in the Johnson home, the wife told
the court. and she believed she would
be happier without her husbands pres
ence.
Maggie N. Orendorff complained
that a. W. Orendorff had not pro-
vided for her wants for several
months The wife also stated that
Orendorff was cruel and neglectful of
her personal feelings and that life in

The Quality Should
Be Tested

There IS probably not a man wbc
reads this who does not pay GU
more money every year for insurance
than he does for his shoes, and YET
there is probably no man who reads
this who gives half as much atten.
tion to the quality Of the insurance
he pays for, as he does to the quail
ty of the shoes that he pays for.
The reason is obvious. You buy
your shoes and you put them to the
test of use. If they do not stand
the test, You find ort the inferior
quality. You buy the insurance
policy and you put it on the shelf,
and only one policy in a good MANY
is put to the test of use for the pur-
pose for which it is bought. The
consequence Is that you neglect to
post yourself as to the manner IN
which the quality can be tested.
You know good shoe when you
zee it, but you do not know good

REYN0 STATE BANK
SUSPfNDS BUSINESS
Liabilities About $4,000 With
Available Assets of About
$4,000

The doors of the Reyno State
Bank were closed last Friday morn
ing, by order oil the directors, pend
ing an investigation of the condi-
tion of that institution.
Heavy overdrafts, loans and poor
collections are said to be the cause
of the failure. The liabilities of
the bank are about Sl2, ,000,0 with
80, 700. 90 available assets and more
than enough good paper to secure
the balance. In other words the
bank is able to pay depositors about
75 per cent now, and the balance as
soon as collections OF loans can be
made.
An effort is being made by the
citizens of Reyno to organize new
bank, capitalized at sl2, 100000,
fully paid up. w e understand
about 500 of the amount has
been subscribed but the arrange
ments have not as yet been perfect
ed. A meeting for the purpose of
settling up the entire affair will be
held next Monday.
Attorney E. G Schoonover of
this city is repre- sen ting the bank
