Its fine thing to be a '09 gradu-

were graduated, whether it was from
the high school in a little town or
from one of the worlds greatest uni
versities. But the 'rah 'rah. business,
the spotlight, the flowers and the ap-
plauding people have gone glimmer-

after a little you'll not feel like yell
ing. Tempus has fugitted a whole
lot. Things are not as they were.
You're like a fellow who has lived in

and has sold out and is getting ready
to move to far country. You are
rather lost without the company of
the class and the leadership and sup
port of the faculty It's a dangerous
time for you for you crave action.
Don't find it with the gang. Get a
job. Get a job quick. It's the safe
way.
And when you get it, keep it.
Don't ask to be carried around on a
chip. Take yours as the other fellow
gets his. It's bigger than any OF the

DEPOSIT GUARANTEE.

The bank deposit guaranty law
passed by the last session of the Kan
sas legislature goes into effect today
While the law will affect only such
banks as elect to comply with it, II
is expected that all of the TT state
banks in Kansas. will eventually place
themselves under its provisions.
The banks, under the new law, are
to be partners in a sort of mutual IN
surance company. They will have tc
put up a million dollars in state and
national securities to- guarantee the
payment of deposits and the dues OF
insurance premiums will be only one
twentieth of one per cent annually.
Briefly stated the law provides fol
protection to the following classes Of
deposits: Those that do not bear in
terest, time certificates payable II
less than six months from date, and
not exceeding more than one year
bearing interest not to exceed pei
cent per annum and on which inter
est shall cease at maturity; savings

has reserved in writing the right to
require, sixty days notice of withdraw
al, and bearing interest at not to ex
coed three per cent per annum. De
posits which are primarily discounts
or money borrowed by the bank anc
all deposits otherwise secured, are
not guaranteed under the act.
Just what effect the new law is tc
have on the national banks appears
uncertain. The Department OF Justice
at Washington having decided thai
the national banks could not particl
pate in the guarantee feature of the
Kansas law, the banKs themselves
have started movement to organize
