Smiths in the last congress. One
beauty about being a Smith in con-
gress i that members of that name
usually have the distinction of hav-
ing their state named in connection
with their M whenever they are
mentioned. They are generally
known as Mr.. Smith Of such-and-
such n state.

RESERVES SAME
AS LAST YEAR

Chicago. March 19.-The Inter.
ocean OF this morning says: It has
neen the supposition Of the position Of
the wheat trade that stocks in second-
hands outside Of the visible supply and
the farm reserves were larger than
last cal. This belief has been based
on continued good receipts which has
run Tor several months far in excess
OF last years at a time when thew
snould be small. The government re-
port received in detail yesterday
makes these stocks March first aggre-
gate 97.710.000 bushels or 1874 per

with 9S.5S7,000 bushels or 1876 per

general Impression among wheat trad
ers last night that a trading position
was the safest for the time being as
there is nothing in hand at present to
make decided changes in prices from
the present level. The pit short in

Issued Result of Recent
Examination

The third examination for elemen-
tary certificates during the school
year beginning July /. 1911. was held
on Feb. s and 9. At this examination
SO" applicants wrote for certificates.
This Was not as large a class as wrote
on h examination in November. AT
that time 1850 applicants presented
themselves for examination. At the
February examination 443 Of the ap-
plicants were successful in securing
certificates. Fifty-two secured first
grade certificates and 391 secured Sec
ond grade certificates. Approximately
fifty per cent of the applicants were
successful in securing certificates. OF
the S92 applicants, 319 were second
trial applicants. The board OF exam
iners allows an applicant to write at
two different examinations and use
the highest standings secured at the
two examinations toward a certifi-
cate. Following is a result Of the ex.

INCIDENCE KILLS

Often fans" wonder. why players
who seem to possess an the qualities
which go to make a star seldom land
a major league berth or. Keep it long
when they do. It is all solved in the
use Of one word, 'indolence."
There is with the ::Phillies at Hot
Springs a baseball player who is UNI
qu%estionably one Of the best. in the
game. but he is destined to go back to
the minors soon unless he changes his
ways. He Is toe lazy or too careless
to obey the rules laid down by Man
ager Doom. at the suggestion of
Trainer Mike Dee. for the spring
training.
Trainer Dee requested all the men
to drink a. certain kind Of water which
was procured at considerable en-
pense and which he keeps in his room.
The player in question shuns 1t as If it
were poison. The boys were also told
that they were to visit a physician in
this town designated by President
Fogel and then take the baths as pre-
scribed by him. This man not only
failed to visit the doctor, but only
takes the baths when he cannot es-
cape.
During the rainy season at Hot
Springs. when baseball practice was
impossible. Doom ordered the men to
take long hikes each day. The indol-
emit player sneaked to his room and
remained there until the men were re-
turning. when he appeared In the lob

he had walked ten miles.

IN NUT SHELL
Piling up of Bank Deposits
at Reserve Centers
Hopeful Feature.

New York. March 19.-The stock
market today made considerable re-
covery from its unsettlement of last
Saturday. when prices fell on fears of
political and industrial disturbances
abroad. Some idea OF the anomalous
movements Of the session may be
gathered from the fact that until 2
active features in stocks, its sales be-
ing greater than those Of any other is-
sue. while Missouri Pacific was more
active than Union Pacific and the
dealings in Canadian shares were
much larger than in stocks whose
course has often been accepted as
significant.
There was further selling for Lon
den account. London's market were
heavy as We're other exchanges on the
continent, while a slump was reports
on the st. Petersburg exchange.
In fine. the foreign situation SEEM
ed to offer some warrant for last
weeks rumors, which went so tar as
to threaten the peace of Europe"
a reported hitch in the Chinese loan
situation growing u of secretary
negotiations by the new republic with
Belgian banking interests was the
subject Of discussion in high financial
quarters.
The market took on its strongest
tone In the final hour when it became
known that the United States supreme
court would not hand down any deci-
sions OF Importance but would adj
Journ for a fortnight. There were re-
~cessions from top prices, but the clos
ing was strong and active. 1t en-
braced a better demand for shares of
the railroads in the western and
southern territory, which probably re-
suited from the improved crop pros
poets In those sections.
Western traffic conditions are i'm
proving. One Of the most hopeful fea-
lures respecting that, aection is to be
found in the. steady piling up Of bank
deposits at reserve centers. indicating
that a large part of the usual drain or
this center for crop moving require
ments will be obviated. Increasing
demand for cash in the west is reflect
ed in the steadiness Of its money
markets. The controller of the cur
rency has completed his abstract OF
reports. showing the conditions of over
1900 banks at the close Of business
on February 20 last. The increase in
almost $21, 900, 900. with a very small
increase in reserves.
Sales by London here today were
