BANK FOR WORKMEN
 MAY OPEN UP HERE
Prominent Citizens Said to Be h.
 tereSted in Morris Plan

Clifford H. Ayres, representing the .ndustrial Finance Corporation ol New York city, is in New Brlta1h or
 sanizing a Morris Plan Dank, ana stated today that he had interested a large number of bankers, manuIaC- turers and business men in his prop osition Mr. Ayres has sent out ln- vitations to about twenty-five prom1- nent citizens to attend a luncheon at the New Britain club Monday noon when he will explain the purpose and m eth ods of tho Morris Plan banks. These banks are now in existence in Hartforl Bridgeport and Waterbury, as well as twenty-one other cities in Ithe United States. In each city men of prominence have been interested and the names of many influential and wealthy citizens are linked with the institutions.
 Morris Plan banks are not char
 itable organizations. While the idea
 was founded on philanthropy, it was
 discovered that it was a. money-mak-
 ing proposition also. In a nutshell,
 the plan is to provide loans for the
 honest workingman who could not secure them at a commercial bank. His honesty and earning capacity are his credentials.
 Those behind the Morris plan started out with the purpose of sav- ing the workingman from his old friend, the valuable and suave loan shark. At the end of June, 1915. a. circular issued by the Morris plan says, $9,700,O00 had been loaned to nearly 75,oo0, borrowers in sums averaging less than $125. This money was loaned from twenty-three Nor ris Plan banks. If MT. Ayres is successful in convincing his audience at the luncheon Monday that the pro- position is a sound one and if he is able to arouse enough enthusiasm, 8 Morris Plan bank will be opened in this city.
 The Industrial Finance Corporation explain the workings of the Morris bank as follows:
 A man Cor woman) needs say $50 to tide him over some urgent finan-' ciA difficulty. Being unknown at the commercial bank, and having no se- curities he can borrow on, he must rely on the generosity of his friends trust himself to the tender mercies of a loan shary, Or seek relief at the counter of a Morris Plan company Here he will find that he must give promisory note signed by himself and two friends or co-workers who are willing to vouch for his honesty and earning capacity. This note is dis counted at the legal rate of interest,
 and for each $50 received, the bor-l rower agrees to pay $1 a week towerd the purchase of a certificate. of in-. vestment equalling the amount of his loan. At the end of the fifty weeks he has paid for this certificate in full and two weeks later he cashes it at the company's office and pays off his note, which is then due. He has not had to pawn his watch or mortgage his furniture; and instead of paying a ruinous rate of interest to a dis reputable money lender, he has dealt with honest people who have treated him fairly and squarely. When his debt is paid he may, if he wishes, buy one or more of the company's cer- tificates of investment either on the insta1ment plan or for cash; and these are available as security for future
 loans, in which case no endorsements will be necessary.

the state game and fish warden and
the instantaneous demand for copies
of the report, President Frank M.
Gault ordered an extra 1000 printed
This report is a wide departure from
the usual official reports in that it was
written to be read. 1t is devoid OF
tables of statistics, yet it is SO full of
information told in gripping, convinc-
ne manner that the tired farmer or his
family will remain up past their bed
time to finish reading it. With its
illustrations of the agricultural adj
vancement and the simple language in

Oklahoma"
Every phase of agricultural develop
ment is touched upon. The vital con
nection between the state Agricultural
& Mechanical college and rcmunera-

On account of the short time Mr..
Barde had to prepare the report and
he inability to get illustrations for all

official reports as utterly as II ne
had forsaken his command and had
left the army.
There can be only two theories. BY
some it Is thought that the Held
marshal, who has national Idol
more popular by far than the kaiser,
is now preparing to lead the Germans
in Russia by way of the Baltic prov
inces, and perhaps command the ad-
vance upon Petrograd by way of the
Gulf of Riga.
The other theory is due to reports
received more than a month ago that
the kaiser as were his favored offic-
ers. inclined to be jealous of the pop
ularity of the grim warrior. They
were willing to divide the eastern
operations among the other generals
if they could, and hence since the
Carpathlan drive began, the namss
always mentioned have been Won
Mackensen, who has been made
field marshal, Won Lnsingen, who
has received the order Pour lie Mer-
ite, and Won Woyarasch and the Aus
trian commanders. There has been
activity in Courland and north OF the
,Niemen, but Won IIindenberg has not
