throughout the country become
normal; and to this end we pledge
our hearty cooperation and sup
port"
There is nothing alarming in
the situation confronting the
people of this county or state.
The temporary arrangement as
above has been caused in the plan
first by the money troubles in
New York.
In order to prevent similar troub
les in other large cities of the
country, the banks took an action,
of which the action by the county
banks is similar, This is done to
safeguard every banker. every
business man. every deposition, in
fact every thing in general.
When the large city banks took
this action. it prevented the
country banks, who. carry their
reserve in the city banks, from
drawing this reserve. The action
taken simply means placing the
entire business of the community
on a checking and draft basis.
which it now is on to the extent
of about 80 per cent. There is no
cause for alarm. and IN a few days
matters will right themselves in
1.-THE east, and all will be we'll.

and MesSrS +. r. and r. H. Moses
of the Citizens bank. After
some discussion, of the situation
existing and It's cause, the follow
ing resolution was presented and
unanimously adopted
"Whoraas, the extreme financial
stringency in the east has compel
led the large banks of our western
cities, as a matter Of self Drotec-
tion and in order to retain an
o adequate supply of gold and
currency in the west, to refuse to
pay out gold or currency until the
conditions become easier; and,
Whereas, it thus becomes i'm
possible for our local banks to
obtain shipments of gold and
currency, and in order to maintain
a supply sufficient to meet home
demands it's important that they
take radical action to prevent the
supply of gold and currency now
on hand from leaving the CON-
munity.
Now, Therefore, Be it resolved,
by the Great Bend Commercial
Club and by the business men
generally of the city of Great

now hereby express their full
confidence in the banks of Great

their answering faith in the

said banks, and in the honesty
and integrity of our BANK officials
without exception, and their
pride in the fact that our banks
are better and stronger than ever
before; and
Be it further resolved. That We
cordially endorse and applaud the
action of our banks il

Northcutt decided TO cut the fence to
allow the drift accumulated on the
wires to float down the creek Mr..
Northcutt claimed that so much drift
had accumulated that the creek was
over running his land.
When Mr.. Thornburg~ learned of
what his neighbor had done he entered
a remonstrance with him. Heated
words followed and then Mr.. Thorn
burg struck Mr.. Northcutt an upper

he struck. but Northcutt claims that
he hit him three times in the face

A PAPER OF PINS.

Pins were introduced in the six
teenth century.
Then they were costly and highly
priced as gifts.
A paper Of pins was more acceptable
than bouquet.
An act was passed in 1913 making IT
Illegal to charge more than eightpence
a thousand for metal pins.
Persons of quality often used pins
made of lockwood, bone and silver
while the poor put up with wooden
skewers.
In those day husbands were often
surprised at the great amount OF mon.
ey that went for pins; hence the term
pin money"
Not so many years ago the frugal
American housewife was wont to teach
pin economy by teaching her children
that canny couplet. See a pin and

favorably.
The following morning the remains
OF the cat were made into n package
and securely tied. 1t was a lovely day
and the ferryboat was crowded with
passengers, and what had seemed 80
simple at home assumed unexpected
difficulties in the face of curious
crowd, ready to imagine anything and
to put the worst construction on an ap-
parently mysterious action.
Finally it occurred to the father that
the best time would be the evening.
and he could slip the cat overheard

behind him. who thrust into his hand

When he reached his house he threw
