This building was built by the dir
ectors on land purchased for the
purpose in 1856. The banking
rooms-two in number-were in the
east end of the building, now used
as the office of Mr.. Wilson. The
new bank began business in a mod
est way, with plain and simple
surroundings. There was marked
absence Of the mahogany and mar
BILE so conspicuous in the furnish
ings of the bank of the present day.
The money was deposited over a
plain counter more suggestive OF
the village grocery store than a
modern bank, and many features
figured in the service which are un-
heard of at later day. Check
books were sold rather than given
to the depositors, while notes went
to protest without any notice or
warning from the bank itself. 1t
was considered the business Of the
borrower to look after these details
rather than trust to the bank for
such service.
The vault built in the wall of the
main room is still in the building,
and presents marked contrast to
the present idea Of safety. AL
though in keping with the best
patents Of the time, it was merely
large iron box built between the
walls, with an inconspicuous door,
opened by a heavy brass key, back
Of the cashiers desk. Any towns
man wishing to protect his valu-
ables brought them here and they
were deposited with the belongings
of the bank in the one general
vault
By 1897 the bank had grown to a
proportion which demanded larger
quarters and work was begun on a
new building located on the north
side of Main street opposite the
Newark M. E. Church. The build
ing has since afforded convenient
and commodious quarters, in keep

Bank of Newark. " Daniel Thomp-
son, grandfather Of the present dir
ector of the same name, became the

After the strenuous days OF the
Civil War, when a greater and
mightier business era began, the
bank was re-incorporated in the
year 1865, under the federal gov
rernment as a national bank with
Joseph Hossinger, a farmer living
on the Greek Road and grandfath-
er of Mayor Joseph II. Hossinger,
as President.
In order to enlarge its sphere OF
usefulness i'll response to the de-
mand of the time, the bank was re-
incorporated second time IN Feb
ruary 1913, with all the powers of a
trust company, under the new title
Of the Farmers Trust Co. of New
ark. The bill making this last
change was introduced by Repre-

The deposits at the Farmers
Trust Co. of Newark at the close
of business, March 23, 1914, were
$434, ,292.33. Apropos of these fig
ures brief review Of the history
of the bank and it's connection with
the life Of the community may be
interesting.
In the early 1S5O's, Newark was
quiet rambling town Of probably
1900 inhabitants. Her industries
included the Casho Machine Coz,
Curtis and Bro. paper mills and the
Dean Woolen factory. The Penn
sylvania railroad, running mile
south of town connected the vii
lage with the outside world. There
was no bank within the limits of the
town and most of the business of
this nature was transacted in Will
mington. A drive to "town y
meaning Wilmington-over rough
heavy roads, was frequent neces-
sity in those days.
During the year 1855, number
of men prominent in the life Of the
community had prepared bill for
the incorporation Of a State bank
in Newark. Under it's provisions
men were appointed commissioners
to open the books, secure subscrip-
tions to stock, ETC., as follows

PUBLIC LIBRARIES OPEN.
Reading Public of Paris Shows Happy
 Tranquility of Mind.

Paris, Nov. 0.-(Corresponden of the Associated Press. )-At the be- ginning of the war the proposed closing of the public libraries, as well as some other state and city in- stitutions, was much discussed but it was finally decided to leave them open. Statistics for the month of August and September of the num- Der of books loaned to readers show that the decision was a wise one.
 More than 43,0O0 volumes were loaned in August and more than co., 900 in September. The figure for October will be even greater than for the month of September. The fact is taken as indicating a very happy tranquility of mind on the part of the reading public In Paris.

 sTUFFY HEAD-COLD AND cATARRH GO

fragrant balm dissolves by the heat of the nostrils; penetrates and heals the infamed, swollen membrane which lines the nose, head and throat; clears the air passages; stops nasty discharges and a feeling of cleansing, soothing relief comes inn mediately.
 Don't lay awake tonight struggling for breath, with head stuffed; nostrils closed, hawking and blowing. Catarrh or cold, with it's running nose, foul mucous dropping into the throat and raw dryness is distressing but truly needless.
 Put your faith-just once-in "Ely's Cream Balm and your cold or catarrh will surely disappear.

