JACKSONVILLE BANK.

ww ERE is a splendid banking in
institution, which is every
1" where recognized as one OF
the most substantial and de-
III pendable banking concerns in
this part of the State, which
had its inception in 1906. For more
than twelve years it has been render
ing a character of service that has
won the admiration of all who have
had dealings here. Starting with q
capital stock paid in Of $4,000, it
has progressed steadily and material
ly. In keeping with its growth and
advancement the capital stock was
increased in 1918 from $4,000 to
100000, each former stockhold re-
ceiving one hundred per cent stock
dividend and an additional $4,000 in
stock was disposed Of readily. The
deposits Of the year just ended have
mounted very high and with other
business the year goes on record as
the most successful since the or
ganiZation. The aggregate resources
OF the MadisonVille Bank to-day ex-
coed one-third of a million dollars,
which gives it standing among the
leading banks of this section There
is no doubt that the renIArka Bile
growth in recent years has been due
largely to capable AND efficient man
agement, combined with courteous
and fair dealing. While the bust
ness has been conducted along lines
OF sound banking principles to pro-
tect the interest Of every one, yet it
has been elastic enough to further
and finance reliable deals that have
been brought to the town or cum
munity.
The unusual growth of the bust
ness in recent years has been so great
that larger and more spacious quar-
ters are required. These necessary
Improvements have been deferred
during war times, but will begin with
the new year. When completed the
bank will be equipped to better serve
the interest Of its patrons, which has
always been strong feature in the
management of this institution.
The usual custom of the bank of
sending out calendars to its patrons
has been discontinued for this year
because OF the liberal appropriations
made by this bank to the Red Cross,
War Work Campaign, and other such
activities. Surely this action on the
part Of the bank should receive the
endorsement Of every one, when con-
sidering the great amount Of COM
fort it will bring to the boys lover
there" as well as the boys of other
nations who have served so faithfully
in the cause Of humanity.
The Madisonville Bank is manag-
ed and directed by Madisonville men.
Theo. Dendinger, president, is wide
ly known in business circles here and
one OF the leading men of the town.
Charles Oulleber, president, is
man Of broad business experience and
highly respected by every one. P. A,
Blanchard, cashier, has had a num-
Der of years experience in the bank
ing business. He devotes his entire
time to the affairs of the bank and
has shown rare judgment in direct
ing the affairs of this growing insti
tuition He has had broad business
experience covering period of many
years and there is no doubt that the
splendid business that has been de-
veloped is due, in large measure,
to his capable and Efficient manage
m aAt.

EWH the luxury of ice at your
GS8 door, made the St. Tammany
Ice & Manufacturing Com
pany d welcome institution to the
people. The service of this company
has ceased to be in the luxury class.
Ice and electricity to-day are necessi-
ties in every business and every home
with any pretention to modern COM
forts or up-to-date system.
AS the growth Of CoVington offer
ed opportunity for improvement, the
daily output of ten tons of ice was
increased, by the ms .allation of mod
ern equipment, to thirty tons, and
simple lighting has been extended to
introduction into homes and busienss
concerns the use Of electricity for
various domestic purposes and pow
er. To-day the plant furnishes
water, lights, power and ice. The
fire department is dependent upon it
in case of fire, the railroads for water
for it's engines. So dependent is
Covington upon this public utility
that it's closing down from accident
or other cause would practically
amount to a suspension of the bust
ness of the town. This concern,
therefore, is the most important that
Covington has, and the re5ponsibili-
ty resting upon the shoulders Of the
officials requires an executive Of nigh
ability and mechanical supertntend-
ence of thorough efficiency.
The company has in view many
modern improvements that would
have been installed ere this had not
war conditions made it impossible to
do so.
No concern will have greater in
fuence in the future growth and
prosperity of Covington. The SER
vice it renders is of nature that
affects property valuation, health,
comfort and business, and every in
dividual should be interested in it's
perfection to the highest degree, and
no home should be without its SER
vice.
The officers are: c. S. E. Babing-
ton, president; Paul J. Laborde, vice
president; E. J. Frederick, secretary
and treasurer.
The management is conducted by
E. J. Frederick. who is large prop
erty holder and who has been promi-
nent In the history and development
of Covirgton.
M. P. blanche, the superintendent
member OF the town council. He has
been actively in charge Of the plant

WORLD NEWS SUMMARY
Associated Press Review of Peace
Table Developments, and of Po-
IiticaI and Military Situation.

Germany has met with another re-
buff from the council of four of the
peace conference in the effort her
plenipotentiaries at Versailles are
making to secure alterations in the
peace treaty by setting forth objec-
lions in a series of notes.
The council has refused to consider
the note sent by the Germans regard
ing international labor legislation and
in a lengthy note states the reasons
why such consideration is not given.
The councils belief that the terms of
the treaty meet the objects the Ger
mans profess to desire is set forth, and
the defects in the German plan are
pointed out. Vigorous measures that
will be an immediate result of re-
fusal of the Germans to sign the peace
treaty have been planned by the coun-
Gil Marshal Foch, commander in
chief of the allied armies, is on the
Rhine front and dispatches state he
will take such action as is necessary in
the event of the failure of the enemy
to sign the treaty.
An imm ediate economic blockade
of Germany also is planned as a part
of the program in case continued hos
tile action against the enemy is con-
sidered necessary.
The Austrian peace mission is at
st. -En-Laye, near Paris, hav
ing arrived Wednesday night and the
belief in some quarters is that the
peace terms the delegates will be
asked to sign will be presented to them
within a week, possibly within three
or four days. The Adriatic question
which has so important a bearing on
the Austrian treaty, has not yet been
adjusted, however, and this fact may
serve to delay the presentation of the
terms.
Meanwhile there are reports that
strong Italian forces have been landed
al the ports of lara and Sebenico on
the Dalmatian coast between Fiume
and Spalato. These forces are said to
have moved inland and to be fortify-
ing strategic points.

New York. May 15.-Kansas helped
make the victory loan a success back
here in the east as well as in the Kan
sas district. This automobile, decor
ated with huge sunflowers of cloth
and real flowers and greens from the
florists, was one of the forty-eight
machines, representing the states of
the union, which took part in the last
great loan demonstration on Fifth
avenue. Its position in the line was
close behind the fleet of trundling
French whippet tanks and near the
head of the delegations from states.
Those who rode in the Kansas auto
were not all from the Sunflower state.
They were wounded men from the
army hospitals, eightof them all told,
and enjoyed the parade quite as much
as their comrades who marched the
six mile course. It is estimated that
nearly one thousand wounded soldiers
took part in or viewed the pageant.
After the parade the grand master
of ceremonies who took charge of the
entire demonstration, made personal
visit to the Kansas Welcome associa-
ton headquarters at SO West Fortieth
street. to tell Miss Helen N. Ostertag.
the secretary. that the Kansas asso-
citation was the finest and most at
tractively decorated machine in the
parade.
The Kansas machine here pictured
is the property of a former Topeka
