Faribault Mimi, May M.-The second annual
meeting Of the third district group of the Mime
sofa Bankers association was held here yester-.
day, the delegates being the guests of the Cit.
zens' National bank and the Security State
bank.
The subject Of the first paper read at the af-
ternoon session was Bank Examinations and Re.
ceiyerships," by Lyman D. Baird, receiver Of the
First National bank Of Faribault. To the di-
vision of his subject relating the receiverships
he gave but small attention, merely enumerating
some of the duties official acting in his ca
pac1ty has to discharge. He had more to say,
however, about bank examinations
In his opinion the present system of paying
the examiners by fees is not calculated to pro-
duce the best results. The office Of bank exam
liner should, he said, be salaried one. To exam
Inc properly a bank with $500, 900 deposits will
tax at least two days. 1t Is not enough for
the examiner to count the cash and see that the
books balance. 1t is even more important that
he should carefully scrutinize the paper which
represents its loans and discounts He should
as far as possible assure himself that the sigma
lures on notes are those of responsible persons.
Mr.. Baird advocated the establishment of
system of insurance for the benefit of depositors
Fifty cents on the $1,000 Of deposits would cover
all losses by bank failures in the past forty
years. On this basis bank having $500, 900 de-
posts would be required to pay $3.50 annually,
which is small in comparison to the benefits re-

The fifth annual fair at Lamar
will be held August 30, 81 and Sept
l, as is more fully shown in another
place in this paper. 1t will be
rare threat to Hamilton county peo-
pie to attend this fsir held by our
adjoining county onthe west. They
have much to show us, not alone of
the possibilities, but in the actual
things achieved and accomplished in
the extensive irrigated districts of
Prowers county. Possibly we may
also learn some lessons from the con-
fidence, enterprise, public spirited
ness and local patriotism and pride
the people of Lamar have in their
beautiful town, their fertile county
and their glorious state.
The Lamar fair will show you that
just ACROSS the threshold of the ne
elected southwestern Kansas lies the
most fertile and productive part of
agricultural Colorado, and that in
saying this there is possible chance
for an implied disparsging compar-
ison between the richest agricultural
section of Kansas and the irrigated
portions of Prowers county. Kan
sas as 3 state will always lead a
dozen states like Colorado in wheat
corn and hogs, but the Arkansas val
10y IN Colorado has during the last
fifteen years set . pace in agricultur-
al development that is phenomenal.
A million acres of Arkansas valley
land has rizen in value from a mere
nominal price to from $50 to $500
per acre, and land which fifteen
years ago furnished grazing for only
q few cattle, last year produced more
than half . million dollars worth of
sugar beets and more than two mil
lions of dollars worth of other crops.
All this has been going on just
across the imaginary line dividing
southwestern Kansas from southeast
ern Colorado.
By all means take day off and
20 to Lamar during the fair. You
will be surprised, entertained, edu-
GATED and delighted just as the writ
er hereof was two years sgo.-Syrs-

II. A. Pettee sold his butcher shop
yesterday to j. N. Leslie, of Grana-
da.
1. N. Compton, real estate man
from Belle Plaine, Iowa, was here
Friday and Saturday, accompanied
by Willard kirkpatrick, of the same
place, who was looking for location.
After looking over the fine country,
under the Amity canal Mr.. Kirkpat-
rick concluded that it beat Iowa by
big odds and before leaving he
bought an improved forty acre farm
near Sunnyside.
Work on F. w. Montgomery's new
feed mill and grain elevator is pro-
crossing and will soon be ready for
the machinery. This is one of the
best constructed buildings IN Holly,
being Of good stone, we'll put up
with cement floor and everything
that enters into its construction is of
the most substantial nature. The
building and equipment will cost a
large sum but Mr.. Montgomery be-
lieves that it pays to do such things
right.
The business men Of Holly are
doing pretty we'll just now, thank
You. Last Saturday was payday at
the factory and the pay roll amount
cd to $4,000. With that amount OF
money distributed among its citizens
monthly Holly should be a pretty
good town to do q cash business in.
And that is what it is, as all our
business men testify. But just wait
till the farmers pay day comes,
when the Holly Sugar company will
disburse to the beet growers some
$4,000 per month. Then the farm
er will begin to do business and
everybody will be happy. Then We
will begin to realize what big thing
q sugar factory is for town.

that line here as our people "got

Great rivalry and some prevarlca-
ton has been indulged in by several
towns as to who shipped the first
crate of cantaloupes, but the honor
seems to be due to Las Animas, and
certain it is that they shipped the
first car lot.
The Fort Lyon directors met last
week at Las Animas and approPri-
sted $4,000 for development work
on the seepage reservoirs north OF
Lamar.
Good Roads conventions met in
La Junta and Las Animas the past
week and much enthusiasm was ex-
hibited in the good work. Nothing
can advance community more
rapidly or give it better name than
having its roads in fine condition.
Prowers county is fortunate in hsv
ing a board OF county commissioners
who fully appreciate the Importance
of this branch of the county business
and are endeavoring to do more
permanent work on our roads than
has ever been attempted here before
Great preparations are being made
by the Bent County Fair Associa
ton for their coming fair on Sept
27-29. The premium list is now in
the hands of the printer.
The prospects look very favorable
for a sugar factory at Garden City
the coming year.
La Junta is to have a fine city
park, the result Of the public spirit
shown by some Of her citizens and

of city or to the pleasure of its cit
