First National Bank Leads All
Others With A Total
of $4,O0O,000.
LARGEST BUSINESS
EVER DONE IN CAPE
General Prosperity Brings Unus'
uaI Increase In Banking
Business.

The general prosperity and vast III
crease ot business during the yeal
1917, just closed, is evidenced by the
large clearings of the five local banks
the total of which is s12 ,535, 1920 70,
the year. Each of the five banks show
a big increase of business, the Firs.
National leading all banking institG-
tions Of the city, with a grand total OF
S4,7024e4.54 for the twelve months.
Due to the fact that the clearings
association Of the city was not estab-
lished till October 1916, 10 comparison
can be made between the totals Of
that year and the one just completed,
but the banks Individually show large
increase OF business over the year 1916
The First National Bank held the
record mainly due to the governments
protection offered all national banks
of the country. Many Of the small
banks OF the county and other coun-
ties in this section of the state are
dealing with outside banks through the
First National Bank. The fact that
the Frisco railroad and the shoe COM
panv tranacts all banking business
through the First National also ac-
counts for the lead this house has talk
on over the other banks.
The Sturdivant Bank, the oldest IN
Southeast Missouri, is second. The
total business transacted by this bank
amounted to s3,341.713.9S during 1917,
The Southeast Missouri Trust Co.,
ranks third, with a total Of $2,97S,-
5623f. The Farmers and Merchants
Bank with a total of $1,13S, ,11".3o
comes fourth and the Cape Exchange
Bank with S3374,32SO9 ranked fifth.
The latter is the youngest bank OF
the city, having been established III
March 1916 Despite this fact the
bank has comparatively grown more
rapidly tEan any other bank Of the city
having established a record for the
time Of its short existence.
Following is the record Of the five

Attorneys Too Kusy Filling
Out Question Blanks,
Is Reason,
JANUARY DOCKET is
EXCEPTIONALLY LIGHT
Few Criminal Cases Scheduled.
Names OF Petit Jurors
Made Known.

The January term of circuit court
scheduled to begin next Monday morn
ing at Jackson will be continued for
several weeks if the request of the at
to!ncys is granted by Circuit Judge
Frank Kelly. A representative Of tn"
County Bar Association appealed t.
Judge Kelly yesterday n an infor:Aal
way and intimated that on the first
day of the term a continuance of the
term would be asked.
Owing to the many duties dcvolving
upon the attorneys of the entire coun-
ty IN filling out the questionnaircs for
the drafted men, many will not find
time to argue their cases until the
Questionnaires have been filled out and
all have been returned to the local
board at Jackson.
The docket is unusually light for
this term, Judge Kelly said yesterday,
and in view of the fact, he wfll most
likely grant the continuance Of the
term for at least several weeks. Be
cause Of the inclemcnt weather during
the middle of December, the term Of
the Scott County circuit court was put
off for several weeks, and most likely
the docket of this court will be COM
pleted before the circuit court in Jack
son cOnvencs.
The murder trial Of J. Il. Parmcntcr,
who is charged with killing Patrolman
Demortiers. is the most important case
on the docket. It is believed the trial
will last at least week, if called fer
this term. 1t was intimatcd by seVolal
attorneys that the case would mC5t
likc'y be continued for this term. Eight
c.ses of selling l.quor without ;icen
a"a.nss Ollie Snidcr, two cases on the
same charge against TcE and LooncE
Pluitt. the b:gamy charge against
James T. Reynolds. and the grand
larceny charge against William Wal
cher complete the criminal docket Of
the January term.
The following residents of the coun-
ty have been summoned for jury SER
victs and will pass on the cases set
down for trial during the coming term:

ganization; to National Director Will liam J. MuMigan, who, although he has broadened his field of activity, still finds time to assist by -adxiee and counsel those who have the 1responsi- bility for the conduct of the affairs of the state organization; to State Lec- turer Rev. w. A. Keefe, whose educa- tional work for the order at large in Connecticut reflects great credit upon the fourth degree section, under whose auspices his valued services were en- listed. With all the various agencies that are charged with the management of Knights of Columbus affairs in the state working in harmony, there Is nothing that I can foresee that can retard the growth or minimize the prosperity which the order in connec- ticut should enjoy during the year 1917.
 Urges Support of Wilson,
 And now for final word by way of suggestion: Following the adjournment of this meeting we will all ret1rn to our respective. homes and again take up our ordinary duties. Before we again assemble in convention it is more than probable that an important page in the history of the nation will have been written. Each delegate present today is. or should be, leader ins his community. Let it not be said when been written that any fourth degfee knight has shirked his responsibility at this crucial period in the life of the nation. Patriotism being the cardinal principle of this section of the order, 1t is the solemn duty of every fourth degree knight. and in particular every faithful navigator, by virtue of his official position, to take a prominent part in every movement to preserve unsuli Hd the honor of his country, and to stand firmly behind our constitu- tional commander ih-chief, Woodrow Wilson, as the American people more than half century ago stood behind Abraham Lincoln. Let us be foremost in promoting a greater love and. re- spect for the flag of our country and keep that beautiful and beloved em- blem of a. united republic constantly before our eyes and close < to our American hearts, thereby . showing that in the presence of common duty and national peril there is but one all legiance, one loyalty, for all true knights.

 The last district assembly was held March 26, 1916, in the city of New Haven, and while the year that has intervened has not been marked by any unusual activities in this district, yet the trend has ever been onward and gradual but none the less mo- ticeabIe development has taken place in fourth degree affairs throughout the district, with the result that the high aims and purposes of this section of the order are becoming better known and more highly respected by the peo- pie of the commonwealth.

 bly with Torrington as headquarters. When this is accomplished there will be a very complete organization in the district.
 A Washington's Birthday Celebration. One of the reasons for calling this assembly at this time was to consider the Washington's birthday celebration, movement inaugurated by the joint efforts of the supreme assembly, fourth degree and the supreme council com mission on religious prejudices. This movement is to take the form of a great patriotic celebration under the auspices of the fourth degree section, to be held in 31 cities of the country, on Washfngton's birthday, Feb. 22, 1917. It is especially opportune that these meetings are to be held at this time, when we are confronted by than any that this generation of Americans has ever met crisis that is quickening the pulse of patriotism in the veins of every loyal American. among those selected for these meet ings, namely, Boston. Providence and New Haven. Speakers of national prominence have been assigned to each of the 31 cities, all fourth degree mem bers of the Knights of Columbus. The speaker assigned to New Haven is Judge Timothy T. Ausberry of De- fiance, Ohio.. The arrangements for the New Haven meeting are in charge or John Barry assembly. This is but one of the many phases of organization work which the fourth degree section of the order is promoting, and is in line with other activities that have been inangurated by that able and progressive leader, Supreme Master John H. Reddin, and which have brought this section of the order into national prominence through its con- strictive work for the nation, the state and the community.
 ,, Patriotism the Guiding Principle.
 As patriotism is the guiding prin- ciple of the fourth degree section, would particularly recommend that assemblies be encouraged to observe national holidays, like Washington's birthday, Lincoln's birthday and the Fourth of July, not forgetting the. day set aside in a majority of the states of the union in honor of the patron of our order and known as Columbus day. It would be a most commend able movement On the part of the fourth degree section to see to 1t that in every community where there is an assembly that Columbus day should would do honor to the memory of the discoverer. of America
 Credit Given for Loyal Support.
 Before closing this report desire to extend thanks to the fourth degree membership of the district for the splendid support they have given me in all my undertakings for the up- building of this section of the order. further desire to express my deepest feeling of gratitude to State Deputy William J.
