THEY SHOW GOOD SENSE The bankers of Adams county showed their god sense in meeting together and reaching the common ground as indicated in their resolution, which is printed elsewhere. The resolution indicates nothing more than that they intend to protect their banks and that means their depositors, their own business and the general business of the community. Every individual is interested in keeping its banks high and dry above suspicion. The only: way to do it, is to do it. The banks are conservative, well managed and have ample resources, and would come j from under any depression whole, sound and all right. There is no i cause for alarm in the present flurry ! and scarcity of currency. It will be I over before you have time to think ■ about it. In the meantime the banks, j the business men. the Commercial. Club the propertv owners, the farmers and every one else should unite 1 in not permitting any panicky stricken I individual to withdraw a dollar from i the banks and from circulation. |

TOOK IN BOSTON Miss Nora Smith Wrtes an Interesting Letter to the Home Folks. HOW DAY WAS SPENT In Viewing the Sights in One of America’s Most Historical Cities. Wellesley. Mass., Oct. 17. It is now 4:45, not at Smith Ranch, you’re only 3:45. We have crossed the line that marks the hours of standard time. Faye in her Sunday letter promised you that rd write a description of the Saturday jaurX Beg pardon, it was Monday, not Saturday. In the morning rain threatened, but that wasn't to frighten us out. Faye had to go into Boston for a lesson at 9. I w’ent with her. joining the others at Huntington avenue sta tion at 9:40. Then the day began. First we went through ’The Public Gardens” and “Bos’oti Commons’’ on our way to the new state house. In spite of the adjective “new" Paul Revere laid the cornerstone of the original building in 1795. It tas a beautiful rotunda filled with portraits of Massachusetts governors. Right above j this is the “golden dome." Out of the I rotunda we went into “Memorial Hall.” , I In four glass encased alcoves are the I torn, stained battleflags of the civil 1 war. I read the marvelously worded i sentences wifliin.. Tears welled up i Such a memory is our inheritance, I The hall is beautiful with six different! kinds of Italian marble. Great marble pillars support a round enclosing gallery. This is to give an idea. The' I pillars are 13 feet high and cost S2.S(W' each. Above the gallery on the four | ! sides are significant pictures: “The I Landing of the Pilgrims.” “Eliot ‘ , Preaching to the Indians." “The Fight lat North Bridge” “Lexington and Concord.” “The Return of the Flags' Ito the State House.” Those we saw below. I We went into tne room of the house ‘ iof representatives. It has a high wain-' i scot of whi e nwhogany. A white' | mahogany table in the senate room

of which he had a peep cost |l.W.‘ The walla are exquisite In embossed leather. Thea up a flight for a peep intot he governor's council chamber, stopping on the way to admire and wonder at Mrs. Lovewell’a treasure a great portrait of Lincoln How rich we are with our eyes. We even then would carry us, climbe-’. 119 tteps and were In the golden dome, with Boston before us. To the east lay the old “North Church,” with its tower sacred to one if by land and two if by sea. Across the bay was the beach where Paul Revere “turned and patted his horse’s side" to the left stood "Bunker Hill” monument, an obelisk clear. disrincL Over all the great city the October sunshine lay, for the Boston breeze had played havoc with the clouds of the morning. I went down the steps trying to outdo Faye in elocution by reciting the snatches I remembered of the poem of my childhood Longfellow’s “Paul Revere's Ride.” I wished to catch a snapshot from the dome, but alsa, rich folks had been there before us. Too many diamonds had made tracery on the window panes. x Then we went to the Little “Old State House" where independence was born. On the front are still found the Lion and the Vnicorn of the British seal for the building was erected in 1713. It is filled with all sorts of old relics of historical interest, of the Hancocks. Adams. (I’ll have to trace my family) Franklins, all the riches of antitiquity. I’m going prowling over sometime for we're loaded with lunch that w e are to eat on Revere Beach. Now for the first ride on the Atlantic. We crossed Boston Bay in a ferry, the waves weren’t high enough I want to get out on the bigb road sea. • Continued oa Page 4.)

affair was executed as planned and was a complete and most agreeable surprise to Mr and Mrs. Durkins.

Frank Mayers, George Randenbush and Ed Rumschlag and Misses Agnes Omlor. Mary Myers and Lizzie Johnson. o HELD A MEETING (Continued from page 1-) Bank of Wren. J. L. Moser. Pres. Willshire Bank Co., by Joseph Bowen, Vice Pres. The F. and M. State bank. S. E. Hurless, Cashier. People’s State bank. Rudolph Schug, Cashier. Monroe State bank, by W. S. Smith. Pres. The above resolution need frighten no bank depositor. It means nothing more than it says. Every bank whose signature is attached to that resolution has large deposits with its bankers in Chicago, Indianapolis. New York and even Fort Wayna Not a cent of these deposits can be withdrawn by any of the above banks, for the simple reason that thos° banks can get no currency on their own accounts in New York. The present insufficiency of currency with which

to transact business of the country, I arises largely by the great and numerous improvments being made, by the Increased price of products and the over purchase and speculation of prop erty, thereby taking out of the regular channels of trade, large sums of money. This will soon be returned and go through the banks as usual and we believe with as much freedom as at any time within the last two or three years. In the present condition of the business of the country. w« see no occasion for any disturbance. other than the ordinary and temporary inconvenience of waiting ten or fifteen days. We believe by that time the public confidence will be restored and, all the gold and paper money withdrawn from circulation and locked up by its owners in safetydeposit valuts, will find its way back into the regular channels of trade, everybody will be happy and business will move on as usual. The Democrat has many times spoke In terms of praise and commendation of the solidity and good business management that has characterized the banks of our county, and especially the two banks of this i city. It is a greater pleasure now to speak of them as such, and to reiterate again their entire solvency. It i is the duty of our people to deposit • their currency with them, and to in- ; sist that no depositor withdraw from the banks and circulation a single ’ dollar. There is no sentiment in this request. It is simply good common i sense and business judgment.
