JOHN RITCHIE IS y.
Bank Employees and Directors Sent
Him Pleasant Remembrance
Tuesday.

When John Richie walked into
the Citizens Savings Bank and Trust
Company's room early yesterday
morning, he knew it was his 72d
birthday, but he did not suppose other
folks knew it. When business start
ed he had occasion to step out of his
room and when he returned there
were a dozen roses with card from
the employees and four dozen car
nations from the directors of the bank
arranged on his table with congratul-
atoms. Uncle John" was much sur
prised and very much pleased with
this recognition from his associates.
For 81 years Mr.. Richie has serv-
ed as treasurer of this bank and de-
spite his advanced years is the first
man to report at the bank building
for duty each morning. The bank
was opened 81 years ago February
1887, in the building now occupied
by F. A. Scott and Co. Mr.. Richie
was an employe of E. and T. Fair
banks and Co. at that time and left
there to enter the bank. He has
been at his desk almost without in
terruption during that time and has
seen the institution grow from a
small one room business to an in
stitution owning and occupying one
of the best blocks of the village.
Mr.. Richie was obliged to be out
of the bank for a time about L
years ago on account of illness, but
had been steadily at his work until
last summer when the directors voted
him long vacation and he with his
brother Andrew made a four weeks
trip to the Pacific coast
Mr.. Ritchie is still active and hi
acquaintance will wish him many
years of business activity.

Astronomy.

If there were any money to be made
in astronomy everybody would be
studying it. About all we can see is
figures. and these are so big that they
stagger the understanding. Every
child in the United States knows how
to find the nOrth star from the point
ers of the dipper. but no child can
appreciate the statement that this star
is distant from the earth 210.000,0OO.-
100000 miles-two hundred and ten
trillions! A railroad train travelling
at one mile minute would have to
run without stopping for 479.OOO.0 900
years in order to traverse this dis
lance. If light really travels 1871 500
miles second a ray from the north
star would be thirty-six years in
reaching the earth.
