BIG GAIN IN
BANK DEPOSITS
Quarterly Report Of State Banking
Dept Indicates That Iowa Is in
First Glass Condition,

In the eleven months between June
80, 1870 and May 90, 1911, the bank
deposits in the state and savings
banks and the trust companies of
Iowa increased $2,9Os, 330.13, accord
ing to the quarterly bank statement
made by Chief Clerk Ellis of the state
banking department. This increase
is somewhat small, but has been af-
1ected by several propositions. In the
first place the department in making
up the table from the reports at the
ciose OF business, has placed debent-
dre bonds among the bills payable in
stead OF counting them as deposits.
This Is new classification, and OF
course tends to decrease the amount
OF deposits while increasing the
amount of bills payable.
The report shows that 693 savings
banks have deposits amounting to
sid3,4s5S71.61: undivided profits
amounting to s4.S99, 1888 and as
sets to the amount of $205, 520,625.0S.
state banks and trust companies have
deposits amounting to s76.343 6e0.S1.
undivided profits amounting to S4,-
,ss753.Ss and assets amounting to
siol .S4S,300. The consolidated state
ments of the 500 savings banks, 277
STATE banks and IA trust companies
snow that they have deposits totaling

the amount of ss.044.272.04. with as
sets amounting to $so6.6SO, ss65S.

Unnecessary Advice.

A Boston school teacher, on attir.
Ing after 40 years service, had these
suggestions to make to young women
teachers: "A little harmless flirting
with nice people with whom you are
acquainted will do much to rest the
tired mind after the arduous duties
of the schoolroom; be live wire ev-
cry minute; do not eat too much"
Advice is given to those who need it;
IT is easy to guess what young Boston

Poor Excuse for Ahsence.

Women have tried to excuse their
absence from the breakfast table on
the plea that they never look their
best in the early morning hours. But
beauty is superfuous at breakfast
save when 1t manifests itself in the
cunning red and white of bacon, in
the delicate aroma of coffee or the
translucent amber of marmalade or
honey. Our aesthetic sensibilities arc
not fully awake till the afternoon.

JUSTICE Is
MISREPREsENTED
Hannibal Paper Comments on Action
Of President In Sending MapeI
There.

Hannibal Courier-Post: M. E. JUS
tice, president of the Central Associa-
ton hung one on Hannibal when he
transferred Jumps Mapel here and
placed Fleming at Keokuk Friday be-
cause Mapel got in bad with the Keo-
kuk fans. Umpire Fleming is by far
the best umpire and of course local
fandom knows Justice would not stand
poor jumps in his beautiful city for
minute. He got rid of Mapel after
the latter had trouble at Keokuk and
wired Fleming to report at keokuk.
Fleming was to have umpired nine
games here and he gave perfect salts
faction during the first three games.
On the other hand Umpire Mapel
is sadly lacking He is bad on balls
and strikes and missed several plays.
In the first game yesterday Kilpat-
rick started to steal second and Shea
made perfect throw to Milligan. who
caught Fitzpatrick at least three or
four feet from second base but Mapel
ruled him safe. He allowed Fitzpatrick
to go down to first base when hit by
slow ball during the second game
and that cost one run Besides he
made few other bad decisions, but
he was impartial.
Is that justice, Pres Justice?

President Justice is grossly mis-
represented in the above article Jus
tice does not stand for poor umpires
anywhere but he first must be firmly
convinced of their shortcomings be-
fore he allows them to go. Mapels
decisions in Keokuk were good, even
the players say this, but he was in
bad with fans from the first day and
for the sake of the attendance here
Justice thought it best to change UNI
pires. The action was not done with
any malice toward Hannibal. 1t was
a sane move and one that the Han
nibal paper failed to interpret cor
rectly.
