Judge Fox started his twenty-first year on the bench of the Wayne circuit .vui i uy mamnK some ivew Years resolutions. When he started calling the docket for the January term this morning he made public these resolutions to the members of the local bar and asked them to see that he stuck to them. "Hereafter, If attorneys do not show uo in the court room when I announce that the docket will be called, I will either grant the opposing attorney a default, close the Issues or dismiss the case for lack of prosecution," was number one. "The jury must meet exactly at the time it is called or jurymen who are late will suffer," was another. "All pleadings must be filed in dulplcate and the original complaints must not be removed from file." was the third. Hastens Court Activity. All of these rules were laid down In an effort to prevent lawyers from allowing cases to be drawn out over long periods of time and to get the machinery of the court Into order at the first of the year so that all business can be transacted in a definite and dignified order.

LABOR FOR FARMS PRESENTS GRAVE ISSUE, EVEN FREE TENANT HOMES FAIL TO ATTRACT

"Wayne county farmers are facing an acute labor shortage next summer," Ivan T. Beck, Wayne township agricultural advisor reported today. "Higher money wages paid by city industries are attracting men from the farm. Farmers are paying good wages In addition to board. WThen all is considered a farm hand in reality gets better pay than the majority of city workmen but because all tne compensation does not come in the form of money, the work seemingly does not aopeal to men." Mr. Beck said at present there seems to be no possible means of relieving the situation. Fall Back on Machines. If the prosperous times continue, farmers will probably have to Install more labor saving machinery: This machinery has advanced in price by rapid bounds. These things cut down to a certain extent the large profits made by farmers during the past year on increased prices. It has been estimated that farm hands will during the busy seasons next year receive at least $30 a month In addition to board, room and wash ing. Farm experts say tnat tnis is ail i farmers can afford to pay. Only a few years ago, farm hands could be secured for $20 a month ana boara and room. Want ad columns of local papers have carried advertisements for farm hands almost every week during the winter! months. George W. Wagner, near Milton, reDorted today that farmers in that part of the county are greatly agitated over ; the situation. The common experience ; is for farm hands to leave without I warning for other Jobs which pay. more money but where the men must stand increased costs of board and room. In an effort to interest married men In farm work, many farmers are build-1 ing tenant houses on their farms and giving their help free garden, space. Mr. Wagner reports that even this is

j in recent years was the opening on New Year's day, of the attractive banking rooms of the First National Bank in their new three-story structure, replacing the old building at the corner of Main and Green streets, erected some time in the "early forties." The new building, of dark brown brick, 50 by 100 feet, has been erected and finished at a cost of more than $30,000. It is thoroughly modern ; in structure, arrangement and equipment. On the first floor, west side, are the office, directors' room, ladies' rest room and closets for wraps and miscellaneous articles. On the east side is a large and well arranged business room. The second and third stories contain six flats, a physician's room, beside rest rooms, etc. Walls Finished In Brown The office floor is laid in tile of neat design. The walls are brown, with Tiffany finish, with wainscot in white, imitation of tile. The woodwork of the office, directors' room and ladies' rest room is of quarter-sawed oak, as . is the furniture. A modem drinking fountain is placed just inside the entrance to the office. The vault is furnished with Victor equipment, safety-deposit boxes, safe and cases for filing papers and documents, all of the most approved and convenient type. The directors' room has walls In green with Tiffany finish, while the walls of the iadies' rest room are in cream. Nothing, seemingly, has been omitted that could in any manner contribute to the comfort and convenience of patrons or officials. All day long Monday tlte officers of the bank and their assistants courteously entertained the citizens of Cambridge City and vicinity and the numerous visitors from the neighboring towns and cities. Each guest was presented with a white or pink carnation, apples and souvenirs, a steel rule and a magic whistle. The occasion was enlivened by Victrola music.

Large and attractive bouquets of American Beauty roses, poinsettas, etc., came from the Corn Exchange, Chicago, the Fletchers Savings & Trust company, American National MINOR LEAGUE HEADS REGISTER COMPLAINTS CINCINNATI, O., Jan. 2. Seldom, if ever, have as many minor league magnates gathered at the annual meeting of the National Baseball Commission as are in town today to present grievances and requests to the supreme court of baseball. While the club presidents of the international league and the American association made up a large part of this assemblage, yet numerous other minor league club owners and managers put in an appearance early and prepared to stay late. The special meeting of the club owners of the class AA organizations is expected to convene about ten o'clock, although this may be delayed until an hour later owing to the expected arrival of quite a few of the International League men on an early morning train today. The commission itself is supposed to meet at 10 a. m., according to its regular custom, but it is believed that it will not meet officially until after some progress has been made in the meeting of the class AA magnates. Experiments that will cover three years are being made in Siberia to de termine whether sugar beets can grown there profitably. be not going to attract men from present appearances.

It has usually been the custom for commissioners to appoint a turnkey from recommendations of the sheriff.
