ALL WERE UNABLE TO SWIM
Mrs. Fred AllOway, Jr., HeroicalIy
Dives in and Saves Life of
Sturgis Girl.

Sturgis, KY, July 27.-Two young
men, former classmates at college
drowned today attempting to save
the bride of one of them. They were
Emil Keller, son of DR.. Keller Of
Louisville, and Lowell Seagrave, sor
of Easton Seagrave, of this place.
Keller came here yesterday to visit
Seagrave, who was married short
time ago. The Seagraves gave pic
mic today in his honor
The party crossed the Ohio river
at Casayville, five miles above this
place to a spot recognized as the
best picnic grove in this region.
"A rock bar in the river provided
temptation for wading. Mrs. Sea-
grave while wading, walked into a
step off thirty feet deep. She was
unable to swim
Young Seagrave, also unable 20
swim leaped in after her. Struggling
together, the two went down. Keller,
who recently returned home after a
years service abroad, and who was
an inexperienced swimmer, plunged
in after them.
Their shouts brought Mrs Fred
Alloway, Jr., WHO was sitting nearby
on barge. She dived from the rear
of the barge and swan to their res
cue. j. M. Chapman followed her.
Mrs. Alloway secured hold on
Seagrave and his young bride, who
were lashing the water into foam.
She was handicapped by their strug-
giles, and several times gave up herI
grip. She persistently regained al
hold on both.
Saves Young Bride.
The struggle becoming unequal,
she gave up trying to, save Seagrave,
and swan to shore with Mrs. Sea-
grave, now unconscious. In the
meantime Chapman bent his effort to-
ward rescuing Keller. In this he met
defeat by the latter's struggles.
BY the time Mrs. Alloway had
reached the bank Keller had gone
under for the third time and Chap
man was making desperate efforts
70 save himself. Mrs. Alloway
brought him to shore.
The two young people were drown
ed short distance from the bank.
The water measures more than sol.
'eet deep, however Of the five who
we're at the scene, Chapman and Mrs.
AllOway were the only ones able to
win. The young heroine, who is al l.
o bride, is considered an expert p
winner. She was reared in Toron-
o, Can, and spent many of her days :
winning in the Great Lakes. She
twenty years old.
Citizens will make an effort to Sc

odies were recovered.

GOLDEN ASHMAN
VALUES WASTE
Dawes, British Salvage Direc-
tor, Urges Thrift Against
Word .'Refuse"

London - ]. c. Dawes. until
recently assistant director of British
national salvage and technical ad-
wiser to the national salvage coun-
Gil. has just been named inspector of
public cleansing and salvage under
the British Ministry of Health. He
is Britain's Golden Ashman", to
whom is intrusted the profitable task
of cleaning dollars from dust and
revenue from refuse.
Mr.. Dawes can wander into any
! backyard garden, lift the dustbin lid
and at glance analyze the none
tary value of the contents. He is
full of interesting items of informa-
ton about refuse, such as: THE
household refuse of Great Britain
amounts to 100000 tons and the
greater part of it is usable. 1t con-
tains S,500.0O0 tons of fuel and 10
per cent. of that has the value of
good steam coal. Fuel thrown
away in the garbage tins is worth
| $6,250,O00 a year. Rags from the
refuse heap have a value of $1,750,-
600. Bones from the kitchens OF
England equal in money 100000.
Would Organize Country
What Mr.. Dawes means to do is 10
! organize a great peace time cam
i paign for refuse salvage and DIT the
| same time to improve the municipal
sanitary services. There will be no
uncleared ashcans when the Golden
Ashman" gets busy. He suggests
that all great municipalities should
install special machinery for sort
ing refuse so that the gold may he

vantages of membership of the Lon
don Bankers Clearing House with

Dublin.
Two other banks-the Belfast
Banking Company and the Ulster
Bank-are now under the control
of the London Joint City and Mid
land Bank and the London County
Westminster and PARIS Bank, re-
spectively. The remaining banks,
the Bank of Ireland, the Hibernian
Bank, Minister and Leinster North
ern Banking Company. and the
Royal Bank of Ireland. are admin
lstered entirely in Ireland. The
largest Irish bank is the National,
founded in 1885 by the great Daniel
OConnell. 1t heads the list of de-
posits with u total of some $780,
100000. the Bank of Ireland COM
ing next with $110.000.000.
Advances to Farmers
1t is the practice of the banks to
make advances to the farmers in
many cases on note of hand alone at
about bank rate.
This is evidence of the genuine de-
sire of the banks to foster and en-
courage agricultural industry. In
the north of Ireland and other man
ufacturing parts collateral security
! for advances is usually available.
Interest is allowed on deposits at the
advertised rates but special rates
are occasionally arranged for i'm
portant amounts.
In connection with the increase

