WALTON'S COTTAGE RAZED BY FLAMES 0d Home at Shallowlord, Eng- land, Lost to World ‘Washington, D. C., July 6.—Fish. ermen will be saddened to learn that | Izaak Walton's thatched. half- timbered cottage at Shallowford, Staffordshire, has been destroyed byl fire. ‘\England has lost one of her best beloved, literary landmarks and fish- crmen the home of the art's most | famous exponent, with the destruc- tion of Walton’s country home,” says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C. headquarters of the National Geographic society. As 8t. Andrews, Scotland, is the mecca for golfers and Btratford- upon-Avon the shrine of Brama lov- ers, #o Shallowford haa been the place of pilgrimage for fishermen,” continues the bulletin. “Stafford- shire unrolling its green, cultivated | hills and valleys midway between smoky Birmingham and busy Liver- pool, was the birthplace of Walton and the scene of those fishing ex- peditions wherein he angled and caught, with the same hook, | trout and many paragraphs we still ac- claim. Some Famous Fishing Places “Northwest, a few miles from the Shallowford cottage lies Madeley, | country seat of John Offley, Esquire, to whom Walton dedicated the ‘Com- pleat Angler’ in appreciation for permission to fish on Offley’s estate. Northeast ripples the Dove through Dovedale, a green carpeted, English | sort of canyon, where Walton fished with that young rake Charles Cot- ton, who added to the Angler’ the sections on fly-fishing. Near Beresford at the upper end of the Dale stands the famous fishing houss bulit by the impecunious, creditor-ridden Cotton for the use of ‘father Walton' and himself. othing could be in greater con- trast to an American sportsman’s fshing camp than Cotton's fishing house on the Dove. The latter pre- sents the appearance 'of a rather large, private mausoleum. Its walls | are cut stone. Flanking the arched, stone doorway, two windows admit light to the fishing house through | diamond figured, leaded glass panes. Within, the single room measures 15 feet square. Black and white marble squares pave its floor. A black mar- ble.topped table occupied the center of the room and at one time painted panels of scenes on the Dove, and of Cotton and Walton in dress of the time, ornamented the walls. Amid classic magnificence the only human note can be found on the fireplace where the initials 'C. C., LW.," record the famous friendship. Over the doorway on the outside runs the in- scription’ ‘Piscatoribus Sacrum.’ Mixed Fishing and Philosophy “Walton did not take his fishing straight. He mixed trout with a kindly philosophy and poetry. The ‘Angler’'s Song’ tells why he thinks fishing is superior to all other sports: Of recreation there is none So free as fishing is alone; All other pastimes do no less Than mind and body both possess: My hand alone my work can do, So I can fish and study too” “The most famous fisherman of them all was so unprofessional as to let his pole and line fish unattended REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF THE NEW BRITAIN NATIONAL BANK 1134 Reserve District No. 1, Repart of the condition of the New Brit- ain National Bank at New Britain in the atate’ of Conncetieut, at the close of busl- mess on June 30, 1927.

Industrial conditions are not quite as favorable as in preceeding months, but a disposition on the part of factories to maintain their personnel with shorter hours, rather | than dropping men and continuing regular working schedules has as-)| sisted the department in meeting the calls for aid, Doyle reports. The in. creased number of petitions for help over those of the period of 1926 is little more than no- ticeable, the from his records.

Electric Light and Power Public | Utility financing during the half year amounted to $792,700,000 against $725,800,000 for the first half of 1026, Electric World reports.

Of the reduction of 6,397 tons in the daily average, merchant fur- naces accounted for only Il tona. | As the steel trade enters upon the second half of the year, thers are indications of some, improvément in business and a broader effort to pro- dueers to hold at least the present margin between prices and costs. Both of the Iron Age composite prices remain unchanged from last week, pig iron at $18.71 a ton and finished steel at 2.367 cents a pound. Net earnings of the Pullman Com- pany for the first five monthe this year were $3,400,751 after taxes, against $2,837,212 in the same per- jod last year.

Sps ulative interests who had been op- posing the rise on the belief that the businesd outlook was too crowded to justify a sustained advance, beat a precipitate retreat as purchasing orders began to roll in from all sec- tions of the country.
