LYME MAN IS
 OFF GAME COMMISSION
E. Hart Geer Succeeded by Charles
 H. Pease of Canaan.

Governor Baldwin on Wednesday announced the appointment of the fish and game commission of the state for two years from July 1 next He appointed Charles H. Pease of Canaan in place of E. Hart Geer of Old Lyme, who has been on the commission for many years and who has served as secretary of the commission
 The other two members of the com mission. Frank O. Davis of Pomfret and Dr. Frank w. Hewes of Groton are reappointed.
 The governors action in not reap pointing MT. Geer was not surprise. It is known that there was much op- position to him among sportsmen in the state and Governor Baldwin had been waited on at various times by those who did not agree with Mir Geer's policy in conserving the game interests of the state. It had been anticipated that the governor would appoint an entirely new commission. but this was not borne out by the announcement of the appointments to- day.

IN LOCAL FINANCIAL CIRCLES
By GEORGE H. GALL.

The wealth of the section of the
country from which Washington may
naturally expect to draw trade and
financial patronage, the South. Is in
creasing at a remarkable rate. as illus
trated by the figures for individual de-
posits in the national banks. The rate
of increase of such deposits in the past
twelve years has been 2i0.s per cent, as
compared with 12i.S per cent for the
rest of the country and 6s.s per cent for
the District of Columbia.
Individual deposits In financial insti-
tutions reached in 1912 a total Of $2322,-
s0i, ,762, of which S,05s, ,06s.475 were In
national banks and 81 2SS, $50, 81 were In
other financial institutions. In 1900
such deposits aggregated 1894, ,649. .6s3 in
national banks and $s46. oS.51 In other
institutions, total of $751;
46a,57. The total In the South In 1872
was more than three times the total
In 1900. The increase In individual de-
posits in national banks is shown by

-Four quarterly dividends of per
cent each have been paid. amounting to
The sum OF s560.0C0. and In addition the
sum OF $l6o S6O3 was paid to our de-
positors as interest"

companies "inequitable and unjust"
