plus and undivided profits OF bank
ing houses, there shall be deducted
the total amount of exempt securities

CONTEST END
TO BE LIVELY

NEWS contest for vacation trips to
Niagara Falls. The time is growing
short and some of those at the bot
tom of the list are doubtless planning
for a grandstand finish, as the sport
ing editor would say. They have
been quietly making their plans and
think that at the last moment they
can come in and capture the prize.
Perhaps they can. 1t remains to
be seen. There is no doubt but that
those who have kept busy all along
and now have large number Of
votes to their credit, have a big ad-
vantage. 1t won't be long now, and
then the party starts for Niagara
Falls for weeks enjoyment. Be
