NEW YORK, July 31--The closing
of the London stock exchange this

New York and the almost immediate
decision Of the New York stock ex-
change governors not TO open FOR the

was possible TO say that for perhaps
the first time In financial history, all
OF the worlds stock markets had 81
multaneously Withdrawn their facili-
ties for buying or selling OF securities.
In London's case, the immediate
motive for this shutdown lay In the
fact that the London stock exchange

the important securities of the world

THE FARMERS NATIONAL
BANK HIGHLY RATED

The Farmers National bank of
this city is listed by the Financier
of New York, among the first 1890
national banks of the United States
as being entitled to position on
the roll of honor. The list was
made from the report made by the
banks to the comptroller of the
currency last September and in
cludes all banks having surplus and
profits in excess of its capital. Out
Of 1900 banks reporting, only 1900
are entitled to be on the roll Of
honor.
The Farmers National is 29th in
the state of Kansas, which is GER
tainly an enviable position 10 occupy.

do not belong have arranged to be-
come members 80 as TO join the

Arrangements are under way for
special uniforms and II is hoped that
the band will be seen at the next
meeting of the grand lodge In Hutch
inson. The full organization OF the
band will be completed in the near
future. All the members OF the lodge
are enthusiastic about the matter
and there Is no question but that 1t
will be success.
The establishment OF the band In
itself shows the class of members In
the Abilene lodge, but in addition
they went after the five per cent In
crease In membership for, jubilee
month with characteristic enter
prise. Advertisements were publish
ed in the local papers telling about
jubilee month and the advantages
offered members by the A. o. U. w.

Abilene lodge. No. SO, made the
desired increase.
This is the right kind of spirit and

WHEN H. G. OF L.
WASN'T so HIGH

This story has to do with a strick-
en- conscience and the high cost o.
living. Henry Blatherwick is Sa-
lina's pioneer butcher. Recently Mr..
Blatherwick was trimming, pegging
and tying up a 90-cent roast for a
Salina housewife. A gray haired
man came into the shop and told
him he owed him a little bill. The
butcher did not recognize his caller
and the man did not reveal his iden-
tity willingly. He said he owed the
butcher certain sum and wanted
to pay 1t, that it had been due for
twenty years. The butcher went
back to his old books of 1894. The
amount the conscience stricken man
named was found to be correct, and
after he had paid it and had de-
parted, Mr.. Blatherwick made some
further explorations into the pages
Of his old account books.
The first charge on the old books
that staggered him was one of three
pounds of pork chops for 20 cents,
whereas, now one pork chop will
cost approximately that much. Evil
erything else in the meat line was
in proportion. If it was boil or
roast about three times as much
meat was sent out for rs cents as
at the present time. Country butch
err peddlers who killed beeves, used
to throw all the neck and inferior
parts away, and peddled out the
The parts they threw
away now sell for IL or Is cents
pound.
But there was a difference in the
price paid for live stock in 1894 and
now. 1--WE have to pay four times
as much for a steer now" Mr..
said. ITO make profit
we must economic and care for ev-
cry part of the carcass. l used to
buy good dressed hogs for $3.50
apiece, and / have lately paid the

SANE FOURTH ORDINANCE

The Herington city council voted
down an ordinance calling for a
sane Fourth, prohibiting the sale or
discharge of fire crackers within the

the sane Fourth introduced as their
principal argument the indisputabie
fact that every year many people, es-
peciaIly children, die Of tetanus as a
result of being injured by explosives.
Those who opposed the measure did
SO on the ground that they did not
want to deprive the young people Of
the enjoyment OF an old fashioned
