After 1905 the flag of the colonies had
Is stars and as many stripes until 1915
when the stripes We're reduced to IL
again, with as many stars as states.
In 1871 Vermont was admitted into
the union, the name Vermont being
word OF French derivation, meaning
green mountain The state Of Mis-
sissippi was admitted into the union
in 1917. Illinois in 1918 and Alabama in
1919. In 1920 the district of Maine.
long attached to Massachusetts, though
separated from lit geographically, was
admitted as an independent state.
William Henry Harrison, ninth pres
ident of the United States, was born i'll
Charles City county, Va, in 1878. His
father was Benjamin Harrison, gov
ernor of Virginia. He was educated at
Hampden-Sidney college. He entered
the army as ensign in 1891, and was aid
de-camp to Gen. Wayne in his campaign

Present quotations OF Cotton are low,
regarded by experts as being near cost OF
production; hence the preference of some,
perhaps many, to hold rather than sell
ing at present prices.
Being assured OF this fact by CORES
pondence reaching me daily, 1 take this
method OF giving notice to the public,
and especially those who have addressed
me, that am prepared to advance Cash
or Groceries, or both, on all Cotton that
may be shipped me with request to hold;
will take pleasure in liquidatins matur-
ing obligations OF planters or merchants
in the interior that may be payable at
Shreveport, or by exchange on New York,
st. Louis or New Orleans. Or cash may
be drawn on drafts attached to bills OF
lading covering cotton.
My charges are reasonable, and storing
facilities unsurpassed, and the lowest ey-
listing rate OF insurance in Shreveport is
secured.
Will be pleased to further correspond
with shippers OF Cotton, either for sale
on arrival, or for storage for an indefinite

NEED OF SAVINGS BANKS.
A Bank Cashier Tells Why the Gov
ernment Should Establish Inen.

G.. w. Twining, cashier OF the
First Nrtional Bank OF Monroe,
Wis, has written an article on
postal savings banks which IS at
tracing some attention. Mr..
Twining says:
ga savings bank pure and sim
pie is an institution that should be
found in every community. The
ideal way of organizing and man
aging pure savings bank would
be under private enterprise, with
a rigid and effective government
supervision. AS a private enter
prise each community would re-
ceive the benefits Of the circum-
stances under which it's situated.
Depositors, where rates are high
as we'll as safe, would receive
greater rate OF interest for their
savings than where rats we're low.
Under government scheme the
rates would necessarily be level
the United States over, probably
not to exceed 2 per cent. But the
fact that such an institution at this
time cannot be made to pay from
an investment point Of view de-
prives the citizens o the greater
part of the United States of it's
benefits.
SIN pure .:avings bank, where
the absolute safety of the deposit
tor is the main feature, the expense
of management must be reduced
to minimum, as the funds de-
posted cannot well be used with
entire safety at greater rate than
3 or per cent, and in many cases
less than this. Such institutions
must be anaged by a board OF
directors, the memb ers of which
donate their services, the eXecu-
tive officer or officers and clerks
being the only ones paid for their
work. II pure savings bank
cannot be made to pay as bust
ness investment, private capital
and brains will not be put into it.
and the result is thousands of men
women and children have nc
places to put their small savings
where they can T, ceive q re-
turn for them and as the same
time feel that their money is alb
solutety safe.
ss,The only solution seems to be
for the government to establish 6
postal savings bank under such
laws and rules and regulations as
will insure the safety of the funds
and sure, if small, return as in
terest to the depositor. The bene-
fit to the depositors in such a bank
cannot be overestimated. 1t would
educate them rapidly to a more
economical and thrifty manner OF
living; it would create an Interest
in government affairs; it would be
of great assistance in all lines o.
retail trade, where cash payments
are desirable, as people would
have more available cash to give
for necessaries and less incentive
to spend it frivolously and for lux
uries. The management of such g
bank should be absolutely apart
from politics, SO that confidence ir
it's management would not be
shaken by any political excite
