Thomas H. Dodge Speaks
At Cony High School
On Banking as a Vocation,

AT the morning assembly of the
students of Cony High school Friday.
Thomas H. BODICE, assistant treas
urer of the State Trust Co., gave an
excellent talk on Banking AS A

the series being given in connection

which is being given in five high
schools of the county, under the di-
rectlon of County Y. M. C. A. Secre-
tary Thomas H. Leonard.
In the course of his remarks, Mr..
Dodge said that the history of bank
ing dated back to the first bank or
gained in Italy in the year III,
and which operated until 1907. This
was the first bank in the world. The
second was opened in Genoa in the
year 1887 and was the first bank to
issue transferable notes. They oper-
ated until Napoleon, the First swept
down into Italy and ruined the bust
ness of the country. The next bank
was at Amsterdam, in 1909. The
next, at Hamburg. in 1919, and is
still going. The Bank of England
was organized in 1894, in order to
finance the government. The first
bank in the United States was or
ganized at Philadelphia in 1850, to
meet the needs of the Continental
army. This bank is also still oper-
ating.
Mr.. Dodge then took up the fea-
lures of the Banks Purposes"

GIRLS CLUB NOTES

Tbs executive committee of the Au-
gusta Girls Community club met in
regular session, Thursday evening at
the club house. Matters to come be-
fore the annual meeting which will
take place next Friday evening were
brought up before the Thursday even
ing meeting. The girls clubs of Wa
terville, this city and Gardiner are
making plans for a Maine league
meeting to be held in May. At this
time it is the plan that the members
of the three clubs get together and
have a program The Augusta girls
are very anxious to have the first
Maine league meeting and they are
already making plans towards it. If
the meeting is held in May it will
mean that Miss Jean Hamilton, Ma
tional League secretary, can be pres
ent, and have part in the program.
Those who have met Miss Hamilton
at the Massachusetts headquarters
say she is most delightful woman
and they warrant that the Maine
girls will enjoy her visit very much.
The election of officers will take
place at the meeting of next week.
The fact remains that just as much
as each girl puts into the club, just
that much she gets out of it and more
never less. But there are members
who are not taking the interest in
the club that they should in order to
enjoy the club privileges. 1t means
that every girl should get busy and
make herself known in club activities
a few are not running the club-ev-
cry girl has a share if she will as
sumo it. The appropriation commit
tee will have something of interest to
report at the meeting.

Mr.. and Mrs. Ferdinand Vollmer, who
reside three miles northeast of this
city, committed suicide Sunday morn

The young man had been brooding
over poor crops and the fact that he
would not have sufficient money to
marry the woman to whom he was en-
gagged, a girl living back in the old
home, Benson, Mimi.
Mr.. Vollmer, who was very ener-
getic young farmer, worked hard dur
ing the summer, expecting big crop
from the early favorable conditions.
He lived with his parents and with his
two brothers, Emil and Ferdinand.
The Vollmers cropped two sections Of
land and in addition William rented
4S0 acres which he put into crop.
He had been busy all week operat-
ing header, but for some time act
ed despondent and frequently stated
that the crop was not worth cutting,
altho it's average yield was six or
eight bushels per acre. He kept in
sisting that the brothers should not
proceed with the cutting and Sunday
morning when they out to continue
the work, William borrowed couple
of dollars from his mother and came
to Minot. He bought q small bottle
of strychnine in this city stating that
he wished to poison gophers and en-
route home took about half Of the

upon returning to Scotland, step back
into his old position. For many years
