springiieia III Jan IA bill en-
bodying the Oklahoma idea Of a bank
depositors' guaranty fund was intro
duced in the house. The measure,
which Is almost identical with the
law in operation in Oklahoma, pro
vides for the establishment Of a state
banking board and the collecting Of an
assessment Of per cent of average
daily deposits upon all state banks
and trust companies. The assessment
is to create a guaranty fund
/ When a bank under the act becomes
nsolyent and can not pay its obliga-
tions, deposltors are paid from the
guaranty fund, and if it is not large
enough, an extra assessment may be
levied upon the solvent banks. Upon
state banks and trust companies the
bill is mandatory, while upon national
and private banking institutions It IS
optional The latter may come under
the jurisdiction Of the banking board
of their own volition.

Ollie James is the biggest man

last year, mainly because they were
not carefully trained. Scores OF miles
OF trail had to be cut to get fire crews
into the heart of some of the fires.
and once there they had little chance
to escape or to get reinforcements.
Forester Graves estimates that the
government will have to spend So 600.

under control. Forest trails that would

$4,000 miles of new telephone lima

When all this is accomplished, IN
six or eight years; when supplies of
tools are ready at every point, and
the force of summer fremen is In

will be almost impossible for a forest
fire to get such start as did those Of

The sources of fire in the forests
are now well known. Last year there
were nearly 5000 fires, but less than
l5 per cent. of these did any great
damage. Out of 1856 of the fires care

ported to the rangers.
The fighting of the big fires in the
northwest last year cost the govern
ment over 100000 in actual ex-

firemen, and destroyed government
timber worth $4,000, 900. Private and

James was troubled. He had that
sense of having to do his work which
he had tried to explain and make

Genevieve went home to mother
and stayed there. So did Babykins.
No more evenings once a week when
his dimples were unrolled out of his
little buds.
After six months Of that, James
went out and bought a weekly paper

very few natural non-husbands would

And the kid resembles his mother.
