thau yesterday approved the King bill,

to all savings banks, and similar insti-
tutions in this city. to put them on a
par with new national banks. so that
new bank stock offered by them would
be non-aSsessable. Under present law
new national bank stock is non-asses-

indicated, however that should the
King bill fail OF enactment for any rea-
son, the bank centering around the
Washington Mechanics Savings Bank

It is very fortunate for agriculture that her two national organizations are working shoulder to shoulder in looking after agriculture's inter- ests.
 Since the production and mar keting problems of agriculture are national in character 1t is pretty evident that local and state organ izations can not function on these matters. Furthermore, even the best of state programs can be ut

was not to be written, that 1t had been called off after seven arspli- cations had been sent in, that an- other one was to be held, but no official notice of it had yet been received.
 Complication after complication was too much, and MT Dwyer be- gan to shake his head mournfully. when no word about a new exami- nation papers which the letter said were on the way if he had no can- didates? What was 1t all about anyway?
 He spent some moments in silent meditation, but still there was no solution, and he mourned the fate which makes life so hard on civil service secretaries. He took the letter in his hand again, and in picking up the envelope found an- other sheet enclosed. This must be the answer to the puzzle, he thought, and tore 1t out as rapidly as only a harassed civil service secretary can do.
 There 1t was, too. The examina- tion would be held in Waterbury, and the papers were OH the way, but 1t would be for vacant post masterships in Woodbury, Wash ington, Falls Village, New Preston and Norfolk, all third class offices. Came a sigh of relief from MT Dwyer and a restoration of the Waterbury postmastership situa- ton to the same tangle that 1t was in yesterday.
 So now all is well, except no one can possibly predict what will happen next as 0 local postmaster is concerned. There has been one called, but 1t was cancelled the day after applications for 1t had been closed. There is to be an- other examination, says Senator Lonergan, but no one knows whether 1t will be based on the applications already submitted or will require new ones. Then, be- sides, no official word has been received from Washington about a further examination.
 You figure 1t out. MT Dwyer and your reporter gave it up and went to the more sensible problem of deciding how high was up.

Trial of the $10,000 civil action of William O'Connor of this city against Thomas Delaney, also of Waterbury, was started before Judge John A. Cornell in the su- perior court today. O'Connor, an ex-service man, claims permanent injuries as result of being hit by the defendants car, near River street on Baldwin street last July 5th.
 The plaintiff testified he was crossing from the east to the west side about o'clock in the evening when he was struck by the de- fendant's car which approached from southerly direction.
 He suffered a comminuted frac- ture of the pelvic bone and severe bruises of the legs and arms, the complaint says. Attorney Maurice
