the estate, the
value of which is in doubt. BY a
strict construction of the terms of the
will 1t would be necessary for the ex-
ecutor to convert these securities into
cash at once, but in the opinion of the
court the estate would suffer serious
loss II the securities in question had

forced sale, and the executor is there
fore ordered in the decree to turn
them over to the heirs who can then
take their own time to market them.
These assets are of little or no value
at the present time, but there is a
reason to believe that they may be-
come very valuable in the future if
the heirs hold them. AT hearing in
the estate held Wednesday Judge
Slosson decided that the administra-
tor of the estate would haze to pay
note for SIS, 0C0 endorsed by Mr.. Cooper
only three days before his death and
turned over to the Black Cat Garter
company. 1t is possible, but not
probable that this ruling may be con-
tested by, the heirs. A number of the
smaller claims were ordered paid by
the administrator. The balance re-
naming in the hands of the court is
ample to meet any claims that may be
allowed in the future against the es-
tate as the result of the failure of the
Black Cat Garter company.

Notwithstanding thesfact that the

that postoffice employees area1iable to

wrong boxes, the excuse that the man
who is caught taking mail that does

government. Postmasters have been
notified by the postal authorities that
a penalty of $40 fine has been pro-
vided for people who take mail other
than their own out of any office and
fail to return it. The object of the
law is to force people to look over
their mail before they leave the Of

er than their own in their possession
they may return it at once. The rule
applies to newspapers as well as let
