earners will be especially benefited by
the kind of banking facilities afforded.
large patronage of the service is ex-

renting considerable sums to their orig

money orders. Many of the places select

not adequately provided with savings in

Vienna. October Especial --Archduka
Ludwig Victor, brother of the Austrian
Emperor, has had an unpleasant exper-
fence while attempting to ascend the
Kazer lake from Bozen, in the Tyro1. via
Eggenthal in his powerful automobile.
At the village of Walschenoffen the bur-
gomaster and all the villagers turned out
armed with scythes and pitchforks to
stop the car.
This narrow dangerous route is pro-
hibited to motor cars, and the archduke
gave no notice of his ascent On the bur-
gomaster being informed of the identity
of the traveller, he replied, ut is all the
same to me who the traveller is, and even
an archduke must respect the law"
The archdukes aid de camp telephoned
to, the governor at Bozen, who ordered
the car to be passed, and the archduke,
amid insults, continued his journey.

At cambridge petty sessions court a
meeting of magistrates was held for tho
purpose of considering the advisability of
holding the court monthly in future, in
stead of fortnightly, owing to the fact
that there has been considerable dimi-
mutton In the business of the court. This
result is apparent as the efforts Of the
temperance propaganda by the Catholic
