Private bankers of the state held a
meeting at Columbus to organize
and to consider plans for meeting the
new conditions created by the consti.
tutional amendment prohibiting the
use of the terms bank" or banks"
except by institutions under state or
national supervision. The meetings
were held at the Chittenden Hotel and
were attended by a representative
number. No announcement was made
as to the plans agreed upon for COLI
forming to the new conditions. 1t was
explained, however, that the situation
facing the private bankers is largely
one of legislation. Considerable anx.
iety is being experienced by this class
of bankers as to their prospects, and
persistent efforts to determine upon a
proper course of action have been
made since the constitutional election
in SEPTEMBER. AS explained by one
of the bankers, the new conditions, if
carried into law, will practically put
the private bank in Ohio out Of bust,
ness by compelling it to become a
state or national bank. A large mum.
ber of cases are said to exist where
the community in which a private
bank is located does not justify sufi.
cient capital to meet the minimum re-
quirements of the state. Private
bankers say they do not object to su,
pervision, in so far as this means ex.
aminations and reports of condition
but they believe that their interests
can be served better by not having to
conform to the regulations provided
by state and national banking laws.

The state tax commission, with the
aid of Attorney General Hogan, is
making an effort to prevent escape
from taxation on mortgages made II
the form of deeds or leases. In the
opinion of the taxing authorities, this
scheme of getting around the pay
ment of taxes on mortgages is becom
ing more and more prevalent.
An investigation quietly conducted
into the methods used in the transfers
of property gave rise to the suspicion
that the deeds or leases recorded were
in effect nothing but mortgages. lr
an opinion given the tax commission
Attorney General Hogan holds that
the taxation on an instrument of this
kind depends on whether 1t is genu
inc deed and lease or mortgage in
legal disguise.
1t is explained by the attorney gen
eral that where B deeds his property
to A in consideration of a specified
sum and in turn receives from A a
lease with privilege to purchase with
in specified time for the amount Of
the purchase price, the contract does
not create in the hands of A anything
which can be assessed to him as a
credit" or an Investment" The at
torney general says that the evidence
may be clear that the real intent was
to execute mortgage through evi
dence showing previous attempt tc
borrow money.
AS test of the deed and lease ar
rangement, Mr.. Hogan says that if the
rent under the lease seems in reality
to be interest on loan the fact may
be taken as giving the transaction tile
suspicion of being mortgage.
"The mere fact that the grantor re
mains in possession, even under q
form of lease" says the attorney gen
eral, "is a circumstance tending tc
show that the agreement for re-pur
chase in connection with the deed con
stitutes a mortgage rather than {
sale. Inadequacy of the price al
which the legal title to the property
changes hands is a circumstance 0.
considerable weight as tending tc
show that the transaction is a mort
gage"

TIME PROVED THEIR WISDOM
One Case Where Women Voters Have
Had Chance for Good Laugh
on the Men.

Fourteen years ago lived in Des
Moines, and the town started to buy
it's waterworks from the private cor
poration that owned them" says q
writer in Farm and Fireside. 'The
proposition involved issuing bonds, &c
the women got to vote on 1t. Their
ballots and those of the men we're put
into separate ballot boxes, and con
sequently could be counted separately,
The town was to get the water
works for $S50,000, which was cheap
Well, the women gave snug major
lty of their votes for buying, the men
gave slightly larger majority against
buying. and the proposition was vot
ed down.
Now, with the water system badly
run down and intrinsically worth very
little more than then, the town is try
ing to figure out way to scrape w
50 2,5O", 900 to buy those same works
Occasionally it walks around behint
the town hall and kicks itself earnest
ly for a spell, just to remind itsell
what a fool it was because the men
didn't have as much sense as the
women when that other vote was TAX
en-! Don't tell me the women haven't
sense enough to vote. I've seen 'em
try it.

Inquirins Into Bakery Rates.

Local baking companies are inter
ested in an investigation just started
by the interstate commerce commits
sion into the rates, classification and
regulations of express companies re.
specting the transportation of bread,
yeast and bakery products. Under ex-
listing express rates these products en-
joy special rate, an average of 25
per cent lower than the general mer-
chandise express charges. In the rate
schedule proposed by the commission
no special charges for such commodi-
ties were made. The application Of
the fiat rates of the commission would
increase the cost of the express trans
portation of bread and like commodi-
ties. Twenty-seven express compa-
nies have been made parties to the
investigation.

Hotel That ts Unioue,

to the agents of the Archduke Luis
Saltwater of Austria. 1t Is beauti
full spot. and the entire neighborhood

Attendants in charge look after the
welfare Of guests, who must, however
provide for their own food. Beds
linen and table appointments they re-
ceive gratis, and bread and wine can
be obtained very reasonably. It IL
said that this provision is due to the
qualification the Austrian owners felt
years ago. when they first came tc
live at Miramar. Such peace and sucf
loveliness. they felt. should be shar
ed by all lovers of nature who passed
that way.

