that the first deposit made In this bank
was the sum of shillings, handed over
the counter by boy. The bank was
entitled, ''The Savings Fund Society of
Philadelphia" The first bank Of this
kind established in New York was
chartered Nov. %, 1916, and went into
business July 3, 1910.

Waterloo is the grasp of the lum-
ber trust. The price of material for
frame buildings is forty per cent
higher in this city than in other
points in the state and this is due
directly TO combination between
the lumber companies Of this city to
boost the price in order TO make up
for losses incurred last year while
cutting prices to force wayward
lea!er into the combine. This COM
bination having for its object the
setting OF a scale of exorbitant prices
and profits that should be declared
illegal is as strong in its territory
and as arbitrary in it's methods as
the beef trust or the great railway
combine that was declared illegal by
the United States supreme court af-
ter the president had waged war
upon it. Its effect upon improve
ment in the city of Waterloo is de-
moralizing. Slowly and surely it is
crushing the growth out of the city
like a giant constructor. This great
business tantalus should be brought
to stop by the law and forced to
desist from a policy that will ulti-
nlately kill the city of Waterloo

The contesting of Delaware.

1t is a significant fact that the no.
tice Of contest filed against the Della
ware county delegation to the repub-
lican state convention was not sign
ed by any delegate to the convention
nor by any republican resident Of
Delaware county, but by w. F..
parrott of Waterloo. a lieutenant of
Ed Hunter, the democrat who is
managing the standpat campaign
for Blythe of Burlington. In other
words the contesting of the delega-
lion was not an act originating in
Delaware or instigated by Delaware
county republicans. but it originated
in the headquarters of the machine
in Des Moines, and this fact becomes
all the palmer when it is considered
that W. F. Parrott, who signed the
notice of contest, was in Waterloo
on the day the Delaware county con-
vention was held and could not we'll
have been cognizant Of the proceed
ings of the convention and could not
have prepared and signed notice
of contest to be filed with the chair
man of the convention on the day it
held if he had been. The fact is, Of
course, that this Delaware county
contest was a cut and dried affair
conceived to give out 81 false impress
sion for the. sake of the effort it
might have upon the republicans in
counties which had yet to hold their
conventions, and in the hope that
the interests of the machine might
be promoted thereby. 1t is on a par
with the acts of The machine in
other counties. It was plainly in
contemplation to try the same game
in Black Hawk county, but at the
last moment the nerve of Boehmler,
PARROT and Richards deserted them
and the fairly ascertained will of the
republicans of Black Hawk went un.
challenged.
The sending of a contesting dele
cation to tho state convention by the
,tandpat delegates to the Delaware
county convention is of course the
veriest buncombe. On the showing
Of the standpat managers at the
state headquarters, as set forth in
Parrott's noticeof contest, the delega-
tim could have no standing; for in
that notice it was set forth that the
primaries at which the delegates to
the county convention were selected
we're void, that the delegates had nc
legal right to act. This applied as

Satisfied with Their Business.

There are thousands Of dealers In the
shopping district .of London whose sales
average 100000 year. and do not care to
enlarge their trade because 1t would require
corresponding enlargement of their cap
ital and capacity. There are hundreds of
thousands of smaller shops scattered all
hoods. The streets are lined with them on
both sides. If you will ride about London
on the top of bus you can see how the
retail trade Is divided and scattered in that
way.
Nearly all the larger establishments have
passed into the hands of investors who may
or may not have any knowledge of the
business, but undertake to conduct 1t on
general principles through salaried agents
and active managers.

ENGLISH MAP MAKERS COMING.
Visit to Be Made by officers of the
British Ordnance SURVEY.

About the end of this month the geologic
cal survey will have the pleasure of well
coming some distinguished army officers
who are coming over to study the map
making system of the United States. They
are Maj. c. F. Close and Capt Firth
Of the topographic division of the British
ordnance survey. The British ordnance
survey about corresponds to the topograph-
ic division Of the United States geological
survey. and is conceded to be one of the
finest organizations of its sort in the world.
1t makes the official maps of the British
empire, and does excellent work There
are three sets of its maps In the United
Kingdom. one an inch to the mile which
about corresponds to the same scale map
that the United States is running all over
this country. The other 10 six inches to
buildings and close subdivisions of the
United Kingdom, and there is third and
even larger map. twenty-five inches to the
mile, covering the large cities.
The survey Is always keen on every
improvement in map-making work, how
ever, and the two officers coming over are
going to see what this government has
been doing in map compilation and map
engraving. There Is one small detail, for
instance, in which the work of the United
States geological survey is being followed
by all OF the great powers. That is in
printing maps in three colors, brown for the
contours, blue for the rivers and black for
the roads and towns These maps are a
good deal easier to read than the one-color
maps still issued by the ordnance survey.
The plan has been adopted by the French
Swiss and German governments.
The visit of the English officers was
ranged for by the foreign Office and the
State Department When the army officers
come they will be entertained by the Army
and Navy Club, and will be turned over to
the War Department, the geological sur
vey and the coast and geodetic survey,
and shown all that there is to see in the
map-making line. from the sort of instru-
ments and outfits used In the field to the
methods of engraving and lithographing
used in the printing department

"MRS WIGGS OF THE CABBAGE
 PATCH"

America waited long for the great woman humorist until she dawncd upon the literary horizon in the per son of Mrs Anne Hogan Rice. whose first book Mrs Wiggs of the Cab bage Pat"h,' revealed new farce in current letters. The reception of the play, which ran 1J0 performances at the Savoy theater. New York, proved that Mrs Rice had, in Mrs Wiggs, added a new and enduring portrait of the great gallery of American hum0r; and at last placed a woman type side by side with David Harum, Huckle- berry Finn and Colonel Carter of Cartersville. Tue cast, chosen with painstaking care, proved ideal, and the result has been that Mrs Wiggs. I.ovey Mary, Mis- Hazy and Mrs Stubblns are living. breathing figures to the public, something which cannot be said of all our presidents. Mrs Wiggs and her diverting friends from the Cabbage Patch will be seen here. just as they appeared at the Savoy, on next Tuesday afternoon and evening. Prices are 25, ID. 75, $l. and Sl.D.
