Guthrie, Okla, Dec. 31.-The year
Il909, as seen through the Office Of
Bank Commissioner A. NJ Young has
been . highly prosperous one for this
state
New banks have been organized
under the regulations Of his depart
ment, which. OF course, means under
the bank guaranty law, to the number
Of 124, Of which seventy-two we're new
banks entirely and tifty-two convert
ed banks. or banks which surrender
ed their national charter to get the
benefits of the state guaranty law
The total increase in capital stock Of
state banks during the year has been
s5.04S.5O0; divided into capital paid
in Of new state banks, $l,360,5O0; cap
ital stock Of conversions. S1,S5S,5 500;
authorized increases in capital stock,
1929, 500 Thirty-one state banks have
increased their capital stock during
the year to one that has decreased.
Fourteen state banks have voluntarily
liquidated or had charters which ex-
pred and were not renewed. Two
banks have failed, the Columbia Bank
& Trust company and the First State
bank of Kiefer both without loss to
depositors, however
Two state banks have nationalized,
one at Oklahoma City and ore at Enid
both recently; while ffty-two national
banks have converted to state insti-
tutions, seven Of these since the fail
urs Of the Columbia Rank & Trust
company
There are 671 state banks; with a
total capital stock of approximately
$lI 900 900; surplus OF approximate.

total Of $13,75OoOO invested in state
banks Of Oklahoma. These banks are
now carrying individual deposits Of
more than s50,O0O,OOO, and this ag-
gregate IS growing at the rate Of
about $4,000 900 per month. The total
assets or resources Of state banks now

What to anyone familiar with fin
ance is equally as complimentary to
lie Oklahoma state bankers as the
rapid increase in banks and deposits
is the fact that the average reserve
held by the state banks has steadily
grown until 1t has reached the unpre
cedented percentage Of 4s.1. This
high percentage Of reserve held is
probably unsurpassed in the United
states and is the plainest proof that

couraging dissolute banking methods.

high reserve that has kept Oklahoma

Tuesday was a most memorable
day in the history Of the Vile Platte
High School, the occasion being the
first graduating class turned out by
the school, which has formerly been
the Eyangeline Academy.
The exercises we're made exceed
ingly impressive by the presence of
the distinguished State Superintend-
ent, Thos. H. Harris, who delivered a
most eloquent and forcible address
to the graduating class.
Mr.. Harris dweIt particularly on
the necessity of education, giving en-
eouraging advise to the fine young
graduates, and complimented Vile
Platte very highly on the success of
the school year.
On comforting the diplomas Dr..
Lads Lazarro made very appropri-
ate and interesting address to the
graduates, pointing out many high
ideals at which he urged them to
aim and strike. He showed where
the education of the High School was
not an end but only d beginning of
education. In speaking Of the school,
he very eloquently praised the great

cordial welcome to all those present,
he introduced Mr.. Hunter as the
orator Of the evening.
Mr.. Hunters address dealt princi-
pally With the subject of fraternity,

He was especially felicitious in his
reference to women, and showed how

In the course of his lecture in the

PARISH DIVISION
SUIT Is TRIED.
Judge Edwards Hears Evidence ID Famous
Case, and Takes II UudeF Amusement.
WILL GO TO SUPREME COURT.
judge Edwards In No Manner Indicated which
side he Leaned.-EYIdence Mostly Doc.
umeniarY, and Tria BaegentfuE

The suit contsesing Of the enabling
act calling for the election for the
creation Of the parish of Evangeline
out Of portion OF the parish Of st.
Landry was tried before Judge w. 2.
Edwards last Monday, and is now be-
fore him, under adyisement.
There was not a single sensational
feature about the trial of the suit.
Few witnesses were introduced, the
entire case being made up Of doc
umentary evidence.
Messrs. Gilbert Z. Dupre, Thos. e.
Lewis and 3. B. Dubuisson conducted
the case for the anti-diVisionists,
while Hon. Dudley Il. Gilbeau held
his own for the divisionists.
Judge Edwards arrived here on the
2::30 train Monday, and went right to
work on the division suit, after con-
frming a few defaults ID other cases.
The trial lasted into the night, the
arguments being concluded at about
1870 o'clock.
OF course it is impossible to even
guess at the decision to be arrived at
by Judge Edwards. he did not at
any time show partiality on either
side, and from his conduct there is
no way to tell what his idea Of the
case is. Judge Edwards has made
a favorable impression here. He is
quick, decisive and impartial, and
gets through with a wonderful lot
Of business in short time.
Both sides announced that the
matter would be appealed TO the
Supreme Court, no matter what the
decision was.
