institution will hereafter be known as the Irving Lincoln National bank.
 THE NEW ERA BANKING
 When Thomas L. James retired from President Arthur's cabinet, in which for a few months he served as Post master General, some of his friends in New York organized for him a bank across the street from the Grand Cen tral station It was almost out in the country. For at that time what is now the Grand Central district was a place of modest homes, no large busi- ness having been established there, and the wonder was how bank could expect to succeed in d district where little or no business was carried on. But the Vanderbilts were behind this bank. They made General James presi- dent, and they threw much of the money returns from the New York Gen. tral and from the New Haven into the deposit line of the Lincoln bank so that it grew.
 THEY LOOKED FAR AHEAD
 These men with prophetic vision fore cast the growth of the Grand Central district. Perhaps they did not realize the magnitude of that growth, or that some of the loftiest business /struc- lures in New York and many of the ultra fashionable hotels would be cs- abolished there. But they knew that the district was certain to become a business center. And after lew years it began to be known as the up town Wall street. Today it Is as con- spicuous for business, hotels, office buildings as is Wall street itself al- though it is nearly four miles north of the Wall street district. The Lin- coin bank at the end of it's first year | deposits are a little under s30,00o,0oO, and it's resources somewhat in excess of $40, 900, 900.
 GROWTH OF THE IRVING BANK
 Twenty years after the Lincoln bank was established in the Grand Central district the Irving National bank was struggling along, not commanding much confidence. although there was no doubt of it's solvency. Its business was chiefly in the woolen goods dis trict. i
 No one could have dreamt what it's future was to be. But with the advent of Lewis Pierson a spresident and the association with him of men of large capital, as for instance Frank Wool worth, who built the Woolworth tower. John H. Flagler and others, the bank grew approximately more rapidly than any other bank In New York. It took in trust companies. It sought to buy an uptown bank, the Columbia, and it was at last recognized as one of the leading banks of New York.
 Now 1t has cut in ahead of large trust company which was contemplat- ing the purchase of the Lincoln bank and 1t also has taken control of the Lincoln bank from the Stillmans. The greater bank which his consolidation

This is the significant feature associated with the consolidation of the Irving National with the Lincoln National bank.

Sioux City, la. = Farm tenantry is
one of the problems over which the
production experts have ben wrinkling
a wicked brow. The growth OF abb
sentee landlorism in many states, par
ticularly those east of the Mississippi
has been held up as one cause for mi
grafton from the countryside to the
city factories.
High prices of land, capitalized in
many sections beyond its actual pro-
due We value, have discouraged the
hired man, whose ambition has always
been to get a stake in the land, and
have made him more responsive to the
call Of the big cities, shorter hours
greater pay, and to his establishment
also, the far higher cost of living.
Also by tenantry, lands have beer
stripped and robbed-meaning lessen

AS yet the theorists are still in thu

in Illinois, are seeking to assemble

ports the general theory has been that
tenantry has grown at such rapid
rate, during the last ten years that
so per cent. of the farms of America
are now run by renters. When in
doubt, the guessers always seem to
hoist the $3.50 flag.
Out here in the tall uncut, how
ever, absentee landlordism has not in
creased at such a rate. This tour of
inquiry has now passed through four
states--Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, and
Nebraska-and has found conditions
as to tenantry exceedingly variable
Two points that protrude from talks
with hundreds of farmers and small
city business mem are these:

bound to fertilize the land; there must
be rotation of crops; the owner sees tc

2. In large part of the mid-wes
grain belt the growth of tenantry has
been overestimated so has the matter
of depopulation of the rural regions.
Starting in Illinois, the seeker fol
enlightenment found in the Mon
mouth-Galesburg sector of the corr
belt that tenantry had grown to tn
80 per cent. mark. Some authoritie
placed it at 60 per cent. They attrib
uted it to the high price Of land, $S5
to $3.50 an acre and even higher. Blu
they testified that satisfaction reigne
