The Amphion Dramatic elub of the New Britain High school presented three well known short plays in the school auditorium last evening. The plays were well rendered by the asso- clation and much credit should bde given the director, Mrs. A. C. Guil- ford, who was responsible for the suc- cess. In view of the fact that the plays were worked up within fess time than two weeks special mention should be made of the fact. The first play of the evening was “Joint Owners In Spain. In this sketch four girls took the parts, the leading one, that of an old crabbed woman, being character- ized by Grace Brown The scene of the second act entitled “Swimmin’ Pools” was lald in Gris- wold's Dump. in this, when the cur- tain raised, three youths sat around a burning fire. State Director Ray- mond Smith gave the audience little “to be desired in the scenery and ef- fects of this play. His campfire was very realistic. Three characters who played up well were Paul Lucas, Dwight Latham and William Ruther- ford. The biggest suocess of the evening was “Neighbors.” The honors iIn this play were taken by Laura Nell as “Mis’ Diantha Abel” and Leroy Fleisher as “Peter.” FEilba Anderson and Margaret Foster were also good. Music for the evenlng was furnished by the High school orchestra wunder the direction of Miss liga Harvey. IMA—: ]'-OI FER BEATEN. George P.

GEORGE A.RUIGLEY — 287 MAI Surplus Every Nationa] Bank is required by law to st aside as a Surplus Fund at least 10 per cent the net earnings for each fiscal year until this Surplus Fund amounts to 20 per cent of the cap of the bank. This fund cannot be distributed to stockholders, but must be held to meet losses—a permani fixed guaranty fund for the protection of depositors. The Surplus of this Bank long ago reached the required 20 per cent, but sound business jug ment has prompted the direttors to go even further than this in providing depositors with the m mum of safety; for to this $100,000 required surplus they have added $210,000 more. They & also reserved over $150,000 in Undivided Profits which is set aside to take care of possible loss In our next advertisement we shall show how National Banks are examined. Cap .
