OKLAHOMA BOYS MAY WORK
FOR UNIVERSITY TRAINING

Norman, Okla Mar 70 All stu.
dents desiring work on the sewer
ditch for the university have aoen
requested to hand their names to Mr..
Frank Flood All boys who desire
will be given work at twenty cents
an hour for all time they care to put
in until the work is finished. It is
the policy of those In charge at the
university to allow students in the in
stitution to do all the work possible
around the school. also the people
of Norman give the students the pre-.
ference. In this way a large number
of the students are able to be at least
partly self supporting. A large percent
OF the students of Oklahoma univef-
sity are now making their own way
either in whole or In part There Is
no reason wny any young man or
woman who has the energy and per
severance can not get a college edu-
cation in this state, If tney will just
go at itwith the determination to get
it.

NATIONAL BANKS CANNOT
GUARANTEE DESPOSITORS

Topeka, Kans., Mar. 15.-"Your let.
ter is received. inquiring If your bank
will be permitted to comply with the
provisions of the Kansas law relative
to guaranteeing deposits.
1T is entirely beyond the power Of
a natlonai bank to appropriate any Of
It's funds for the guaranty Of depositors
in other banks. either state or nation
al. The appropriation of part of it's
funds to establish a guaranty fund for
the payment Of depositors in all banks
Is, to the o@tent of the funds appro-
priated, a contract of guaranty. The
courts have held that a national bank
has no right to enter into any contract
of guaranty except in connection with
the sale and transfer OF It's own pa
per-
This is the opinion given a national
bank at Pleasanton, Kans., by T. 2.
Kane. deputy comptroller of the cur
rency, at Washington. II has only one
meaning, and that Is that national
banks will not be permitted to parti.
cipate in the Kansas bank guaranty
scheme.

said that, either the latter part OF July or
the first part of August. an attractive ap-

Consul at Nuremburg Reports Some
Interesting Figures.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Beer, it appears
from the report OF United States Consul
lift, Of Nuremburg. is responsible for the
poverty Of the average middle class Ger
man family.
He has transmitted TO this government
the findings of the imperial statistical bu-
reau, which one year ago distributed house
keeping books among German families
with the request that the head Of each
household keep a detailed account Of ex-
penditures for the twelve months. Only s52
families turned in complete records. An
investigation Of these disclosed the fact
that more than one-half of the average
family's income went for food and drink.
For drink, most of it beer, almost 10 per
cent was spent.
1t was likewise discovered that the aver
age earnings Of German families of the
wage. earning class were $521 20 a year,
while the average expenditure was $531 So,
or an average annual deficit of 80 9'to each
family.
