Should Women Wear

I do not suggest that feminists are
arrayed against the care Of the body.
Far from 1t, for the campaign has
many associates among those who
support physical culture-the FRESH

vival and athleticism In general; but
feminists are we'll aware that concen-
tration on adornment diverts woman
from the development Of her brain
and her soul and enhances In her the

One tentative suggestion II being
made, and that Is q uniform for wom-
en-. The interested parties point out
that men practically wear uniform,
that there Is hardly any change from
year to year inN their costume, and
that any undue adornment OF the male
Is looked upon as bad form. Thus,
while few men can with impunity
spend more than $500 year on their
many women do not consider
themselves happy unless they can dis
pose Of anything between five and 20
times that amount. This, while In

Across the page from the editorial

no more fresh eggs than at present.

II takes from ten to fourteen
pounds Of airdry feed to produce one

BANKS IN GOOD SHAPE

governor, State Bank Examiner
Wingfield of Mitchell, says the banks
n in a generally prosperous condi-
tion. The report discusses the condi-
ton OF 500 state banks, fourteen pri-
vate banks and twelve trust com
panies. During the period covered
by the report, forty state banks, one
private bank and four trust COM
panies were organized; six banks left
the jurisdiction by becoming national
banks, twenty-one liquidated voluntar-
lily; three private banks Incorporated
as state banks, and eight banks for
feited their charters by failing to open
for business within the time specified
by law, making a total not gain of
Twenty-Five banks for the two years.
Six banks suspended payments in
the two years, namely, Chelsea State
Bank, First State Bani, Onida; North
western State Bank, Newell; Meade
County Bank, Sturgis; Farmers State
Bank, Mobridge; Henderson State
Bank, washington. The examiner
traces the failure of these banks to
various causes, ranging from failure
to maintain the required legal cash
reserve, a large amount OF delinquent
loans, negligence of officers, and the
carrying of heavy loans without good
security. Because Of the failures at
Sturgis and South Shore, two cash
iers committed suicide; several others
have been given terms In the state
~penitentiary.
In the case of impairment Of CAPT
tai, the examiner finds that stock
holders in the majority will refuse to
make an assessment on the stock,
with the idea of forcing the minority
stockholders into voluntary liquida-
ton or submit to suspension by the
examiner. The law does not give the
bank examiner authority to intercede
for the minority stockholders and
force the majority to make conces-
sions. He suggests that the examiner
be joined with the board Of directors,
which would then give him authority
to levy an assessment to make
stronger the impaired capital.
The examiner makes a strong con-
tention against the lone man" bank,
as he has found it to exist in several
ase He suggests that the directors
be increased from three to five and re.
quire from the five a closer attend
ance on the meetings of the board OF
directors.
AS a further protection to the stock
holders and depositors, the examiner
recommends the double liability of
stockholders.
To avoid the loaning OF funds to
officers of the bank, the examiner
makes the following statement:
Much pooling, wrongful diversion
and ENHANCEMENT of funds from loan
ing to associated interests could be
prevented by amending section 20,
article q; by inserting the word cor
poration, and making it read as FOL
lows: No individual firm or corpora
ton transacting a banking business in
this state shall loan to any single cor
poration, firm or individual includ-
ing such loan or loans made to the
several members of such corporation,
firm or co-partnership, more than %
per cent of the paid UP capital and
surplus Of such bank I invite close
inquiry into the preceding suggestion
and trust some action will be taken"
