There is general impression in the minds of
many that the facilities of bank are designed only
forthe benefit of persons Of large means. Among
others, even though depositors of bank there Of
ten exists the idea that the bank is merely depos-
tory for funds and convenient place to allow mon
ey toeaccumulate until needed or to be checked out
in the payment of Indebtedness.
"A Not,every one possesses the full conception Of
thesemi-pubic nature of the bank and the many sid
ed service rendered by it to the community as well
as its individual patrons On the other hand, not
all banks measure up to this broad and exactlng de-
milton as what financial Institution should be.
s{asIt is pleasure to be able to point to the First
National Bank of Fairmont an example of a
modern, well managed semi-pubic institution, fully
meeting the requirement of its patrons and the com
munity, while maintaining all those honored tradi-
ti0nS which make every resident look up with re-
Spect and confidence to its management.
A properly conducted bank is surely semi-pub-
lie institution, and the First National Bank has well
earned this title It not only safeguards the funds
entrusted tos care but renders varied and helpful
service. E~ ~ =
The directorate Of the First National Bank in
cludes some of the leading public spirited this
section-Chas E. Wells, Bendolph D. Fleming, Thos.
T. Hail. Emmett M. Showalter, H T. Smith, Howard
w. Showalter, VIM. w. Watson, A B Scott and John
o. Morgan. Of these, who are directors in truth as
ives as in name the active daily management Of the
institution has been entrusted to Chas. E. Wells
president; Howard w. ShoWalter, Bendolph D.
Fleming and H. F. Smith, vice presidents; John O..
Morgan, cashier, and J. F. Richie, assistant cash
ier
This conservatvely conducted bank has shown
its progressiveness in many ways by being an active
and consistent influence in the advancement Of the
community commercially and in other ways, by ex-
tending such courtesies and accommodations to in
divdual patrons within the prescribed limits
of sound banking, by rendering broadly helpful
financial service far beyond the scope Of merely re-
ceiving and paying outmoney; by steadily adyanc-
ing in financial strength, in helpfulness and ability
to meet the growing needs of the community.
The Federal Government, in order to encourage
National Banks to increase their resources in pro-
portion to their growth in responsibility maintains
what is known as a "Roll of Honor among banks in
the National System-banks having large SURPRISES

UNCLE SAM NOT TO PAY
COST OF PAUPER'S BURIAL
No Reason Why Government Should
Bear Expense, Rules Con-
troller Downey.

Not that 800 is an extravagant funeral
for pauper, not because popular sub
scription has already met the expense.
the United States government to bury
pauper any more than it should bury
any other dead American, is the reason
why Uncle Sam will not be charged with
the cost, as given by George T.. Downey,
controller of the Treasury.
Albert Berg was buried at Fairbanks,
Alaska. and the bill sent to S. T. Erwin.
United States marshal, who inquired his
duty in the circumstances. The Alaskan
criminal code provides that. where
United States commissioner holds in
quest upon the body of stranger or a
pauper, and no friends relatives claim
of the commissioner as court expense
Controller Downey found that Berg had
not been subject for inquest. He argued
that the fact of an inquest implied subse-
quent judicial procedure to detect crime
and thus warranting the expense of burial
a public charge. The burial of pau
pers generally. he said is no part of the
duty of the courts their officers, and
Bergs body was not buried by order of
the commissioner for the district in which
he died
There is nothing in the case to distin-
guish the expense from that of any per-
son who dies in Alaska without means
or friends concludes Controller Downey.
That the hat was passed to make up a
burial fund he says. has not been sub
ject for considerat ton in his decision.

FEWER INFANTS SUCCUMB.
Health Record for the District of Co.
lumbia Improves.

Deaths of infants under one year of
age have been fewer during the year
just closed than in any previous twelve
months in the history of the District
of Columbia. In 1912 the number was
SEA- record which it was thought might
be hard TO maintain. Last year, accord
ing to a report by the health department,
but ST. infants under one year of age
have died.
The new record far surpasses the ex-
pectation of the health officials and is
believed to indicate substantial i'm
prOYement in infant mortality condi-
tions in the District.
A striking feature of the mortality
for the past week. according to the
departments report. is the age dis
tribution of the decedents. OF 1874
deaths reported. twenty-one, or but Is
per cent, occurred among persons less
than twenty years of age. Still more
striking is the fact ii is pointed out,
that but per cent of the mortality is
represented by infants less than one
year of age.

REPLACING FISH NETS.
Had Been Swept Away by Storm on
New Jersey Coast.

Reports received at the 18th street
wharf wholesale fish market, from the
New Jersey coast fisheries, state that
the nets which were carried away in the
recent big storm on the coast are being
replaced slowly, and it was expected by
today several of the larger nets would be
in position and ready for use. AS Wash
ington depends largely on the Jersey coast
fisheries for its supply of fresh fish this
news is of special interest here Since
the carrying away of the nets receipts of
fresh fish by the local market have been
very light and frozen fish are again on
sale to help to meet the demand, which
is said to be rather light
Fishermen on the Potomac, it is stated,
are preparing to take up all nets in ex-
posed places as ice has made each night
for about a week and the net owners are
fearful that heavy freeze will come and
carry their nets away.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Columbia.

In no better or more effective way, per-
haps, may modern theatrical perversion-
one is almost tempted to say depravity-
be corrected than by the yearly presen-
tation of the old English comedies, with
their grace of manner, the beauty of their
diction and the delicate refinement which
gives to their plots and their humor the
rare richness of old wine. And to Miss
Annie Russell whose personal effort and
even sacrifice have made possible their
present revival, is due much appreciation
from intelligent men and women who
patronize the theater for their amuSe-
ment.
Those who do not know can scarcely
imagine the real delight given by such
performance as that of Oliver Cold
smiths classic comedy she Stops to
didly trained company at the Columbia
Theater last night. Those who do know,
ii is safe to predict, will not miss the
last opportunity afforded by the present
engagement this evening, for after then

Miss Russell, talented actress of in
telicct and experience has given to her
roles in these splendid old plays the
artistic study, care and devotion which
enable her to present them with rare
fidelity to tradition. Her reward is the
pleased and contented audiences she
turns away nightly. Her impersonation
of Kate Hardcastle is charming enter
tainment from the time she dons the
housemaid's garb until she finally wins
her timid lover through experiences ir-
resiStibly humorous. +. Percival Stevens
