laUST BE ABOVE REPRoAcHI
Management Of Bank, to Command
Confidence, Needs Honesty and
Broad Financial Knowledge.

Figures in bank statement mean
absolutely nothing unless the man.
agement of the institution is above
reproach. The average business man,
in consulting bank statement,
would not imagine that loans, bonds,
securities and circulating notes
could be 50 easily juggled with. That
is, however, according to Chalmers
Lowell Pancoast, in The Worlds
Work, an easy matter if the officials
Of the bank are not honest. Chief
among the essentials of a safe bank
Mr.. Pancoast mentions honesty and
a wide experience in financial af-
fairs. With either one of these quail
tiles lacking, the stability Of the in
stitution is greatly impaired. Natu-
rally, business man wants to deal
with banker who has character, vet
at the same time he does not have
confidence in an honest banker un-
less the man also has wide expert
ence in financial affairs. Honesty
and broad financial knowledge
must go hand in hand; banker
must be partner to business man
in every way possible.

MAKES WHEAT GROW RAPIDLY.

that it grows much more rapidly.
The process itself has not yet been

The attention of Our town S
people is called to the provisions
of Sec. 7, of Ordinance 6, published
in this issue, requiring the occu-
pant of every business building
within the fire limits to provide
hand fire extinguishers to be kept
in some handy place ready for inn
mediate use. 1t is we'll known that
many of the biggest fires might
have been prevented witt! a little
intelligent work done at the very
beginning. In view of the fact
that we would be absolutely help
less here in case a fire would once
get we'll Under way. we regard it
as of vital importance that every
business house not already provi

fact that we have escaped fire SO
far should not beguile us into the
belief that it will never occur.

STATE MOURNS LOSS OF FORMER
SENATOR,

The state and the stalwart faction
of the republican party. have suf-
fered a great loss in the death OF
former senator, A. B. kittredge.
Mr.. kittredge was born March
aS. 1861, in Cheshire county, New
Hampshire. His early education
was obtained in the public schools
and by private tutor. When II
years old he entered Yale universe
ty, graduating from that institution
in 1882. He then commenced the
study OF law in the Office of Judge
Veasey, at Rutland, VT, afterward
studying in the law office OF Bach
elder & Faulkner OF the same place.
In 1884 he entered the Yale law
school, from which he was gradu-
ated in 1885. In June Of the same
year he was admitted to the bar by
the supreme court OF Connecticut.
Then he came west, arriving in
Sioux Falls in 1885.
He at once took all active part
in state politics and soon became
the chief lieutenant of R. 7. Petit
grew which continued until his
break with Pettigrew during the
memorable 1896 campaign. In
1901 he was appointed United
States senator to fill the vacancy
caused by the death Of Senator
James H. Kyle. He served out
that term and was elected by the
legislature of 1903 for a full term
which ended in 1900.
He was retired because he be-
came out of harmony with prevail
ing thought of the members of his
party, or rather he went down to
defeat in the 1908 contest between
progressives and stalwarts. He
was thus forced to retire just at the
time when by years of hard work
he had gained a most influential
and commanding position in the
United States senate-the flood
tide of his public career.

PROPAGATION OF QUAIL.

The propagation af quail in this
State and the recent enactment
of new game laws, makes an article
in the December Outing by Herbert
X. Job, on his success in raising
this species of wild birds, of interest
to Delaware.
Mr.. Job saws "At the very
outset we encountered the supreme
obstacle of keeping quail in con-
finoment. The very first consign-
ment arrived stricken with the
dread pestilence, like cholera, GEN

stock of health birds. The few in

might break out again, and i'll

LECTURES ON HISTORY
At DELAWARE COLLEGE

The Bill passed by the last Legis-
lature for the creation of Chair of
History and Economics in Della
ware College provided, among
other things. for a series of lectures
each year upon subjects closely
allied to the work of the new de-
partment. In accordance with this
provision Prof. E. V. Vaughn is
arranging five lectures for this year
at least two Of which are to be in
the field of Delaware history. He
announces following lectures.
The first lecture Of the series viii
be delivered by the Hon. Everett
| c. Johnson, Editor of the Newark
Post, a trained historian and the
author of the bill creating the new
department of history. Probably
no one is more interested than he
in the subject proposed for discus
sion, namely, 'The Place of the
Social Sciences in Education
This initial lecture will be given in,
the College Oratory on Thursday,
November %, at three o'clock.
On December 6, Judge Henry c.
Conrad will give his lecture on the
"Three Signers of the Declaration
from Delaware. Judge Conrad is
an authority on Delaware history,
and his writings are well known,
especially his three volumn History
of the State of Delaware.
Later in the year a second lee
ture on some phase of Delaware
history will be delivered by Rev.
Joseph B. Turner, President of the
Delaware Historical Society and |
an able worker in the history of |
the State. The exact title of the
lecture will be announced later and
will be looked forward to with much
interest.
In the economic field a lecture of
peculiar timeliness and interest is
promised by Philip Burnet, ESQ.,.
President Of the Continental Life
Insurance Company, Wilmington,
Delaware. His subiect-title tO.be

FOR BETTER
CROPS BEING WAGED

The campaign for better crops from
/ the lands already in tillage which
was inaugurated by the Grain Ex-
changes of the country, and which
has been sweeping across the cOun-
try, is just reaching Delaware.
Thousands of dollars are being ex-
pended towards accomplishing this
end, and the railroads are aiding the
movement by sending out 'farm
educational trains in many parts
of the United States and Canada.
The purpose of the movement is
to grow larger and better crops to
the acre. Flour men say the bread
problem is becoming a serious one.
Paint manufacturers are clamOring
for greater yields of the fiaxseed crop
used in making lineseed oil. Brewers
want more and better barley, while
the grain distributing centers declare
that large volumes of corn, wheat,
oats and all cereals are needed for
the wants of the market This they
say is true both for home consump-
ton and export trade.
The grain men say the time has
come when the country can no longer
look for expansion to the taking up
of new lands, but that the country
must turn its attention to growing
more to the acre. They say greater
care is needed in the growing and |
selection of seed more scientific cul-
tivation scientific study Of fertiliza-
ton the study of proper rotation of
crops and the adoption of the soil.
1t is pointed out that because of
the greater area of acreage the farmer
has become thoughtless in the rails

ion of quality rather than increasing

CORN STILL LIREMAINS
THE KING OF CROPS

The full effect of the drought and
intensely hot weather of the past
summer was reflected in the Govern
ment crop report 1t showed that
the production of corn in the United
States, which at the beginning of the
season promised to exceed the bump
er crop of last year, was smaller by
349, 4l2 900 bushels than last year S
crop.
Notwithstanding this great de-
crease in production, the crop this
year goes down as the third largest
in the history of the country, having
been exceeded only by those Of 1910
and 1906.
There were decreases in production
IN all of the pricipal corn-growing
States, excepting in Ohio, Michigan,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania,
Georgia, South Carolina and Ala
bama. IllonOis led in production
and Iowa and Missouri maintained
their standing as second and third
producing States.
Potatoes showed a falling off of
81, ,O76, 900 bushels. Only Wiscon-
sin showed an increase in their pro-
ductioR. Flaxseed was about the
only principal crop showing an in
creased production this year, about
half again as much as last year hav-
ing been grown. The crop, however,
was less than any in the past ten
years except in 1910. The increased
production was mainly in North |
Dakota.
There was striking decrease in !
the production of tobacco, amount |
ing to 1876, 100000 pounds less than
last years crop.

port as made public by the Govern
ment:
