FEAR TO TRUST THE MARRIED
Men In High Place Give the Best Po-
sitions to the Bachelors, for
UnaaIIant Reasons.

The stars In their courses seem to
be fighting against the married man,
says the San Francisco Argonaut. 1t
appears that he is now to be discrim-
mated against on the ground that he
is certain to impart trade secrets to
his wife, who as we ali know, is equal
ly certain to impart them in her own
peculiar ways to the world at large.
The latest employer to. join this I'M
holy league against the married man,
and thus to increase the natural peTls
Of his position, is Sir Thomas Upton.
His only chance to win the America
cup is to preserve inviolable secrecy
as to the design of his new yacht, and
he is therefore rigid in his decis on
that only bachelors need apply for
work in his yard.
Another impenitent offender in this
respect is Lord Kitchener, who not
only refuses to have any married man
on his staff in time of war, but who
promptly removes from his staff any
officer guilty of matrimony during
active service. 1t seems, therefore,
that the old charge against women of
inability to keep a secret must be en-
larged. Not only are they themselves
incapable of keeping a secret, but they
decline to allow their husbands to
do so.

IS WORLDS GREATEST Bank
Lloyd's Total Now Mounts Up 70 No
Less Than Five Hundred Mil
lion Dollars.

With its recent acquisition of the
Wits & Dorset Banking company
Lloyd's bank Of London becomes prob
ably the greatest financial corporation
of its kind, as it's deposit and cur
rent account now aggregates more
than $500,000,000.
Lloyd's bank has a history extend
ing over long period Of years, as the
private bank out of which it was
formed was established in 1865, and
the present banking corporation was
formed in 1865. Including it's latest
acquisition, the bank has absorbed no
less than AZ other banking houses
since 1865, and Of these 80 were pri-
vate banks, one of these dating back
to 1877. The bank is represented in
45 out Of the 81 counties in England
and Wales, and a subsidiary company
was formed in 1911 to open a branch
in Paris, an old French private bank
ing house being taken over.
It is unusual for an English Joint
stock bank to organize a subsidiary
for doing business in a foreign coun-
try. but this plan had to be adopted
Under the French law, to conduct, a
banking business in France would
have rendered the entire capital of
the bank. no matter where located,
subject to taxation In all, Lloyd's
bank now has $50 separate offices.
While an incorporated bank, the ira
ditions of the private banking days
yet remain, and practically every Off

ayers were educated in private bank
ing houses, and preference is always
given to men so educated in taking on
new employes.-Wall Street Journal.

Uncle Sam viii Test Your Watch.
Regular testing of watches for the
public was inaugurated by the United
States bureau of standards recently,
thus taking UP the testing and certifi-
cation of watches in q similar manner
TO that carried on by the Kew observa-
tory in England, the Besancon OBJ
servatory in France and the Geneva
and Neuchatel observatories in Swift
zerland. Preliminary tests upon the
various types and makes of American
watches have already been made, the
results of which have been the modifi-
cation of European testing methods
and the establishment of certain stand
ards of tolerences for practical serv-
ice. The possession of government
certificate will enable the owner of a
certified watch" to know that ne has
a timepiece which conforms to the
average and reasonable performances
of high-grade adjusted watches The
fees for tests will merely cover the
actual cost of the trials.

Terrible Misfortune,

''They are shifting consuls on the
merit system" said Jerome S. Me-
Wade, the Duluth collector. Here's
a man in Shanghai at $4,000 getting
shifted to Barcelona at $4,000. An
other consul with a Warsaw job at
$4,000 is shifted on the merit system
to Fiume at $4,000. A few more such
shifts, and where will the poor fellows
land?
Shifting consuls on the merit sys-

FERTILIZERS for FALL
SEEDING and TOP DRESSING

Many farmers are finding it to
their advantage to seed down in, the
fall, claiming that by soydoing they
are apt to get a much better catch
than they do when they follow the
usual practice and seed down in 1the
spring.
The same is true regarding top
dressing grass land. Some of the
most progressive farmers put on
top-dressing Immediately after ghay-

