scores of local disputes, including the general strike in San Francisco.
 Government war on criminals was opened in earnest during the year under broad new powers granted by Congress. The solution of a number of major crimes and the arrest or death of many pub lie enemies" followed quickly.
 Deposit Insurance
 Bank failures reached a new low mark as the government estab- ished system of insuring deposits up to $2,000, which was extended to $5,000 at the middle of the year. Control over state banks, assumed by the Federal Government with the bank moratorium" of 1883, was returned to the states.
 Domestic problems drew the ad- ministration's attention away from international affairs, but the year was marked by epochal events in Pan-American relations. Marines were withdrawn from Haiti, Cuba became really independent, the Philippines were voted freedom un- dor terms acceptable to them.
 Other major governmental events of the year included:
 Restoration by Congress of bene-

the public debt passed the $27,- 000OO0,0OO figure, exceeding the wartime peak, and expenditures during the last half pointed to a big further increase.
 Most direct expenditures were in the public works program, by which it was hoped to revive the heavy goods industries. Other millions were advanced in loans to home owners, farmers. railroads, and in dustries generally.
 Relief expenditures averaged be- tween $1OO,OO0,000 and $15O,O00,O 900 a month throughout the year. For the first few months they went largely to maintaining the civil works administration, which aimed at employing anyone willing to work.
 This later was disbanded, and the money was poured out in direct relief to those establishing need.
 Drought Relief
 Hundreds of millions of dollars in addition were collected in pro- cessing taxes and paid to farmers for reducing surplus crops.
 Aided by the worst drought on record, the production of major crops was cut to the lowest figures for generation and farm prices rose accordingly to high levels.
 The drought necessitated further relief. While the government paid cash to buy food for humans, it also bought cattle and sheep by the thousands, either removing them to better grazing lands or slaughter ing them to make food for those on relief rolls.
 Throughout the year public at tention was centered on the NRA- first by the bitter criticism of mem- bers of Congress, then by the fault finding of the Darrow board of review, and finally by labor.
 Change in NRA Policy
 The climax came with the resig- nation of Hugh s. Johnson, as Ad- ministrator, September 25, followed quickly by the reorganization of the recovery unit under a board headed by S. Clay Williams.
 With change in form came the change in policy, Abandonment of price-fixing and production con- trol, begun earlier with the service trades, was extended. Efforts to get all industry under codes were lessened.
 Many Strikes Called
 Strikes and threats of strikes co mfr d the Administration throughout the year and many new boards were created to deal with them. Strikes in the steel and auto- mobile industries were averted. at least temporarily. by federal &C., tion, but costly strike in the tex tile industry lasted for weeks un- til President Roosevelt intervened.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.- Fed eral activities, extending deeper into the every day life of the na- tion than ever before, marked a new era in the development of a central government during 1884 -f Looking back, historians may re- cord the year as the period in which the government sought to purchase prosperity by the expen- allure of billions. or as the date of the first statutory change in the gold value of the dollar in 100 years.
 They also may remember it as marking the first nation-wid at tempt to insure bank deposits, for the end of the Platt amendment governing relations between Cuba and the United States, the original trial of compulsory crop reduction, or the reorganization and reshap- ing of NRA.
 Drive Against Criminals r Certainly they will not ignore the initiation of federal regulation of the stock exchanges, the govern 7 ment's campaign against criminals [ the new era of federal participation { in labor disputes, the inauguration of new tariff policy through the { negotiation of reciprocal tra d ( agreements, nor the new recogni- ton of silver as money.
 ' Beyond all of these precedent marking events, they may see in 1884 the beginning of some broad but as yet unrecognizable, move ment to the right by the new deal' administration under Presi- dent Roosevelt's leadership, marked by the promise of cooperation be- : tween the administration and busi- ness.
 Monetary Developments
 The monetary developments oi 1884 are likely to go down in his tory as of major importance. Early in the year Congress granted Presi- dent Roosevelt authority, which he immediately exercised, to devalue the gold dollar. He set the price oi Eold at s35 an ounce, thus cutting the dollars value in gold down tc 5906 cents.
 In the same law Congress gave title to all monetary gold to the United States treasury, instead o1 the Federal Reserve system
 This, however, did not satisfy the inflationary elements in Congress and before the session ended they passed silver purchase law, call ing upon the treasury to buy silver until the silver in the monetary stocks reached the ratio of 25 to 75 with gold.
 Millions In Loan
 Millions of dollars were commit ted by the government during the year in an effort to bring back prosperity and to care for the needy By the middle of the year

the Moro Castle ship disaster.
 A supreme court decision up- holding the constitutionality of the Minnesota debt moratorium law.
 Withdrawal of millions of acres of submarginal farm land from cul- tivation.
 Further development of the Ten nessee valley project.
 Creation of subsistence home steads.

