THE LOIS HAKE ( lOVilNGED Little of This Year's Crop Marketed , Which Accounts for Depletion of Cash In Banks. The abstract of the condition of Ne braska state banks on November 10 , when the lust call was Issued , shows , aconllng to the .statement given out by Secretary S. S. Royso of the bank ing hoard , that deposits have mater ially fallen elf as compared with one year ago and loans have advanced almost UK much. This conditions Mr. Uoyse docs not consider alarming , as he points out that ciop have not been moving , farmers waiting for bet ter prices , and this circumstance would alone , In lil.s estimation , ac count for the decreased deposits and the increased loans. The compilation of the reports Indi cates that in ( ititi state banks there tire 230,007 depositors , and that the average reserve is 24 per cent. This last Is an Important item. The state banking law requires that the cash reserve be maintained at 15 per cent at least. Of the total cash reserve In the banks , more than three-fourths of It is in the hands of eastern cor respondents so that the actual cash on hand In the state bank valuta is only u little more than ( ! per cent. This Is not an unusual condition. "Secretary Roysc's summary of his analysis of the conditions In the banks of the state is us follows : "This report compared with the one of a year ago showja that 'loans have Increased $ l,98l,21fl.2i ( and de- positn have decreased $1,5:52,0 : H.)4 ! ) , and compared with the report of Aug ust 25. 1010 , loans have Increased $2,115,4S3.7fi and deposits have de creased $3,187,401.70. While the In crease of loanrf and decline in de posits are a little more pronounced than usual at this season of the year , on the whole , under existing condi tions , the report Is all that could be expected. "It Is a known filet that very little of this year's crop has been placed on the market and advices from the banks Indicate that no inconsiderable portion of the 1900 crop still remains unsold. I am of the opinion that thin fully explains the Increase of I < vxns and .decrease of deposits shown. "Another factor that has materially increased the loans and which also 1ms an effect upon the deposits Is an unusual amount of stock feeding that is being done in this state. All these influences operating easily explains the heavy demand apparent. " Be"ct Acre of Corn.

Two famous grandmothers are dl& tlnguished visitors of this country. Re ferring to these talented ladles The Rochester Post Express says : "One o } the grandmothers is Mmo. Sarah Berni hardt ; the other is Ellen Terry. Both , actresses have reached an ago when if is permissible to retire from actlv < { life ; but the French actress Is said to be as energetic as n woman half net ago , while Ellen Terry is declared to bo as young as ever she was in tho. palmy days when she and Henry Irv ing ruled the theatrical world of Eng land. Miss Terry has retired from the stage so far as acting is concerned , nnd has taken to lecturing on Shakes peare's heroines. And who could do better than she who has played so many of the womanly women of the great dramatist ?

" Doeo Your Cat Cough ? Poor pussy ! As If the Immemorial charges against her of keeping us awake o' nights and of eating canary birds whenever she gets the chance were not enough , the doctors have just dlscoveredthat for years she baa been responsible for the spread of diphthetria. Dr. G. J. Awburn of Manchester , England , having traced an epidemic of this disease In a sub urb of that city to a pet cat belonging to one of his patients , has found , after much clever investigation , that all cats are peculiarly susceptible t < ? diphtheritic affections of the throat. Ho has therefore recently been warn ing nil families who own cats to / watch them carefully , and , If they de ( velop coughs , to forbid their being hugged and petted. Dr. Awburn further - ther recommends that if the cough perlslsts nnd the cat begins to grow thin to have the animal destroyed at once. The only really snfo way , ho says , Is to let the first wheeze bo pussy's' death warrant. The great pleasure of llfo is love ; the greatest treasure is contentment ; the greatest possession is health ; the greatest ease Is sloop , and the great est medicine a true friend. Templo.
