Invention of Atlanta
Banker Proves Aid to
Adding Machine Work
w. S. Lounsbury offered Large
Royalties for Use of New
Device.

w. s. Lounsbury. vice president Of the
Travellers Bank and Trust Company, now
appears in the role of inventor. His in
vention is an adding machine attach
ment. So far has he progressed that
patents are pending and the leading add
ing machine corporations, after sending
representatives to Atlanta to see the de-
vice, have made offers of handsome roy
alties for it.
Mr.. Lounsburys device is intended to
facilitate the handling Of statement
sheets AS the adding machine now is
constructed it is necessary to lay the
sheets to be worked on a table at the
left, pass them through the machine, and
pile them again on a table at the right
This Inconvenience has retarded sales Of
the machines.
With the new attachment, the state
ment blanks to be used stand at atn
angle on a sort of shelf, AS they are
worked, they are dropped into another
compartment of the same receptacle.
They always are in order, and always
piled straight, When through, the OPP
orator detaches the device, folds II, and
ii becomes a steel case which goes into
a pigeonhole in the bank vaults, like an
ordinary filing case.

discounted in an effective manner. Bears

NEW YORK. March 26.-In the face of
weak cables the cotton market opened
steady today with first prices at net gain
OF j TO points from the previous close.
strength in this market was attributed
largely to the report that Adrianople had
fallen and that the allies are in posses
sion and the end Of the Balkan war in
sight. This, coupled with continued
storms over half dozen adjacent states,
brought out wave Of good buying. The
principal buyers were the larger spot
houses, also shorts covering. The selling
was light and scattered. Business, how
ever was light.
At the end of half hour the market
was steady, showing further advance of
TO points from the initial level.
The decline in the English market was
retrieved quickly on news of weather con-
ditions on this side. The strength in that
market during the closing hour brought
out further short covering here and good
buying generally. AS the session gained
neadway, offerings became lighter and the
bulls quickly took advantage of the op-
portuntty to send prices higher. On the

OKLAHOMA FARMS
ARE Threatened
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MAY
WITHDRAW ITS DEMONSTRA-
TION AGENTS IN STATE.
PETTY JEAL0USIES Cause
President of \. and VI. College and
Members Of "Old Board" Rcspon-
sibIe il Is Said.

MUSKOGE ZEE, April 15.-(Special.)
Petty Jealousy and factional differ
ences in the state board of agricul-
ture threaten to cause the entire
withdrawal of the federal government
in its farmers cooperative demon
stration work in this state.
President Connell of the State A. &
NJ. college with some OF the old mem
bers of the board OF agriculture es-
peclally Messrs. Brewer and Elliott,
seem to be determined TO force the
federal governments farm demon
stration to leave the state This is
made fairly plain by a number of let
ters recently written and by the
statement supposed to have been
made by Mr.. Brewer yesterday in
Tulsa to the effect that they would
soon be rid of the federal demonstra-
tors.
That Secretary ID. +. Houston is
thoroughly aroused and disguised
with the Oklahoma situation and con-
templates withdrawing federal aid
from this state is clearly said out by
letter written by Secretary Houston
to Congressman Bill Murray April 5th.
Since the first Of the year, largely
as n result of the activity Of the Mus
kogee Commercial club, twenty-five
counties of the eastern side of the
state have organized for farmers CO.
operative demonstration work. The
counties have each raised the $4,000
which Is required as the local con-
tribution. The government sends its
agents to each county where the
county will pay a portion of the ex-
pense. A good many thousand dol
lars will be spent in Oklahoma in this
way during the year unless the per-
nicious activity and petty jealousy of
the A. & NJ. college and the board OF
agriculture prevail.
At the regular session of the legisla-
ture county commissioners were au-
thorized to appropriate $5O0.00 in
each county to assist this work. It
was for the promotion OF this work
that the great agricultural conven-
tlon was held in this city some weeks
ago which resulted in the organiza-
uOn OF tne Eastern oklanofna ABrl-
cultural association
The Commercial club has appointed
committee to take this matter up
with the members of congress and
the secretary, but every man in east
ern Oklahoma who has an interest in
farm development ought to send his
protests to Congressman Murray
against permitting any further op
position from either President Con-
nell of the A. & NJ. or any of the
members of the state board Of agri
culture. Possibly. nothing that has
occurred In recent months has so
seriously threatened the prosperity of
the state from an agricultural stand
point as this attempt to get rid of
some farm agents because they cannot
he controlled.
Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1913-04-16

Guaranty journal published In Tulsa
told the men that there was no pace
IN city building for personal Jealousy.
The man who seeks To destroy his
competitors business is failure he
declared, "A few months ago 1t was
mp TO me TO select a town In which
to publish the bankers magazine
selected Tulsa because thought #
was the best city in the state.
Il think the Commercial club
should take steps to have Tulsa made
reserve center for national banks.
II would add greatly to the banking
strength Of the city. Good roads are
another necessity when We rememb-
cr that last year II cost five million
more to market the crops in this
country than the farmers received. ."
probably during the next few
months congress viii establish rural
credits throughout this country with
one land bank in each state, Tulsa
should begin right now planning on
having this land bank
