SCHOOL ORDERS DO NOT BEAR

A case of great interest was decided
by the supreme court of the state on

scented for payment when the sheriff
has the money and does not pay, and
then the sheriff must pay the interest.

COOPERATIVE BANK ADvER-
.TISING.

Addressing the North Dakota Bank
ers' Association recently at Bismarck,
N. D., Edwin Bird Wilson, manager
OF the advertising department of the
Bankers Trust Company of New York,
advanced the proposition that, in view
of the similarity of services, banks
would do well to unite by communi-
ties for advertising. Mr.. Wilson am
plitied his views in part as follows:
Bankers, if they would be i'm har-
mony with the best thoughts of the
present day, with the thought which
makes for solidarity within the nation
and between nations, nuts consider
their duty toward the community,
while considering their own business
interests. 1t issthe duty of bankers
and particularly of trust company
bankers, to point out to the people of
the dangers of individual trusteeship.
and the advantages offered by the in
corporated trustee.
Bankers should protect the public
by publicity of the right sort against
the insidious appeal Of INSCRIPTIONS
promoters of brass-edged securities;
should try to divert into legitimate
channels of trade the millions of dol
lars which annually go into the treas
ure chests of the finance pirates, who
prey on widows and orphans, and
sometimes on those who. ought to
know better than be caught by offers
OF seventy per cent dividends. Bank
ers owe to to their towns and cities,
owe it to the legitimate business of
this country, owe it to the commerce
of the world to encourage the people
to invest their money in legitimate
enterprises and to keep it away from
the fraudulent schemer.

w. r. GRAHAM EXPIRES AFTER
LONG ILLNESS.

"The independents" newspaper
published ut Hamilton, Loudon coun-
ty, had the following in recent issue:
1t is with profound regret that we
chronicle the death of MIR. William
Il. Graham, which occurred at his
home about u mile east of this town,
at l O'Clock January 2Sth. He had
been in declining health for some
time, and having consulted well known
specialist without finding relief, he,
ut the advice of his family physic
ian, DR.. Claggett, went to Garfield
Hospital i'll Washington, ID. c., where
an operation was performed on him
on the oath Of last April for cancer
of the stomach. The disease had made
such ravages that the surgeons could
afford only temporary betterment
of his condition.
MIR. Graham was II native of -TaZc-
we'll county, and was in the Goth wear
o. his age. On coming to Loudon
some 10 OF IL years ago he purchased
the home farm of the late Charles
c. MERCER, Zone Of the best in this
sectionO upon which he had since re-
sided. Later he purchased the Puscy
farm near Waterford, and was extcn
sively engaged in stock raising and
agricultural pursuits. He was man
of fine Judgment, great energy and
will power and possessed IL wcll-cul-
tivated mind that had been stored
with n fund of practical information.
He was for n number of years n
member of the Presbyterian church
AMI also member of the Hamilton
Lodge A. +. & A. NJ.
Before leaving Tazcwcll, Mr.. Gra-
ham was, for term or more, deputy
clerk of the county court.
He is survived by his wife and
eight children-Charles, Samuel and
Wade and Misses Mary, Annie, Ollie,
Ossic, and Margaret Lee Graham.
His funeral took place from his
late home, late home, Rev. j. NJ. Holt
day, assisted by Rev. Mr.. Eutsler, Of

The burial was in the family lot in

Very few people outside the east

NO REASON FORTHCOMING.
(Robert B. Patton, in "The Ma
tional Daily.)

For ten years the publisher of the
Clinch Valley News, Tazcwcll, Va,
has made standing offer through
the columns of his paper to pay lib
eral cash reward for one good rea-
son for the existence of the saloon.
After decade the News man still
has his money. The silence of the
vets is positively oppressive. The
reason why there is no good reason
for the existence of the saloon has
been given is, there is NO good rea-
son to be given-absolutely none.
All the "Antominies" of Emanuel
Kant are utterly incompetent to ena-
Bile the saloon sponsors to conjure up
ONE sufficient reason for the malo-
dorous booze joint.
Their silence in reference to the
News offer is n confession that the
saloon is indefensible. Neither the
wet speakers nor organs ever attempt
to defend the saloon per Sc. To do so
would be akin to rolling up the "Sev-
ell trenches of Cologne" or. opening
up the bottomless pit.
There are countless valid reasons

robs womanhood of love, honor, and
protection. 1t is drunkard factory.

panies has not yet been done, that
the separate competitive efforts at
advertising by banks and trust COM
panies is superficial and not funda-

is needed in bank and trust company
advertising more than anything else
is cooperation by suitable groups of
banking institutions in a campaign of
publicity, designed thoroughly TO in
form all classes and conditions of
people of the usefulness of banking
institutions, and of the duty which
the people owe to the business world
of bringing their surplus moneys into

SPRAYING FRUIT TREES.
(By James L. Montague, County
Farm DGmonStrator)

The pruning season is with us, and
the next orchard work to be done is
that of spraying.
Sprays, when properly applied, kill
insects and destroy fungous diseases.
The most common insects we have to
combat are San Jose Scale and the
codling moth or apple worm. The
sprays generally used for San Jose
Scale are scalecide ind lime sulfur,
which are applied during the dorm
ant season.
In addition to killing scale lmesul-
fur also prevents several fungus dis
eases and cleanses the bark of the
trees. Sprays for scale are applied
just before the buds swell. The man.
ufactured lime sulfur is now used
almost universally. 1t is standard
lied, and can always be depended up
on, whereas the homemade spray is
often a failure, and so dishcartens a

WHY DO THEY QUIT!

E. H. LYMAN has resigned as secre,
tary of the Americas Chamber of Com
merce. Why is it that the commercial
secretaries seem to be through with a
town in about a year? Development
work of the sort a chamber of com.
merce undertakes is certainly very vi
tai to any town and a good secretary
ought to be doing better work the sec
ond year than he did the first, if he is
Oh his job. The first year is, properly
speaking, the sowing of the seed in
this sort Of work; the second year the
reaping ought to begin. If the work
is not followed up the town loses its
Investments in the work to some ex-
tent, and one would think the man at
the head of it loses the moral force
which comes of carrying to completion
any program he undertakes Quitman
Free Press.
1t does seem that the life of the ay-
eyage commercial secretary in a city is
very short. One reason is that the pc,
sition is public, and as in everything
open to criticisms from the whims OF
people-concerned and unconcerned
Sometimes, and we may say. usually,
the strongest antagonism comes from
people whe do not help, and contribute
very meagerly to the funds for carry
ing on the work of chamber of COM
merce.
In this day of business strides it is
hard to keep a good man. Other cities
want their labor and work-and they
are willing to pay the price.
