Should Apply at Once.

- Individuals and associations wishing fish for stocking waters this spring should apply at once bhoth to the state conservation department and to the United States Bureau of Fisheries according to George N. Mannfeld superintendent of the fish and game division. Files close April 1 in the Indiana department for registering stock fish applications. It iy very essential that those wishing pike perch stock fish apply to the federa]l government as Indiana will not likely be able to supply this species this year owing to failure to obtain the eggs from Michigan. As the fish is not populous in our waters the ezgs are each year secured from Michigan or other states and then artifically progated at the state hatch eries. - - ;

(Corn Borer Coming.

The European corn borer is slowly moving westward from Ohio, but it does not occur at this time in Indiana. Its ncarest point of contact is some 35 miles east of Angola. ‘The conference developed the fact that while this caterpillar has been prevalent in parts of Ohio since 1920 so far it has not caused commercial damage, and its destruction to Indiana corn is probably far off. Entomologists are agreed that the best method for fighting this insect is to get rid of the corn stuble not later than April 1 tha was left in the fields from the preceding corn har: vest. They recommend this by eithen burning discing or shredding up and plowing under. g :

SUGGESS IN AMERICA AN OPEN HIGHWAY

How Four Boys of Humble Origin - Have Become Chiefs of the Greatest Financial Organization in the World.

Broad highways of achievement are wide open to all in America no matter how humble their beginning, it is brought out by a writer in Forbes Magazine, telling of the successive elevation of poor boys to the chieftainship of the most powerful association of financial power in the world. “Nowhere is opportunity so demoecratic as in caste-free America, nowhere is recognition for faithful service so little conditioned by inherited position and wealth,” the article says. “The bounty of America in bestowing her rewards of great success upon those of modest origin is again notably manifest in the rise of Oscar Wells to the presidency of the American Bankers Association. *The son of a tanner, John H. Puelicher, was elected to this eminence in 1922. Circumstances ended his public schooling in the seventh year and he went to work in a carpet store in Milwaukee. At sixteen he entered a bank as a clerk, rising step by step until he became president. Recognition cf his abilities as a banker and civic service through public education in sound economic understanding brought him the highest reward from his profession. o “A former country school teacher, Walter W. Head, born in a farm hamlet in Western Illinois, was elected president of the association in 1923. He gave up teaching and a salary of $75 to enter banking at $4O a month in a small Missouri town. He subsequently became president of a bank in Omaha, the largest in Nebraska and a dozen neighboring states. The position he occupied in advancing, agricultural welfare during the period of depression led to his‘®being called the ‘Granger President of the American Bankers Association. “From Irish immigrant lad to supreme head of banking in America epitomizes the career of William E. Knox, president of one of the largest savings banks of the country in New York. His business career began as an office boy in a publishing house, and he later entered the bank as a clerk. Experience with humble people in their problems of personal finance and his inculcation of economy in all matters attracted country-wide attention. ! “Oscar Wells, who rises in 1925 as successor of these men, was 'born in an old weather-boarded log cabin house in the Missouri River bottoms of Platte County, Missouri. He became an orphan when three years of age, losing his parents in an epidemic that ravaged the countryside. He passed under the care of an uncle, head of a small country bank in Platte City, a town of a few hundred inhabitants, growing up on a farm and receiving his early education in a rural school He later entered Bethany College, West Virginia, but at the end of his jundor year he had to quit college and go to work in the bank.” His subsequent career was one of steady progress, first to higher positions among small country banks, then to larger city banks in Texas, where he rose to the top. In 1914 he was chosen first governor of the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank and served through the opening period of the establishment of that institution. He resigned to become president of a bank in Birmingham, Alabama, which has grown under his administration to be one of the largest and most successful institutions in the South.

