Runs ON the Bank of England.

Even the Bank of England has not
been entirely free from runs nor from
the necessity of saving itself by
strategy. In 1745, for instance, it was
forced to employ agents to present
notes, which were paid as slowly as
possible in sixpences, the cash being
Immediately brought in by another
door and paid in again, while anxious
holders of notes vainly tried to Sc
cure attention. In 1925, too, only the
accidental discovery of 100000 Ell
notes saved the bank from stopping
payment.-London Chronicle

s4,oe5 From Wards Estate.

Over four thousand dollars came In
10 the state treasury in one amount
as a result of the activity of the State
Board of Control in the collection of
fees from estates for the care and
maintenance of persons in the state
charitable institutions. This is the
largest single amount ever collected
by the board in this manner.
The exact amount is $4O95. Mrs.
Mary Asbjornsen went to the Osawat-
omit State hospital from Republic
county in 1888 and has been there
constantly since A short time ago
her husband died and she fell heir to
his property. Her property is worth
in the neighborhood of $4,000. The
state filed a claim for $4,095 for the
care and maintenance Of the woman
since 1888 and the claim was allowed.
The state will also collect regular
amounts from the estate for the care
of the woman as long as she remains
in the institution which will probably
be as long as she lives. There are no
children, hence Mrs. Asbjornsen gets
the whole estate.

Must Know About Bank Business.

State Bank Commissioner J. N.
Dolley is sending out letters to all
bank directors under the jurisdiction
of the state banking department call
ing their attention to the new bank
ing laws which require that every d.
rector be in close touch with the con-
ditions of the bank with which he Is
connected. There is a purpose in this.
The bank commissioner wants to fix
it so that he will not hear the old
story: "I didn't know thing about
the condition of the Oank" the next
time one goes to the wall.
That has been a common wall in
the past with the bank directors. The
custom in many banks has been for
the majority of the directors to turn
over all the real vital business to one
or two officers and trust them implic-
lilly. In many instances this practice
has lead to serious trouble not only
for the directors, but for the men who
were trusted and the stockholders and
depositors. Mr.. Dolley says the GUS
tom has been responsible for the
wrecking of many a bank.
Hereafter the directors must attend
the meetings that are scheduled for
stated intervals. They must go over
the business of the bank and know
what is going on. They will be held
and must know where
they stand. Whenever new director
is elected the State Bank Commits
sioner sends him a copy of the bank
ing laws and writes him letter call
ing his attention particularly to his
duties as a member of the board Of
directors.

MONEY GOES TO GAME WARDEN
Attorney General Says County cIeres
Can't Keep II.

County clerks must not hold the
money they collect for hunting Ii
censes and they must not issue dup
licate tags where the original Is lost.
John Dawson. attorney general, in an
opinion written for Prof l.. l.. Dyche,
state fish and game warden, held chat
county clerks could be prosecuted for
embezzlement if they retained the
money they had collected. The fish
and game law provides that when
county clerks collect for the licenses
it is to be turned into the county
treasurer and he sends it to the state
treasurer for the use Of the fish and
game department. It has been the
custom with many county clerks to
keep the money for licenses from two
months to a year and this practice
has often caused the department con-
siderable inconvenience. The law
makes no specific time for turning in
the money, so the attorney general
holds that it must be reported at once
a I'd has notified the fish and game
warden that charges of embeZzlement
may be brought against county clerks
who hold the money more than rea-
sonable time. On account of the use
of lost licenses by others than the
rightful owners the attorney general
ruled that county clerks must not W
sue duplicate licenses to anyone.
