The FarnSWorth Bank Incorporates.

The Bank of Cresco, heretofore q
private banking institution. has been
Incorporated by John Farnsworth, his
wife, two of his sons and H. w.
Young, and becomes the Cresco State
Bank, with capital of $4,000 and a
surplus of 81, 500. All the incorporators
are included in the directorate, and
the officers are as follows President,
John Farnsworth; Vice President, E.
P. Farnsworth; Cashier, H. w. Young;
Assistant Cashier, Asa A. Farnsworth.
The Bank of Cresco is the Oldest
bank in the town, organized by Mr..
Farnsworth and Aaron Kimball in
1869, and during all the. time since.
through hard times and panics, the
soundness and financial responsibility
of the institution has never been
questioned. MIR. Young has been con-
nected with the bank for IS years and
is almost as much part of it as is
Mr.. Farnsworth and will continue in
his present position after the reorgan-
ization. E. P. Farnsworth and Asa A.
Farnsworth have been connected with
the bank most of the time since
arriving at the age of manhood. and
are amply fitted to assume, with Mr..
Young, the responsibilities and
burdens of the business which Mr..
Farnsworth naturally seeks to re-
linquish with advancing age.
With the ambition of youth joined to
the experience of years, there is no
doubt that the new organization will
continue to enjoy the confidence of the
public and will meet with continually
increasing patronage.

City Tax Levy.

In this issue appears the tax levy OF
the city of Decorah. This is one of
the few proceedings of the city gov
ernment that is made generally public.
The law compels its publication. The
law permits the publication of all pro-
ceedings of the city council. Why
shouldn't they be published? Is there
any good reason for not publishing
them? We have never heard any citi-
zen object to the cost of similar publi-
cations. They furnish the best, and
almost the only means by which citi-
zens may inform themselves of city
affairs. We offer this paragraph, not
as criticism, but merely as suggestion.

Great Tribute to
Former Senator Crane
People Of Berkshire Celebrate His Birthday and Home
Coming Reception, Parade and Presentation Of Low
ing Cup Features Of Gala Occasion

United States Paper Maker: The
great reception rendered to former
Senator w. Murray Crane last month
by the people of Dalton and Berk
shire was fitting tribute to re
markable man. The senator's sixtieth
birthday occurred April % and the
celebration was in honor Of this
event and OF his homecoming. 1t was
| a wonderful reception and Mr.. Crane
undoubtedly received more pleasure
from the personal greeting given at
| the hands OF his fellow townsmen
than from any Of the successes that
have come to him in the sixteen years
of his political life.
Dalton was decorated with bunting
and flags, and arches OF national col
ors were raised over the village
lstreet and at the town hall. The pro.
gram included parade Of militia, fra.
ternal organizations, citizens and
school children and the presentation
OF $500 silver loving cup. The cup
which is simple and dignifled In de.
sign, is about 1S inches high and is a
heavy piece of silver made in spe-
cial design, SO that no duplicate OF 1t
exists. The base and bowl are orna.
mented with pattern of daisy leaves
and blossoms, which have been most
skilfully executed by hand. The in.
terror of the bowl is heavily gilded
On the face OF the bowl is the follow
ing dedicatory inscription:
Winthrop Murray Crane, Lieuten.

19o0-1902; United States Senator, DC.

wealth and Nation An Expression of
Affection from the People of Dalton,
Massachusetts, and a Remembrance
Of his Sixtieth Birthday, April %,
1913"
With the cup was presented large
album containing the names of 1000
citizens of Dalton who made contribu-
tions for 1t. Only Dalton people were
asked to contribute, so that the Gun
is their exclusive remembrance to
Mr.. Crane; and the fact that so many
subscriptions were received, in all
amounts, large and small, is an indica-
ton of the general esteem in which
he is held and the eager interest in
the plan to honor him. The album is
a handsome book covered in brown
morocco leather, with interlinings OF
gray watered satin. The paper for its
leaves was handmade by the L. l.
Brown Paper Company, of Adams
and given by them for the occasion
The tops of the leaves are heavily
gilded and the sides and bottom are
deckle-edged The first page bears IN
hand-illuminated lettering the dedica
ton: Winthrop Murray Crane, from
the people of Dalton. 1913"
