When the crusaders set forth up.

left his rlocks, the Norseman his fish

Gemand his fields, TO enter upon this
great mission. They had for leaders

II was in June In the year Of our

Of Syria overlooked by the eternal
cnows Of Lebanon, skirted along the
narrow strip of land whence the great

With all their shortcomings, the
spirit Of the Crusaders, with a will

their great enterprises, possesses for

"LIf any man would deny himself and
take up his cross and follow me" This

MOVING DAY IN 'KATO
From Mondays Daily.

Today is moving day in Mankato.
Not only are many people changing
their place of residence, but
number of offices are changing their
locations The second floor of the
new First National Bank building
has been completed and the three
upstairs suites are being moved into.
A. Anderson, the engraver, will
occupy suite of two rooms with
vault. He has north light i'll
both rooms, just the correct light for
his work The walls i'll his rooms,
as well as in the rest of the rooms
of the second floor, are tinted a dull
yellow, and the wood work is of dull
oak finish. A. r. Pfau, Jr., and c,
]. Laurisch, the attorneys, are also
moving into the building and will oc-
cupy a suite of three rooms on the
east end of the building. They have
a large waiting room with a vault.
and two rooms which will be used
as private offices by Mr. Pfau and
Mr.. Laurisch. Attorney B. d. Smith
also has a room which adioins their
suite.
The third group of rooms will be
occupied by the Widell company.
There are three large rooms, the

From Mondays Daily.

Frank p. Fairchild of Good Thun-
der, the well-known real estate man,
has instituted an action against G..
e. Fleming of Vernon Center for
personal injuries due, it is claimed,
Cured during the month of October,
1912
The plaintiff alleges in his com.
plant that the accident was due to
reckless driving on the part of the
defendant. The accident occurred
while the machine was approaching
a bridge over the Blue Earth river
in Vernon Center township and
while turning sharp corner at the
rate of from twenty-five to thirty
miles per hour, SO it is alleged in
complaint that the plaintiff protest
ed against this rate of speed, and
so did others who were in the auto,
so the complaint alleges.
1t is alleged that the auto was
thrown against the bridge and the
plaintiff was physically thrown with
great force out of the machine to
the ground and he was seriously in
jured. His hip was fractured, and
broken and he was injured about
the head, shoulders and body and
limbs. The plaintiff claims that the
injury TO the hip and thigh bone
is incurable and he will be perma-
nently lame
Mr.. Fairchild sues to recover $685.
0G0. The case will be tried in the
district court. The plaintiffs attor-
neys are A. II. Pfau, Jr., and G. J..
Laurisch.
At the time Of the accident Mr.
Fairchild, Otto Peterson, Vernon
Center and George Whitmore of Win
nebago were in the auto, and Mr..
Fleming was driving. The men had
been at a point in the county on a
real estate deal and were returning
to Vernon Center.

DIRECTORS ARE WARNED
From Mondays Daily.

That the $500 men who are di-
rectors of state banks in Minnesota
have not, as rule, been giving
sufficient attention to the detail of
management Of their banks is the
statement that features the biennial
report of Kelsey S. Chase, state
superintendent of banks, which will
soon be ready for distribution. Mr..
Chase's report contains a copy of a
letter written by the department to
every director III the state calling
attention to the responsibilities of
a directors office.
Without exception the banks that
the examiner finds in poor condition
are those wherein the directors dis
play lack OF interest and depend
too much upon the cashier or man
aging officer" the letter says.
A warning is given that here
after the department, in cases of
trouble, will assume that bank di-
rector knows as much Of the af-
fairs of his institution as he should
know, and hold him responsible aC-
cordingly.
Chains of banks are also spoken
Vi. Ht ucpdl lluelll ID IOI OppOSSu
to banks controlled by a set of
bankers who are interested in a
number of banks, the report says.
1t makes the point that the hon
esty of the men is the principal con-
sideration.
Wide diversion of stock control
has its bad features, the report says.
1t points out that banks owned and
managed by one man are usually the
safest, but that where a cashier is
employed with only nominal in
terest and the directors own only a
few shares each, a one-man bank is
usually full of errors and defects.
The department favors a law that
directors meetings take place at
least bimonthly in banks with assets
less than 100000 and monthly in
all other banks.
