A SEMI-CENTENNiAL.
(Springfield, Mass, Republican.

(Springfield, Mass, Republican,
Fifty years ago this week-to be pre-
else, Feb. 25, 1863-the national bank
act of the United States became law.
In these days the defects of the act,
as it now is written, are much exploit
and the need for it's radical amend
ment is undoubtedly vital to the bust
ness interests of the country.
Yet the national bank system has
performed incalculable service since
it's organization. Born in response to
the imperative financial necessities of
the federal government in the civil
WARRIOR, in granting the note issuing
privilege to these banks, the govern
ment made a market for it's bonds
which secured bank circulation-the
system has been successful in the
years since the war in meeting for the
most part the requirements of the en-
ormous industrial and commercial de-
velopment of the country. Not only
has this development been one of the
monumental facts of American history
but the national bank system has pass
ed through several financial panics
without collapse.
All this is to be said to it's credit
Certainly, it has been an immense i'm
provement upon the chaotic state
bank system which existed between
the downfall of the old United States
bank and the civil war. The recen
growth Of the country and 50"years
of experience have simply demonstrat
ed that the time has come to perfec
lit and thus make it adequate to the
unmistakable requirements of the half
century to come.

DRESSING ON $1,000 A YEAR.
Chicago cord-HeraIdl


If Mrs. Woodrow Wilson's assertion
that she expects to dress on $1,000 a
year has hurt her in the estimation of
modistes and of some women of soci-
ETY., she may be sure that it has in
creased the respect in which she is
held by vast numbers of sensible peo-
pie.
Mrs. Wilson has been living in a
group where social availability is not
measured by dress; she evidently has
her own ideas of what makes a social
group worth while and hasn't the least
idea of changing them. If her influ-
ence can in any degree lessen the ty-
ranny of dress among women, it will
be decidedly a moral influence as we'll
as an aesthetic one, and it will make
for truer estimate of social values.

The G. NJ. E. Church Is making
preparations for an old folks concert.
Our people are going to have a col
ored fair this month. Fayette Coun-
ty is coming right along. What we
need here is a good schoOl-house and
nine months school. The Knights
of Pythias Lodge here is going to
build a hall some time this month.
f. G. Falls was a pleasant visitor
here this week. We have so many
people here that get up in church
after the preachers have preached
good sermons and do lot of unneccs-
sary talk. This is driving away most
of the people who would attend
church. What we need is good SER
mons and less talk and we would
have better collections. Miss Shug
Agnew has been i'll but is up again.
Mr.. Calvin Rocker was in this week
and paid up his Globe account. He
likes the Globe all right. He asks
mis- friends of Fayette County did they
ever stop to think that colored
paper is a help to the parents in
rearing their children. Let them
read what our people are doing and
let them know we have some good
men and women in our race. When
you are in Somerville call at John
G. Robinson's barber shop and let
him talk it over with you. Mr.. Alex
Taylor and Tom Isabel gave a basket
banquet for the benerit of school
house they are building out in the

OPPORTUNITIES FOR ORGAN
IZERS.

The order is now conducting a na(
tion-wide campaign for members and
is allowing organizers the most liber-
al contract ever given by any frater-
nal order in the world During the
past twenty-four months we have Or
gained 600 new lodges. Some or
ganizers have earned as high as 5000
per month. We allow oranizers,
under extension plan, to set up local
lodges for the price of the charter fee
For instance, an organizer would set
up a temple of sixty men at 81 each;
that would amount to $3.50. His
charter would cost SIS, leaving him
a net profit of $105 We are anxious
to engage active young men and wo-
men in all parts Of the United States
to organize lodges. Especially are
we anxious to secure organizers in
Illinois, Indiana, Virginia and West
Virginia, Maryland, North and South
Carolina, Mississippi, Pennsylvania,
New York and Kansas. This offer
will not remain open indefinitely, and
you had better write today for terms.

SUBSTANTIAL PROOF OF
RELIABILITY.

Failures and frauds have been so
numerous in organizations Of this
character that the public is naturally
skeptical. We cite you the following
evidences of our reliability, and same
may be verified by spending a little
time investigating:
The order is now erecting Nation
al Temple Building in Little Rock,
Ark. at cost of 100000, the same
being erected out of the orders sur
plus funds, and no extra building tax
er assessment has been LEVIED upon
the members. This has never been
heard of in the history of fraternal
orders. This order has never levied
an extra tax upon its members to pay
off any kind Of obligation, and not
single instance can be cited during
thirty-two years, where the order has
failed to meet promptly its just obi"
cations to the people. In our En-
dowment department. the ninety-day
waiver, which appears in most certi'
ficates, has never been taken adyant'
age of. because the order has always
had sufficient funds to meet its claims
whenever proof of death is made Our
Endowment department is national
and has been inspected from time to
time by various insurance commits"
sioners. The order has come out
of each inspection with flying colors,
AS we grow older, instead of decreas'
ing. our Endowment surplus is grow"