ton of nitrate CT soda the following

Porter H. Dale the Man
For Congress

A very proper man for United
States congressman from the
Second District of Vermont is Col.
Porter H. Dale Of Island Pond,
state senator from Essex County.
He is peculiarly we'll fitted by ed
ucation. temperament and expert
ence to succeed such able men as
Col. Haskins and Frank Plumley,
and is steadily making new friends
in his systematic canvass for the
nomination.
Col. Dale s man of excellent
character, essentially sane, solid
and practical in his views, methods
and purposes. Sohoolel in law
and literature, he is also schooled
in business. A strong, serious
minded man of magnetic PERSONAL
ity, his reputation as a public
speaker has long been established
while his considerable achieve
ments in business are there in Els
sex County and elsewhere. He
knows the needs of Vermont, APP
preciates what Congressional bills
may do to enlarge the market for
some Of its products, and, happily,
has no schemes5for remaking the
Earth overnight. Col. Dale sis a
lifelong Republican, but is receiv-
ing the support of many Progress
sives as well.
Porter H. Dale was born in Is
land Pond in the town of Brighton,
VT, in 1867. He attended the
Montpelier Grammar fSchool and
Eastman Business College of
Poughkecpsic, n. Y, studied un-
der private tutors in Boston and
Philadelphia, studied in tie Halter
city for two years with that Fnoted
Shakespearean scholar and actor
the lamented James +. Murdoch,
and took the class honor for elocu-
ton and Oratory, Philadelphia, in
1880. Subsequently she taught
Shakespeare in Bates college,
Lewiston, Me-, .and was formerly
known as a reciter Of Shakespear
can plays to mony cities and towns
of New England and in the Prov
ince Of Quebec.
Our strong-visaged friend was
for short time engaged in the rea,
estate business in Minneapolis
where and whence he obtained
some knowledge of the Northwest
Personal observation has made hin
somewhat acquainted with the
Pacific Coast and with Old Mexico
and he hiss travelled i'll nearly
every state of the Union. A lawye
by profession, but more of a bust
ness man in recent years, Col. DALI
studied law under his father, Lieut.
Gov. George N. Dale of Vermont
who died in 1902 and was admitted
TO the bar i'll 1906. During hi
tong%spractice Of the law he ha
never been retained by any Corpor
ate interest, and has been conspic
uously successful in settling per
sonal injury claims of railroad EN-
ployes, he having settled many o
them without expense TO theclaim
ants.
Col. Dale was elected to the Yer
IN ont Senate from Essex Count.

but when he has had something 10
say. and has proceeded TO say i,
with 10 "buts, lis nor ands, and
without stops at way stations.
When then President Taft visited
the Vermont Legislature Sin 1912,
Col. Dale presided cover the Joint
Assembly which greeted the well
come guest.
Through long years Col. Dale
has been signally successful in
business, to which he has devoted
the greater part of hiss time. Om-
hitting mention of his activities in
minor { commercial capacities, it
shonld be noted that he is president
of the lIsland Pond Electric Co.,
president of lhe Island Pond
National Shank, president of the
Kingmau Lumber Co.of Maine and
a director of the Fftzdale Paper
Co. of Fitzdale, VT, which village
was named after the late George
Fitzgerald and SenatorDale himself
tn ey two having started the entire
pulp and paper industry in
Vermont.
Col. Dale is not all STACEY"
Notwithstanding his studies with
the great Murdoch and his own
Shakespearean attachments. He is,
on the contrary, an of-haud, every
day sort of a fellow, who looks
folks straight in the eyes and has
a good faculty for friend-ma king.
In his careful, open canvass for the
nomination, he will personally call
on the majority Of the voters of the
| Second District and has already
visited a good many of them. eff

to the voters, 81 will come to see
you every year Of my term, and l
will eepEeverlastingly after your
| personal interests when at the
front. I will try to advance with
your ideas, and to deal with
national issues in a broad and lib
eral and Just manner"
About fve-sixths of the members
of the present United States Con-
gress were elected to it when they
we're under fifty years Of age. Col.
Dale, forty-seven, is therefor e
about the right age, and he is for
tunate in knowing very many OF
the older men as we'll as very, many
Of the younger men of the extensive
Second District. He IS. for reasons
enough, very popular with the old

WASHINGTON, June 25.-After
conference with Secretary Bryan Presi-
dent Wilson authorized the statement
today that the outlook in the Mexican
situation was more promising than
ever before.
1t was minated by officials close to
the President that his feeling was
based on the signing of the protocol at
Niagara Falls last night and on the
expectation that the internal affairs
of Mexico would be satisfactorily adj
justed between the representatives of
the constitutionalists and Huerta dele
gates.
Administration officials made no ef-
fort to conceal their pleasure of the
report of the taking of Zaeatecas by
Gen. Villa.
1t was admitted that in the view of
the administration the victory at
Zacatecas increases the Importance of
! Villa in the constitutional cause.
Confidence that the constitutional rep
resentatives will work with the. Huerta
delegates was expressed by officials
close to the President.
| 1t was intimated that the influence of
/ Villa was expected to have an impor-
tant part in the decision of that ques-
| tion.
/ 4 report was current today that Her
/ bert J. Brown of Washington had
! been sent to Mexico by President Will
| son to confer with Gen. CarranZa, but
1 there was no official confirmation.
! Last night 5 formal session of media
/ tors and delegates ut Niagara Falls,
which began at lois clock prepared
the way for the complete settlement of
the difficulties between the United
States and Mexico growing out of the
4 failure of Huerta officer at Tampico
to salute the stars and stripes, which
was demanded as PREPARATION for the ar
rest of American blue Jackets. The sin
/ gle outstanding proviso in the protocol
is that the international problem shall
be declared adjusted on the establish
ment of the new provisional govern
ment. The protocol sets FORTH
That the United States and Argen
tina, Brazil and Chili-the mediatina
countries-shall recognize the new pro
yisionaI government, and that thence
forth diplomatic relations between tn,
!. United States and Mexico shall be re
stunned.
That the United States demands M
indemnity and does not further exac
satisfaction for any of the incident
7 connected with the patrol of Mexican
waters and invasion of the country.
That commission shall be appointet
10 adjust private claims growing out O
the revolution and international incl
dents.
The protocol was drafted early yes
to-day, and its pbraseology telegraphe'
to Washington for approval At
. clock last night word came fror
President Wilson and Secretary Brya
authorizing the American delegates t
sign it. The Mexican delegation ha
not expected so prompt a response. D.
