NO SPECIAL SESSION.
Gossip Concerning One Is Regarded
as Bluff.

Many politicians believe that the adj
min1Stration IS only blufing with its
special session talk. They admit that
an extra session will be necessary if the
national bankers continue in their at
surfing deposits bearing more than 3
per cent interest, the limit allowed state
banks that participate in the guaranty
deposit plan.
But the politicians believe that the
governor hopes to get an agreement with
the national bankers and the new surety
company that they will limit the guar
anteed deposits to those bearing not
more than 3 per cent and then the gov
ernor can get along without a special
session. By many, the talk of the spec
ial session IS considered move to force
the national bankers into line. A lot
Of state bankers and those interested
in the derosit guaranty under state
control see failure ahead for the guar
enty plan unless something is done al
once.
Some national banks advertised to pay
4 per cent on deposits and it is reported
that a few are even offering per cent
or time certificates, the certificates be-
il g guaranteed by the insurance COM
pany organized by the bankers. Such
Ia rate of interest would take away
nearly all of the deposits of the state
banks. The national bankers generally
are regarded as antagonistic to the
guaranty plan to begin with, and it is
believed that they would like to make
liz a failure if possible.

that he still entertains.
ct do not care for the stock SO
much,'' said Mr.. Dexter, ''but want
to force Badger to tell what he knows
and figure that he must now do so
or return the stock to me-"
Orlando Dexter was a victim of the
feud which had existed for many
years between the owners of great
hunting estates in the Adirondacks

hood The Dexters had prosecuted
many old-time residents for tres
passing and maintained armed guards

average college boy and girl.
FLIRTING is the surest road toward
the proper knowledge of social life,
says the professor. 81 think the girls
of Radcliffe and the boys of Harvard
devote too much of their time to
study. They actually bury them
selves in their books and the result
is that when they get through college
they don't know a thing about social
life. They should mingle a little
frivoIity with their studies-in other
words, they should f1irt a little"
