THE BETHEL RABBIT HUNT.

The Ladies' Aid of Bethel Church, a
most industrious and aggressive So
eiety, held a bazaar and supper at Mr..
Joe Wares on Thursday afternoon
and night on Thanksgiving Day and
netted about forty dollars. The money
is to be used for benevolences and re-
pairs on the church building. These
affairs in Bethel congregation do not
occur ofteh; but when they do, they
serve the double purpose of making a
little money for good uses and also
in cementing friendship Of the mem
bers. The country church must look
after the social relations of its mem
bers, and this Bethel does, and the re-
suit of these efforts amongst US is a
widespread feeling of friendliness and
good-fellowship. MI. and Mrs. Ware
were kind indeed to receive us into
their home.
Someone, the writer does not know
who, suggested a rabbit hunt by the
boys and men of the Sunday School.
This hunt came off according to sched-
ule, on Monday, the 18th. Pop, bang,
went the guns from early morn till the
close Of day, with the result 500 cot
ton tails were bagged.
They had been engaged beforehand
in the Mexico market at S1.00 per
doz., and brought the hunters a heat
little sum of money which is to be
used for the benefit of the church and
Sunday School. Some of these young
ladies were anxious to take part in the
hunt, but on account Of the storm were
disappointed: however, one thing is
certain, they will do their part when
it m to serving the feast which is
to be held at Mr.. r. B. Kerr's on Fri
dey evening, Of the 22nd, and also See
ing to it that no child is disappointed
when 1t comes to the distribution Of
the treat which is to be held at the
church on Monday night, Christmas.
Mr.. Kerr, the wide-awake Superin-
tendent Of the Bethel Sunday School,
has a noble band Of supporters and
fellow-workers. The school is to con-
tinue on through the winter months;

HAVE R SURPLUS
Trust Companies Of U. s. Have Sur,
plus Of Over $500. OOO. 900.

The fourteenth annual edition of
Trust Companies of the United
States" issued by the United States
Mortgage & Trust Company, New
York, is being distributed.
IN the preface, President John w.
Platen, says:
"The Trust Companies of the United
States during the year just closed have
had exceptional opportunities for SER
vice to the financial and commercial
interests of this country and to for
eign nations as well. The problems
incident to the new position of the
Trust Companies in world affairs have
been met and solved with courage.
while the business openings re-
sulting therefrom have been
availed Of with enter
prises and good judgment. A note
worthy increase in the business of ac-
ceptance, both foreign and domestic,
the establishment of well equipped de-
partments for the handling of for
eign transactions, especially with Gen.
trail and South America, and liberal
participations in foreign loans, are all
deserving of special mention. The
work of unifying and improving x
listing laws for the safeguarding Of
the interests Of these companies and
their clients is progressing satisfac-
torily, while the administration of
corporate and private trusts in ever
increasing volume Is continually evil
denced.
when it is considered hat the ag-
gregate Of trust company resources
reported during the year increased
one billion, six hundred million dollars,
the vital and growing importance Of
the part played by Trust Companies
in national and international affairs
viii be fully realized and these insti-
tutions continue TO receive a deserved
ly increasing measure of recognition
and support"
The statements of 1887 Trust Com
panies are contained in the book, In
addition to lists Of officers and diree-
tors, stock quotations, dividend rates,
etc, while the names Of 95 companies
are shown that did not render a report
for publication thus making a total
OF 2,032 Trust Companies listed.
The total resources of the Trust
Companies of Missouri amount to
si72,OO0,O 900, a gain of / 1893, 900, or
ID per cent during the past year.
The total resources Of the North
Missouri Trust Company on Novem-
Der 10, 1915, were s40O, 1870, while
on November II, 1916, they were
S~5l5,652.77, showing an increase of
over % per cent. This is certainly a
fine showing for our Home Company.
