IRISH FOES JOINED BY WAR

Dablin,-A band Of the Irish guards
which even few months ago would
have received an unfriendly greeting

a recruiting tour and was enthusias-

Mansion house, playing "st. Patrick's

There was another remarkable
scene here when John e. Redmond,
the Irish nationalist leader, reviewed
$4,000 of the Irish national volunteers
and in a speech said that of the ma

The vast majority of the men who

tions. There are men who come from

They are men who have Joined the

famous battalion behind the line, and
training all ranks as officers. AS they

In 1914 the territorial legislature at
Corydon chartered two banks. one at

fore the former had been organized
it became the First State Bank, with
fifteen branches. Four Of these
branches had been opened by 1921,
when the bank failed. The one at

the Second Bank of the United States
forced It to quit business. From that
time till 1894. there were no chartered
banks In the state. As soon as It was
ascertained that jackson had vetoed
the bill to recharter the Second Bank
of the United States, there began an
agitation for a State Bank with
branches. This was chartered In 1884
and went into operation the same
year. 1t had branches at Indianapolis.

growers have suffered, because their

than the appearance Of the vineyards

lack of care and unfavorable weather,
the vineyards are in a deplorable con-
