The Man of Means

If the wealthiest man in town owed you some mon
ey and you went to collect it, would he hand you the
money, or would he write you check?
The chances are ten to one you would receive check
Why3 Because the weathiest people in the community
keep their money in the bank They know it's safe there
and they know that when they pay by check there is
never chance to dispute the account If it's good
thing for the people who have plenty of money why
wouldn't it be good thing to follow their example1 We
will be glad to open account with you large or small
The size doesn't count Small deposits are looked after
as carefully as larger ones.

Trunk Line to K. &.

We understand arrangements
have been made, to 60 into effect
the first of the year, for Missouri
Oklahoma & Gulf trains, both
freight and passenge, to run thru
from the Gulf of Mexico to K an
sas City. At Denison, Texas, as
we understand it, trackage has
been leased which gives the M,

and from Joplin to Kansas City
the Missouri Pacific will be used.
The Baxter station is now a
24-hour station, and two more
operators bagan work there this

The M. o. & G. is getting
ready to get its full share of the

coming to this part of the country

to form an old-time vigilance
committee to try and get better
treatment from automobile road
hogs who 60 with autos loaded
with booze, created quite a stir,
and we think that some better
treatment is going to be handed
to other people who have legiti-
mate use of the road at times.
But just as sure as shooting, the
tires are going to be shot off of
some of the booze cars if things
do not take a change for the

and passed at the coming session of
Congress, according to prediction
made today by. Senator Fletcher OF
Florida. chairman OF the United States
rural credit commission Senator

some amendments would be made to
the federal seserve act. making it
easier for farmers to obtain personal
credit at lower rates of interest
The great need of rural credft

he said. from the fact that today the
mortgages on the homes and property
of farmers of the country amount to
So. 900, 600. 900. and the farmers are pay
ing from 5 to 20 per cent on this va st
sum of money. No industry in the
country could stand such a strain
Senator Fletcher said in order to get
the bill passed it might be necessary to
have it elastic in scope, so that in some
parts of the country highly central
lied rural credit system might be
adopted, while in others "A more indie :
pendent system might be had The
needs of the various sections of the
country would have to be considered,

WAsHINGToN's ARCHITECTURE
A Protest Against Recent Private
DEVELOPMENTS.
To the Editor OF Tie Star:

To the Editor OF Tie Star:
An infrequent visitor to the federal
city of Washington and LEnfaut must
be Mortified by recent building de-
velopments.
The quaint outline of ST. Johns
Church, reminiscent of colonial times.
Is lost in a new towering brick mon
strosity that now dominates the quiet
square and the White House. The
Corcoran gallery and the magnificent
group near the American building
are crushed and Inundated by the ugly
skyscrapers that have crept into that
area; and not content with running the
skyline. these new structures present
stark. unfinished rear construction
to the pedestrian in the Mall.
II Washington has determined TO
yield her unique and desirable place
as a city of individual homes and of
low buildings, rather than of flats and
towers, is there no law or authority
with power enough to regulate this
tendency? Cannot our architects lead
fight to preserve what they and their
predecessors have created?

Depends Upon Appropriations.

The extent to which information re-
speeding the cost OF production of man
ufactures is determined and published
depends on the appropriations made
available for that purpose. The bureau
has competent, trained staff and can
enlarge its operations as far and as
fast as funds permit.
May ] further note the important
statement In the report that in this
branch of the clothing industry as well
as in most other branches manufacture
ers make bitter complaints about un-
justifiable cancellations of orders and
returns of goods. The correction of
these unfortunate trade practices
would go far to placing the industry
on a more stable basis. Nevertheless,
as the chapter on capital, profit and
turnover shows, the average manu-
featuring profit on the capital en-
ployed in business was q per cent and
thirty -four out of the sixty-f1ve estab-
lishments studied had a manufacturing
profit of more than 20 per cent on their
capital"
