State Department Will Ask Sue.
cessor FOR Admiral Concas.

The death in Madrid Tuesday of Vice
Admiral Concas Palau, umpire in the
disputes between the United States and
Panama as to land seized or inundated
by the Panama canal, probably will
cause delay in the settlement of the
claims, it is said, here today.
State Department officials indicate
that negotiations soon will be entered
into with the Panama minister for a
successor. who does not necessarily
have to be appointed by the King of
Spain, as in the previous case.
Admiral Concas will be remembered
by many as the naval officer who sailed
to this country on the identical repro
duction of the Maria Therese, one of
Columbus three vessels. which was ex-
hibited at the Columbian worlds fair
He also took part in the battle of Santi-
ago as commander of the cruiser Maria

British Trade Adviser Within Rights
in Conferring With Exporters.

There will be no diplomatic incident
over the recent conferences at New
York between Sir Richard Crawford,
trade adviser of the British embassy,
and a group of leading American ex-
porters. State Department officials let it
be known that Sir Richard had not
violated diplomatic propriety.
At the embassy surprise was ex-
pressed that any question had been
raised in connection with the confer
ences officers of the embassy pointed
out that Sir Richard went to New York
in q purely informal and unofficial
way simply to lay statement of facts
before a few large exporters. 1t was
explained that the trade adviser was in
no sense a negotiator. nor did he have
any proposals to make. There was no
thought of going over the head of the
State Department in the matter. Sec
retary Lansing was fully informed as
to the plan.

Lesson in Teamwork.

will see how their joint efforts in col.

individuals, bring in amounts worth
only a few cents.
They will learn that their individual
efforts could produce little or nothing
of benefit, to them. Yet, when they
unite in their work, they will he able

NORTH DAKOTA IN
GRIP OF BLIZZARD

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 27.-Central
North Dakota is in the grip of one of
the worst blizzards in the history of
the state. Whipped to great intensity
by a driving thirty six-mile-an-hour
gale, the snow clouds are sweeping
eastward over this section, with a
zero wave in their wake, tying up rail-
road traffic and seriously hampering
wire communication.
Warnings to live stock shippers and
rural carriers were issued.
The fall of snow in the past twen-
ty-four hours was eleven inches, max
ing a total depth seventeen inches.
This is a total precipitation of 27.1
inches for the month, which is a De-
cember record. The velocity of the
wind increased twenty-one miles in
four hours -
The snow fall in the great blizzard
OF twenty years ago. which lasted
from Nov. "a to the 9th of the month,
is surpassed by six-tenths inch by the
fall of the past twenty-six hours.

AMERICANS PooR SAVERS.

One hundred years ago the first
savings bank in the United States was
established. The advent of this insti-
tuition came with the era Of CONNER
cial and industrial expansion. 1t was
when the population of the United
States was only 100000 and there
were but 246 banks in the country. By
1920 ten of these savings banks had
been established with $685. depositors
and aggregate deposits of S1,1SS,576.
Prosperity came, the people saved
and the deposits in these great reser-
voirs of capital. which now number
2,100, by leaps and bounds increased
to enormous proportions. Today with
our national wealth approximating
1857. 000, O00,0 e0 and almost one hum
dred millions of people in the country,
we have about $4,700,00O,00O in the
saving banks belonging to ten and a
half million depositors. This may
seem an amazing sum of capital and
number of depositors, but when a
comparison is made with other coun-
tries and balance is struck it Is
found the United States is near the
end of the list in the percentage of
savers to population.

The Donnellson Review last week
devoted its first page to an article
about the water power assessment
issue. This is not new subject and
has been the topic of conversation be-
tween the supervisors and officials OF
the water power company at recent
conferences. Our information Is that
progress is being made toward the
goal OF reasonable assessment and the
matter will in all probability be mu-
tually arranged between the supervis-
ors and the company in short time.
1t is a question that should be dealt
with fairly and not on the grounds of
any personal feeling. 1t is an issue in
which the city of Keokuk is mostly
concerned but the county as we'll. All
questions of this character should be
adjusted without any attempt to array
one section or class against another.
