Every Board of Trade in Connecticut sent a delegate to the Bos- ton meeting. Secretary H. W. Tibbitts represented Norwich Board of Trade and c. H. Haskell the Coal Dealers association.

Said Mondays New York World editorially:
 the turkey than Horace Vose. For well over forty years the Rhode Is land farmer had Loyalty provided the White House with the central attrac tion of it's Thanksgiving dinner. Grant, Hayes. Arthur, Cleveland, liar rison Mckinley, Roosevelt Taft and Wilson each received his annual con- tribution The choicest of his hochs was reserved for the President of the United States. He might be republi- can or democrat; he might be stand batter or a tariff-reformer he might hold any views on the trusts or the currency--it made no difference to Vose so long as he was president. In the matter of turkeys, Vose was a hidebound non-partisan.
 Regardless of political principles, from the time he was young man Vose made it his business to raise the finest turkeys that skill, care and good feed could produce and to fatten the best of the year for the White House table By his faithful preparations for the annual event he made himself national figure Many men have won fame for less deserving services.
 No doubt. now that he is dead there will be plenty of claimants for Hor- ace Vose's place, but it will be hard to fill. He won his honors by merit, and he held them the same way.

cific Ocean into the Panama Canal
The roar that preceded the rush OF
the western waters into the great
man-made channel was followed by
cheers from several thousand per
sons who watched the work from the
hills. 1t was to dispose of the dixie
south of Miraflores docks that the
big blast was set off.
The engineers exploded 32,750
pounds of dynamite that had been
loaded into 23G holes. SO eXcellently
was the task carried out that all
those 236 charges were shot like
one. The jar felt in Panama City
was like a slight earthquake. All
the buildings in the city thrilled with
the vibrations,
The dixie had done it work. 1t had
damned the waters of Ancon har-
Dor, in the Gulf of Panama, on the

Miraflores. The time was set for its
destruction, and having been made

appointed hour found thousands Of
American visitors, some resident and
others sightseers, swarming the hill
side to see this important step to-

INCREASES CAPITAL
AND NAT|ONAL|zES
ARDMORE STATE BANK BECOMES
STATE NATIONAL eANk-RE-
TAINS SAME OFFICERS.

The Ardmore State Bank national
lied today. It's capital stock was
raised from 100000 to 100000. Nd
change was made in the officers or
in the management in any way 1t
was nationalized under the name OF
the State National Bank.
The officers are C. T. Barringer
president; Byron Drew, vice presi-
dent; Harold Wallace, cashier; Fred
C. Carr, assistant cashier.
A telegram reached the Ardmore
State Bank Saturday from the United
States comptroller of the currency
giving that institution authority to
nationalize and permission came
without a re- examination, which
shows the high standing the bank
has with the national government.
The Ardmore State Bank was or
ganized in May, 1908, and began
business in June of that year. 1t was
organized by Harold Wallace, who
was at that time employed with the
Ardmore National Bank, and c. 7.
Barringer, stockman. 1t began
with a capital of $4,000 and its first
statement published showed deposits
of $4,000. The capital was after
ward increased to s60,6Oe and the de-
posits have gradually grown until the
last statement made ON the 4th DAY
of April showed the institution to
have on deposit $36S,OOO, 1t was the
largest state bank south of Oklaho-
ma City and has enjoyed a splendid
growth.
The capital stock is now 100000
many new stockholders have been
added to the institution and its
sphere Of usefulness has been aug
mented by the addition of this great
er sum of money
Since the Ardmore State has taken
out a national charter there is but
one state bank in the city. That is
the Guaranty State Bank, of which
p. c. Dings is president.
