Bank Uses Thumb Print Signatures

card for him, Just as we would for
any other depositor. Then we write
his name and witness his mark. Then
we give him an ordinary rubber
stamp pad with red ink on it, and he
presses first one thumb and then. the
other on the pad and makes a care
full, clear impression of each on the
corners of his card.
When the depositor comes back to
add to his account or to withdraw
money the bank attendant makes out
the slip for him and writes in his
name. Then the depositor makes his
thumb print on the slip and presents
it at the teller's window. The teller
turns to the card index and finds the
card, just as he would for any other
depositor. In place of looking at the
signature he looks at the thumb prints
and compares them with the marks
on the deposit or withdrawal slip.
We have never had a complaint or
error from the use of this system.
There are absolutely no two thumbs
alike, and the thumb print mark is
an absolute Identification. We have
had complaints over signatures, but
never over thumb prints. Men have
claimed that they did not sign with
drawal slips, but no one has ever de.
MED his thumb mark.

City and State Face Tramp Question

OF Ave years actually 23.964 trespass'
ers were killed and 1926 injured in
the United States while stealing rides,
Most of them were tramps, and al
least one-ffth OF the accidents took
place in this state
A large proportion OF these vagrants
are youths and young men whose ages
range from sixteen TO twenty-one.
Reared In the cities their yearning for
adventure, uncontrolled by proper
home conditions, causes them to take
the road.
Though one-half OF these finally quit
the nomadic life and return home or
settle down, the remaining half be-
come inveterate tramps and gradual
ly turn from vagrancy into career
OF crime or semi-crime. A very large
percentage, however. are adults and
comprise every species, from men who
will not or cannot work through
chronic unftness TO those who are
innocent victims OF downright adyer-
sity
One solution proposed is to form a
labor colony. A labor colony is, brief
ly, a state-owned cosony Tor the de-
tention, reformation and instruction in
agriculture and other industrial occu'
pations Of persons committed by mag
istrates as tramps and vagrants.

Has $50 and Junk" at
Night.

Hammond, Ind.-President Frank
Nelson Of the Lowell bank gave Frank
Coorse an old silver watch In the
morning. The watch ran when Coorse
ran. Coorse gave 10 cents to a jeweler
to make the watch tick and sold It
for So. With the So he bought sick
horse from a farmer
This he traded for an old buggy and
two extra wheels, He then traded the
two extra wheels for the body of a
road cart and put his buggy wheels
on the cart. trading the body of the
buggy for a set of harness. For this
outfit a farmer traded him blind
broncho Coorse did not know the
broncho was blind until it ran away
with him.
Another farmer, thinking the bron-
cho spirited animal and not knowing
1t was blind, gave him $50 for it after
Coorse had wept and told him he had
raised the animal from a colt. Nelson
is now ready to match Coorse against
any other trader.

UNIQUE REUNION in KANSAS

II Of 76"-soldIers Gather From
Every State In Union.

Kansas Is noted for its old soldier
reunions, where attendants are more
or less waving the old flag and re.
counting old tales Of glories long past.
But Winfield claims to have an old
soldiers reunion unusual in many re.
spects.
Winheld's OLD soldiers reunion is in.
corporated under the laws of the state
OF Kansas, with a charter for 90 years.
Winfield permits no concessions TO be
sold. The reunion is supported by
contributions from the citizens.
There are no merry-gorounds, no
shooting galleries, no squeaking bal
looms. no riding whips, no confetti on
the grounds OF the old soldiers re-
union in Winfield. The week is en-
ttrely given over to recalling reminis-
cences of valor and confessing recol-
lections Of fear by the soldiers at the
camp meetings, held each morning in
the auditorium at Island Park, to lis.
tening to good old war songs and mod

