their parts we'll, doing credit to
themselves, their school and their
director aud manager. The stage
setting was simple, representing a
bayfield,, but the handsome costumes
OF 200 years ago lent brilliancy to the
scenes. while the comedy Of play and
the pretty absurdities OF dialogue
were fully balanced by the excellent
singing of both the solo parts and the
choruses. Miss Eileen Clifford, in the

The New Year is no novelty. It is as
any other moment. except for emotions
it arouses in us, and the value the &C.
casion assumes in our minds. The for
tune we seek. 10 largely the fortune we
make. New Year will open the clean
page, but our fingers shape the writing.
1t will bring forward old accounts, but
we can strike a new balance and make
a better, total. The resolution, courage
and vigor with which hum-druin tasks
are faced. determines this and every
other season. Genius 10 the faculty Of
clarifying old themes and associations.
The journey through the months of the
old year has ended, and as we have. been
permitted to enter upon the year 1915,
may we resolve to make it the best Of
all years in the history of our institu-
ton. May we as stockholders be linked
in closer fellowship than ever before.
May our efforts be more than ever,
fruitful. in making our hank more pros
porous and helpful, that our achieve
ments may surpass all records Of the
past.
Let US believe that the period of in
dustrial depression and commercial dis
trust are passing. and that the year
upon which we have entered. be one
rich in material blessings, and that the
sun of prosperity will soon penetrate
look forward hopefully.

After q lively debate in the House
of Representatives, in which Congress
man Linthicum of Maryland took an
active part, il was voted to definitely
DIX the salaries of rural carriers under
the law so that every carrier serving
q route of "a miles will be paid $1,000
q year.
In the preceding appropriation bill
passed bv Congress provision was
made for the promotion of 43, 325 rural
carriers 800 each, and the necessary
amount was authorized for the increase.
The Post Office Department SO inter-
preted the law that only a fraction of
them receive more money. This action
aroused much indignation on the part
of members of Congress and the state
ment was freely heard that when the
next Post Office appropriation bill
came up these promotions of rural
carriers would be made mandatory.
Referring TO the work of the mail
carriers, Congressman Linthicum said:
These rural letter carriers have
considerable expense. They are COM
PEELED TO provide their means of trans
portation and to deliyer the mail each
and every day in the year. While in
the summer the work may be light and
pleasant, in the il becomes onerous
and very unpleasant. The roads in
the greater part of the country where
the mail Is delivered by the rural car
riers are not only bad In winter but
often miserable and almost impass-
able.

from a rural carrier in my State, who
SAYS that during the summer one horse
will perform the work on his route,
but that during the winter he Is COM
PEELED 20 have two horses to do the
same service. There are many routes
In the State of Maryland, especially
those Tn the mountainous sections,
where more than one horse is required

stock market was the most exciting
and noteworthy OF any day since July
80 last. On that date, which marked
the issuance of Germany's ultimatum
to Russia, the market was stirred in
to a state of feverish activity at the

were all the other way: only a few
of the unimportant stocks failing to
share in the broad and steady ad
vance. r
On the surface, the market had the
signs Of a general awakening Of pub
lie interest, due to a variety of ia
vorable factors, including the state
ment of the treasury department
which bore out unofficial advices OF
general domestic improvements. An
other powerful influence was the per-
sistent circulation Of peace rumors,
