70 PROTECT INVESTORS.
state Bank Commissioner DolIey "a
Protect Farmers.


Topeka. State Bank Commissioner
J. N. Dolley has established bureau,
In connection with his department, to
protect unsophistocated Kansas far
msrs against financial grafters and
sharks. II the farmers take advant
age Of it, he says they will save mil
lions annually.
Kansas Is a fertile field for the
promoter" Just now. The farmers all
have money lying idle in the banks.
Still they are anxious to have more
money and II promoter can show
them how they can doubble their pres.
ent capital, or even get a big dividend
on what they have now, he has no
trouble selling them stock" Many
Of them make no investigation what
ever before investing; they simply
take the promoters word for It. They
are afraid If they delay action the pro.
moter will sell to some one else.
The promoters, as a rule, are shrewd
men. They know how to work far.
mers as well as other people. An OBJ.
servation from them, at the psycholo-
gical moment, that the stock Is going
fast, nearly always brings the farmers
checkbook out Of his pocket.
Probably no state in the union Is
infested with more promoters than
Kansas at this time," said Bank Com.
missioner Dolley. "Our farmers are
prosperous. They all have money and
don't know what to do with it. The
smooth-tongued promoter can sell them
stock In most anything. All sorts Of
fake concerns are floating stock here.
The amount of money they are gath
ering In Is stupendous. 1t is time to
call halt. While some of the enter
prises are perhaps all right, most Of
them are either fakes or else schems
Of questionable financial character.
And 1t Is to sift out the good from
the bad and protect the farmers that
I have established the information bu-
reau."
The bank commissioner next week
will scatter broadcast over the state
q notice that his office Is now prepared
to furnish farmers and other proposed
investors complete information con-
corning every concern that Is trying to
float stock in Kansas. This notice
will urge farmers, especially, not to
invest cent in sock until they get
from the state banking department a
'ull report as to the financial standing
of the concern and the men behind it.
Il have arranged to get at this in
through the various agen-
,ies," said he. "If any Of the concerns
ire not listed l will make a personal
Investigation. BY consulting my new
bureau they can protect themselves
against all fakes and gratis. It is up
o them now. If they are swindled in
he future by some irresponsible stock
ober 1t Is their own fault"

Fish for Every Family.


Wichita.-Prof. L. L. Dyche, state
fish and game warden, declared that IL
the farmers Of Kansas will follow his
advice he will establish enough ponds
to give every family in the state one
good meal of fish once each week,
which would be at least 100000
worth of fish each year. He wants
the farmers to build fish ponds and
will issue a bulletin In short time
on how to build the ponds and on how
to select fish for stocking them and
how to feed the fish. He is now visit
ing ponds which are being built and
says that most Of them are not proper
ly constructed.

Fraternity Men Ahead.

Misunderstanding to statistics
compiled in the office of George O..
Foster, registrar of the University Of
Kansas, members of fraternities have
made a better scholarship showing
this year than non-fraternity men. 10
compile the statistics the work OF all
the non-fraternity men and that of the
fraternity men was averaged. The
two results were compared and it was
found that the average work of the
fraternity men was 2S per cent bet
ter than that of the men not in Greek
societies. Last year conditions were
reversed.
