SALOON CASE APPEALED.
Decision of Judge HObsOn, Closing
Saloons in County, to be Re-
viewed by Supreme
Court

1t appears that the matter of the
open saloon in Winneshiek county
has not yet been finally settled, for
briefs are now being printed in the
appeal from the decision of Judge
A. n. Hobson in the Winneshiek dis
trict court, when he declared insult
ficient the last petition filed by the
saloon interests of the county, which
had been reviewed by the board OF
supervisors and declared sufficient BY
that body.
1t will be remembered that it was
stipulated in the trial of this case
that it rest upon the single issue as
to whether or not the names of per-
sons who had either died or removed
from the county since the last No
vember election should be deducted
from the number of voters in the
county in determining upon the re-
quired sixty-five per cent of sigma
lures to the ptition. In other words,
deducting these names reduced the
number of voters actually residing
in the county when the petition was
circulated and filed sufficient to make
the number of names on the petit
ton, less Withdrawals, more than
sixty-five per cent. Without this,
the petition lacked the required six
ty-five per cent.
The case is therefore appealed on
this issue alone, and should the SUI
preme court overrule Judge Hobson's
decision that these names cannot be
deducted from the list of voters,
then the saloons could reopen. We
understand that this question is also
at issue in other counties in the
state, and its determination will be
awaited with interest.

Wearing Badge Against the Law.

Our attention is called to the fact
that throughout the state there are
numerous old soldiers and others
wearing the regulation G.. A. r.
badge or button, which is contrary
to law, and should be stopped. We
quote the following from the Gen.
eral Order of the Department Com
mander:
Post officers are requested to take
notice of the illegal wearing of the
Grand Army badge or button in their
communities. 1t is getting too prev
alent, and should be prevented. 1t
is a misdemeanor under our statutes,
and We owe it to the order at large
to make an example of those who,
after being admonished, continue to
wear it. To wear it legally, one
must be in good standing in some
post"

ELECT NEW OFFICERS.
Annual Meeting of Winneshiek Coun-
ty State Bank Advances Officers
and Increases Surplus.

At the annual meeting of the Win
neshiek County State Bank stock
holders held on Saturday, the fol-
i, lowing officers of the bank were
elected:
President-C. ]. Weiser.
Vice Pres.-E. w. d. Holway
Vice Pres.-Ray Algyer.
Cashier-Albert Atkinson.
Asst Cash.-Miss Tena Whalen.
While the advancement above not
ed makes no change in the personnel
of the working force of the bank, it
is recognition of proven ability and
efficient service in the interest of
the bank and its stockholders
throughout a number of years.
Mr.. Ray Algyer, the new vice
president, has come to his position
of responsibility and trust through
every station in the bank from mes
senger boy up, and in each his care
full and conscientious performance of
duty has made him the friend and
confidant of all with whom he has
been associated in a business as we'll
as social capacity.
Mr.. Albert Atkinson, the new
cashier, has attained this splendid
position through sheer worth and
the earnest, unceasing devotion to
duty which always makes for sue
cess in life. Born and reared in this
county, he has made the most of
every opportunity that has been Of
fered him, and comes into manhood
with ability, experience and capacity
of the rare sort which gives one the
advancement he merits without seek
ing it.
Miss Tena Whalen, the new assist
ant cashier, has made herself so val
liable in numerous capacities in the
number of years she has been as
ISOLATED with this institution, that
the officers were quick to recognize
her personal worth and her value to
the bank in the position of assistant
cashier. 1t is a recognition Of her
sex which carries with it the confid-
ence and esteem of all who have
learned to know the worth of Miss
Whalen as a business woman.
In financial sense this staunch
old institution is stronger than ever.
The reports to the stockholders
showed assets of $1,65O,0O0. An
addition of $4,000 to the surplus
found was voted, making it now
$35, the capital and undivided
profits being nearly 100000. An
additional stock liability of $4,000
was assumed, making the guarantee
to depositors in this respect alone
$350,000. 1t is the policy of the
bank to gradually increase the sur
plus as a further protection to its
business, and to systematic the var
ious departments, SO as to facilitate
the dispatch of business and the TAX
ing care of every want of the GUS
toners of the bank.
The friends of the bank generally
will join in congratulating the bank
as we'll as the new officers upon the
advancement.
