report of the state banking depart
ment. which was submitted to Gov.
Davidson by State Banking Commits
sioner NJ. c. Bergh the commissioner
says that 1T is gratifying that during
the IL months covered by the report,
which includes two months Of the
stringency period, in some respects
the worst ever experienced in this
country, but one Of the 49i financial
institutions under the supervision OF
this department required any special
action on the part of the department.
The report covers the last calendar
year. and shows that the financial in
situations under state supervision are
generally in a highly tiourishing con
dition, The only bank that got into
difficulty during the year was the
Farmers bank Of Cuba City, capital
$500. The cause OF the embarrass-
ment of that institution was, the com
missioner says. due to loose business
methods and carelessness in making
loans Regarding this bank the com
missioner further says; The stock
holders. with the assistance of this de-
partment, are in a fair way to get the
bank in condition to resume business
without loss to the depOsitors.' The

BIG WAREHOUSE BURNS
GAINESVILLE Has s25o,CCo Fire Early
the Other Mornng-May Be
Due to lncendiary.

Jancsville.-What proved to be the
largest fire loss ever sustained in
GAINESVILLE occurred early the other
morning when the julius Marquissee
tobacco warehouse with some 1000
cases Of tobacco was totally destroyed
by fire, entailing loss Of $3.50 900
with insurance on building and CON
tents a trihe over $500, 900. When the
department arrived the walls and
floors had already fallen, making il
impossible to save the contents Two
large warehouses in the immediate
vicinity were saved by hard work.
How the fire caught could not be eX
planned. Evidently it had been burn
ing several hours before discovered,
and it Is thought that it may have
been Of ncondiary origin. Julius Mar,

handlers IN the middle west.

ible wealth Of our farmers. landlords and tenants
are multiplying rapidly in agricultural regions.
a significant summary Of facts has just been
given in the Popular Science Monthly" by Pro-
fessor Homer {. Price, OF Ohio State Univer-
sity. Eight years ago more than thirty five
farms out Of every one hundred were operated
by tenants while % 3 per cent Of all farm lands

ably show that tie high tenancy rate Of France
(472 per cent? is almost if not quite equalled
When Il is considered that the relative number
Of tenants has been increasing in spite of the
millions of acres taken up annually for forty
years in n. mestead grants, the magnitude of this
eeenonc ira nsfcIInation becomes sill more i'm

II x encOuragingly conteDded that in America
the farm hand rises 10 tenant. and from tenant

is no. an unwbolesonle sign. But Professor Price
affirms that this rcseate theory conflicts with
the facts: il tenancy We're "A transitional stage

Of rented farms could scarcely Increase steadily
for twenty-eight years. The only methods thus
far suggested for discouraging leaseholders and
