I'VE shall have a fine crop of straw
berries, the cold weather not having
damaged them a great DEAL" is the
statement of Clayton 7. Cook of Shia-
wassee. Mr. Cook stated that the frost
probably reduced the number of berries
but 1t is his idea that the berries left
will be larger so that the total number
of quarts will not fall far short of an
average crop. The berries will, how
ever, be few days later than usual in
ripening so that he thinks the season
will open about June 10th. The Cooks,
f.. j., G. T., G. b. and s. r., are among
he largest growers in THE county.

BANK COMMISSIONER WICKER

freely about the affairs Of the Eureka
County Bank and the action of the

other banks would have closed.
One of these vas n of the largest

Mr.. Wichcr also said that Bank Ex-
aminer Van Fleet had not reported
the Eureka County Bank in~solvcnt.
In" reports made to the board. he
said, would confirm this statement.
He also said that the affairs of the
Eureka County Bank were not as
bad as the people thought and that
10y proper management of the banks
assets he believed the dcpositors
would be paid the full amount due
them. He hoped to see a dividend
Of 10 per cent paid in the next two

he said would render all the as
sistancc in their power to the re.
ccivcr and do everything possible
to hasten an carly settlement of the

county money was held. The county
money was counted over by h. w.
Clarke, and was given into the pos
session of County Treasurer K Nc
Charles by MS deputy, Mr.. Clarke,
under whose control and in whose
possession it had been. This money
was not included in the sworn
statement of the late Bank EN-
.aminer, NJ. NJ. Van Fleet, as an asset
for the reason that it was not on

APLAIH QUESTION OF DUTY

On the theory that they were the
means of restoring to the govern
ment customs dues of which it had
been defrauded, special treasury
agents for years received as q
rewad a large part of the money re-
covered. The system vas bad. 1t
led to such abuses, especially in the
notorious Ease of one individual,
that the practice of dividing with
the informer was abolished.
AS a result of the exposure of
the weighing frauds the sugar trust
paid back 10 the government 81
600, 900 and other refining com
panies almost as much in the aggre-
gate. Great credit is due Special
Agent Parr for uncovering the
criminal tricks of the sugar trust
and corrupt government employees
in its pay. He was an efficient
official, who was beyond reach OF
bribery. But these qualities in an
employee of the government not only
has a right to demand but presum-
ably makes a condition. of his drawing
a salary.
Why sohuld any claim for a large
money reward in the sugar fraud
cases be seriously entertained at
Washington? A treasury agent or
any other customs official who helps
run down a pack of thieves may
merit promotion because of his valu-
able services. But does the fact
that ~he-proved himself honest and
trust worthy entitle him to a share
of the plumber taken from them?
What else could he do and do his
duty, if not be honest?-N. Y.World.
