OWNERS OF JASPER CO. BANKS

And the Cash Value of Share's As Given In for Taxation. The Democrat presents herewith a list *of owners of the five banks in Jasper county, together with the amount of stock held by each and the value of each share, as given in for taxation March 1, 1917. Except in the case of the Trust & Savings bank, which has undergone a reorganization since the above time, increasing its capital stock and adding a number of new stockholders, the list is virtually correct today. The true cash value of the stock off the Trust & Savings bank was given at $249 per share and in the reorganization, it is understood, the stockholders surrendered their old stock and were issued approximately two and onehalf times the amount in the new organization. x The stockholders all reside in Jasper county except as otherwise noted.

January either made a license or j reached a condition. This is the i one case that stands alone indicating that the state department is 'either easing on the grading or ' that the examination was not so difficult. The applicant who occupied seat number 13 and also got number 13 as a manuscript number to state made a license without a condition. The first eighth grade examination will be held over the county on the third Saturday in March. Each ' township trustee will provide a I place for the examination in his | particular township. Joseph Salrih of Walker township will hold his examiinatioln at Walker Center. Elwood Davis of Kankakee will hold his at Tefft. Albert Keene of Wheatfield will hold his at Wheatfield. Clifford Fairchild of .Keener will hold his at Demotte. Joseph Salrin dropped into the county superintendent’s office last Monday. Mr. Salrin reports that Mrs. .Salrin has been very sick but is improving rapidly since the win-

ter weather has released its grip. Albert Keene of Wheatfield came into the office last Tuesday. He will take; the insurance from his new Kersey school building, which was destroyed by -fire last winter and erect another just like the burned one. 7, ■ " There are a number of the rural schools in the county teaching on Saturdays. The town schools at Tefft are now running on Saturdays. The Wheatfield schools began several weeks ago. Mabel Worland substituted for Mrs. Petty at Fair Oaks last Friday. Miss Rosabelle Daugherty has been doing this work this week. Mrs. Petty has been very sick but she is improving very rapidly. The Remington schools have requested application blanks preparatory to joining the J ".in io r Red Cross.
