one may desire. It may be made in the

WHAT SHE WEARS

The Russian toque, brought into Paris
by a Russian woman of rank, is one of
the smartest things this winter. 1t is
made either Of velvet or fur. with four
inch brim resting on the full crown. a
toque Of the kind brought recently from
Paris is of dark green velvet bordered
with sable, and has a full tawny aigrette
az the side.
1t is no unusual thing for three or four
different kinds of feathers to enter into a
single ornament Some of the pretuest
bits are made OF chicken, duck and
coque feathers. The domestic goose pro-
vfdes some of the most useful plumage
for treatment. Another ornament is Of

est bill.-
 The proposals of the commission appointed by the American Bankers association come nearer a resolution of the problem than any other and ought to be tried
 Another financial panacea has been proposed by MT. Bryan, and like his free silver proposition it bids fair to deceive many, even of the elect, namely Government guarantee of all deposits of the national banks. . This folly can be presented in fully as attractive colors as any of the old i financial fallacies, and am somewhat alarmed by it. Bankers will, l sup pose, be charged with self interest in opposing 1t. I am utterly amazed to find MT. Fowler supporting it. l have seen many bank failures in the past , thirty years, but all that I have ever known have had one and the same cause. namely, the management mak. ing loans directly or indirectly to it. self. I have known incompetent bank. CTS make heavy losses by bad loans and lose their positions on that ac- count, but l have never known a bank to fail or get into a failing con dition where the officers had no per sonal interest in the loans. The fidiciary nature of the bankers call ing collecting as he does, the money of the poor and loaning it to the r ! is it's highest claim on his integrity and conscience. But if all deposits are
 to be guaranteed, why not risk them ! in trying to make himself rich see
 ing no one in particular will be the
 loser? Deposits are not money. They
 are largely created by, expansion of /. credit In my judgment, we want less { expansion of credit in this country
 not more, and 1t seems to me that ii
 there is one thing that would make 4 loose banking more common, infiate
 both loans and deposits to a degree
 never before witnessed, and ultimately
 produce a crash worse than any we
 have ever had, that thing is govern
 ment guarantee of deposits.
 I There are nearly one hundred finan, | cial bills, am told, clamoring for at,
 tention at Washington. hope either
 the one proposed by the bankers com.
 mission will pass or that none will
 pass until another commission com
 posed of bankers and leading busi.
 ness men has been appointed by the
 government, has studied the problem 1 thoroughly and has reported bill. i In closing, let me say that the pre-
 vailing note in the west is optimistic.
 This being election year, there will
 of course, be some hesitation until we { ascertain just what particular brand i of reformer we are to have in the i White House, for that reason we dc | not expect general business in 1908

 The last dividend paid by the Mex leo Consolidated company was in August. 1907, when 50 cents per share was paid, and at that time it was stated that the November dividend would be deferred, but 1t was plan ned to pay it with the February dis bursement. making s1 per share to be paid at that time.
 The deferring of dividend was due to the rainy season, which seriously interfered with getdng ore to smelt- CTS. and the financial necessities in the building of the company's big cyanide mill. At the time of dividend deferment, silver was selling at about 65 cents per ounce. It is now 55 cents. The decline has, of necessity, ma terially interfered with earnings, yet in the face of the fall in the price of silver, the company, according to the figures of Treasurer Freeman, has earned it's dividend requirements for the past six months, calling for s240.- coo, and in addition a surplus of S44,000.
 The directors will meet early next month fer dirs1eEd action, when f. will be decided whether to pay 50 cents or $1.

Weather Report for March as
Taken from Dodge City
Station.

March 1908 was one of the
warmest and dryest since there
has been a record kept here, the
average temperature 47.4 being
81 degrees above the normal.
This record has been surpassed,
however, five times during the
past "a years, 1878 having a
record of SO, 1879 and 1882 aver
aging IS, while 1905 has record
of 49, and 1907 the unusually
high average of 81. The highest
temperature for the month, 81,
was recorded on the 25th, and
the minimum, reading IS, was
registered on the 9th. The
total precipitation Oh was O.76
below the normal, but 1875, 1880
and 1904 show a record of GOA,
and in 1893 only trace was re-
corded. The largest amount
for this month, $50 inches.
occurred in 1876, while in 1891
1872 inches of rain and snow fell.
Although there were four or five
quite windy days, the total move
ment for the month, 71S7 miles,
is considerably below the aver
age. The highest velocity for
the month was ~ miles from the
southeast on the 18th. The 21st
was another windy day with a
maximum of ~ miles from the
southeast. There was a little
more than the average amount
of sunshine, the record showing
GO per cent of the possible.
