Annual Event
OF Game League

The Lyons Fish & Game League
held their sixth annual game ban
quet at Lyons church last evening,
there being about lbs members
present. Theer was no occasion
for anyone to go home without
plenty of game. The total num-
Der of rabbits and squirrels were
nearly one hundred and everyone
agrees this the best lot of game
brought in, since the organization
of the club. Much credit is due
the committee and also the ladies
who had charge of the cooking.
All seem to feel that this was the
greatest of all game suppers. At
ter partaking of all the repast, the
club was entertained at the George
Core home where dancing and card
playing was enjoyed until midnight
All report a splendid time and are

Madison, Wis.-Births in Wiscon-

The birth rate by counties in

Wood county held the second high
est rating-271. More counties
show a birth rate of 20 or more per

Of the eompany's remark able growth.
President Uzal 81. McCarter said:
what ne have gained in new ma
irons, in ybosits and in resonrces--our
resourc y have increased over $17, 900.
600 intne year just closed-have been
due in no way to the waving of any
magic wand. Our gains are more or less
directly due to our wise and progress
sive management and to our particu-
Iarly satisfactory service In all our
Departmental banking, trust, savings,
safe deposit, foreign and investment.
It has taken good many years to find
out Just exactly what the public wants
in the way OF banking and trust service
and now that we know their precise
requirements we endeavor in every
possible way to give them, so far as is
consistent with sound banking princi-
plies, just what they want and just whom
they want il. It is all pone in q cordial
spirit OF true helpfulnesE. About it
there Is nothing perfunctory. From the
TOP to the bottom OF Our Organization
the customers interests come first. That
fact Is recognized and appreciated by
our patrons, and they accordingly bring
not only their own business to us, but
send their friends and their own cus-
toners here. One result OF that we
keep on growing, and l confess with
considerable pride that the end OF
our growth is not yet in sight. The
outlook for the institution was never
more promising"
Speaking Of general business, Mr
McCarter said that all signs and con-
ditions now point to good year
ahead and that he was of the opin-
ion that the country may look forward
with confidence to q period of pros
perity. With renewed faith, he said,
this confidence has been steadily der,
veloping and with it business has ex-
panded with increasing speed. The
tendency in money rates, he said, IL
toward greater firmness.
