INTERVIEW WITH MIR. F. H. HEAD

Cashier Frank II. Head, of the Merchants and Planters bank. and Cashier Nicholas B. Sligh, of the Citi- zens bank, of this city, have returned from Helena, where they attended an annual meeting of the Arkansas State Bankers association The bankers were royalty treated by the people of Helena during the session and at the conclusion of the meeting were given an excursion to Memphis on the steam CT Kate Adams.
 The bankers of this state have in augurated new scheme for self-pro lection against crooks and sharpers and the system which has been adopted has worked 50 admirably that the state is almost immune from even attempts of bogus check pro ducers, forgers and the like. and the longer the scheme is in operation the more successful it proves.
 Briefly stated, according to ex-Pres-
 
 fund laid aside annually for the ar rest, tracing and prosecution of that character of criminals who makes the banks their prey. He says that it was adopted by the association in 1896. and that 1t has worked like a charm ever since.
 "Our system has been so perfected /" said Mir Head, that within a few hours after even an attempt at crimi- member of the association, every member in the state will have notice and whenever it is necessary we have the money to employ detectives, coun. sel or bear any of the expenses incl. dent to the prosecution of such ras. calls. l don't know of another banking asSoclatlon in the Union which has such a tu i'd, but it certainly has been great protection to us and I believe that as soon as the bankers not now members of our association in Arkan- saS appreciate what we are doing that they will all come in
 This has been the most important and best attended meeting that we have ever held, but for that matter in terest Tn the association has been in creasing for several years and dc not think it will be long before all the flnanciers of the state will realize that their greatest proteetion will come from cooperation unaer one OF ganiZed head"
 The bankers will meet at Little Rock next year. In the constitution Little Rock is named as the annual meeting place, and the meeting at He lena was a special meeting
