! Big developments in local banking
circles are rumored today as the result
of the sale of 5000 shares of Com
mercial Bank stock, presumably to
out-of-town interests, and the rcsigna.
ton of eight directors of that institu.
tion yesterday.
That this sale Is the forerunner OF
the merger of several local banking
houses into one gigantic Institution,
is strongly rumored in hancial cir
Giles today, although the officials Of
several Of the banks connected with
the rumoF said there was no founda-
tor. for the rumor as far as their
banks were concerned.
Major Guy T. Scott, president Of
the Continental Trust Company, is
known to be interested in yesterdays
transaction, but declared the block
was purchased by him personally, and
not for his bank
The Metropolitan Trust Company,
of Boston, is the prime mover in the
deal which was closed yesterday. w.
b. Htbbs & Co. were the local brokers
for the purchasers. One rumor had It
that New York shipping interests
were the principal purchasers.
The purchasers stipulated that
Rolfe e. Boiling. president, James E.
CRhill, vice president, and William E.
Cadwallader, cashier, of the present
ofncials OF the bank, should remain
in those capacities. OF the twenty
two directorships. they were to be
given eight.
In order to provide these places
the following directors resigned at
the conc'' sion Of the deal: Frank E.
Harmon, Harry l. Kaufman, Arthur
Lee. Frank p. Harmon, jr., James D.
Tate Gustave. Scholle, J. Doniphan
Owen and Wade H. Ellis. Mr.. Har-
mon was chairman OF the board of d.
rectorS and the largest individual
stockholder' of the bank.
Commercial National Bank stock
rose from S1S5 asked to 5000 at yes
terday's session OF the stock exchange,
giving rise to the belief that it was
this price that was paid for the
stock.

Uncle Sans War Saving and
Thrift Stamps are better than any
stock in the world" wrote boy In the
eighth grade OF certain school in a
big New England city. while the stock
ia likely to drop and ruin the man who

CHILDREN, THRIFT AND
PATRIOTISM.

In summing up the total OF War Saw.
ings Stamps activity in 1918, some
remarkable records made by children
In the schools are shown. This means
not only a vast amount OF present
help to the Government. but snug sums
/ OF money for the children themselves
when the stamps reach maturity. But
the prospect Of financial gain, excellent
/ as II may be. is but small asset when
/ compared with the practical training
in thrift and the lessons in genuine pa
triotism which the young folks have
received.
Parents have been accused, often
Justly. Of overwhelming the children.
and It 10 true that many children grow
to maturity with no conception OF the
value Of money until forced to earn Il
for themselves. Even then they are
! ignorant as 10 how to apportion their
income, because untaught, and the
thought Of contributing to the general
welfare does not enter into such plan.

and these the children are acquiring

1919 exceeded government estimates
by more than ten million francs,
the total receipts being 421 100000

Further steps to free trade have
been taken by the government in the
abolishing of the rule requiring GER

vantage by being compelled to buy

Cognizance also was taken of the
fact that, the Germans are in posi-
