{ il l'l22 Ia Az. Window
Display Award Is
GiveE, TO Joseph
B. Altman & Co. Are Sec
ond, William Baumgar-
ten & Co. Third, With
Dobbs & Co. Fourth

The Fifth Avenue Association jury,
chosen to award the Arthur Williams
medal to the firm showing the most
artistic window display during Fifth
Avenue Week, announced yester-
day that the prize had been won by
Joseph 632 Fifth Avenue. B. Altman &
Co. was second, William Baumgarten
e. Co. third, and Dobbs G. Co. fourth
In addition, honorable mention is
awarded to Bergdorf g. Goodman Com
pany, N. Hicks & Son, Hickson. Inc,
Haskell & Haskell and Reed & Barton.
The jury consisted of j. Monroe
Hewlett, chairman; Robert Grier Cooke,
Franklin o. Duryea, Bassett Jones and
Frederick N. Sard.
"The window selected for the medal"
it says in its report, "and those desig-
mated for first, second and third special
mentions and the five awarded honor
able mention, all display an exquisite
sense of fitness, nicely of discrimi-
nation as to what is and is not ap-
propriate and an appeal to the imagi-
nation and interest Of the public based
essentially upon the intrinsic character
OF the goods dealt in.
ut is in imagination and pictorial
ments of It's arrangement that the
window selected for the medal seems
to excel above all the others. Fur
thermore, the others selected for spe-
clal mention have not to the same
extent emphasized the festal character
of Fifth Avenue Week and the spring
season, but are rather arrangements
Of great beauty and distinction which
would be equally appropriate at anV
other time.
"The display of Messrs. B. Altman
& Co. is given first mention by reason
of the uniformly high ard harmonious
quality that pervades the exposition
Of great variety of objects in MANY
windows without loss of unity of effect
Zone point should be mentioned in
regard to which the window Of Mcssrs
William Baumgarten G. Co. exccls all
others, and that is the added interest
to be gained by opening the back Of
the window into the interior, so as to
obtain the greatest possible effect of
depth in the vista disclosed. This re-
Gulres most careful arrangement and
lighting of the entire interior in order
to avoid the danger of dctracting from
the brlliancy of the actual window dis
play.
ON general there seems to be a
tendency toward over elaboration in
the screens or curtain walls that scpa-
rate the windows from the shops be-
hind. This detracts from the interest
OF the window display, and in some
cases owing to the polished woodwork
or other rejecting surfaces. causes a
disagrccable glitter from the other
wise concealed lights"

on the second story ratings of the
bridge going over from the hotel
to the springs, and the little creep
ing bugs and flying flies were sure
to be entangled among the silver
threads that looked so harmless, as
was evident as we watched the
small feet of the little creatures
that were caught and their effort to
extricate themselves, and invariably
found it easier to get farther in
than to get out. To get into that
web was certain ruin.
So it is with many of the business
traps Of speculation, promotion

are set in many blocks Of the city,
where young men, by stalking their
little savings, are sure to lose when
the fatal ball rolls them out.
Somehow the loser becomes
spellbound until he is penniless.
The venture of ten cent piece

Plans For New Bank Here
Are Now Under Construction
Charter Has Been Asked For National Bank of
Commerce. National Bank Examiner
Here Looking Things Over

By dint of diligent inquiry the
Democrat has been able to gather a
few facts regarding the application
for a charter for the National Bank
of Commerce, but the promoters have
requested that they not be made
public at this time.
Lewis Wilson, National Bank Ex-
aminer was in the city Tuesday going
over the proposition, but the result
of his investigation was not made
public.
The Democrat was partially cor
rect in its surmise that the bank was
being promoted by out-of-town
people. but we also learn that local
people will become interested should
the proposition go through.
The ultimate fate of the PROPOSE
ton may rest upon the oil develop
ment in this field, but this is not
given out by the promoters.

THIS YEARS WHEAT CROP
is THE THIRD LARGEST

TOPEKA, KAN, August TO-
This years wheat crop is the third
largest in the history of the state,
and is estimated at 126,600,000 bu-
shells an average of 16 blu. to the
acre, according to the monthly crop
report issued today by Edward C.
Paxton, U. S. Department of Agri-
culture statistian for Kansas. This
estimate is more than 26,000,000
bushels below the 150,OO0,000 figure
recently estimated by J. c. Mohler,
secretary of the state board of agri-
culture. who claims that this years
is the second largest crop in the his
tory of the state.
So. Estimate Increased
Mr.. Paxton's estimate is $4,000, 900
larger than his estimate of a month
ago. The yield-sixteen bushels to
the acre-he said is the largest aver
age since 1914, and has been excelled
only four times in the last thirty
years. His report says:
"The best average yields and the
areas of major production lie alto
gether in the northern half of the
state, particularly in the northern
third. The counties of the Solomon
valley are especially well favored. In
the southern third of Kansas are
twenty cunties that show average
yields of 10 bushels or less. Of the
total winter wheat crop this year in
the United States 1872 is found in
Kansas. The states also has produced
$4,000 bushels of spring wheat this
year, mostly in the northwestern and
west central counties. The grade and
quality of wheat produced this season
is especially fine, being rated at 90
per cent, allowing 100 per cent to
represent high medium grade. This
with rating of 81 per cent
in 1919, 80 per cent in 1918, go per
cent in 1916 and 80 per cent in
1915"