100000 in the Irish deposits. it is
| interesting to note that advances
during the same period have in
| creased by only s40.000,000. This
| proportionately small increase is due
| to he reduced demand for accom-
modation by the farmers in conse-
quence of the higher prices obtained
for their produce and the falling off
in the requirements for industries
which have had to curtail their op-

erations owing to the enhanced cost
of building materials, etc.
The banks have, therefore. been
enabled to invest largely in the gov
ernment loans and treasury bills.
These latter are Immediately nego-
table and afford a very convenient
means of investment for the bank
ers, who thus preserve their re-
sources in the most fluid form. The
figures under the head of "cash in
hand and money at CALL" etc. show
an advance of $220.O00.000. This,
of course, is not such a profitable
employment of funds as the unthink-
ing might suppose, but it is un-
doubtedly prudent, and ii is an i'm
mense satisfaction to know that our
banks keep such n large proportion
of their assets in liquid form-im-
| mediately realizable.
With their additional resources,
the banks have naturally been able
TO show larger earnings and higher
dividends have prevailed although.
with the increase in income tax the
shareholder is not much better off.
Establishment charges have risen
! considerably, and have made great
| inroads into the profits of the banks.
| But in spite of this it is a source OF
|
rates that they have been able to
make substantial additions to their
reserve funds and pay higher divi-
dends and at the same time meet
| the unprecedented advanced in
working expenses.

ton in Ireland one can only congrat-

The subject of foreign exchange

consideration by the bankers in Ire
land. Some have already established
foreign departments, which are ap-
parently working satisfactory; but
they are no doubt handicapped by
their distance from London. which
is the nerve center" In this class

ness hours of a day. Telegraphs are
none too speedy for this class OF
business-or any other. In fact the
question of foreign exchange is one
that requires the utmost possible
care.-London Times.

tie and foodstuffs. Ireland has been
enabled to export very largely; the
result being a considerable influx
of money.
1t is mainly owing to that that
during the last ten years the total
deposits and cash balances with the
banks in Ireland has risen from
$2s5,000,e00 to $500, 600, ,0O0-an in
crease of no less than 1856, 600 900.
That expansion is all the more re-
markable when the fact is taken into
consideration that very large sums
have been invested in the various
war loans. 1t would not be SurpriS-
ing to see a reduction in these fig
ures shortly, as there are, no doubt,
large deposits of trading concerns
awaiting business development.
Notes in circulation during the
same period have risen from $780,
100000 to $150.000, 900.
In this connection it is to be re-
membered that virtually all the ag-
ricultural transactions in Ireland
are on a cash basis. Gold coin be-
! ing no longer available, farmers and
| cattle dealers apparently prefer to
| settle their accounts in Irish bank
notes, and consequently loose cash
in the form of paper is more freely
! carried. The additional impost on
[ checks encourages the thrifty to
! keep themselves constantly supplied
with notes. During the war Irish
banknotes were made legal tender
and will probably so continue.
Leads in Bank Facilities
| 1t has been asserted that in pro-
! portion to it's population Ireland is
better equipped with banking ia
c'lities than any other country in
! the world. 1t has nine joint stock
banks. In 1908 these banks had
among them 613 branches in Ire
land. At the close of 1918 that fig
ure had risen to S4S. Two of the
| banks-the National and the Provin-
! cial-have their head offices in Lon
don, the former combining the ad-

ALASKA PRODUCES TIN

The tin mines of Alaska produced
136,OOO pounds of tin, valued at
$11S,00O, in 1918, according to the
United States Geological Survey, De-
partment of the Interior. These
figures may be compared with 20O,-
600 pounds, valued at $123,S00, in
1917. The decrease in output in
1918 was due to the fact that only
one dredge was operated. Additional
tin, however, was recovered by sluic-
ing. The first important production
of Alaska tin was reported in 1902,
when the output was Is tons. Since
1912 the average has been over 100
tons annually.
The recent discovery of placer tin
has been reported from Potato and
Humboldt creeks, on Steward PENN
sula, and from Moran Creek, q tribu-
tary of Melozi River, where the
gravels are said to contain az
pounds of tin and 10 cents worth
of gold to the cubic yard.

SPRING IMPROVEMENTS.

Few things give more pleasure and
satisfaction than living in a beautiful
town. One may not have much money
to spend or the development of his
home place. But whoever raises fine
trees, shrubs, and flowers, gives pleas
ure to all his townspeople. And all
can help maintain hat order which is
the foundation of all beauty.
To secure a town of this kind takes
constant effort and vigilance. The
general run of people are careless, and
they are very busy. If a few people
on a street are Indifferent about main
tanning order, the bad example infects
the whole neighborhood.
/ So there needs to be a persistent
campaign to create higher standards
of care of the exterior of homes and
public places. The desire should be
cultivated for such improvements as
will beautify the community and all
it's dwellings.
Higher standards of care are neces-
sary than formerly if a community is
to acquire a reputation for an attrac-
tive appearance. A stream of automo-
bile visitors mi through from early
spring to winter. If the people of this
community are slow to clean up their
grounds and remove rubbish, if there
is a general condition of neglect, no
one of these visitors will have much
to say in favor of Pl~easantville. But
if the spring cleanup work is thor
oughly done, if there is a general ap-
pearance of neatness and care, the
word will be passed in every town
within 100 miles.
If the people are active in planting
trees and ~shrubbery, working to beau
tify their homes and streets, that fact
will make it's impression on a wide
area of country. The word will go
around that in a few years P~leasantyille
is going to be the finest place in this
section, from the way the people are
taking hold to make improvements.