earlier throughout England,

earlier throughout England, othe measures are discussed. One is that women be barred from the public houses altogether, since many Of them have more money to spend while their husbands are away at the war. Another is to exclude women from the drinking places in the morning.
 Nina Boyle who is at the head of the political and militant department of the Women's Freedom league, makes an indignant protest in a let ter to the prime minister's secretary
 Provoking Indignation.
 sIt is my duty to warn you that these repeated attacks on our fiber ties are provoking the deepest indig- nation among men and women alike, . says her letter. Miss Boyle also wrote:
 May I point out to you-

they have the same right to spend their money as they like as men have.
 That no attempt, apparently, Is being engineered to regulate the all lowance of soldiers and sailors, many of whom, according to information supplied me, are spending the money paid them by the government on drink and immoral women without restraint
 Comparison Not Possible.
 That there has been no increase in drinking among women since the outbreak of war at all proportionate to the increase of drinking among men.
 The probable reason for the statement that more women are drinking now is that at the present time public houses are so thronged with male customers--of whom an enormous number are men in uni- form-that women cannot gain access to the premises and are served out side, where naturally they are more conspicuous

PARIS BETTER FED
 SINCE WAR BEGAN
Coarser Quality of Bread to Which Bakers Are Confined by Govern
 ment Law Only Complaint.

Correspondence of the Associated
 Press.)
 Paris November 2O.-Attention has already been called to the fact that Paris was never so we'll nor so cheaply fed as since the war began. This situation continues, and applies to the entire country, excepting the unfor- tunate regions that have been ravaged by the occupation of the hostile troops.
 Paris suffers in this respect from only one thing; it's delicate taste is rebellious to the coarser quality of bread to which bakers were confined by government order, and are pray ing that the bakers be permitted to furnish the pain de fantaisie' as they call the finer qualities of French bread.
 The limitation of baking to this one coarser quality was intended to so simplify the work of the bakers as to remedy the difficulty caused by the exodus of so many of their em- ployes to the front. Some of the higher classes of bakers, which ill Paris come under the category Of pastry-cooks, continue to make the 'crOissant which constitutes the principal part of the Parisans' break fast, but for the population in gen. eral there are no "croissants," no cakes or cookies or any sort and they are obliged to take common bread with their coffee in the morning.
 Formerly considerable quantities of Viennese bread called pain Vennois' were consumed in Paris, though in most cases it was not made in Vii enna.' It has been proposed to change the name of this bread to pain Liegeois," at the same time honoring the heroic Belgian town and getting rid of name that is no longer popular in Paris.

(Correspondence of the Associated
 Press)
 London, November 2O.-The la mented Prince Maurice of Battenberg was Queen Victorias youngest grand child and was such as great favorite with the queen that he passed the first few years of his life continuously in her company.
 Just few days before the princes untimely death he wrote to a mem Der of his family 'I am having the time of my life. Don't bother about me. It is like a picnic. I comman- dered a chicken and cooked if with eggs. Tell Mrs. - (the princess

cook) that it was better than any thing she ever cooked"
 Prince Maurice was the youngest son of Princess Henry of Battenberg and a first cousin of King George. He was leading his company of the King Royal Rifles at Ypres when a shrapnel bullet from bursting shell struck him and ended his life almost instantly. Prince Maurice was twenty three years old and held the rank of lieutenant in the army. He was the only prince born in Balmoral Castle In fact no other prince has been born in Scotland since 1900, when Charles was born at Dunferm- line.
 Prince Leopold, Prince Alexander and Prince Maurice, all three sons of Princess Henry, entered the service at the beginning of the war; Prince Leopold was invalided home with bullet in his knee before the death of his brother. The queen of Spain is a sister of the lamented prince.
