lations OF transactions for future de.
livery on the cotton exchanges and
boards of trade in the United States
to prices Of cotton and grain. The
committee would hold hearings in
New York, New OrieGns, Chicago
and Washington.
Heflin said the cotton exchanges
and the Chicago Board Of Trade. "in
order to more effectually insure the
domination OF prices and control of
the market for such necessities,
kept a record Of every transaction,
but refused TO permit continuous quo
tations OF prices to be disclosed to the
public. except under circumstances
as to be OF little value"
Heflin also charged entry into con-
tracts for the delivery TO and trans

Harry V. Haynes, secretary Of the
association, last night issued a varia-
ton on the theme, staccato-fortis.

"A general desire was expressed on
the part of the banks to adopt such
hours as would afford the best bank.
Ing facilities to the general public
under the new order. Chairman
Mckee reviewed the efforts which
had been made by leading bankers to
bring about the enactment of a law
Tor the District of Columbia under
which no question OF legal banking
hours could arise. Because OF the
inability to report favorably upon
what the efforts of these bankers
would bring forth, and also because
of the chaos which might be occa-
stoned by a change OF hours on the
part Of the banks without more
notice to the public, resolution was
adopted under which the banks will
retain the present hours Of opening
and closing.
"It therefore follows that the hour
for making exchanges at the clearing
house will remain as before-namely,
10 a. M"
1t is expected, however, that further
action may be taken later to fix the
time for making exchanges on Satur'
days at an hour more convenient to
the banks because of the early closing
Of the Treasury on that day.

The Methodist Choir gave very
pleasing rendition Of the musical
comedy 'The Tale Of a Hat at the
Gem Theatre Monday evening to
a large and appreciative audience.
The hard rain during the day no.

from the country, but at that the
theatre was filled, only very few
seats being vacant.
The stage settings and costumes
were we'll slected and the various
characters were well protrayed. 1t

an ordinary small town, the many
ridiculous and laughable situations
were we'll carried out by those who
took part. The solos and chorus

it left nothing to be desired on the
part of the audience.

OBITUARY

1T is with keen sorrow that we
are called upon to note the pass
ing of Mrs H. f. Walden.
Mabel Esther Hooker was born
in Bridgewater, S. D, on May Is,
1890 and died in Minneapolis, May
II, 1922. at the age Of thirty one
years, eleven months and twenty
two days. The early years of her
life were spent in several Of the
smaller towns of Nebraska and
South Dakota, the family later
moving to Sioux City, Iowa. where
Mabel was employed by the T. S.
Martin department store as mil
liner, and where she was loved by
all her associates. In the winter of
1910 she came to Philip to care for
her invalid mother, residing at the
home of NJ Pruden. her grand
father, south of town.
On September 7th. 1911 she was
marrier to H. f. Walden, son Of
E. F. Walden of this city. They
remained in Philip until after the
birth of their first baby when they
moved to Sioux City, Iowa, and
later to the Twin Cities, where the
years of her life were spent.
In every community where they
lived she made a host of friends,
not only for her happy, cheerful
manner in spite Of much physical
suffering, but for her truly won
derful sympathy and fellow feel
ing for all mankind and her ever
ready willingness to serve.
Her whole life spelled service, a
kind cheerful service, never shirk-
ing, complaining very little.
About two weeks ago she sud
denly was taken i'll and an mined
late operation was deemed exped-
lent to save her life. But although
seemingly recovering from the eff
fects at first, complications set
in and on Wednesday, May 18th,
the lovely spirit left it's body.
The funeral was held in Mime
apolis, where her church affilia-
tons were. The family joined the
NJ E. Church at Richfeld, SUI
burb Of Minneapolis, but the body
was later brought to Philip and
buried beside her mother, Mrs.
Hooker and her grandmother, Mrs.
Pruden.
Mabel came from a line of wo-
men of beautiful, loving natures,
who loved much and served well.
We mourn her death, but her short
life has not been in vain if those
Of us who are left can have learn
ed from her life the great lesson
taught by our Master. He who
would be greatest among you let
him be as one who serves"

tives are the husband, H E. Wal
