Interest in the announcement yes

would merge with the Merchants and
Mechanics Savings Bank and become

fresh discussion OF the rumors con-
corning the possible connection Of the
Commercial National Bank and the

Nothing Definite.
On the other hand, +. Southard
Parker. president of the National
Metropolitan, when asked whether a
merger with the Commercial was in
contemplation replied that there was
nothing sufficiently definite as yer TO
report.
1t is known that loans have been
sought on the stock Of the United
states Savings Bank and on that OF the
Tlited States Trust Company i'm con-
siderable numbers and volume during
the past few weeks. A plan also has
been considered 80 increase the stock
or the former institution from $50. 90
TO double that amount. but this scheme
has not cen matured.

COME TO THE

THE WOpK OF AN ApTIST IS HEpE

An artist paints nature not rs It is,
but as it seems. An artist takes q
rugged and rusty mountain for q sub
ject. The first strokes of q brush tell
us nothing. Presently the colors are
mixed and begin to glow. Soon we see
the rising sun. the mountain is dotted
with trees. and a fawn startled into
life is gazing in wonderment at you.
In the gentle breeze the daises sway
and nod their heads-the lark lifts
up his head and the yellow Of his
breast is of burning gold, the notes
OF his sweet song are almost heard.
So it is with the designers Of Regina
hats. Out OF flowers and ribbons and
bra;ds and bands they start the hat AS
they place something here. q fold
there, the beauty of the hat grows and
unfolds. Oh. yes! We could take out
some of the fine touches and reduce
the cost But women want hats that
are beautiful and after all, Regina hats
cost less than all others built of the
same good materials. Regina hats are
worn by women of style"

that John Mocine, for so long con-

severed his connection with that COM
pany. His energy in business and
personal popularity with the en-

ings with the office have always been
a valuable asset of the company. 1t is
to be sincerely hoped that he will
continue his residence in the Occur

brought to their fullest producing