HUGE GROWTH IN SCHOOL SAVINGS

New York.—School savings in the United States for the year 1924-1925 increased in aggregate bank balancns by $5,500,000, with a growth of 630,000 in the total number of pupils partieipating, it is shown in reports made to the American Bankers Association, which declares that the returns encourage belief in tke permanence of school savings as a part of the educational program in the public sehools. During the year the number of reporting school savings systems increased from 683 in 742 districts to 780 in 1,557 distriets, the number of schools from 9,080 to 10,163, the number of pupils participating from 2,236, 326 to 2,869,497, the deposits from $14,991,5635.40 to $16,961,560.72 and the bank balances from $20,435144.64 to $25,913,431.15, says W. E. Albig, in charge of the Association’s savings activities. . Since 1920, the first year for which comprehensive statistics are available, the number of schools having school savings banking has increased 271.4 per cent, the enroliment in school savings districts 278.9 per cent, participants 520.2 per cent, deposits 506.1 per cent and bank balances 516.8 per cent. - i S 52

THE LIGONIER BANNER, LIGONIER, INDIANA.

Sultan Evidentiy Had, ’ - Well, Just a Little! Mulaj Hafid, sultan of Morocco, was a born gambler. While he was still sultan the French resident-general in Moroceo gave a party in his honor and, knowing -the monarch’s passion for gambling, organized a baccarat game. While Mulai Hafid was winnipg, a British newspaper man named Loris, who was losing, said: “You do wrong to take that morwey. . It's against the teachings of the Koran.” That so worried the sultan that he was on the point of giving back his winnings, when he saw nearby the ¥rench chiet justice, a recognized authority on Mussgulman law. “Tell me,” said the sultan, “whether it is against the Koran to take this money.” The justice remained silent a moment before replying. “Your majesty, if you have played a straight gzime, yvou c¢annot touch® this money because it 1s mere hazard that made you win and it is forbidden by the Koran to take advantage of hazard. ‘But if you—how shall I say?—forced your luck—l mean, cheated a little—you may put the money in your pocket because you won it by your skill and cleverness.” The sultan smiled. “Thou art the greatest and most learned judge I have ever met,” and he pocketed the money. . 1 :

Apple Tree Honored by Canadian Farmers A monument in honor of an apple tree stands in Dundas county, in Canada. It is made of marble and stands on or near the spot where the original Meclntosh apple tree grew. ; It is nearly 130 years since John Melntosh emigrated from Scolland to Canada and settled in Matilda township. That was the day of the pioneer, and “honest John” had to clear his own land, In this process he is said to have come across a number of apple trees, which .he spared. One of these produced a bright-colored apple which he called the “Mclntosh Red,” and it soon became famous. His son, Allan Mclntosh, propagated it, so that now it is grown in many parts of ‘the North American, continent. C v - The original tree was injured by fire in 1896, but it continued to bear its bright red fruit until 1908, when it failed entirely. To mark their appreciation of a tree that had been So profitable to them, the farmers of the country raised a wonument to it.

The same kind of tea leaves can be used for the manufacture of either green or black tea, the difference of the two feas lying merely in the process of curing. Yet, some varieties of tea leaves are better adapted than others tor making certain kinds of tea. In producing green tea the leaves sre sterilized by steam. This prevents oxidizing or fermentation of the leaf, which retains its green c¢olor, and when boiling water is poured over it the result is the green -or greenish~yellow liquid. In manufacturing black tea the leaf is allowed to ferment, which changes its color fronr green to very dark brown. In the case of oolong, a semi-fermented tea, the fermentation is allowed to reach a certain desired point. - ’ .

Mar’s Lot of Trouble If man had) been created without beard he would have saved quite a bit of trouble, time and expense, says an English writer. The ear to ear measure on the average man’s face is 12% inches, and from where his beard starts on his throat to his chin and hence to the upper lip is 4%% inches. This area must be shaved every day, if a man wishes to be spruce and clean... P In shaving, two strokes are made for every inch, so that every day he goes over about 68 inches of space. . In a year this amounts to 24.820 inches and in a lifetime 1t totals 20 miles. . . If a man takes five minutes daily to shave himself, at seventy he will have spent a total of 75 days In shaving, says the writer. , -

An Italian soldier, who was declared dead during the war, but Insists that he is very much alive, is having an embarrassing time. He has married since, and the government insists upon paying his “widow” his pension. He has also received a nice medal reciting his good deeds and the battle in which he died. His name stands engraved upon a monument to “our hero dead.” In fact, the war department refuses to concede that he is still alive. He is now making the government testify against itself, because the scurvy income tax collector not only believes he is alive, but insists upon making the usual collections in the usual harsh way.—Los Angeles Times.
