Presumption, Jan. 20.-For the
first time in a great many years the
young people OF Presumption and the

(specaiI Correspondence

Sterling, ILL.,, Jan. 2O-A startling
revelation, which may lead to the
uncovering of defalcations that
will swell the shortage of the First
State Bank of Lyndon thousands OF
dollars, was made on Wednesday
morning when the directors Of the
Institution had gathered with a
view to reopening the bank for
business. The news has just come
to light. This revelation augment
ed by the failure of the cashier who
had been employed to show up to
begin his work, prompted the di-
rectors to announce that resump-
ton of the business by the bank
would be deferred pending an in
vestigation of the latest develop
ments which came as a stumbling
block just when everything was
believed to have been arranged to
start up the bank again.
Frank E. Fitch, one of the heav-
lest depositors of the bank, brought
his pass book to have it checked
up Wednesday morning while the
directors were discussing the re-
opening of the institution. The
pass book showed a deposit of
about $4,000 to Mr.. Fftch's credit.
Investigation disclosed that the
books showed Mr.. Fitch's account
overdrawn about $500. This dis
closure came like the explosion Of
bombshell to the directors and to
the bank examiners, who have been
working so hard to arrange the de-

STYLE SHOW At
HIGH SCHOOL Is
BIG ATTRACTION
Especial Correspondence

Geneseo, Jan. 20.-The style show
and community moving pictures at
the high school last evening drew
a packed house. Extra chairs were
brought into the assembly room
and many present were compelled
to stand throughout the evenings
program.
THE style show" was a reyela-
ton to many of those present. The
dresses and hats were displayed
with students of the high school as
living models The instructor is
Miss Grace Jenne, to whom much
credit is due for the excellence of
the garments which were shown
and for the attractiveness of the
display
The stage setting was that of a
fashionable salon OF a manufactur-
er of garments and hats. The first
display was that of bingham dress
es. Four patterns of wool sport
skirts were then shown. after which
six models wearing wool skirts
suitable for street or school wear
were presented.
Eight patterns in wool dresses
and seven well-modeled hats were
shown. Five patterns in house
dresses were also displayed.
The particularly pleasing feature
OF the style show was the appear
ance of II small children wearing
examples of neat and serviceabIe
children's dresses. These included
a few suits for boys. The presence
of these II children and their ma
tive mannerisms as mannikins
were conducive of much whole
hearted applause.
The final showing was that of IL
silk dresses, all of which were made
by girls of the high school and
worn by them. This final display
included one frock for informal aft
ernoon wear
''The style show" has become an
annual fixture in the activities of
the high school and does much to
bring to the minds of many people
some appreciation of the commend
able work which is being accom-
plished there, The high school or
chestra played several selections
preceding the style show.
The movie which was presented
last night was "A Pair of Sixes.''
There will be no showing of COM
munity motion pictures next week
on account of the Henry county
basketball tournament, which be-
gins next Thursday night.

Play Ambrose Tonight.

Tonight will witness another
hard struggle for the Geneseo high
school basketball team when it
meets the St. Ambrose Juniors of
Davenport, Iowa, at Weimer's thea
ire, in this city. The Saints have
won every game played this season.
If the local basket tossers can go
into .tonight's game with the same
degree of determination to win
which characterized their play last
week against Canton, it is the opin-
ion of many that they will win.
Father Adrian, who is coaching the
Catholic boys at the academy at
Davenport, always develops a team
which shows plenty of fighting
spirit and game which is marked
with fast floor work, good passing
and accurate basket tossing.
The interest in the local team
is being maintained at a high pitch,
the people of the city attending the
games in a manner hardly seen in
places of much larger population.
1t is expected that the attendance
tonight will be at least 1000 peo-
pie. Koch. formerly of Wisconsin
university but now residing in Dav-
export, will referee.

REVEALS INCREASED SHORTAGE OF
CASHIER OF LYNDON STATE BANK

tails so that the bank could be re-
opened.
The discovery OF what appears
to be a mortgage of Sic, 900 in Mr.
Fitch's account has opened a new
avenue of crookedness of the alb
sconding cashier, which will re-
quire careful probing before the
exact amount of his misappropria-
ton of funds will be known All
of the pass books of the depositors
will be called for by the bank ex-
aminers for comparison with the
books kept by Cashier Buzzell. If
Mr.. Buzzell embezzled money from
the account of Mr.. Fitch it gives
reason for belief that the same
breach of trust would be practiced
by him in the accounts of other de-
positors.
1t is likely that the disclosure of
the additional crooked work on the
part of the erstwhile cashier would
have halted the reopening OF the
bank even if B. H. Ryan, assistant
cashier of the East Moline tSate
Bank, had showed up to being as
cashier of the East Moline State
tracted to do. When Mr. Ryan
failed to put in his appearance
Wednesday morning, communica-
ton was obtained with him and it
was learned that he did not intend
to accept the position, declaring
that his father, who is cashier of
the East Moline bank, desired that
he remain in his present position as
assistant cashier
