Washington, Jan 31.-The treaty

day, February 10, Senator Hitchcock

now proceed with the consideration
of the treaty with Germany"
Between now and February 10 a

County Attorney
To Sit up Nights
For Thirsty Ones

VIM. Stacey, county attorney, is
planning to sit up nights, armed
With a big stick and wait for a thirs-
ty one who, he believes, will return
to the court house in quest of wee
nip O something.
Mr.. Stacey has been conducting a
campaign against the sale of bever-
ages with a kick and has instituted
IN investigation as to the alcohol
content of hair tonic, extracts and
what not. Recently he purchased a
bottle of vanilla and another of LEM
On extract with the idea of having
them analyzed.
He had them carefully laid away
N a drawer of his desk. This morn
ing he discovered that the vanilla
bottle was empty and the lemon ex-
tract bottle entirely missing, which
omopts his belief that he had a
thirsty visitor during the night.

BANK RESOURCES INCREASE

WASHINGTON Decentralization
of the country's banking resources
and Widespread distribution of wealth
indicated by an increase in banking
resources Of 1000 per cent Or more
in sixteen states since 1899 was
shown ba a comparison of present
bank resources with conditions 90
years ago, issued by John SHELTON
Williams, comptroller of the cur
rency.
The banking power of the country
two years ago was concentrated
mainly in the east, the report said.
and national banks in New England
and eastern states, comprising but 6
per cent of the territory of the
United States, held almost 60 per
cent of the total resources of all
the national banks in the country.
The proportion of the resources of
banks in those states to all others
now has fallen to 46.7S percent, al
though the resources of the national
banks in those states have increased
277 per cent or $7,71O937 900.
