Senator Prices bill for a rearrange-
ment of the personnel of the board of
health so that the business interests
will have some representation on it,
seems to come nearer meeting the
situation than does the one which has
been presented to the house by Rep

the widest discussion of this matter
is advisable, and the more views on it
advanced, the easier it will be to ar
rive at the best possible solution.

sUsPENDERs SUSPENDED.

IN chicago recently a manufacturer
OF suspenders went into bankruptcy.
That, of itself, wasn't strange, but the
reason set forth was unusual He did
not blame the Bull Octopus, nor the
increase demand for automobile tires
The rubber in suspenders never lasted
long enough to make much difference,
anyhow. No, none of these causes he
offered, but blamed instead the ulti-
mate consumer, who is generally
counted on to make business profitable.
Ihere aren't enough of him, any more,
the manufacturer says and so he
turned his face and business toward
the wall, and that right after sea-
SON of Yuletide when gay galluses in
molly boxes have, or have had, such
vogue. Belts are to blame, and the
man who formerly attracted attention
py making one of them do the work
of pair of suspenders has added allies
until ne can now claim majority,
ana hand in increasing the price of
leather. 1t has been a quiet usurper
the belt, first posing as a thing of
beauty rather than utility, in the old
days when men wore shirt waists with
suspenders under cover, but still bear
ing the burden of trousers. Then it
was found the belt alone would do
through the two-piece suit season, when
the weather was warm and man didn't
about to lose his neither raiment. Still,
it was believed that the suspender had
a clnch on the situation in winter when
its general utility gould be concealed
beneath a loud voiced vest. But from
the evidence offered sit seems not so.
More and more the suSpender is being
suspended from the active list, particu-
larly in the cities where mans bid for
the beautiful is holder than in the rural
districts, so far as personal adornment
is concerned. OF course the suSponder
is not due to become extinct, old-fash-
Toned men who seek the easiest way of
keeping their trousers adjusted will see
to that. But it's general use seems
doomed, for it is the youngsters who
are growing up to take our places who
are the firmest allies of the belt. They
shall form the habit which even in
creasing girth will not break. To men
whose boyish ambition ran toward sus-
penders it is hard to believe, but other
institutions have faded and disap-
peared; it is hard to find pair of con-
gress shoes or a bootjack nowadays

Ter.

The stockholders of the Salem Bank
& Trust company held their annual
meeting at their office on the 2Sth, and
elected directors for the ensuing year.
They were j. H. Ahlers, S. S. East, DR..
Sleeves, l.. II. Roberts, and in addi-
tion S, B. Elliott, a new man in Salem,
but not new in the banking business,
he having lately come here from Mo
berly Missouri, where he had been
with the Mechanics Savings Bank, one
of the most substantial banks in North
ern Missouri, Mr.. Elliott having been
with that institution for IS years, for
the last eight years acting in the ca
Ipacity of cashier and director, during
which time he saw it grow in deposits
| from $l5O,O00 to over $f,000,OO0. Mr..
Elliott decided he wanted to live on
the Pacific coast, and resigned as
cashier and director and started out
to find a location After travelling ex.
Itensiyely he met, and was advised by
Mr.. Russell Catlin to visit Salem. He
was so well pleased with the city and
| its people that he decided to locate
here, and, after thorough investiga-
tion, he bought an interest in the Sa-
lem Bank & Trust company, and has
been elected director and cashier,
which will add to the strength of the
bank as he is thorough banker, and
a young man full Of push and energy.
He will also be a valuable acquisition
to the social life, as he is an Elk and
already Salem booster. At the meet
ing Of the directors the cashiers re-
port was read, showing a fine growth
in business for the past year, notwith-
standing the disadvantages under
which it has labored.
The building is about completed, and
the offices, which are as fine as there
are in the city, about all occupied. The
tenants appreciate the automatic ele-
vator after business hours, when the
operator is not there The president,
Mr.. Ahlers, and Vice-President S. S.
East were reelected. They have both
made host of friends since coming to
our city, and have inspired confidence
among business men by their frank
manners and fair dealing We bespeak
rapid growth for the bank, it al.
ready having established itself as one
of Salems substantial institutions.

appellants were convicted in the cir

crime of obtaining the signature Of a
person by means Of false pretenses.
Certain oil well people in California
were prominent in the prosecution.
The divorce case OF Frank Holton,
respondent VS.. Josephine Holton, ap-
pellant, was affirmed in an opinion
written by Justice Burnett The Hol-
tons were married in Vancouver in
1906, and in 1910, the respondent here
in commenced action for divorce. Fif-
teen months following a decree rem
dered in his favor by the circuit court
Of Washington county, the respondent
filed a motion requesting that the rec
ords be changed to show that he was
the defendant and that his wife was
the plaintiff in order to perfect them
relative to the number of years the
wife had been q resident of this state.
The motion was denied and the appeal
was taken. Justice Burnett holds that
the court erred in failing to perfect
the records.

In an opinion written by Chief JUS
tice Mcbride and concurred in by JUS
tice Burnett, the legality of the cor
pOration known as the Port of Bay
City was declared perpetuated and the
long standing litigation over this par
ticular port is at last quieted, for a
time at least. The opinion held that
the contestants contention that the
port is not legal corporation accord
| ing to statute is erroneous, in that the
election held for the purpose of es-
tabllshing the port was proper and
legal in every detail and that the re.
monstranco instituted in the courts
had no bearing upon the true phase Of
the statute, Trining irregularities
should not be tolerated in the courts

of Bay City has been perfected, de.
