Their reputation in the past for first class
entertainments was amply upheld last
Thursday night, by the entertainment given
in the Elm street chapel, when Mother
Goose and her old time favOrites appeared
to us with fresh charm. Great credit is
due Mrs Alice Griffin for her careful drill
of the % children who took part, and to Miss
Nan Godfrey, who so successfully trained
the choruses. Mrs. Walter Gardner and
Mrs. Charles Homer assisted in the staging
of the little drama and each and every child
seemed to be the part he represented. All
hearts were won by the children of the Old
Woman Who Lived in a Shoe, as they sang
their bedtime chorus, and the Fiddlers' three
were quite at home in any situation. Katie,
the real child, might have been Alice in

State Board is as follows:

trust companies and national banks,
praying for a deduction of the exempt
securities from the taxable assets of
the bank, the burden of proof that
these exempt securities were purchased
to represent capital stock, surplus and
undivided profits is upon the bank, and
that the mere passage of a resolution
by the board of directors to take from
the general assets of the bank the an
empt securities and credit them to the
capital, surplus and undivided profits
account. unsupported by other testi-
mony showing the purchase of the Sc
curities for the capital, surplus and
