ORWETo WINE SUITED HIM
Story of the German Bishop Ex-
plains the "ESt, Est, Est" on
the Bottles.

There is a story told of a Ger
man bishop in the Middle Ages who
Travelled through Italy, stopping at
every inn to which he came in order
to sample the wine Of the country.
Whenever he found an exceptionally
good wine he gave his servant piece
Of chalk from his pocket, and the
servant wrote the Latin word Est"
on the door of the inn, meaning 1T
is good"
Finally the bishop came to OrvietO,
and was served with a bottle Of
OrEieto wine. When he had finished
It he asked for another; and when he
had finished the second he called for
a third; and when he had finished the
third he took a piece Of chalk from his
pocket and went in person to the door
Of the inn and wrote on it the words
Est! Est! Est!' which meant that
the wine Of Orvieto. was three times as
good as any other wine that he had
ever tasted. And from that day until
the day Of his death he remained In
Orvieto and drank nothing but Orv1et0
wine and his tombstone may be seen
in Orvieto to this day, stating that
he died Of too much OrvietO.
AS for the wine Of OrvietO, the
bottles in which it is sold always
bear the words Est Est! Estl" to
commemorate the excellent taste OF
the German bishop.

sparows to the Rescue.

News of a remarkable case Of bird
intelligence comes from Manchester,
London Tit-Bits states.
Several people at the Assizes noticed
the peculiar behavior Of a sparrow
which was Ieaping from one Of the
chimneys and then falling to the
roof as though injured, but nobody ap-
peared to suspect that the bird was q
prisoner.
On opening the court the next day
the attention Of the officials was at
tracted by the excited chirping Of a
number of other sparrOws, and 1t was
seen that the original sparrow was
still duttering feebly on the roof
In a few minutes the watchers
realized that the newcomers were feed
ing the exhausted bird and several
crumbs Of bread and biscuits fell to
the ground.
Ladders were obtained and an at
tendant climbed to the roof and found
that the legs Of the sparrow were
held fast by q piece Of thread, the
other end of which was entagied In
the brickwOrk. 1t was quickly re-
leased and after being given crumbs
and water was set free to join Its
fellows.

Peter Stuyvesant The old eg-legged
autocrat had his own intelligence serv.
Ice and he became convinced that the
New England and Connecticut colonies
were going to attack him. His town
north Of the fort was unprotected. and
he threw up @ wooden wall from the
East to the North river. 1t was built
OF logs that were used as palisades
with the upper end spiked.
Stuyvesant's information was cor
rect because Connecticut was very
anxious to go to war and had become
satisfied Indian outrages were being
instigated by the Dutch. There
was a meeting at Fairfield. near
Bridgeport, where men were pledged
for the attack OF the Dutch. ,Massa-
chusetts held off, and the next year
Holland and England made peace.
But the old wooden wall stood for a
half century and cramped the growth
Of the town. There was a ditch along
side it. and at night the gate was
closed and bolted and guarded.

Two Men Killed at
Basketball Game

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 24.-Two men
are dead and one man and one wom-
an are wounded as a result of a gun
fight (which came at the end of a
game Of basketball game in Mize,
Smith county, Mississippi, this after
noon. II
According to the reports received
here, the dead are Warren Ashley,
35-year-Old citizen Of Mize, and Wal
ter Sullivan, 80 years old, a farmer
residing near Mize. The wounded
are Town Marshal Albert Lack and
Mrs. Warren Ashley, wife of one of
the dead men.
Ashley is said to have entered the
basketball court when the referee
called the game because Of an alter
cation over a point of play. Marshal
Lack had ordered that no one come
on the court and undertook to remove
Ashley, who drew his pistol and be-
gan firing at the officer. Lack re-
turned the fire with his pistol and
both men emptied their weapons.
Ashley died in three minutes, shot
through the head.
At the same moment Walter Sulli-
van was found dead nearly seventy
five yards away, having been killed
by stray shot from one of the re-
volvers. Lack received wounds in the
leg and side, which were not consid-
cred dangerous.
Mrs. Ashley was with her husband
and was wounded in the leg. None
of the killed or wounded were con-
cerned in the game except as specta-
tors, say the reports.
Ashley is reported to have been
drinking. It was said he was betting
on the game.
The game was played between the
team of the Smith County Agricul-
tural High School, located at Mize,
and the visitors from the Magee High
School. A squabble arose over
technicality which occurred while the

