subject, as the committee is desirous of having a full understanding of the attitude of our members before our convention meets.
“The Denver convention will thus be of the greatest importance to the savings banks of the country, and I would respectfully, but firmly and insistently, urge our member banks to each send a delegate to represent them so that a frill and fair discussion may take place and a decided expression of opinion be arrived
Beautiful New Book from Page’s
The fine gold and enamel cover of “Arts and Crafts in the Middle Ages” serves only as a truthful index of what may be found within this latest work of Julia de Wolf Addison. There are four hundred pages of deeply interesting matter illustrated lavishly in colors —the only way Middle Age products can be illustrated. The book is the result of deep study into mediaeval workmanship, in the departments of applied art, together with some account of the artisans themselves. Miss Addison has ־written many works on kindred subjects and has scarcely an equal in her chosen field. L. C. Page & Co., of Boston, are famous for their beautiful books upon art, travel and research, and each new one issued finds an increased number of waiting readers. The book is handsome enough for gift purposes and covers the subjects of gold and silver work, jewelry and precious stones, enamel, metals, tapestry, embroideries, sculpture in stone, carving in wood and ivory, inlay and mosaic, illumination of books, with bibliography and index. It sells for $3.00 net.
The Farmers National
Recently the La Rue Deposit Bank and the Farmers National of Hodgenville, Ky., were consolidated under the title of the last named institution. The new bank will have capital $60,000 and surplus $8,ooo. William Miller, formerly president of the La Rue County Deposit Bank is president; T. H. Harned, formerly president of the Farmers National, and R. E. McDowell, vice-president of the La Rue County Deposit Bank, are vice-presidents; J. H. Stark, formerly cashier of the Farmers National, is cashier, and R. L. Wright, assistant cashier.
Savings Bank Section
Secretary William Hanhart of the savings bank section of the American Bankers Association issues the following:
“The annual convention of the Savings Bank Section of the American Bankers Association will take place in Denver on Monday, the 28th of September next, the meeting being called for 10 a. m. sharp, at Brown’s Palace Hotel.
“You will notice that the date is one day earlier than that usually set apart for our convention. This was decided upon at the meeting of the executive committee which took place in May last at Lakewood, New Jersey, following a resolution adopted at the last convention, requesting that a date be set for our next convention that would not conflict with the meeting of the Trust Company Section, as many of our members belong to both sections. It has therefore been decided that the meeting of the Savings Bank Section will take place on Monday of the convention week and the Trust Company Section meeting on Tuesday; the general convention taking place on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, as usual.
“I hope that our members will take particular note of this so as to arrive at Denver in full time to attend our meeting. Our members will thus be enabled to attend the Trust Company meeting, where, of course, we shall all be welcome. We may also say that all members of the Trust Company Section will be very welcome to join in our deliberations.
“The official programs of our convention will be forwarded to you shortly. We mention that but few papers will be read, as the matter of Postal Savings Bank legislation overshadows at present all other matters pertaining to Savings Banks. The committee on Postal Savings legislation has been very actively at work and will report to the convention. Debate is invited from every member of the section, as we consider that it will be necessary for our organization to take some action in the matter, in view of the proposed action of Congress at its next session. The chairman of the committee will welcome an expression of your opinion on this important
Missouri Proceedings for 1908 Out
The first book covering the proceedings of a state bankers association convention for 1908 has just come to hand. Those who are familiar with the different state secretaries will immediately know that the book referred to is the proceedings of the Eighteenth Annual Convention of the Missouri Bankers Association, held at Joplin, May 20th and 21st, for Secretary W. F. Keyser, of Sedalia, is a tireless worker and does not let the grass grow under his feet. The book is nicely bound, and will make a handsome book for any library. The volume not only contains the proceedings of the convention, but also the constitution and by-laws, a list of the officers, members of the association, and resolutions. The map of Missouri showing the group plan is a real help to those interested in the Missouri group system.
Treasury Appointments
U. S. Treasurer Treat has made these recommendations to Secretary Cortelyou: Gideon C. Bantz, deputy assistant treasurer, to be assistant treasurer of the United States, vice J. F. Meline deceased; William H. Gibson to be deputy assistant treasurer, and James A. Sample to be assistant cashier United States Treasury.
All of these officials are old employees of the Treasurer’s office and are in the line of promotion under civil service.
There have been some rumors that some outside men from the New York subtreasury office would be brought to Washington to fill these places, but Treasurer Treat thinks that the rumors are not well founded. The very nature of the positions requires technical knowledge that can only be obtained by long service in the office.
