HARRY N. GRUT CHO-
SEN BANK PRESIDENT
Succeeds F. II. Rawson of the
Mercantile Trust, Who Be-
comes Chairman of Board of
Directors.

Harry N. Grut was on Tuesday
chosen president of the Mercantile
Trust and Savings bank. He succeeds
Frederick H. Rawson, who retired
from the presidency to become chair
man of the board of directors, posi-
ton newly created for him.
Mr. Grut is 40 years old. He began
his banking career in 1894 as a mes
senger with the old Royal Trust COM
pany In 1897 he went to the old Con-
tinenta1 National bank as a clerk, and
in 1912 he became cashier of the new
1y organized Mercantile Trust and
Savings bank. Last year he was
elected a vice president and director.
This bank began with a capital of
100000, which last year was increased
to 100000. 1t has surplus of $112,-
900 and deposits exceeding $5,2OO,OOO.

There are additionals of from 10 to
81 cents for the various park districts
of Rogers Park and Jefferson.
Among the various taxing bodies of
the city, Lincoln Park imposed the
greatest increase for maintenance.
This increase is from A to II cents in
North Chicago and from 48 to IA in
Lake View. North Chicago, therefore,
takes the lead by 27 cents in the in
crease from this source.
Next comes the city of Chicago
with 21 cents increase, or from $2.O8
to 1929. This is due largely to the
last 100000 bond issue for various
street widening improvements.
The sanitary district and the west
park board came along with net de-
creases in their rate. The sanitary
district Topped off $2,S26, 1886 from
it's maintenance levy and the west
park board reduced it's annuity and
benefit fund assessment by $61,158.32,
and its levy for bonds and interest by
S24,72O. The sanitary district thus
. effected a decrease of 6 cents in its
rate and the west park board cent.
Cook county, as a taxing body, in
creased it's rate from 49 to So cents.
This was effected by reduction of
the original levy for road bonds by
$2O8,125.
The rate Of the board of education
was increased from $1.59 to 1852.
This would have been considerably
higher but for the fact that the board
reduced it's original estimate of needs
for building purposes from $8,900,0 900
to $4,000 OOO A surplus from last
years fund rendered this possible.
The forest preserve district in
creased it's assessment for bond and
interest by $177,880, and hence it was
necessary to add 1 cent to last years
rate.

the Georgia chapters of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution was
launched at the conference held in
Moultrie in 1920, at which time it was

educating boy each year. The
amount will be loaned the student for
the purpose Of completing his edu-
cation, thus rendering daily SER
vice in memory of those who died
for the Americanization of the citi-
zenry Of this country and of the
democracy of the world.
Through this means the name Of
the Daughters of the American Rev
olution will be perpetuated through
generations to come. constituting , a
loving tribute to the memory of the
Georgia boys in khaki.
Three thousand dollars of the to-
tai amount is to be raised before the
conference in April. At commence
ment in June it is planned to have
the state regent, Mrs Max Land, of
Cordele, deliver this memorial fund
to The University to be used for the

BEAUTIFUL PROGRAM GIVEN
BY MUSIC STUDY CLUB

A program of unusual interest
was presented Wednesday morning
at the Community Club house by
the Music Study club at their regu-

reception rooms Of the building.
Outstanding among the attractive
features was the reading by Miss Su-

he exquisite pathos of the poem
was tenderly interpreted by Miss
Stallings.
Miss Mary Dudley, Miss Pauline
Bell and Miss Elizabeth Harris, three
talented young girls of Americas, af-
filiated with the club at the meeting
Wednesday, and gave several attract
i've numbers. They will be partici-
pants in the programs to be given

coined into the membership. They
displayed unusual enthusiasm at the
meeting, and it is evident that they
will add greatly to the pleasure of the
future programs.
A letter was read from the state
pLCGlNShI III iSSdIQ 10 lu6 lSQeEdIlOn
Of musical clubs to be held in Rome
in March. Delegates will be Sc
lected from this club who will at
tend the convention and report.
Another interesting paragraph of
the letter stated that a young ar
lists contest will be held at an early
date, the participants in the contests
to be gathered from all sections of
the state who will play for the gold
medal to be given for the successful
winner Of the honor in the state. The
winner in the state contest viii be
eligible for entrance into the ma

played in Americas last year, and
who won honorable mention in the
