BANK IS ACCUSED
OF Ignoring ORDER
Ohio Institution Faces Suit in Stock
Transaction.

An Illustration of the efficacy of
governmental supervision of national
banks is promised when the suit
aaginst the Clinton Couty National
Bank is brought before the court of
Cincinnati, Ohio.
Local interest in this case is oc-
casioned by the participation OF the
Comptroller of the Currency of the
United States Treasury and one of
his deputies in a hearing in the
Treasury Department few weeks
ago.
Records and depositions submitted
to the commission of the Ohio court
since the hearing indicate that the
bank about twenty-five years ago be-
came interested in a manufacturing
company. Subsequently the company
grew prosperous and doubled It's
capital out of its profits and paid as
high as 50 per cent dividends on its
increased capital stock.
About fifteen years ago the Comp
troller of the Currency ordered the
bank to dispose of the stock in the
manufacturing company, as 1t was
deemed unlawful for a national bank
to hold speculative investments. The
bank asked to be allowed to retain
the stock but the cOmpIroller oTuei-
ed it sold. Apparently the stock was
sold as the next report of the bank
did not show the stock among its
assets.
Sixty-seven subsequent reports show
ed the bank wholly divested of the
stock. This condition continued until
the president of the bank became
involved in litigation with his sister
over the division Of their mothers
estate. This struggle disclosed the
fact that the bank was still the
owner of the stock and had drawn all
the dividends thereon since ordered
to dispose of 1t by the comptroller.
When these facts became known the
comptroller ordered a special ex-
animation of the bank but the books
of the bank contained no trace of the
ownership of the stock,

Removing the Feathers.
The heavy wing and tail feathers
should be removed first. Then
the leg, fluff, breast wing and neck
feathers should be picked in the
order named. The bird may then

picked. Care should be taken not
TO tear the shin.
The quickest way TO remove the
pin feathers is with a dull pairing
knife, grasping the feathers between
the thumb and knife blade. Scrap
ing with knife will discolor the skin
of the carcass.
After picking. the birds should
be placed in tubs of cold water to
cool. A few hours cooling is suf-
ficient. as soaking too long is likely
to tougher the flesh When re-
moved the birds feet should be
scrubbed and all blood removed
from their mouths After that
they should be hung heads down

thoroughly dry before being pack

PLACE ORDERS FOR
F GOD CONTAINERS
Growers and Shippers Should
Cooperate to Avoid
Fall Rush.

In order 10 avoid serious delay
and probable food loss during the
approaching harvest season. grow
ers and shippers are urged by the
United States department Of agri-
culture to estimate accurately their
needs and place their orders for
barrels. crates. hampers. baskets
and other containers for food pro-
ducts at once. They should notify
manufacturers to begin making de-
liveries Immediately, or at least as
soon as their crops are reasonably
assured. Larger supplies of contain
ers will be needed this season then
usual Since crops of most perish
able products must be moved as
soon as ready 10 harvest, serious fl
nancial loss to growers and ship
pers and failure 10 save needed
crops may result unless orders for
packages are placed promptly and
shipments begun within he next
few weeks.
The department Of agriculture is
in receipt Of advice from widely
separated parts Of the United States
that there may be a package short
age this season unless growers and
shippers are able to anticipate their
needs. II will be difficult for man
ufacturers TO meet the emergency
should abnormal demand for addi-
tional packages for perishable crops
arise in the midst of the harvest
season. At that time, il is pointed
out, traffic on railroads will be
heaviest and shipments may be
much delayed when most needed.
The responsibility of manufacturers
to put forth every reasonable effort
10 help meet the situation should
not be overlooked.
Few persons, specialists Of the
department say, realize the enor-
nous quantities OF barrels. baskets.
crates and similar containers that
are used each year. Containers for
fruit and vegetables are very bulky.
IL is quite apparent il would be
nearly impossible for factories TO
accumulate in advance and store a
supply sufficient for the total needs
OF the fruit and vegetable crop of
the country. The only safe plan is
for each grower and shipper 10 or
der his supplies now. The depart
ment points out that such prompt
action will tend TO speed up the
manufacture and delivery OF pack
ages and may save thousands of
dollars worth OF crops.
