Charity Ball A Fine Success Friday Night The Charity ball, given in the gymnasium Friday evening by the Tri Kappa sorority, was < ne of the most brilliant dances given in Greencastle in many years, and it was likewise the largest dance that has been given in the city, there being more than two hundred couples on the floor during the evening. Numerous gifts, donated by the merchants were given away during the evening. They went to the best dancers in all the classes, and as Greencastle and DePauw University has some fancy dancers, the competition for the prizes was f|uite keen. The gymnasium was well decorated for the dance, spring flowers and palms being used effectively and many balloons were released from the ceiling during the evening which added to the gaiety of the occasion. ++++++ To Attend Fillmore Alumni Banquet , Mr. and Mrs. Walter Newlin and daughter, of Casey, 111., are week-end guests of Mrs. Ida Pierce and Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Seller.

GENERAL BUSINESS CONDITIONS From the Monthly Bunk Letter for April Uaued by The National City Bank of N«w York
'm* AINTENANCE of abnorjlVl m*lly high money rate* in the United States, in th* opinion of The National City Bank of New York a* »et forth in it* i monthly review of economic coudiI dition*. reflect* the strata under which the banking system i* put because of the large demand for credit for secured loans, together with seasonal requirement* for commercial and agricultural purpose* now arising. Nevertheless th* bank finds no evidence th»t the firm rate* have affected the general bnstne** situation. ‘The course of butinesa during the past month,” the bank declare*, ’’lias been maintained at a high level of activity and sentiment continuer optimistic. Manufacturing plants in most of the major industries are operating at near capacity. Retail trade in seasonable merchandise is brisk and employment is large and increasing Reports coming in from different sections of the country are almost unanimous in their testimony of good business conditions." With reference to the crisis in the stock market in the last week of March when the call loan rate rose to twenty per cent, the review
notes that prompt action by New York City bank* aerved to avert any fears uf a money panic. "The National City Bank fuUy recognises the dangers of ovsrtpeculation,’’ the review continue*, "and endorses the desire of the Federal Reserve authorities to restrain excessive credit expansion for thia purpose. At the same time, the bank business generally, and, it may be assumed, the Federal Reserve banks, whose policies over the past year have been marked by moderation, wish to avoid a general collapse of the securities market such as would have a disastrous effect on business." With this crisis, the bank believe* that the people of the country would be fenerally well advised to bear in mind the condition of the credit structure and voluntarily see to it that in their loan accounts they maintain wider margins. In discussing the rediscount rstes and the desirability of maintaining a closer relation between these and open market rates, the bank saya: "While it is true thst few if any banks today are borrowing from the Federal Reserve for purposes of sup portion speculation an adranoe

Thia would hive the effect of increasing the proportion of savings represented in the holdings of securities, which ie the thing to be desired. "To the objection that an advenes Of the rate would make borrowing mare costly for legitimate bnsmesa, attract funds from abroad, and disrupt the exchsnges, the answer is thst the call rate, not the hank rate, is king today, and the call rata ia doing these things already. Unless s higher bank rats should result simply hi rceetablishiag the current differential on higher level, them seems no valid reason why it should bs looked upon with apprehension. J

of the nation (v. 2). The king took counsel with the princes and the congregation to show that the proclamation was the expression of the nation’s desire. 2. The time wns unusual (vv. 2-4). There wns not sufficient time to sanctify the people, nor to gather them together at the regular time, so they resolved Instead of postponing It for a year to hold it on the fourteenth day of the second month. This liberty had been granted before In an exigency (Num. 9:6-13). 3. The scope of the Invitation (vv.
5-9).
It Included all of both nations who would come to keep the Passover to the Lord God of Israel. ‘‘Israel” is now used to include both kingdoms. The effort was Intended to win back the nation which had seceded. The messengers were authorized to supplement the proclamation with urgent exhortation to restore a united nation. This urgent Invitation was tactfully put ns follows: (1) It tonclied ancestral memories— “Turn again unto tlie Lord God of Abraham, Isaaic and Israel” (v. 6). (2) Recalled 1 , bitter experience—“Be not like your (fathers and brethren, who trespnssed'agalnst the Lord God, and were given up to desolation, as ye see” (v 7). (3) Aroused yearning for captive kinsfolk—’•Your brethren and children shall find compassion before their captors” (v 9). (4) Stirred Instinct of self-preserva-tion—“So that theC shall come again unto this land” (v. 9). (5) Pledged forgiveness (v. 9). 4. Israel’s reception of the Invitation (vv. 10-12). This Invitation In Israel met with a mingled reception. (1) Some mocked. The urgent and sincere invitation only excited opposition and ridicule. (2) Some with humble hearts came to Jerusalem. In Judah. God gave them one heart to accept the summons to unite In the Lord aronnd the great Passover. II. The Passover Kept (vv. 13-27). 1. Altars removed (vv. 13, 14). In the time of Alutz (28:24) these heathen altars were erected in Jerusalem. Before there could be worship of the true God all traces of idolatry must be removed. This voluntary act of (he people showed a right spirit. 2. The Passover killed (v. 15). The zeal of the people wns shown In their going forward with tlte service, though the priests were not ready for their
task.
3. The priests and Levltes ashamed (vv. 15-20). The zeal of the people put to shame the priests and Levltes, stimulating them to perform their duties according to the law ns given by Moses. The Levltes then took charge of the killing of the Passover. Though many of the people were ceremonially unprepared to take part In the most sacred service, they were accepted ns worshipers through the Intercession of Hezekiah. God accepted the purpose of heart rather than the letter of the
law.
4. The praise of glad hearts (vv.
21, 22).
They continued seven days with gladness: (1) The Levltes and priests sang God’s praise dally with loud instruments (v. 21); (2) Hezekiah spoke comforting words to the Levltes (v. 22). He commended them and their teaching of the knowledge of God. (3) They made confession of their sins to God (v. 22). 5. The Passover prolonged seveu days (vv. 23-27). The king's object In prolonging the feast was to make as lasting an Impression as possible, so ns to result In the thorough conversion of their souls
to God.
FARMERS TRADE WIVES; NOW IN TROUBLE LINCOLN, Nib., April 13 (UP)— Two Rennet, Neb., farmers learned today that the formality of divorce is a legal preiequi.-ito to the trading of wives. On complaint of "strange going on” registered by neighbors, county authorities arrested Otto Slade, 31, and Horace Reed, 29, who admitted they had traded wives by mutual consent ten days ago. The wives, Mrs. Zola Slade and Mrs. Martha Reed, each the mother of two children, were detained by juvenile officers. Mrs. Slade asserted her husband advanced the proposition of exchanging wives by telling her he did not love her, and that he was attracted by Mrs. Reed. After a conference of the four persons concerned the “trade” was effected March 31.