ry, according to the same system used
at this time.
In 1928, five years after the orig
inal fort was built Philip Renault
came from Bermuda with his slaves
and settled near st. Philip, using the
fort for a storehouse and a refuge
when the Indians seemed hostile.
Fort Chartres was the capital of
New France until ceded to England
in 1863. In 1878 the fort was captured
from the English by Gen. George
Rogers Clark, commanding troops
under a commission from the COVER
nor of Virginia. Fort Chartres then
became the capital of the great north
west territory, and the seat of gov
ernment remained there until states
were formed from the territory High
water, which occasionally flooded the
fort, caused Fort Gage to be built
near by. This was followed by the
final abandonment of Chartres.
When the fTench ceded new france
to the English and the flag of France
was hauled down, many residents of
that district refused to live under the
English flag and went to St. Louis.
Among the families who moved away
rather than live under the English
flag are several whose descendants
became very prominent in the com
mercial and social life of st. Louis.
OF the several old forts built in
the Illinois Bottoms more than a cen
tury ago, the only one that has any
thing left of the original buildings
is Fort Chartres. Under the care of
a custodian appointed by the state,
the place will be made into a park
and preserved from further ruin

ant Boisbriant At that time it was
designed for protection Of the French
in case the Spaniards came IN from
Santa Fe.
A new menace appeared in 1850
when the English became aggressive
during the few years preceding the
French and Indian war. The English
troops were expected to march west
and the old fort was torn down to
make way for one built Of stone
This new structure cost about 81 500,
600, far more than any other fort In
America cost until long after that
date.
The powder magazine was built Of
dressed stone and is still IN good con,
dition. So are the wells, which were
lined with stone. The material was
obtained from a quarry four miles
away and carried from the quarry to
the fort site by boat on a lake that
has since disappeared. The dressed
stones were all numbered at the quar-

to the police station. Their tobacco
and cigarette papers were taken away
from them. The chief lectured the
boys and permitted them to go home.

The reunion of this year has been
the most successful of any meeting
held up to date, and several remark
able reunions were attendant upon it.
Soldiers were gathered from practical
ly every state in the Union, to the
number of 325 altogether, while 400
soldiers wives and widows and daugh-
ters were registered. One hundred
and twenty-siX tents were fitted up
with all housekeeping appliances, oc-
cupied by old soldiers, their wives,
their sons and daughters and grand
children. The meeting brought to-
gether many family reunions as well
as not a few old soldiers who had
fought side by side during the war
and had not met since.
A feature which attracted greatest
attention and warm praise and
aroused patriotic springs long dor
mant, was the Douglas drum corps.
Seven drummers and fifers who played
their instruments all through the Civil
war; in different regiments and from
different states, chanced at the close
of the war to settle in Butler county,
adjoining Cowley county on the north.
These men discovered years ago each
others occupations during the war
and formed the Douglass Drum Corps.
AS much time as these men can spare
from their prosperous farms they de-
vote to playing at soldiers reunions.
A. P. Douthitt of Cowley county and
William Hill, fifer Of the drum corps
of Butler county, have lived within
twenty-five miles of one another for 30
years. They were acquainted and
yet this reunion was the occasion of
developing the following between
them for the first time Douthitt was
on the camping ground when Hill ar
rived. He CHANGED to ask Hill to
what regiment he belonged

Hill

war. He was a prisoner at Anderson

II months Smalley and / slept under

"And it was my fife you heard when
we fellows came to release you" Hill
rejoined.
Such incidents were frequent during
the reunion. Crops were forgotten;
the excellence Of the wheat; the fail
ure of the corn; the relative merits
of millet and timothy; the superiority
Of alfalfa over prairie hay, we're not
mentioned. Nothing was discussed
but wartime adventures, trials and oc-
casional pleasures. Closer friendships
we're formed and ties drawn nearer
through the "reminiscences which, ex'
cept for this model reunion, would

vent their smoking cigarettes. Henry

dertaken to vigorously enforce the
Kansas law which forbids minors to
smoke. The police are confscating all
tobacco, cigars, cigarettes, cigarette
papers and pipes found in possession
Of youths. It's back to the corn silk
and the grapevine for the boys. They
cannot legally smoke until they reach
the proper age.
This law is of the 1909 vintage, but
little attention was paid to it and the
Kansas City boys who wanted to roll
one" went ahead and rolled it and
smoked without official interference.
There were some complaints to the
city officials, however, and finally Chief
Zimmer ordered the patrolmen to stop
juvenile smoking. The chief has seven
sons and he knew something about
how to stop smoking,
