INTEREST is Tagging.
Members of Company F Do Not At
tend Drills Well.

Company F is getting ready for the
annual inspection and the officers are
somewhat disappointed at the grade
of work that the boys are putting up.
The members for some reason have
lost interest and it is next to lmpossi-
BILE to get out two squads for driu.
The existing conditions might be far
more discouraging were it not for the
fact that this same condition seems
to exist in the state guard generally.
Complaints are heard from officers in
all parts of the state.
1t is possible for the boys to take
brace and round into good form by
the inspection time, but to accomplish
this there must be better attendance
al drills. Drilling is hard work ana
much is required under the existing
regulations. A company man can be
nothing else in these days and he
must almost make his military affairs
second to nothing. This fact perhaps
more than anything else is blamewor-
thy of the present crisis in the local
company.

OPENING OF TRADE.
COMPLAINT OF BAD ROADS AT

rHE sETBACK IS NoT SERIOUS
Benefit to Crops More Than Offsets
All Injury - Wholesale Indus
tries Moving and Building
Trades Active.

New York, March 17.--Bradstreet's
says: "The widespread winter storm
has delayed the opening OF spring trade
at retail. causing come complaint OF
bad roads and interruption TO personal
buying at leading jobbing centers. On
the other hand. the benefits Of accom-
panying heavy SHOWS or rains to the
crops probably far outweigh the dam
age due to this cause, or injury caused
to small fruit and truck interests by
the freezing weather. Wholesale trade
and industry show no signs Of hesita-
ton, and even the building trades have
given little heed to the temporary
weather setback, In view OF the Inn
mense business for spring and summer
offering. The coal strike situation Is
still flaw in the situation, but signs
OF the conflict being localized are seen,
and a general suspension Of all work Is
secuted. Iobhing trade e. ie. dd::rn; scss z-
ters is large, and recorders for spring
delivery are already reported at vest
ern centers; railway earnings for Feb
ruary and tle first half of March break
all records for this season. Collections
are classed as fair to good, export trade
is of large midwinter volume, and
there are signs, tnat lowered pisces Of
cereals have found response in inn
proved foreign buying"
r. G. Dun G. Co.'S Weekly Review OF
Trade says: Wholesome conditions
are maintained in commercial chan
nels, the tenor OF most reports being
favorable, and comparatively little
anxiety is felt regarding the labor sit
uation. New projects are constantly
appearing, calling for much capital and
giving employment to many wage earn
ers. Several scales have been signed
that provide for higher wages after this
month. and the genera! prosperity OF
the winter is believed to assure very
large retail trade in spring wearing APP
parel. Manufacturing returns from the
leading industries continue favorable,
the weeks feature being .record-break-
ing sales Of leather. while the steel
mills and iron furnaces operate at full
capacity, the demand for lumber ex-
ceeds the supply, and glass factories
sTo preparing to advance quotations.
Exports of farm staples in February
exceeded last years by $23.500. 900. or
about As per cent.
Failures this week numbered 229 in

year, and "a in Canada, compared with

SHAW IS GUARD
OVER TREASURY
ACTION IN RELEASING $4,000, 900
SHOWS CARE.
DECREASE IUE 70 JUDGEMENT
More Deposits Of Public Funds In
National Banks Has Relieved
observation-disclosures Have
Wiped Out Deficit.

Washington, d. c., March 1.-THE
action Of Secretary Shaw, Of the treas
ury department, in authorizing the
distribution through national bank de-
positories of s1O,O0O,O00 of public
fInds, all OF which was placed this
week, is regarded by the financiers
here as evidence of tie scrupulous
care exercised by the secretary in
keeping close track of the operation
of government finances and revenues
and their effect upon the business in
terests of the country. He is becom-
ing noted as the Watchdog of the
treasury.
"A twenty-year peliod, beginning IN
1863, when the banks were first organ
lied, extended to 1883, and another
twenty-year period to 1908. The char
tiers Of approximately 250 banks expir-
ing in 1903 were renewed and the
banks became subject to the proyis-
ions of an act passed in 1882, which
requires extended banks to deposit
lawful money to the amount Of their
outstanding circulation. These de-
posits of lawful money had the effect
to concentrate during February some
thing more than $7,u0U,oOo.
Secretary Shaw believed that in this
condition Of affairs it was desirable to
increase deposits Of public funds in
national banks to relieve any conges-
ton possibly created by these depos-
its Of lawful money. In addition to
the deposits of lawful money by ma
tional banks there were other causes
contributing to the centralizing OF
money in the sub-treasuries, among
which was the substantial increase in
customs and internal revenue collec-
lions during the past two months.
- Wiped out the Deficit.
The effect of these increases in rev
enues has been to wipe out the treas
ury deficit for the fiscal year, which
began last July. BY increasing the
deposit of public funds in the national
bank repositories by $10,000,00O Sec
rotary Shaw doubtless contributed ma
terially to relieve this congestion OF
money.
The indications are that if the pub
lie revenues continue to come in as
strong during the balance Of the fisca.
year there may be requirements for
additional deposits of public funds in
the banks. With the amount carried
into the repositories by this last order
of the department, the aggregate
amount deposited to the credit of the
United States treasury in the banks
will be about s67,OOO,O0O. 1t is prob
abe that at the end of the fiscal year
when appropriations by congress comt
due, considerable amount of public
money will be put out to meet the
first payments under the appropria
lions made by the present congress.

