welcomes small depositors and considers it matter of
good business policy to give equal attention to small and

So far as the bank is concerned, it is Just satisfactory
to have several small accounts aggregatng the same as

oRpER oF ST. FATRIoK.

 The first companions of the Most TlIustrious Order of St. Patrick were Prince Edward, afterwards Duke of Kent, the father of Queen Victoria. the Duke of Leinster, and thirteen Irish earIs. This knightIy order was instituted 133 years ago today, when King George III. signed the statutes. Its formation was prompted by the appearance of national Irish policy and the desire to conciliate the prin- cipaI peers of the Emerald Isle. The cross of St. Patrick and a golden harp the ancient Irish ensign, together with the national badge. the sham rock, were made the principal sym bo1s of the new order of knighthood. King George V. is now the sovereign of the order, and the office of grand master is vested in the lord-1ieuten- ant of Ireland. Among the knights of the order are the Prince Of Wales and the Duke of Connaught. The principal Irish earls wear. the sky blue ribbon of the, order, which has for it's motto "Q1is separabit?' 1Who shall separately Strangely enough the feast day of the saint after whom the order was named was not chosen for it's institution, and the day is not observed by the knights. The Order of St. Patrick is a sort of Hibernian Order of the Garter.

SIR JOHN SIMON.

Sir John simon, who retired last month from the post of Secretary of State for Home Affairs in the British cabinet, is forty-three years old to- day, as he was born Feb. 28s 1873, the son of a Congregational minister. He has had a brilliant ministerial career which was broken off, in spite of the pleading of Premier Asquith, because his conscience would not permit him to lend support to the Prime Minis ter's plan of compulsory service, Sir John is inc second Simon of that name to become prominent in British politics. but he is in no way related q to the first Sir John Simon, wa Q was Hebrew He was called to the bar in 1899, after graduating from Qx+ ford, and his rise in that profession was neteoric. He made a fortune as a barrister, and became the own CT of the historic FTitwelI Manor in Oxfordshire, which was granted to one of his bishops by William the Hastings. Sir John entered Parlia
 ment ten years ago, and soon won the recognition of the party leaders. His first ministerial post was as so- Heitor- -general.s In 1918, when Sir Rufus Isaacs was made lord chief justice, Sir John succeeded him as attorney-g general. When the coali- ton government was formed last May Sir John was offered the post Of lord high chancellor. but refused 1t, and was appointed head of the home Of fee. He is 8 pacif1st by tempera- n1ent, and when the war began his 1 colleagues had to use all their per- s1asEve powers to induce him to re- | main in the cabinet In fact, he was bent on retiring until Germany 1 violated Belgian neutrality, when he consented to remain.

pr. Grenfell, 51 Today,
 Serving Near the Front

Dr. Wi1fred Thomson GrenfeI1. who has attained international fame by his work as medical missionary on the barren Labrador coast, will pass his fifty-first milestone today, having been born on Feb-J 28, 1865, at Mostyn House School, near Ches- ter, Eng. This brilliant apostle of the twentieth century religion of service returned to his native land, last De- cember to place his medical knowl- edge at the disposal of the wounded soldiers, and was made a major in the Twenty-second British expedi- tional hospital near the front in France. pr. GrenfeIl was urged to accompany the Ford peace expedi- tion, but refused, believing that in the present crisis actions speak louder than words. In deciding to spend his
 nissi onary furlough at the front, the "Pastorf of Labrador has given an- other illustration of his devotion to that religion which has as it's luni- nous creed, ttLove thy neighbor.'
 pr. tGrenfeH was educated at the University of London and Oxford, and at London hospital He began his career as a medical missionary in England nearly thirty years ago. A few years later he fitted out the first hospital ship for the North Sea fish ermen, anad cruised from the Bay of Biscay to Iceland, establishing homes TOT the AlSn0TI1l6n OH 1CnO clllO dI- ranging mission vessels for them at sea. He came to Labrador in 1892, and among, the scattered populations of that desolate coast he has toiled increasingly, building hospitals, schools and churches, and establish ing cooperative stores and various in dustrial projects. The Seamen's 1n- stitute in St Johns. Newfoundland, devoted to improving the physical and spiritual condition of the sailors of Newfoundland and Labrador, is another of his benefactions for which the sturdy seafaring men of the North Atlantic will never cease to bless him.
 pr. Grenfell has been the recipient of many high honors from monarchs, governments and colleges, but in his case t'Drs z is a title beyond all others that have been conferred upon him. He is an active, athletic man, a thor ough sailor with a master mariners certificate, and was a star Rugby player in his college days. He mar ried an American woman, Miss Anna MacClanhan of Lake Forest, Ill, a, graduate of Bryn Mawrs about seven years ago.

