NOW CONTROL BANK
Southnidc Men Form Syndicate. and
Purchase Manchester National.

PurChaBG Manchester NattOhnI.
BY deal closed yesterday. the in
terest In the Manchester National
Bank held by w. L. Walters, presi-
his associates. has been acquired by
a syndicate of Southside business men
headed by Colonel Frank p. Neon
nell. 1t Is understood that the sale
means complete severance Of all
connections between the two banks, II
being the intention OF the purchasers
OF Mr. Walters's holdings to make the
Manchester National purely a South
side institution
The Manchester National Bank was
established ten years ago with state
chartcr 1t was capitalized at $4,000.
but the rapid growth of the communi
" demanded better banking facilf-
Ties. and the concern was reorganizcd
and became a national bank with
capital stock OF 100000 just prior to
consolidation. New blood was Inject
ed INTO the business. ard another re-
organization about a year ago brought
the capital up to $4,000 and the con
trolling interest went into the hands
OF Mr.. Walters Colonel Mcconnell q
director In the Commonwealth Bank,
became It's president
In taking over control OF the bank
the Southside syndicate has no inten-
ton of changing Its policy. and Will
retain the present officers and en-
ployes. The new owners are practi
cally all South Richmond men. and
several are already large stock hold
ers. Colonel Mcconnell will continue
as president. and will II is stated,
sever his connections with tho Com
monweaith Bank. while Mr. Walters,
1T liz thought. will resign the vice
presidency OF the Southslde inBtitu-
ton.
There IS a strong possibility that the
Manchester National Bank will erect
new building in short time, as the
Leader Building. in which II now mas
quarters, was disposed OF several
weeks ago II had been intended to
remodel the structure and make an up
to-date Office building out Of II. but this
will not be done. The present bank quar-
tiers are overcrowded. and change
will probably be necessary.

UTILIZING sILo IN SUMMER
Farmers Who Are Complaining Of
Small Profits From Cattle Should
Study Huge Receptacle.

The use Of the silo throughout the
year is finding favor with many stock
keepers. 1t is quite difficult to obtain
a profit on pasture which Is on land
worth 500 or more per acre. During
drouth seasons the pasture is often
SO poor that it affords little or no feed,
but the interest on the investment
and the taxes must be found. There
is no question but that the use OF
silage for summer feeding will make
rapid gains during the next few years.
and will soon come into common use.
The millions Of tons of corn stalks
and rough silage, which are now
annually going to waste will find use
in the form of silage and will make
possible not only cheaper production
of stock and stock products. but will
also make 1t possible to at least
double the profit of stock raising
Farmers who are complaining of low
profits from cattle should make q
study of the silo, as they will here
find means to increase their profits
and do this with less labor.

MUST BE USED WITH CARE
Hooks-snd-Eyes, Necessary Dress Ap
pustsnanees. Require Some
Consideration.

Next to the woman with too many
buttons ON her dress we have the

az careless a. the human pincushion.
who always attires herself In gar
ments fastened with safety or white
headed pins. Hooks and eyes are con
venient, and we wonder how we could
do without them. but they are sadly
abused. Hooks and eyes must ft close
ly and be hidden from view. Were
they ornamental features Of dress.
they would be intended for outside
wear and would be Of fine material.
A successful way to keep hooks ano
eyes closed is to always use a hook
one size larger than the eye. They nj
more closely than those Of the same
size. When hooks are bent they should
be removed and replaced with gooo
ones. II you are doubtful about hooks
being rustproof. drop little machine
oil into the palm of your hand and rue
the hooks In 1t. This will prevent rust
ing, but as there are rustproof hooks
one should always buy that kind.

hot or very cold weather fine quality
of clover hay will produce excellent
results.
Calves should have milk until they
are five or six months old. for best re-
suits. II they are forced to subsist on
coarse feeds and grain too young they
will be stunted, as their digestive
system is not developed enough to
handle such food exclusively at an
early age.
Cotton seed meal should never be
fed to calves under twelve months of
age. 1t always proves detrimental to
development Of the young calf. This
being true, 1t is better to feed such
feeds as oats, bran and corn, which
are known to be satisfactory. To Sc
cure good size the animal should con-
tinue to grow steadily until mature.
II allowed to stop growing, through
neglect In feeding, or other causes,
they become more or less stunted.
