The Sykesville National Bank.

Every customer coming into this
bank carries away the impression, that
he has been courteous1y treated and
that his business will have intelligent
and faithful attention. This impress
sion is not accidental, but results from
the experience and practical knowledge
of banking and painstaking efforts to
please on the part of the officials. An
air of up-to-date-ness seems TO sur
round not only the bank but all those
in connection with 1t.
The public appreciate this progress
siye spirit which is shown by the rap
idly increasing deposits.

OELWEIN BUSINESS
UNIVERSITY EXPANDS.
BRANCH TO BE ESTABLISHED
IN WATERLOO.
Opening September 1-will Occupy
Third Floor in Fowler Building.

At the earnest solicitation of the
Commercial Club and Board of
Trade of Waterloo, Iowa, Professor
R. E. Eklund has been prevailed
upon to open a branch school in
that city September LIST.
The new institution will be known
as the Waterloo College of Com
merce and will occupy the entire
third floor of the Fowler building,
corner of Fourth and Lafayette
streets. This is one of the best To-
cations for Business Training
School in the city of Waterloo, as it
is opposite the Street Car waiting
room.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Oelwein Business University, owned
by MIR. Eklund, is one of the largest
finest, and best equipped business
training schools in the state, it has
been apparent for some time that its
ever increasing patronage and grow
ing popularity demanded an en-
largement of it's present quarters
or the establishment of branch
school.
Our wide awake sister city, Wat
erloo, has taken advantage of the
situation and is to be congratulated
on inducing Professor Eklund to
establish his branch school in their
city.
The Waterloo College of Com.
merce will be conducted on the same
high plane as the o. B. U. and with
Professor Eklund at the head it is
an assured success. Its equipment
in every department will be modern
in every way, including the latest
office devices. The method of in
struction insures a thorough bust
ness training to all students, en-
abling Mr.. Eklund to place all grad
yates in office positions, with the
assurance that they will be thorough
ly competent.
The branch school at Waterloo
will be under the efficient manage
ment of Prof. Fl. o. Davis, principal
of the Advanced Bookkeeping and
Office Practice in the Oelwein Bust
ness University. Mr.. Davis has
been accociated with the o. B. U.
for several years and is exception
ally we'll qualified for the position.
1t is exceedingly gratifying to
learn that Prof. Eklund intends to
continue his residence in Oelwein
and direct his efforts to the enlarge
ment and betterment of tho Del vein
Business University.
With these two high class Bust
ness Training Schools Mr.. Eklund
will be better enabled to fill the
ever increasing demand for his grad
yates and we earnestly advise all
young people desiring a business
education to attend one of these
colleges. -Oelwein Record, June IL

Champagne corks are made of the
very finest Catalonia corkwood. When
the tree of that wood Is planted, thirty
years must elapse before it becomes ut
for the first stripping of the bark, and
even then the cork Is of no use, being
much too coarse. After eight years
more n second crop arrives, but that
again is of but poor quality, and
eight years more. making forty-six
years In all. must pass before the
grower can reap any material benefit
from the tree. Then, again, the great
est care is necessary for the manufac-
ture of the best champagne corks be-
cause should they be defective in size
and shape the quality of the wine will
suffer. For that reason they are not
made by machinery, like the ordinary
cork, but are cut by hand, us finer
work can be done that way.-Philadel-
