M utuaIity.

We hear many favorable comments of the
mutually of interests between depositors and
stockholders of The Sykesville National Bank.
This progressive institution was the first
bank in Carroll or Howard county to pay
per cent interest on certificates of deposits
which it inaugurated when it began business
in 1901.
During the past five and half years it has
distributed more interest semi.annually to its
depositors than it has paid dividends to stock
holders.
These certificates of deposits should CON-
mend themselves to those seeking safe and
remunerative investment.

The Western Maryland relay team is now
busy training for the University of Pennsyl

q. Owing to their work last year they have
been movee from Glass E to Glass c. They
will have for their opponents Lehigh, Carlisle
Indians, Rutgers. Dickinson, Haverford and
College of the City of New York. This will
be the most important athletic event Western
Maryland has taken part in for a long time.
ST. Johns will still be in Glass E among the
novice teams, and Western Maryland will not
get the chance of repeating what they have
given them the last two years. Western
Maryland had no choice of the class in which
they were placed. The classification is the
work of the University of Pennsylvania au,
thorities, who looked up the previous work of
the two teams. The fact that uninterested
parties have placed them up two classes in a
single year speaks well for their past work.

present session of the college there are
245 students, il in excess of the number en-
rolied the preaching session. The finances of
the institution, Dr. Lewis said, are in splendid
shape, but he desired to impress upon the
members of the conference the need of an
endowment for the college. Rev. D. j. Kin
Ger, president of the board of governors of
the Westminster Theological Seminary, made
the sannal report for that institution. He
stated that 33 students are in attendance and
that the present year had been successful
one. He said the twenty.ffth anniversary of
the founding of the institution should be
marked by extending the course of study from
two to three years.
