Banks Receive Instructions From
Comptroller of Currency To
Permit No OverGrafts

The era of the overdraft, feat
ure which bankers have longed to
purge from ahelr business for these
many years, seems to be nearing its
end.
Orders on this subject were sent
to all national banks from the office
of John Shelton Williams, companoll
Ell of the currency, at Washin gtcm,
ID. C.
AS result of Comptroller Will
iiams' letter of instructions, and the
similar move which he states, is ex-
pected on the part of banking de-
partments of the various states. it
would appear that in the very near
future the ban against the overdraft
will be complete.
THE granting Of oyerdraf S cannot
abe countenanced by this Office
writes, the comptroller, and, he adds
1.-The practice should cease entirely. Z"
To make sure that action is taken
he then addresses the directors as
follows: "You are here requested
to draft a resolution directing that
no officer or employe of your bank
shall pay Or charge to the account
of any depositor any check of such
depositor when there are not suffi-
Gent funds ON deposit to the credit
o1 the drawer of the check to meet
| the same"
| Tie comptroller is going to put
the banks on record, in this matt err,
Tor he continues:
please forward certified copy
of the resolution to this office as
soon as it has been adopted. Let
l the resolution show the names of
TIE directors present at the meeting
To facilitate the accomplishment
OF the desired results, the comptrol-
Ter has taken the overdIaft ques-
tion up with the state banking de-
partments and. he states, they have
lgeneraly agreed to take the neces-
sary action to secure the effective
corporation of state banks in the
matter
National banks will act promptly
i'm fulfilling the request of Comptrol
Ter Williams. Hereafter, none what
I ever will be allowed, and the order
from Washtng ton Will be exhibited

THAT happiness is not bought and

Few wants, pure hopes and noble

Some lands to till and few good

And happy man is Farmer john:

He sees the peas and pumpkins

The corn in tassel, the buckwheat

And fruit on vine and tree;
The large, kind oxen look their

The dovesss light round him. and