FEED A REGIMENT.
Eight Hundred People Attend st. Pat
rick's Supper of Catholic Ladies.

At the annual st. Patrick's day sup,
per Saturday evening in Armory hall

church fed according to the estimates
of those in charge, fully eight hun
dred people. The monster supper was
the largest and most successful
church supper eyer given in Oskaloo-
sa The ladies fed regiment. The
first suppers were served at five
O'Clock, and from that time until eight
the big hall was thronged with guests
of st. Mary's parish. About five-thir-
ty the big stores of the city began
sending their clerks over to the sup
per and between that hour and SIX
thirty, hungry ones waited sometimes
two and three deep about the tables,
awaiting the opportunity to partake
of the meal.
For once the Catholic ladies were
almost caught mapping. They had
not expected over six hundred guests.
Eighteen gallons of baked beans fed
only about three-fourths Of the
guests. Eleven gallons of Dennis Ra.
gems slaw" which is the masterpiece
of the Catholic supper, was sufficient
to serve to about half the number
present But even those who were
late understood and found no fault
with what of the menu remained.
OF the committee of ladies having
the supper in charge, Mrs. Richard
Burke was chairman, and was cor.
daily assisted not only by each lady
of the parish, but by Dennis Ragen,
whose help in the management was
invaluable Ed Duffy and E. c. John

wore fantastic hats Of green that at
tracted considerable attention, and

HIS OWN TAX FERRET.
Mr.. Busby Makes Complaint Where
Property Is Overlooked.

Mahaska county is just $274.00 rich
er this year by having 44,iJah Busby
Of Rose Hill among its citizens. Mr..
Busby yesterday paid into eAe county
treasury Szfa.uu TAX which did not APP
pear against him upon the county's
tax books, and went home 10 Rose Hill
declaring that he would rest better
for knowing that he had done his duty.
When tax dodging is reduced to fine
art as now, such sterling citizenship
is so remarkable as to have OCCASION
ed much surprise among the county
officers who were parties to the trans
action.
Elijah Busby is the father Of John
Busby, cashier Of the Rose Hill bank,
and from the books in has sons pos
session discovered that he was NOT
assessed last year with $500 cash
which he lad on hands. He ip1neol-
ately came before county Auditor
Doak and complained that he had not
been assessed properly.
The fact was due to mistake. Mr..
Busby had been owner Of farm in
another township, when he was as
sessed, and in a few days sold the
farm, which was entered for taxation
against the new owner. The money
received was not assessed against
him.
He ascertained the amount of the
tax due CT that amount, and then de-
clared his determination to pay taxes
upon $500 personal property which
had been exempted because he was
an old soldier. The tax had been sent
to Oskaloosa by another party and
Mr. Busby's messenger had accepted
the exemption. 1T was not right, "
declared the old gentleman, II am
worth more than s5,O00.00 and am not
entitled to exemption" The tax on
this amount was added to that on the
$500 and Mr.. Busby went into the
treasurer's office in company with
Auditor Doak and paid in $4,000 OF
one-half of his taxes. 1.-THE other
half will be paid next fall" he said
and I'll sleep better and rest better
from now till then"

How success was won.

In speaking Of the success of the
Manning & Epperson State Bank the
Eddyyille Tribune says that during
the past year the bank has brought
its deposits up to over quarter Of a
million dollars. Much Of this increase
in deposits is no doubt due to the lib
eral use OF printe-s' ink In the form
OF well written ads in the Tribune, ire
quent changes being made. On Feb
ruary 26 last their cash in reserve
amounted to over s10O,0oO.0O, and de-
posits $3.50, 10000.