Making of a Campaign Banner.


The services of IL men are required
to produce one of the big campaign
banners.
Two men prepare the strips on
which the lettering is done. Two more
look after the lettering of these strips
the painting of the names Of clubs or
associations ordering the banners, the
captions for the portraits and the Off
ces for which the nominees are to con
tend.
Two men work on the centerpieces
generally consisting Of an eagle and
shield. One man devotes himself to
the special portraits and the Others
assemble the various parts, sew the
strips together and give the finishing
touches to the banner
The portrait man" scorns to do any
other work than the main portrait
The rest he calls "fllling in" BY
working on the same faces day after
day this artist becomes so skilful and
so rapid in execution that he can paint
the portrait of candidate in the
dark and paint it as true to life as the
standard of the campaign banner in
dustry equires.-Harper's Weekly.

Issues Warning Of counterfeits.

Chief Wilkie of the United States
secret service has issued a warning
to banks of the state and to the gen
eral public of the circulation Of three
new counterfeit notes, just discovered
by this department. The counterfeits
are $40 bank note on the First Ma
tional Bank of Ashley, Pa; $40 gold
certificate and a 500 gold certificate.
The national bank certificate is said
not to be unusually deceptive, and its
portrait of Mckinley has a smeared
appearance. The $40 certificate coun-
terfeit is a fair production on good
quality paper, although the imprint of
the seal is rather faint and ragged and
the lathe work is poor, while the 500
counterfeit is reissue, with slight
changes, of a former spurious note
discovered last April

DoLL-MAKlNG An INDIAN ART
Marvellous Miniatures Are Those
Turned Out by Clever Abor!s-
Ines Of Mexico.

It is thought that the einiest dolls
are those made by Mexican Indians.
They are barely three-fourths OF an
inch long in many cases, but are new
ertheIess perfect in detail.
The method OF manufacture Is as
follows: First there is diminutiVe
framework of wire. This is then wound
with fine silk thread until the proper
figure has been secured. The cos
tunes are then cut according to the
character of the doll, and fitted to 1t.
With needles that can scarcely be
held in the fingers. needles OF which
the eyes are almost invisible. various
designs are embroidered on the dolls
clothes with the finest of silk threads.
So cleverly do the Indians execute
these designs that even through a
powerful glass the details appear to
be perfect, although the work is ac-
complished without the aid OF any
-enlarging device.
Once properly dressed, the doll is
given its hair. Even to the details
of braids and ribbons this work is
carried out Then there are formed
the eyes, nose, mouth, hands and
feet.
In Mexico these dolls are sold for
ridiculously small sums 1t takes about
two hours of painstaking labor to
make one of the simplest Of the man
ikins.
Some dolls are provided with tiny
baskets Of flowers, fancy sombreros'
water jars and other paraphernalia.
The baskets are made of hair by the
Indians Of Guanajuato. The bits OF
pottery are made of clay, in exact i'm
itation of the practical sites. All these
accessories are sewed to the dolls.
Miniature roses are embroidered in
the costumes of the dancing girls and
ornaments are arranged "a their hair.
Wreaths of flowers are hung about the
shoulders and the arms are formed in
graceful and life-llke attitudes of dane
ing. The matador is complete in
every partieular-his costume being
gayly decorated IN many colors, the
hair dressed in true Spanish fashion,
including the conventional queue.

WENT AWAY WITH THE BOOTY
Elderly Irish Lady Proved She Was
Quite Capable Of Rising to
the Occasion.

Lord Spencer, when viceroy OF Ire
land. used to keep open house, and all
ladies and gentlemen who had attend
ed drawing-rooms or levees had an un-
written right to attend the st. Pat
rick's day ball. Some very queer peo-
pie used to present themselves.
Not cOntented with eating and drink
ing all they could, many persons used
to make predatory raids on the tables
and carry off eatables of all sorts. On
one occasion the comptroller saw a
stout, elderly lady take a whole fowl
end stuff it with considerable deftness
into a somewhat capacious silk and
embroidered bag. He at once went
up to her and, pointing with his finger
at the bag. said:
Madam, won't you take some ham
with that?"
The good lady was not in the least
abashed, but replied;
"Ah. captain. sure it's joker you
are" and stuck to her booty.-From

Columbus.-Dr E. F. McCampbell,
secretary and executive officer of the

of sex hygiene in the schools.
Sex hygiene is a subject which
should be taught in the home by the
parents.
But this is not done, and l ques-
tion whether it ever will be done gen.
orally, so the school is the next best
