XMAS BONUSES TO
BE SAME AS IN 1924
Banks Generally Will Distrib-
ute Amounts Edual to
Those of Last Year.

large number of Wall Street banks
and trust companies are planning to
divide profits with their employees this
year. In most cases employees will re-
ceive their share in the form of a
Christmas bonus. but several banks
which have a regular profit sharing
plan will not pay bonuses. The bonuses
paid this year will be mostly equal to
last year. it was learned yesterday.
Several banks already have taken
bonus action and those which have not
probably will decide next week, when
directors hold final meetings of the
year.
The Chatham and Phenix National
Bank will pay bonus of 10 per cent.
to all employees earning $4,000 or less
and 5 per cent to all earning more
than $4,000. Last year this bank paid
blanket bonus Of 10 per cent.
The State Bank will pay this year a
bonus OF from 10 to 25 per cent, ac-
cording to the length of service of its
ten years service will receive 25 per
cent. The State Bank paid bonuses in
the same ratio last year.
The Chase National Bank has de-
cided to pay bonus at the same rate
as last year. This means a bonus of 10
per cent on the salaries of employees
in the banks service ten years and pro-
portionate amounts for those employed
less time.
The Bankers Trust Company expects
to pay the usual per cent. bonus to
it's employees this Christmas and the
Mechanics and Metals National Bank
expects to make a distribution. The
Metropolitan Trust Company paid a 10
per cent. bonus last year and probably
will do the same this year. The Bank
of New York and Trust Company prob
ably will distribute the usual 10 per
cent bonus.
The American Trust Company may
pay the same bonus as last year. Banks
and trust companies that have not yet
reached any decision regarding the pay
ment of a bonus but which will in all
probability duplicate last years per-
formance are the Bank of Manhattan.
Hanover National Bank. Seaboard Ma
tional Bank. National Park Bank. Co
lumbia Trust Company. New York Trust
Company. National Bank of Commerce
and the American Exchange Bank.
Those institutions that will adhere TO
their regular profit sharing plan and
will not pay Christmas bonuses include

Mansfield Fair and

| wish through these columns
to express my sincere thanks
to those persons who served so
faithfully during the Fair week
and helped so much to make it
success. In view of the many
elements existing in the way of
the Rail Road Strike and the

pleased with the results.
I wish esp acially to thank the
ladies who sisted in the various
departments, for their faithful
service and help in making the
display attractive and instruct.

would suggest however that
if you are to have a fair next
year that you commence not
later than March First to lay
your plans and formulate a
system which would make it
more complete and much easier
to handle. | would suggest the
purposes of small piece OF

trious farmers ia the country,
who raise a good crop of most
everything, and who always
have plenty, and fair surplus

A record crowd, espe cially on
Friday AID Saturday was in at
tendance, wood having the
largest delegation. Hartville,
Seymour and Ava were well re
presented, and the Mansfield
Fair has become famously known
as THE Worlds Fair of the
Ozarks. The people of Mansfield
and surrounding country can
well feel proud of the Wright
County Agricultural Fair and
Stock Show. There is one thing
we do feel proud Of, and that is
the interest manifested and the
attendance by the Norwood peo
pie.
The stock display, especially
the horses and mules were good
While the cattle, dairy cows and
hogs show that there are plenty
of farmers Interested in these
lines to keep up the grades, and
to continuously keep up efforts
for a better line and a higher
quality of this stock. The poul
try display was fine, and some
very fine birds were shown.
Farm products were far beyond
our expectations, and the excel.
lent display shows that little
dry weather does not effect re
suits of the. best and leading
farmers of the country. The
display of the various kinds of
grasses shows that this is a
grass country which is not to be
excelled by any of our sister
states.
The educational exhibit was
especially fine, which would lead
one to conclusive decision that
the school had not neglected
their part of the big show, and
that the children were being
carefully and properly looked
after in the schools.
The Fruit digplay was one of
the most complete and most
bea utiful of the entire show. All
examination of this display
would convince anyone, and the
world, that this is a real fruit
country. The only thing we
need is more people in this busi
ness, who understand the cul.
ture and care of fruit.
Did the ladies do their part?
Well, | guess. yes. The display
of Home Economics aud Fancy
Work was beyond criticism, and
a large display of dainties and
cookery, together with the vari.
Gus kinds and classes of needle
work. would convince any one,
that the Ozark Fair sex is a busy
industrious, tasty people.
Let it be said that the"WOrlds

is well established and big sue

of the banner years.
