Polls.


THE Grand Army Man at Polls last
night was as like as the traditional
pea to the Grand Army men on the
street. The flags. badges and buttons
out on the Avenue were reflected be-
hind the : footliglts and the Grand
Army hall in the Indiana town of
Boggsvile was as real in its way as
the Grand Army hall next door.
Aside from the patriotic timeliness of
the production was the dramatic inter-
cts of seeing for the first time in stock
the David Wartield play, which Mr.. Be
lasco permitted the Poll management
to present this week in compliment to
the comrades of the Grand Army-a ia
vor which carries also a very gracious
tribute to the excellence of the players
who form the Polls cast. AS Wes'
Bigelow, post commander of the local
G. A. r.. Mark Kent's portrayal was
very genuine in its interplay of a hui
NOR and pathos which must have had
it's appeal for the comrades in the
audience. measured by their laughter
and, at times, Il silence as poignant as
tears.
The story of home life in the little
town has for it's sensation the stealing
lne IuHO OF the ITallG
Army hall which is in care of Bigelow.
The thief. played by Russell Fillmore,
is the son of u dead veteran whom the
old man has adopted and loves as his
own. The youngster is as devoted in
turn, and his confession and readiness
to take his punishment provide the
big scene between Mr.. Kent and Mr..
Fillmore which reaches up to the eli
max of the play.
Blanche Friderici was wholesomely
sweet and comforting as the sister and
housekeeper of the Grand Army man,
and Florence Rigtenhouse made a girl

CLEARING HOUSE
HAS A NEW PLAN
VIII Create Department for Col
lecting Out-Of-TOWn
Checks.

There will be a special meeting Of
the Clearing House Association on
Wednesday TO vote on resolution,
presented by the committee on inland
exchange. to establish a new depart
ment i'm the Clearing House for the col
lection of checks drawn on banks with
ir "a DAYS mailing distance OF New
York. The committee is made up OF
Walter Z. Frew, president OF the Corn
Exchange Bank; Edward Townsend,
president of the Importers and Trad
ers' National Bank, and Charles II. Sa-
Lin. president of the Guaranty Trust
Company. They have been at work
since November IA or last year study
ing plans for collection of checks, so
that the work of the Federal Reserve
Bank IN collecting checks for the mem
bcrs of its voluntary association mlght
be supplemented for the benefit OF
hanks and trust companies, me.nbers
Of the Clearing House, but not OF the
heserve banks association.
When the Federal Reserve Bank last
fall announced that II would receive at
Tar for immediate credit drafts and
checks from its member banks which
had Joined its collection system drawn
on any of a large number of cities up
state, the Clearing House set 10 work
10 devise a way Of protecting its mem
bers who were not in the Reserve
banks voluntary system from the new
competition. The report Of the COM
mittee on inland exchange is the re-
suit.

Corn averaged higher, Influenced
chiefly by the strength of wheat. The
market was also bulhshly Affected by
the opinion of a leading expert that
the prospect for a reasonably fuI