Cuher Retains Belt
and Championship


Joe Cutrer Of Kentwood success
fully defended his title Friday night
at the Armory against Stranger Her
man Of Chicago, in a wrestling bout
for the welterweight championship
Of the world. Cutrer threw Herman
with two straight falls in less than
an hour.
The champion won the first fall in
rs minutes and 40 seconds, with a
body hold and arm lock, and took the
second 33 minutes later with com
bination half-Nelson and head scis-
sors.
Cutrer weighed 100 pounds, while
Herman tipped the scales close to
165 pounds. The bout was fast and
full of action, the Greek proving
himself Cutrer's equal in knowledge
of the game, although not quite
strong enough to twist the champion
as he willed.
to wriggle out of the series of head
locks that the Greek seemed more
than proficient in using. The short
necked champion managed, with a
series of jerks, to get himself out of
several tight places through his abil-
ity to flop like a fish out of water
when he was no longer able to use his
head or hands.
Cyclone Scotty, Cutrer's trainer,
agreed to throw Young Morris inside
of 20 minutes, in the preliminary to
the match. Morris, announced as a
pupil of the famous Farmer Burns,
proved himself no mean disciple Of
the Farmers teaching, but under
training, assisted by the efforts Of
the cyclonic Scotty, were too much
for him. A body scissors and head
lock II minutes after the contest had
started, and Scotty made good his
agreement.
Carlyle Voss, formerly of the Tu-
lane Wrestling Team and A. A. U.
heavyweight champion, refereed both
contests.
One Of the largest crowds that
has ever attended an athletic show
in Bogalusa was present at the
match. A party of thirty or forty
ladies helped to swell the crowd.
The show was given under the aus
pices of the Bogalusa Lodge of Elks.
Exalted Ruler J. o. LIE Blanc and c..
L. Black are due no end of praise
for the masterful way in which they
handled all the details of the contest.
The match was clean sporting event
and aside for a little unpleasantness
just before the wrestling began, ev-
erything went off without hitch.
The success of the bout has en-
couraged the Elks to give similar
show in a Short time, and possibly
the lovers of fistania will have an OPP
pOrtunity to see a real glove battle
within the next few weeks.

Magee team was leading. This al
tersation caused the calling of the
game by the referee, but there was
no sign of violence among players or
officials of the game.
As the players and spectators, num-
bering nearly three hundred, were
leaving the court, Ashley resisted the
efforts of the marshal to keep him
off the court and drew his revolver
Judge Hughes of the Circuit Court of
Smith County was one Of the specta-
tors and seized Ashley in an effort
to disarm him, but was unable to pre-
vent him firing every bullet from his
revolver.

ACCRUED INTEREST.

The Fargo Courier News cites the statement OF
the condition Of the South Dakota Rural Credits
board as evidence that in criticizing the Frazier
Lemke-C athro management Of the Bank of North
Dakota for claiming credit for accrued interest or,
bonds, the Independent papers were barking up
the wrong tree. The South Dakota statement lists
among the assets Of the board accrued interest on
farm loans, that interest which would be collected
on outstanding loans were the loans to be paid at
the date of the statement.
The Bank Of North Dakota held in it's vaults
its own bonds which had not.yet been sold, and the
bank management treated the accrued interest on
those bonds as actual earnings Of the bank, and on.
this basis it figured for itself a handsome profit. We
recall that The Herald, at various times, expressed
curiosity as to why, if profit could be made by issu-
ing bonds and tucking them away in a pigeonhole
and %crediting ones self with the interest thereon,
the proper procedure would not be to issue more
bonds, without stint or limit, and out of the profit
resulting from the interest just roll in wealth.
But the Courier-News wants to know why &C
crued interest should be treated as an asset in South
Dakota and not in North Dakota. There is one
little item which has evidently escaped attention.
In the South Dakota statement appears a liability
of about half a million dollars worth of
accrued interest on bonds. In other words, the
South Dakota board has credited itself with accrued
interest on loans which it has actually made, and
itself with accrued interest on bonds out
standing, which is correct bookkeeping. The Bank
OF North Dakota credited itself accrued interest on
bonds in its vaults, and forgot that that identical
interest was also accruing against either the bank
or the people of North Dakota, out of whose pockets
it must come if the bank failed to make good. The
trouble with Mr.. Cathro's Bookkeeping is that it
itself only with assets and ignored liabil-
tiles.

