farmer living two miles north of
the Holtville highway on the Dog
wood road.
The baby was crying and feverish
when brought back. Her knees
were cut and her feet bloody.

STATE BANKS CUT
INTEREST RATE
Reduce Rate From A to 3 Per
Cent on Saving Deposits
Effective January 1st
VOTE TAKEN AT MILFORD

The rate of interest to be paid
on savings deposits by the banks in
Kent and Sussex counties will be
at the rate Of per cent after Jan
uary 1, 1888 This rate was de-
cided upon by the bankers at a
meeting held in Community Hall,
Milford, last Friday. The reduc-
tion of the interest rate from per
cent to per cent has been under
discussion for the last two or three
years and it has been generally un-
derstood and expected that banks
would have to reduce the rate un-
less there was very decided
change in world conditions, where
by the income to be earned by
banks with Savings deposits could
be substantially increased. Bank
ing groups all over the country
have been reducing the interest yet
the bankers of Kent and Sussex
counties have ben somewhat reluc-
tant to make the change, hoping
for a betterment of conditions,
whereby il might not be necessary.
The bank depositor, the bankers
contend in their statement, is more
interested in having a sound bank
of deposit where he can feel per
fectly sure Of the safety of his de-
posit than he is in the amount Of
interest he receives.

The American Jungle

is not pleasant thing to think about, to write
about but the fact is that the appalling increase in
violent deaths in the United States is severe in
dictment of our supposed civilization.
The record for 1881 shows approximately $4,000
dead from automobile accidents, $4,000 burned to
DEATH and II 900 homcides. The homicide death rate
has doubled in the last 80 years. reaching 1913 per
100000 of population in 1881.
In the same year Canadas homicide rate was only
16, while London's O8 and Liverpools 0.5 In
other words population considered the United States
as whole had more than 13 times as many murders
last year London, and more than 81 times many
as Liverpool and nearly seven times as many as our
neighbor, Canada.
While remarkable progress has been made in the
reduction of the death rate from disease this has been
largely offset by the increase of deaths from external
violence, which claim total of than 100000
nuay.
Considering all the dangers which surround us, it
would that life is less secure on an American
city street than it would be in an Afrisan jungle.