Announcing q Charge on
 Checking Accounts
TO OUR DEPOSITORS:

TO OUR DEPOSITORS:
 complete study and careful analysis has revealed that checking accounts carrying an average balance of less than $10000 are being carried at actual loss. s ts> Clerical expense and cost of checks, pass books ledger supplies etc. have increased to such an extent that compelled in common with other banks to make this small charge for handling accounts where the balance maintained is small as to oc- casion an actual loss to us. charge of S1:O0 per month will be made where a minimum balance of $100.00 is not maintained. Effective January 1, 1885,
 In making this charge it is not the purpose of the banks to gain profit to drive the small depositor away but to prevent loss on a very great number of checking accounts

'DIZZY" DEAN TELLS
 "WHOPPERS ABOUT ELMER

Houston, Tex (UP)-"Dizzy" Dean, colorful St Louis Cardinal pitcher, has been telling some big "whoppers" to the scribes of the big cities and making them be- lieve, according to reports reaching here, where Dizzy" used to play ball several years ago.
 The latest is:
 Elmer, according to Dizzy, never had a baseball in his hand until last winter-and already Elmer has won seven and lost only one for Houston.
 Dizzy" it was said, even went so far as to predict that Elmer, who also is a brother of Paul, will be with the Cardinals taking a regular turn next fall.
 The truth is, according to Hous- ton ball fans, that Elmer Dean couldn't win in a Glass 2 league, and never has played in a Texas League game.
 Elmer is, however, the champion soda water and goober salesman at Buffalo Stadium here.

The channel catfish

this cat family lives in the faster moving waters and usually is found in the deeper riffles of the river.
 Unlike the yellow, blue, and bullhead varieties, it likes clean water. Eggs are laid in water where there is wash over them. and unless this wash can be found, mama channel cat raises no little ones.
 "Inasmuch as this cat is the game fish of this section of the country, the Kansas hatchery people early took to the idea of trying to fool it. Troughs were built so that the wash of water fiowes continually over the spawn with the various artificial stage settings in the trough necessary to deceive the fish properly.
 "These experiments have proved so successful at the state hatch cry, situated on the Ninnescah river cats that grow to such tre-. lings are released every fall in streams and small lakes of the state.
 "The channel cat. by the way. will not reproduce in a lake un-s less there is a channel of water coming into the lake in which it can place it's eggs.
 "The channel cat is a leaners hungrier looking catfish than the rive cats that grow to such tre- mendous sizes. They have been known to strike dies. although they usually revert to the cat- fish family in food likes and dis likes. When hooked, they often will fight like bass or trout" And that's what the state or Kansas thinks of the channel cat. a doughty warrior despite the plebeian status 1t holds in other communities.

Instead they saw something that looked like cricket Cricket is an English affair where they bat in two or three hundred runs an in- ming, and drink lemonade between bats. All the Tanks and Indians lacked was lemonade, but they could have had that because there were lemons all over the place.

 The Yankee pitching staff is now holding up like a three-legged horse. In eight games ten pitchers have been worked IS times. Senor Gomez the Yankee ace. has lost two games, Johnny Broaca. the Yale brain trugter, has also dropped two. and Johnny Murphy, the third of the three horsemen, has lost one.

Based on his tWo-year record, no pilot ever excelled Terry in this respect. Memphis Bill has been a Houdini in the handling of hurlers. In writing the story of the Giants rise from sixth place in 1892 to a National League pen- nant and world championship in 1893 and their persistency of 1884, one would have to list Terry's uncanny judgment in yanking bowlers as reason No. 1.
 A base on balls and a single for the opposition in a tight spot is rally to Terry.
 He simply ankles over to the bowler in the box, and says, You'd peter get the h. out of here before somebody gets killed"
 All the Same
 It makes no difference whether the chucker is the great Hubbell, young Schumacher, Fitzsimmons, Parmelee, the veteran Luque, or the recruit, Bowman.
 Out he goes!
 Terry jerked Hubbell in a late inning and at time when he en- joyed seven-run lead against the lOWly PnllS last season..
 "Why, in the name of A. c. Spalding did you use the hook on Carlos?" asked veteran base ball reporter, when the last shot had been fired.
 Terry's reply was classical. It would be well for wishy-washy hes itating managers to have it printed in 72 point ultra Bodini caps, and posted in the clubhouse.
 "The time to win ball game is when you have 1t won," replied the New York strategist.
 
 No other club in baseball today is managed quite as we'll as the Giants. It is the best trained outfit in the game.
 keep trying" Terry tells his athletes at the start of a campaign. Try not to make mistakes. Base- ball is like ping pong. If we stick in there long enough, the other side will kick one. Something will happen, and we'll win--and it does! Day in and day out, 1t does!'
 A Giant seldom does anything wrong. You never see a New York infielder throwing the ball In. to the dugout.
 Terry's admiration for MT. Graw as q baseball man was re ciprocated despite the fact tha they disliked each other person ally. McGraw always played tn gam ehard. Terw's apparent non chalance and love of money irket him.
 But the beloved John Us big ness and discernment agian wa illustrated when he unhesitntingl recommend the big baritone as hi successor. McGraw knew tha Terry, Q ball players ball player would be a ball players manager wherein lies the secret of Memphi Bill's success. He's for the ba player first, last and all the whil
 Classy
 With all his ability-George Sis Ter considers him the finest frs baseman in the sport-Terry is no fond of playing baseball. It strictly a business proposition witt him. He has a big executive com plex.
 An outstanding player at thu late age of 35, Terry is eager t' get out of uniform. He longs t order other people around il store clothes, like McGraw. Thi is not a new whim with him. Nc Graw had to plead with Memphi Bill to remain in the game whe1 the latter was on the verge O retiring some years ago.
 Terry has much ability outsid' of baseball. He is one of thu wealthiest of players, havinl profitable connections in oil, an' conducting a string of stations Il and around Memphis.
 That's the way it usually goes Those that have it don't care abou 1 1t.