BUILDING THE DAM.

There has been suggested one plan for the con-
%struction of a dam across the Red river below the
city where, whether feasible or not, has the merit
OF novelty, and which seems to- merit investigation.
This is that material to be found in the river bed be
used for the building Of the dam, and that the river
be made to do the work of carrying.
a lew miles up the river from Grand Forks are
several shadows and miniature rapids where gravel
and small boulders are visible at low water. If on
investigation, it is found that.at any of these places
loose material is present in sufficient quantity, it is
proposed that small scows,, or barges-as many>as
may be misunderstanding only a few inches of wa
ter, be built and towed, empty, up stream to the
site of the gravel, loaded by means of a. steam
shovel, and foated down to the location Of the dam.
There the gravel would be dumped into the stream
and the process would be repeated until a barrier of
sufficient size is built across the stream. IA small
gasoline power boat would tow theiempty scows up
for another load. aas.

OBJECTIONS TO SUBSIDY.

Aside from the general objection to the sub
sidizing of any industry two main objections to the
pending ship subsidy bill are offered.
One is that it is illogical and unbusiness-lik to
discourage foreign trade by the imposition of heavy
import duties, and then to undertake to repair the
damage by paying out money in subsidies to ships
engaged in the foreign trade. 1t is not true, as has so
often been alleged in defense of a high tariff, that
the foreigner pays the duty. Neither is it true as
is sometimes said by extreme low tariff advocates,
that the domestic consumer pays it all. The truth
lies between the two statements, and the apportion-
ment of the tariff cost proceeds along an irregular
line whose position is governed by the conditions
surrounding each industry. But the purpose of a
high tariff is to check the flow of imports, and that
is its effect. If we are to, send cargoes of goods
abroad we must bring >cargoes back. There is no
such thing as a one-sided trade except in a limited
way and for a short time.
The other objection referred to is that it is use
less to attempt by subsidies to our shipping to. in
crease our exports when those foreigners who are
normally our natural customers are unable to buy.
Ocean traffic languishes because the industrial state
of the world has become demoralized. We in this
country have large quantities of certain commodi-
ties to sell. The inhabitants of certain other coun-
tries are in great need of these commodities, but
they have neither money to pay for them nor goods
to exchange for them nor credit which may stand
temporarily in the place of either money or goods.
The substituting of vessels will not increase the pur-
chasing power of our customers. ~

There has been a tremendous hullaballoo over
the offering for sale of the assets of several of the
North Dakota banks which were closed some time
ago and which have since been in the hands of re-
ceivers. 1t has been a case of much cry and little
wool. The fact that the step taken was recon-
mended by officials some of whom are politically
aligned with the Independent group, and others of
whom are of the opposite faction disposes Of the
theory that the sale was proposed for any political
purposes.
A suspended bank is like a ship out of commits
sion. 1t is earning no revenues, but it is costing
money for maintenance, and there is likely to be
somebody must be put in charge to check up it's ac-
counts, collect what can be collected, and look after
its affairs generally, so that the interests of it's de-
positors and stockholders may be properly protect
cd. Naturally collections are made first on the best
of the paper. The rest drags. Some of the assets
consist merely of paper. Some are worth a certain
percentage of their face. There comes a time when
it does not pay to continue a receivership for the
purpose of making the small collections which ap-
pear possible. : In that case it is more advantageous
to the depositors and stockholders to clean up the
business, take the best price obtainable for the odds
and ends of assets left, and end the cost of mainte-
nance,
1t was the judgment of officials in charge of
that work, regardless of political utilization, that it
would be good policy to sell the remaining assets of
certain closed banks, provided a satisfactory price
could be obtained. Accordingly bids were invited
for these various bits of property. Again, in the
judgment of the officials, when the bids were re-
ceived, they were found to be unsatisfactory in all
but two or three cases. With those exceptions the
bids were rejected, and the receivers will continue
in charge until the prospects for sale appear better.