WEST INDIANS WANT
 TO BE ANNEXED
Roston Heraldl

(BOSCOn dSralQ)
 In a letter to the editor of the New York Times, Edwin B.. Slosson, who will be recognized as a staff corre- spondent of the New York Indepen- dent, whose special studies in educa- tional and other fields entitle his lat est testimony to fullest confidence, tells of conditions in the Danish West Indies on his. visit there last sum rner, which are particularly pertinent just now in view of the suggested transfer of sovereignty to the United States.
 E The Danish Governor, MT. Hedweg- Larsen. had gone back to Copenha sgeneto answer charges of rnaladIninis- tration. The poverty -stricken negroes of St. Croix,. the largest of the three islands, had secretly collected $280 to pay the passage of one of their own number to Denmark to make com plaints to the government. He had there reported that the Governor treated the natives like dogs, not al- lowing them to issue a newspaper or ta hold public meetings. MT. SIosson adds that they live in abject poverty and are leaving for Porto Rico and the United States as fast as they can find the means to do so.
 He also declares that the people iof the Danish West Indies all speak English, i'm spite of the efforts of the government to make them speak Danish. and that they would vote for annexation to this country by an overwhelming majority, as they did when the question was put to them in 1888, if given the chance. Opposition to our annexing them would come from only two classes, Danish offi- .ciaIs and German shipping interests. as the Hamburg erican Line had planned. before the war, to make St. Thomas the Singapore cf the Wes- +oy1, E5epoiSphe ore s

THE IMMORTAL
 HERR SOBERT

While it is popuIarly supposed that there are few limitations to the power of Emperor William, and that in any contest between His Imperial Majesty and one of his subjects the latter would come off second best, there have been exceptions to the rule. One of the most notable instances in which the kaiser was iworsted in a contro- versy with a subject was in his law suit against Herr Sobert.
 Three years ago today, on Feb. 28, 1913, there was a widespread of quiet celebration in West Prussia. Although the newspapers, fearing a charge of Iese majestic, gave but a few guarded lines to the matter, it was the sensa- ton of the whole country. The farm CTS and peasants of the western part of the Katser's kingdom were jubi- Iant, for their monarch had for third time been worsted in a law suit against one of his humble subjects, Herr Sobert.
 Herr Sobert, who gained immortal ity by this celebrated case, was 8 ten ant farmer on an estate belonging to the Kaiser in West Prussia. The Elm peror had demanded that the tenant share in the cost of the construction of a house. Herr Sobert refused. Elm peror William then brought suit and attempted to evict4 Herr Sobert, on the ground that he was worthless and in 
 case, and gained the verdict in the lower court. The Kaiser appealed, but again Herr Sobert was victorious. A third hearing of the case had the same result.
 When the third decision was hand ed down, on the last day of February, 1913, the feeling of sympathy for Heer Sobert had become widespread. So- bert's p1ucky defiance of the Emperor made him a. hero to the farmers and peasants of West Prussia Volunteers by the hundreds offered to assist him in maintaining the legal battle The feeling had grown up that the Kaiser had used his great power to persecute one of his humble subjects.
 The Crown Prince was then in West Prussia. and the runbling of the storm reached his ears. He perceived that the loyalty of West Prussia to the Hohenzo11erns was seriously endan- gered. It is said that the Kaiser's son strongly advised his father to drop the matter and to reimburse Herr Sobert.
 Whatever the cause of the Kaiser's change of heart toward Herr Sobert, he acted magnaninnous1y. By the de- cision of the court at the last trial Herr Sobert was to be permitted to occupy the farm for five years longer. The Kaiser gave him a handsome in- demnity for leaving, apologized hand some1y for having referred to Herr Sobert as worthless and incompet- ent," and conferred upon his late enemy the Prussian Order of the Grown, fourth class.

LADYsMITH DAY

Until events of vaster moment ob- scured the memory of the South Afri- can war, the last day Of February was observed in Great Britain and Canada as .Ladysrnith Day. connmemorafing the relief of Ladysnith sixteen years age to-day. The siege of Ladysnaith lasted 118 days, a period Of horror for the IT, 900 men under Sir George White who were penned up in the South African town. For months the devoted garrison lived on a. diet of horsefIesh and cornstarch, and when at last the British relief force raised the siege the survivors were reduced to the condition of walking skeletons. Great as were the horrors of Lady smith. however. it is likely that the besieged force at Kut-el-Amara in Mesopotamia will have more terrible tales to tell.
