Communication
Editor of the Banner

Editor of the Banner:
There has been right much talk
through the Baltimore papers recently
about the game law of our State Off
cialS advocating Statewide license to
hunt, giving a nonresident of the
county a license of five dollars to
hunt in any county in the State. do
not blame people living : in other CO.
unties to favor a Statewide license.
Sportsmen in Baltimore could take
out a license in that city and come
here to shoot, and take the game
home without paying us one cent.
Under the present law he has to pay
license here before he can enjoy
cunning in this section.
Some people contend that by hav-
ing a Statewide license and a general
treasurer an equal distribution of the
money could be made from the licen-
Sc and fines, giving us enough sur
plus money to buy game | do not
think that it pays to buy game as
most of it dies.

wardens, one for the upper part of

part of the county, at a salary of

All Should Acquire
The Habit OF Thrift.

Every man, woman and child in America
should save money and acquire the habit of
thrift. Nobody can. make money in the
sense of acquiring a competence for old age
without. saving it; even speculations must
be based on money in hand. The young
man who dreams of making fortune will
do no more than dream until he learns self
restraint and saves sonnet hing. When a
clerk in store or a skilled mechanic in
factory plans to start business for himself
his Chances to get credit or financial backing
depend on his character and demonstrated
ability; frugality and business acumen are
hest shown by what he has done with his
earnings. If he has saved nothing, little
can he expect in the way of help.
Never before was there such an incentive
to the children of America, as well as older
ones, to save money The Government
has provided way for every one to help in
this great war by saving money and lending
it to the Government through the purchase
of War Savings and Thrift Stamps. Aside
from the patriotic features there is no better
investment in the world, as the Govern
medt pays 4 per cent. interest, compound
ed, on your money, and in addition, should
you need the money, .tfle Government viii
pay you ;backson ten days notice, with in
tereSt, every dollar that you have loaned.
You must help in this great struggle. Find
some way to lend money to the Govern
ment at once through the purchase of these
stamps.

SWEDISH PRESS COOL
TOWARD PACT WITH ALLIES

STOCKHOLM March 5.-The terms Of
the agreement between the Swedish
government and the allies which have
been published here failed to evoke
much enthusiasm even from the liberal
press, while the conservatives are open
~ dissatisfied.
The Stockholm Dagblad declares
Sweden pays a high price for an agree
ment which gives her no breadstuffs.
The Svenska Dagbladet is Of similar
opinion The Dagens Nyheter, which
is one of the organs standing closest
to the government, says the Quantities
of articles receivable by Sweden ARE
regrettably small" and that Sweden &p-
pears to have paid a high price for
them. The insurance provided for ships
going into the allied service is held TO
be an inadequate recompense for even
tual losses.
The Stockholm Tidningen, a liberal
organ, says:
In fairness one cannot praise the
modus vivendi in very high tones"
The Social Demokraten anticipates
criticism, but praises the agreement
mildly.

Who owns the Southern building at
18th and II streets, valued at $500, 900?
The Southern Realty Corporation of
Delaware, with a capital stock OF
$1,000, says it is the owner.
Herbert L. Davis auditor of the
Supreme Court of the District of Co
lumbia. in d report to the court made
about ten days ago in the proceedings
for the dissolution of the First Ma
tional Fire Insurance Company. says the

The liquidating trustees of the First

series of exceptions filed today to the
report of the auditor deny the building
is asset of their company and con-

the management of the insurance COM
pany in reference to the sale of the
equity in the building for 100000

as a mask" for the insurance COM

criticism declaring his attempt to de-
eide the question of the ownership of
real estate in u proceeding for dissolu-

File Motion for Exceptions.
Counsel for the Southern Realty Cor
poration, which is not a party to the dis

port of the auditor. They assert he is
without powcf to inquire into or deter
mine the status of that corporation or to

Approved by Commissioner.

They declare that the transfer Of the
equity in the Southern building for more
liquid assets in the shape of bonds of the
realty corporation met with the approval
of the then commissioner of insurance and
was in the interest OF the insurance COM
pany.
Denial is made that any funds Of the
insurance company were diverted for
the formation of the realty company.
and, it is said, the only expense con-
nected Herewith was for legal services.
To the findings of the auditor in para
graph II of his report. that all the vices
inherent in contracts between. corpora
tons having officers and directors in
common exist in this case and that the
transaction resulted in the distribution
of assets to preferential class of
stockholders. the trustees take special
exception. In reply they say there was
no fraud in the building transaction and
no preferential class of stockholders re-
ceiving distribution. The equality
among stakeholder was preserved, say
the exceptants, as all were privileged
to participate in the transaction to the
extent of their full holdings and the
transaction as concluded was by their
own election and with full accord and
agreement among themselves. If there
had been any preference. it is claimed.
the stockholders had a right to create
it by such agreement.
