At Cony High School
On “Banking as a Vocation”
At the morning assembly of the

Thomas H. Bodge, assistant treas
urer of the State Trust Co., gave an
excellent talk on “Banking As A
Vocation.” This talk is in line with
the series being given in connection
with the vocational guidance work
which is being given in five high
schools of the county, under the di
rection of County Y. M. C. A. Secre
tary Thomas H. Leonard.
j In the course of his remarks, Mr.
: Bodge said that the history of bank
ing dated back to the first bank or
ganized in Italy in the year 1171,
: and which operated until 1707. This
! was the first bank in the worl^. The
j second was opened in Genoa in the
: year 1407 and was the first bank to
! issue transferable notes. They oper
; ated until Napoleon, the First swept
; down into Italy and ruined the busi
I ness of the country. The next bank
| was at Amsterdam, in 1600. The
j next, at Hamburg, in 1619, and is
i stiO going. The Bank of England
| was organized in 1604, in order to
| finance the government. The first
: bank in the United States was or
j ganized at Philadelphia in 1780, to
j meet the needs of the Continental
! army. This bank is also still oper
ating.
Mr. Bodge then took up the fea
tures of the “Banks’ Purposes,”
"Depositing of Money as a Basis of
Credit for Trade,” “Loans and Dis
counts” and “Moneys for Credit.”
He told of the great opportunities
offered by the big banking instltu
lions of the world for young men of
clean habits, trustworthy and ca
pable.

GIRLS’ CLUB NOTES
The executive committee ot' the Au
gusta Girls’ Community club met in
regular session, Thursday evening at
the club house. Matters to come be
fore the annual meeting which will
, take place next Friday evening were
brought up before the Thursday even- 1
ing meeting. The girls' clubs of Wa- I
terville, this city and Gardiner are!
making plans for a Maine league j
meeting to be held in May. At this
time it is the plan that the members 1
of the three clubs get together and
have a program. The Augusta girls
are very anxious to have the first
Maine league meeting and they are
already making plans towards it. If
the meeting is held in -May it will
mean that Miss Jean Hamilton, Na
tional League secretary, can be pres
ent, and have part in the program.
Those who have met Miss Hamilton
at the Massachusetts headquarters
say she is a most delightful woman
and they warrant that the Maine
girls will enjoy her visit very much.
The election of officers will take
place at the meeting of next. week.
The fact remains that just as much
as each girl puts into the club, just
that much she gets out of it and more
—never less. Iiut there are members
who are not taking the interest in
the club that they should'in order to
enjoy the club privileges. It means
tha^ every girl should get busy and
make herself known in club activities.
A few are not running the club—ev
ery girl has a share if she will as
sume it. The appropriation commit
tee will have something of interest to
report at the meeting.

“Deadwood Dick” English Born.
Richard Bullock, known as "Dead
wood Dick,” was born at Cornwall,
England, some eighty years ago. At the
age of twenty-one he came to America
ahd at length drifted to the West. For
a while he worked in the mines in the
Black Hiil country. At that time min
ers there were greatly discouraged and
vexed by the unusual activity of
bandits. Desperadoes operating indi
vidually and in groups were holding
up stages running between the mining
country and the settlements in the
East with such regularity that chances
of getting their gold shipments
through were slim.
Bullock saw in this situation an op
portunity to do the miners a good turn
and himself, too, to earn a good live
lihood and to enjoy no end of thrills
and adventures. So he laid away his i
pick and shovel, armed himself with a
wicked-looking gun and embarked in
the business of hunting “road agents."

j Brown, writing in Asia, “is a man with a
scholarly stoop to his shoulders. He wears
i a gray mustache, and a pair of gold-rim
med eye-glasses, which heighten the re
semblance to a benevolent college profes
sor. ’ And in the palace “where previous
1} reigned dark suspicion, insane fear and
hideous cruelty,” the visitor found an “at
mosphere of kindliness and serenity.”
