A western editor received the fol- 
lowing letter: Please send me a few 
copies of the paper which had the 
obituary and verses about the death 
of my ehild a week or so ago. Also 
publish the enclosed clipping about 
my niece’s marriage. And I wish 
you would mention in your local 
columns, if it don’t cost anything, 
that I have two calves to sell. Send 
me a couple of extra copies of the 
paper this week. As my subscrip-

SPLENDID PROGRESS BEING MADE TOWARD 
INSTITUTING A BANK IN MANCHESTER ~ 
Splendid progress is being made 
toward the institution of the Man- 
chester Trust Company, under which 
name Manchester’s first banking in- 
It was 
thought that the application for a 
charter could be made this week, but 
inasmuch as the laws require that a 
charter cannot be granted until the 
shares are definitely assigned, a 
temporary halt has been made in or- 
der to comply with this regulation. 
So much success has Mr. Mann 
met in getting subscribers to the 
stock of $100,000 in town that he is 
eoing ahead until he raises at least 
$51,000 or more here, so that the con- 
trolling power in the institution will 
be held by Manchester people. 
The bank is to be a Manchester 
institution through and through, and 
the inference that has gained ground 
in some quarters that it is to be con- 
trolled by outside interests is wrong. 
If Manchester people want to sub- 
scribe the entire $100,000 there is 
nothing to prevent them from so do- 
ing. In fact the situation is this in 
A Weekly Visitor from Other Side 
of the Continent. 
We are pleased to add to our Ex- 
change list this week the ‘‘Cheney 
Post’’, of Cheney, Wash. We have 
been receiving the Post for several 
weeks, and have been attracted by 
its clean cut make-up, its .bright, 
snappy news, and its general up-to- 
date appearance, bespeaking the 
prosperity and growth of the town 
and locality in which it is published. 
Little did we surmise it was being 
published by a former Manchester 
hoy. The weekly appearance of this 
welcome visitor from the other side 
of the continent prompted us to write 
a letter to the editor to see if the 
paper was being sent by some enter- 
prising Board of Trade with the ob- 
ject of advertising our new state, 
or perchance by someone whom we 
knew. A reply was promptly forth- 
coming stating that the Post had 
been started a few weeks previous 
by the writer of the letter—Joseph 
E. Griffin, best known to everyone 
in Manchester and along the North 
Shore as ‘‘Joe’’ Griffin, and that he 
wished we would wake up and get 
the Breeze on the Exchange list so 
that he eould find out what is go-

brief: 
italization after Manchester people 
have subscribed what they want. At 
first it was thought $20,000 was B 
nearer the amount the Manchester — 
people would put into the scheme, 
but this has already been practical- 
ly doubled, and Mr. Mann is now 
working for the $51,000 mark, as 
stated above, so as to give Manches- 
ter people the controlling interest. 
Nothing definite can yet be said 
as to where or when the bank will 
locate. The First Meeting has not 
yet been held, so that nothing of a 
definite nature can be said. One 4 
thing is assured—Manchester will 
have a bank before next summer, 
that will have three departments,— 
Commercial, Savings, and Trust. 
Mr. Mann would be pleased to call — 
on anyone desiring to subscribe to 
any number of shares of stock. He 
may be reached almost every day by 
telephoning the Manchester House 
between 12 and 1. 
ing on in his old home. The Post 
is one of the brightest weeklies ar- 
riving at our desk at the present 
time. We judge from various re- 
ferences which we have seen in it 
that there are two other papers in 
the town, but we venture to say 
that if ‘‘Joe’’ keeps up the gait 
which he has started and gives the 
people of Cheney the same standard 
of paper he has during the last 
month, he will come out on top. 
Cheney is one of the fast growing 
towns of that northwestern state 
and we note by the motto on the 
‘*Post’’ that 1t¢ is Seem 
Town’’, ‘‘The School Town’’, ‘‘The 
Town You Like to Live in.’’ Here’s 
our best wishes for success and pros- 
perity in your new field of labor, 
Brother Griffin!

popular with the small boy; but a 
well-laden doughnut tree would give 
him greater joy.

desert the table so long as there is 
any dessert in sight.
